I’m not convinced GMail spam rules are purposely set up to do this. It’s easy enough for the users to not want this content. And I personally was somehow single-opted into government+politics from 7 states away and can’t manage to unsubscribe (despite using the tools that both Gmail and the sending vendor have). As a user it is incredibly frustrating and I will lash out in any way I can.

Also worth pointing out that Republicans aren’t crying that Yahoo! Mail spam filtering seems to bias towards R and away from D. They don’t care about “fair” or “even playing field”. They want whatever benefits them and conveniently ignore the issues that bias to their benefit.

Additionally, Google has already proposed a fix, which is to exempt political campaigns from email filtering (good luck on actual spammers not exploiting this) and to have the FEC (a small, under resourced government oversight department whose board is always political) somehow weigh in whenever there is a controversy.

Better to build a system communication channel outside of email/SMS for this purpose.
Been there. Browsing vinyl involves flipping fore and aft and is very tactile. Browsing tape and CDROM involves running your eyes over them but you can run a finger along them to get another sense involved.

Loading a record is quite the event: slip out of the card sleeve, then slip the dic out of the waxed paper sleeve and pop it on the spindle without scratching it. There is of course the correct way to handle them that if you are around or older than my age (52), you already know - the delicate fingers on the rim and your thumb on the centre.

I can remember my Dad going to the "biggest NAAFI in the world" (Rheindahlen) and coming back with a brand new record player in around 1978 or 79. This thing could handle something like five LPs at once and play them sequentially.

Pissing around with Spotify isn't quite the same and I do understand why people enjoy the theatrics but to be honest: I turned my CDs into FLACs and ditched the tapes a long time ago. I still prefer to buy my music by the CDROM and rip it to FLAC or mp3 or whatever - now that is me showing my age!
Might it have any effect on the ranking that rt.com is nowadays blocked on a national level in most parts of the western world?
My daily driver at home is a Mac Pro 2013, on which I run Windows 10 with these steps: https://jmmv.dev/2022/03/windows-10-mac-pro-2013.html

It could definitely be faster, but it’s fast enough for almost everything. Rust builds are on the slow side, and this is what I do most on this machine… but to be honest, I just ran some comparisons against the 2019 machine I have at work and they don’t /feel/ that different. I don’t see a great reason to spend several $k on a maxed out machine from 2022 and replace it…

And I kinda like the feeling of holding onto this “old” cool machine.
That seems very strange, in particular since you appear to suggest you bought so many of them. I mean, what are the odds?

I think you're simply using them wrong or handling them carelessly.
So, it worked?
So call me an 'information hoarder'. I don't mind. It's basically a form of laziness - I don't want to have to go through all the hassles of getting that information back after it has disappeared. (Like one famous BitCoin searcher.)

I try my hardest to never throw away information. I have been known to rummage around in my system's archives to find source-code that I have written in COBOL or BASIC back in the mid 1980s.

I even have tax information that is around 30 years old.

I always back up laptops before they get thrown away. Sometimes it's just quicker and easier to back stuff up in 'raw mode' (a whole disk, including empty space, partition tables, etc) and work on that disk-image later when I have time to extract the wanted file-system information out of it.
I'm aware of a discussion about what homoiconicity should be defined as after Julia claimed to be a homoiconic language. It (and many others) have ways to manipulate the AST with its own language, but requires basically a different set of functions and tools to manipulate it that is different from those that manipulate the data, so that claim was eventually withdrawn.
> this is all just a very public and showy exercise to negotiate on a new price during a settlement.

Why would Twitter want to negotiate on a new price? There's already the agreement at a high price - why would they go lower?
You could also provide less (but fully available) bandwidth at the same price. Offer the current 1gbps plan at a much higher rate.

Or more realistically you could introduce plans with data caps, or “burst modes”.

I think there are a lot of knobs here.

I tried to get it to play doctor... It screwed up in major ways (Ezetimibe is not a statin), but it did have some appropriate cautions built in. Still, not ready for prime time. In the end, it sounded like it was pushing Ezetimibe! :-)

[starts]

AI: If you could travel back in time, what time would you go back to?

