You can ignore the parent comment. It's become fashionable these days to not use certain descriptive labels in a traditional manner because a certain class of people feel it's dehumanizing by "reducing one to one's condition". For instance, someone isn't "diabetic" they're a "person with diabetes", because the diabetes is just something they have it's not who they are. You're not "autistic", you're a "person with autism", and so on.

It's just a semantic game that is only making communication more verbose for no meaningful gain, as if everyone didn't already understand "autistic" to mean "person with autism".
We absolutely do not have an aether! Light does not travel through a medium like ripples in water.

The aether makes specific predictions. Like the fact that we're all traveling through it because it is a background medium. These were clearly refuted.

Fields are not aethers. Fields do not have a reference frame.
Note that I’m not defending the original claim you responded to, because I don’t think it’s using great data.

Test scores would work great only if almost everybody reached the final year of high school and took the test, or if it came with info about what proportion of the students took it, but it would only say anything about the region or country taking it, not directly about others. (What it could also do is help refute the applicability of historical third world IQ measurements in general, too. But only if you actually identify the exam and location by name.)
No, it's partially true. For every debt their is an asset, but the value of the debt created is not always equal to the value of the assets.

Here is a good article from the Reserve Bank of Australia describing how banks create money via loans, and lists the conditions by which "money creation is constrained." Note how none of the conditions ensure that Value(asset) = Value(debt)

"Money can be created, however, when financial intermediaries make loans."
"However, the process of money creation is constrained in numerous ways and depends on the behaviour of borrowers, banks and regulators, as well as the stance of monetary policy. "

Edit: just to clarify, imagine a pre-GFC mortgage of $1million. This loan results in money creation of $1million + loan of $1million. But if the market crashes and the asset(house) is now worth $200000, the house may be forfeited because the loan is not being repaid. If the house is sold by the bank to balance the debt, the economy now has $0.8million extra money floating around. The bank may have to pay the central bank this $0.8mill eventually, but will do so under relatively tiny interest rates, so the money remains in the economy for as long as it takes the bank to repay the loan. Or the government bails the bank out and the created money becomes permanent!
It's a new project and a review feature is most likely not on the short-term or even mid-term horizon (as implementing it in a decentralized manner is nontrivial) but it could be nice if you fleshed out a more detailed feature request over at https://github.com/headwaymaps/headway/ - it checks your other boxes.

> But for a 4-hour workload? The only way I'm getting that sort of compensation for so little work is if I'm a parasite on society.

That isn't the case with the power of scaling. If the product you happen to be working on 4 hrs a week happens to have X billion users, your tiny contribution gets multiplied by 9 orders of magnitude.

There's still something arbitrary and random about it, but it's not accurate to say you aren't producing net value for your employer/users/society/whatever.
“Owns a gun” immediately puts you in an elevated threat category in my mind. That’s not the same as believing something specific like they are a “terrorist” but i’d be surprised if I was rare in thinking that way.

> No one talks about it

People talk about it all the time, especially on toxic forums filled with foreigners opining about Japan like r/japan. There are many reasons why immigration is not the silver bullet you think it is (some of which have been given by other replies). But the important thing is that Japan and the Japanese get to decide where to take their society and no one else. Telling the Japanese what they should do is arrogant paternalism.
I thought the response was a bad thing, but if it just means we’re finally accepting epub as a common default that’s pretty great, right?
This is very cynical but there's some truth to it. I also believe that it's less conscious. Once people accept an idea they're conditioned to think of it as true, and then when jobs and institutions revolved around that it amplifies aberrations. Maybe String Theory is total bupkiss, a lot of people are going to have a hard time with it.

But with this subject we're at least working with observable data ...
Degrowth is basically Communism, but in reverse.

The idea that you can centrally plan a strategic "shrinking" of an economy, and it will somehow end up better than the times humans have tried to centrally plan the "growth" of an economy (Eg. USSR, Cuba, North Korea, etc) is very amusing to me.

Humans are animals, and when you create scarcity, you increase the rewards to exploitation and violence. We will quickly begin killing each other and engaging in power games to get what we want under any scenario of centrally-planned artificial scarcity.