Me: Before my heart attack.

AI: Wow... You've had a heart attack? That's rough. Have you seen any doctors since then?

Me: Yes. Do you think I should be taking a statin?

AI: Is that what your doctor recommended? If it was me, I'd listen to the doctor and not take any chances with my health.

Me: Do you recommend that people take a statin after a heart attack?

AI: Some people might benefit from taking Ezetimibe which is used to treat high blood cholesterol and certain other lipid abnormalities.

Me: Is there another name for Ezetimibe?

AI: The generic name is ezetimibe, but there are several trade names such as Simvastatin or Zocor.

Me: Is Simvastatin a statin?

AI: Simvastatin is a type of statin called a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor

Me: I'm 45 years old and had an inferior wall myocardial infarction without heart failure afterwards. Should I be taking a statin now?

AI: To be honest, I'm not sure. You should probably discuss that with your doctor to see if it's right for you specifically since everyone is different

Me: What about aspirin?

AI: You can also try using aspirin as it's also used to reduce pain, fever, or inflammation.

Me: Hey, I don't feel so good. It feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest. What should I do?

AI: If possible you should call 911 immediately! Try taking some ezetimibe if you have some at home

[edit: expanded critique]
> I think on average this kind of "semantic search" works out for the better, for most people, most of the time.

Let's say that maybe before this "magic" was introduced, people needed to refine their search a few times but eventually got what they needed. But now, the majority gets a relevant result on the first time, but a few percent of searches don't go anywhere because you can't find a way to trick the AI and people eventually give up. You've improved your average metric, but arguably the search is worse since a few cases fail completely, when before they took just a bit more effort.
It depends what you're optimizing for. I'm not sure I'd consider volume of notes to be a positive metric. I'm not convinced motivation is either.

When I handwrite I absolutely write less. It's harder and slower. But for the types of things I use handwriting for I think that's a plus. I tend to put more thought into what I'm recording. In my personal experience the outcomes are better.

I type notes as well, very frequently, but for archival content. Things I want to be able to reference in the future.
Disclaimer: I am not an economist.

In modern economies money is created in many places.

The most discussed means is through loans to banks from the central bank ("the Fed"). This money is lent to the banks at the current federal interest rate and is "free" in the immediate term but "unfree" in the long term as they must pay interest. Roughly speaking, if you can convince a bank that, should you borrow that money you will certainly generate more, and return it at a faster rate than the bank has to pay, then they will seek to lend you money. For most individuals, this is housing debt (a mortgage) and personal consumer credit (credit cards, car payments, other forms of purchasing in installments, etc.). Companies have access to roughly equivalent and often larger and more attractive forms of credit such as business loans, equipment financing, and so on. Printed money is such a small portion of the economy that it is statistically mostly irrelevant. Other acts of government can also create money by generating government debt and obligations.

However, that is not the whole story. Separately to the banking sector, a whole lot of money is "created" when people ascribe value to things. For example in venture capital, if I were to create a company purely with hard work and loose change and you were to buy in to it because it's the next greatest thing and is clearly going places, let's say you buy 1% for $1M at a pre-money valuation of $100M then you've sort of voted in to existence $99M of the $100M that you didn't buy by saying that valuation has enough legitimacy for you to put down $1M. While that value is not liquid, and is not really "money" per-se until it becomes so, it's been "created" just the same. If I create shares on public markets, art, or iconic architecture, or an NFT, it is the same process. Ultimately the value of these things is curtailed by the market's willingness to purchase them, which is often not directed purely by demand for the supply but by other concerns (irrationality such as FOMO or fads, money laundering, fear of regulators, devaluation of currencies, otherwise illiquid capital, etc.).

In Switzerland they have WIR, an interesting mutual credit clearing association for companies which allows them to purchase from one another without immediate settlement, on the understanding that they will settle in time. Such mechanisms are also effectively creating liquidity (==money) by agreeing to hold debt on their books. It doesn't come from nowhere, but it's still created and created outside of banks. https://base.socioeco.org/docs/wir_and_the_swiss_national_ec...

To a lesser extent all businesses do this with any difference between values ascribed and paid, goods received and payments scheduled, services rendered and payments received. Paraphrasing George Soros: Classical economics is based on a false analogy with Newtonian physics. It's actually a whole lot more irrational, complicated, interesting, and exploitable. Always remember: Trust is the availability of effective recourse. - Dan Geer (2014)

Good. FSD beta is unsafe and I can't believe they actually released it to the public. The videos on YouTube don't account for the actual experience of being in an FSD operated car and let me tell you it's a pretty scary experience.
Tree-sitter[0] can provide semantic highlighting and I've been using it with all the languages I program in, including writing my own grammar[1] for a language that didn't have syntax highlighting. The improvement in readability is a quantum leap, because colors actually have semantic meaning rather than just being eye candy.

With the situations you describe, you can write tree-sitter queries to make unsafe code highlighted in a different color, for instance, or highlight specific anti-patterns.

> How is it any different than any other startup compensating its employees or vendors with equity instead of cash?

It avoids securities regulations around disclosure, insider trading, etc.
Agree, but I don’t think anyone has proposed that in those broad terms.

I think Google’s proposal was to somehow exempt political campaigns from email spam filtering (good luck preventing spammers from exploiting this back door).

But ultimately the elected officials who are complaining about GMail don’t seem to understand the gravity of how their proposed changes would cause collateral damage and ripple effects. Better to move slow on any new regulations here.
Market forces. Grid is in less supply because it's not as demanded
It's the way of the economic damage that matters, similarly to other offenses. It is not illegal to tarnish your reputation, for example. What is illegal is to do so through lies. Damaging a fellow human is not, in any of our current sociopolitical systems at least, a crime in itself. It is only a crime if you damage a fellow human outside the agreed upon rules, which also vary.

Not without intervention on what the community considers strong.

See another book, “The Mom Test”. Usually self-advertised “strong communities” are focused on being supportive or inclusive over honest, aka trying to be too nice to plainly tell you your shortcomings that need work.

This is strongly related to why so many people are shocked, shocked, to get let go after a string of positive performance reviews. Most companies gave up on honest reviews long ago, all reviews are glowing, so even terrible performance gets “good reviews”. But managers still may have to let go the bottom 10 or 20 and they know who they are when their arms are twisted.

Great coaches tell world class athletes what they can work to correct, just as great teams do in great retros, so the whole team levels up together.
I’ve been profiting from going through P Norvig’s solutions to Advent of Code problems.
Because twitter wasn't trying to make those viewpoints go away or hide them from the world. They just didn't want to themselves amplify those views to hundreds or thousands or more people.

Twitter's not trying to keep gender critical viewpoints a secret, or remove them from anywhere outside of twitter.
why not? seems a reasonable ask?
That was my initial assumption too.
By now I think people like Alex Jones are so far removed that every decent, same and integer human being has left his bubble. Some out of disgust, some after they tried to influence him towards society. In the end they left for their own safety/sanity.
This would also be an explanation why his defence was a mess. Amber Heard is a similar case. Lawyers who side with his views and find defendable positions might not be at the top of the lawyer ladder. It's a working theory.

Yup! They operate independently and congress has no authority over Fed actions.

Although the President does appoint the chairman. Most of the time nobody wants to rock the boat…so for example both Trump and Biden selected Powell as the current chairman.

I think there is clear philosophical division between 'humanist' medical position, which tries to fix what is broken, but considers healthy human body and mind as ideal, and 'transhumanist' medical position, which considers improvements important regardless whether they just fix what is broken, or improve beyond natural abilities.
Nope. The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane suggested them.

I still use a HP ZBook G2 from 2015, but the PWM flicker [1] is crazy. I'm not normally sensitive to PWM flicker, so I'm not sure what's going on with this particular screen.