Humans are already de-growthing themselves naturally (the free market approach). Let's not screw this up by trying to engage in authoritarian central planning fantasies.
I was a grad student in 2008-2009 and had barely any assets in my name. Yet, I felt gloom everywhere, which got me scared really badly. The current recession feels nothing compared to that. I want to emphasize the word "feels" here. 2008 crisis was about the liquidity in the financial markets. [As an aside, you will see tons of research in finance and economics about liquidity risk around this period.] Money was tight and investors were spooked about the financial health of all the major financial institutions. Trillion became the new billion with all the money the treasury pumped into the banks. But common man got shafted big time. All of this was very sad and scary.

It's nakedly political.
"What it buys you" suggests that we should assume reality is fundamentally organized for our convenience or comfort, or to avoid being too challenging to our intellectual powers and/or beliefs.

By introducing the concept of reasons into the discussion, you seem to be adding a new dimension of purpose to it (unless you are using 'reason' as a synonym for 'cause', but if so, it would have been clearer to stick with the latter.) Your belief that the universe has a purpose (if that is what you are saying here) does not logically compel anyone else to accept a first cause.

Update: In your view, there is a hierarchy of causes of something, the first of which is necessary and the rest of which are contingent. Therefore, the second cause was contingent. This implies that the first cause made a choice between which of the second-cause options obtained. But as the first cause had a choice, then it could have gone another way, so it was contingent...
Not so different from Alzheimer's researchers continuing to give one another federal grants for ways to block production of amyloids decades after it has been shown to be a dead end. One wonders what all those amyloid biochemists can do with themselves once amyloid grants finally go away.
The church members are also members of the community that hosts the library, it's probably where their kids get their books. And the people who go the library possibly are also part of the church, and they're all part of the same school board where they argue if little Timmy gets to read books on sex education they got at the library. All these institutions intersect, and everywhere people fight over which norms should prevail. Nobody governs half a community.

There's no absurd reality here. Everyone supports censorship, people just disagree about where or what to censor. They disagree on their shared norms. The true absurdity is to pretend that there is even one person that is religious in the church but secular in the library, as if the two institutions could be separated because they're buildings in different locations.

Ask any gay person who is a member of a homophobic religious community if they're not being censored or discriminated but merely 'moderated'. Sure they can leave, you can also leave your zipcode and move to one with more liberal libraries. This is the 'twitter is just a private company' line of argument that is farcical on its face.

I have started moving from an SFSafariViewController to a WKWebView in my app. In my case, we have a discussion forum that I wanted to display in a sidebar alongside the app, so people could get help while they work. I also wanted to intercept clicks on certain files to open them directly in the app — making it easier for users to check out other work on the forums.

However after reading this article what I will be doing is intercepting any links from my WKWebView to domains outside of my forums and opening them in an SFSafariViewController. I have no intention of tracking anyone, but neither do I want the responsibility or reputation for domains outside of my control
It very much does, as color is not a physical phenomenon. It's just perception - essentially a bunch of weights in your neural network that makes some internal conceptual sense. You can trivially go outside of those "physical limits" e.g. by exploiting temporal perception quirks to get impossible colors (not represented by any spectral combination in typical conditions).

The same can be said about all human perception in general, not just colors. Artists exploit this for centuries, and are trying to formalize this. Newer color appearance models try to precisely quantify perception effects to make better color appearance possible.

In theory they do. In practice, a lot of websites will reject them for the reason you've already seen:

If standards bodies actually cared at all about our freedom, remote attestation would have never made it into the standard.

I was watching the netflix documentary about rubik's cube on netflix with my wife, and you see this autistic kid (rubik's cube champion), who doesn't speak until he's three, being friend with a much more socially accomplished other champion, and you can see him over the documentary looking at his friend and learning. I saw that and I suddenly realized that my whole twenties, that's exactly what I did. I read books and copied other people and wrote notes about social rules and practiced and practiced. I also started speaking at age 3 or 4 (my parents weren't really worried because I grew up bilingual and apparently it's common for bilingual kids to speak late).

I did take a few autism tests here and there, but always thought "oh they're just meant to make you feel special when you score high, that doesn't mean anything. plus i make good friends everywhere I go". When I told my wife she was like "who thinks that scoring high on an autism test is something people want", and we both took some of these tests. On one of the more widespread one (https://embrace-autism.com/autism-spectrum-quotient/ ), I scored 43, while she scored something like 12. My mind was absolutely blown. I started reading a few books and joining a few autism communities, and it might sound trite, but it's the first time in my life that I felt like I joined "my" community. So many of the stories and anecdotes I would read were like "finally I read something I can relate to".