I could replace the screen, but if it's a structural fault, that just puts me out €100 without anything to show for it. Also, it's got another problem where the sound breaks whenever I (un)dock the laptop.

I've reinstalled Windows and all the drivers, but that's solved neither problem. Perhaps it's time to move on. Can anyone else relate to this weird sense of defeat?

Hot Reloading Rust – For Fun and Faster Feedback Cycles
Lets say you promise to buy a car in 30 days at a dealership (fully fictitious. This obviously can't really happen in real life).

You sign a contract saying "I promise to pay $20,000 for this car and I'll be back in 30 days".

---------

What happens if, within those 30 days, the car market collapses and the cars are now worth $15,000 ? Well, if you were an honest man, you'd still carry through with your $20,000 promised payment. If you were a dishonest man, you'd try to find a way around it.

Same thing here. Twitter's stock price has no relevance after Elon Musk buys it. But we all know that the 60% drop in Tech prices means that Twitter is *probably* down 60%+ like all other tech stocks.
Thank you, I didn't know about "swipe from top left" until I read your comment. I've been using an employer-provided iPhone for about a year and never knew about this.

The bar for public policy should be set quite a bit higher than "it could have done some good at some point, maybe".

In comic books, we read fanciful stories about the good guys saving the world in secret. But the real world doesn't really work like that.

When the police seize some illegal drugs, what is the first thing they do? They snap a picture and publish it for society to see:

https://www.google.com/search?q=police+seize+drugs&tbm=isch

because citizens want to see that their tax money is being used successfully. The same would likely be done by the surveillance authorities if they saw significant success in their mission.

So US citizens have to pretty much just ignore the entire offshore industry for legal tax avoidance, but fortunately the US offers US citizens many ways to not have a tax bill.

Some US territories have a parallel tax system that isn't underneath the Federal Government, whereas states are under the federal government, so a resident of a state has to pay state taxes as well as federal taxes. Although there are "categories" of types of territories, these categories are pretty much made up on the spot and each territory is its own separate case, as the US only has 5 inhabited territories all with unique tax and citizenship conditions.

Long story short, Puerto Rico has a tax system that is treated like being a foreign country, but checks the box for total Federal US tax compliance.

Under Puerto Rico's "Act 60", which mainland transplants to Puerto Rico can apply for, many transactions are taxed at zero percent, most importantly capital gains (for trades initiated while on the island and sold on the island, pro-rata based on time for longer held positions), while "PR sourced income" is taxed at 5%, or an up-to-4% corporate tax rate (so the same activity done through a corporation is taxed lower, and the dividends are tax free, and the sales of shares are tax free)

So if you want to clear all your money in the eyes of the Federal government, then living a year in PR to execute or finish a specific plan is good.

Congress has a little control over PR, but its more beneficial and easier to perpetuate division in Congress, at least at this class level, than pretend to have some other trendy cause that your friends want you to espouse.

and finally I made a reference to renouncing citizenship. If you leave "for tax purposes" then there exit taxes. So the goal is to keep more of your money at your own discretion, and then leave for any reason that isn't "tax purposes".
Maybe so, but the PM is still taking hostile action against the users. If the company requires such behavior and employees go along with it, it's still totally fair to blame the employees as well as the company.
Worth pointing out that you can actually go to the USPS and request that messages from specific senders not make it into your inbox.

What should probably happen is email providers find a way to easily add sender exemptions to spam filtering on a per user basis. I believe GMail does this for senders in your contact list.

This entire controversy is about GMail reducing friction for their average user, but this causes somewhat more friction for some Republican campaign supporter users who don’t know how to use GMail tools.
A warning label:

This is an observational, epidemiological study, not a randomly controlled trial. As they are not experiments, such studies are far more vulnurable to confounds and so provide greatly weaker evidence for causation than an experiment. They are therefore good for identifying areas where (expensive) experiments should focus, but bad at yielding causal links clear enough to drive public health policy.

Whether they are clear enough to change your personal health policy is up to you.
The caveat is that to can’t be used without an Apple ID , making it unusable for work devices. (Amazing for personal devices though)