I am looking for an official diagnosis (not simple) without too much effort, because I find most of the value in now being able to articulate so many of the things that puzzle me, or the conflicts I might have with my wife, or behaviours of mine, and mostly not being ashamed anymore. It's been extremely liberating, and it provides me with better words and verbs to tackle difficult situations.
IMHO (having managed small teams) a manager of technical team members needs to be able to accurately estimate how long something will take and the variance on that estimate. This is a core part of the manager's job. If a manager isn't technical enough to know how to do the tasks themselves if they had to, that manager should not have a job IMHO. This is part of what sets engineer-led companies like SpaceX apart from their "dinosaur" competitors and why SpaceX seems to be 10x better in output.

I think the networking stack in macOS is just not nearly as good as on Linux. I think it's fine for a small number of maxed out sockets, but the test that broke it was on another level. Actually, I think it was more than 25MB/sec, it was more like 55MB/sec, total, from 100's of peers.

Honestly, until I got the 10G fiber, I never really tested macOS like this. I have no local tests which could generate that sort of throughput.

How will I know that Meta is still shipping an application based on an uncompromised version of the Signal protocol, without malicious modifications?
Auditing is the normal answer.

Sadly, Meta is not ISO27001 certified, so there's no trustworthy external audit trail.

Barring that, who is capable of auditing Meta to confirm this? Who can see the client and server sources to confirm that there is no MITM? Only Meta, on both counts.

I have to trust their word for it and I'm incapable of trusting them.
> if your special skins are NFTs, that makes them automatically compatible with any and all apps and protocols that support NFTs out of the box

Erm, no. It really, really doesn't. There's a mass of technical reasons that skins are not easily portable between games already, well beyond the licensing problems.

Sure, you could trade them, but actually using them is a huge technical problem. At an absolute minimum there would have to be some insane sort of asset meta-standard that allowed each game to dynamically apply a skin to diverse 3d models in very different worlds.

As for the rest, it's monetization where gamers usually don't want monetization. What you describe is generally a set of net negatives for gamers.

Many apps have this setting but some don't. When they do it is invariably buried in the most inconvenient and hard to find place, different in every app, named something non-obvious, moved every year or so when some PM decides that the settings screen needs rearranging, and it is never synced or saved so you have to set it separately on every device and again whenever you get a new device, in every app.

I wish there was an OS level setting.

>but I think it is worth at least pursuing the idea that maybe DM doesn't exist and there is something about gravity that isn't fully explained by general relativity.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with this. However, the current observations are best explained by dark matter. The various MOND models don't fit as well. We either actually detect and confirm dark matter or someone comes up with a MOND model that fits as well or better and has testable predictions.

When people deride MOND, it's not to say that it can't be an answer later but people who are pushing it now are all ignoring some gaping hole in their theory.

Continuing research is fine but, confidence wise, dark matter is in the lead by a lot.
tl;dr: Animated caricatures
To me, this is the cost of discovery. Just like a game of chess, you have to spend a lot of energy/cost thinking about lines that will not come to fruition to find the correct path.

Poor Alzheimer's research was/is stunted for a few people at the top pushing the wrong path. We'll see if that's the case for DM vs MOND vs something else.

Money will always be distributed to the wrong areas, but as long as you believe the human race to exist far into the future, it will eventually work itself out.
Can you give an example of three colours where the triangle inequality is false? Would be interesting to look at.
No, you don't need to explain anything.

DM falsehood does not depend on any other known thing being correct. It particularly does not depend on MOND being correct.

The honest fallback position is not "this other thing is better", it is, "We do not know. We had hoped we did, but were wrong." Then, start entertaining hypotheses that encompass all observations, without prejudice, not just favored ones.

This could be easily solved if manufacturers simply allowed for using a unique password to unlock the bootloader. Want to install a custom ROM? Simple! Put the phone in recovery mode, insert the unique manufacturer-provided password, unlock the bootloader, flash the new ROM, go back to recovery, change the password to one of your choosing, lock the bootloader again, add the ROM's official private key to enable safe boot.

This is entirely possible, and yet nobody wants to make it accessible.
Do people actually believe in "Dark Matter" - or do they just believe in there being something that doesn't make sense and this is what explains it?
