> However, if I own a printing press, I am free to decide who gets to use it. Denying someone the use of my printing press — or any other medium of communication which I own — is not censorship; and in fact my freedom to decide how my printing press is used is exactly the kind of freedom that Musk celebrates.

A better analogy would be if you owned a patent on printing presses, so only speech that you agreed with could be distributed that way at all, and all other speech could only be distributed by word of mouth or handwritten letters.
I suppose 對 would be able to cover the rest of the contexts.
It's changing slowly tbh.

I've had dogs as pets for decades. I don't see why people cant eat them if they want to. I wouldn't eat my dog because of emotional attachments, but that doesn't mean that others who don't have emotional ties cant eat them.
GPS is the cheap, easy, and more accurate method of finding and determining location. Time sync is also an important part of satellite communication.

They could effectively reimplement GPS or an equivalent location tech with their network but why when a high quality positioning solution already exists.

They will be continually syncing time and position data for the orbits of satellites and positions of clients. (static clients obviously don't need this often outside of timekeeping, but you can set up a mobile plan for RVs, boats, etc which obviously move a lot)
For me, the biggest issue is business information.

I rarely use map apps to find directions, except while hiking or having a stroll, in which case, yes, OSM is superior.

Most of the time, I need to either:

A) Look up a certain type of business, check its opening hours and (if applicable) menu, phone or message them to ask any questions, and only then drive to the business in question

or B) get somewhere without a car, and figure out the fastest route by public transportation without having to find multiple different websites and cross-reference their respective timesheets

These activities aren't really the job of a mapping or navigation map, they're the job for a data mining app.

OSM often has better paths than Google Maps, but Google's commercial and transportation databases aren't going to get beaten by any open source service any time soon.
English is not universal, that's the main reasoning for that. You would be amazed during the decade of "Internationalization" it was the main talking points of every magazines and computer shows.
What does this mean? What is optimization in this context?

Some kids (e.g. special needs or gifted kids) are going to require more hands-on time to reach their potential. For others, the standard curriculum is a great fit for them.

It's a nice thought that all children get an equal amount of everything, but the fact of the matter is that not all children need an equal amount of everything.
Runners high is definitely real. But it takes prolonged effort. For me, 1h of steady non-stop running or 3h of no-rests cycling is bare minimum. 2x that for the true high
Yes. I originally bought this board with a 3800X and 64 GB of inexpensive non-ECC RAM. That configuration worked fine. I later upgraded to a 5950X CPU, when I needed more CPU power and cores for some software I was writing. After upgrading, I occasionally got memory errors under very heavy load, with the same memory that had been fine with the slower CPU. I upgraded to ECC memory, and it fixed all the memory errors. The memory tested correctly as ECC in all the tools I tried, and also solved an actual stability problem I was having, so I trust it.
No definition is perfect, but there are objectively better and worst definitions. The German constitution called Basic Law is among the best definitions. It seeks to preserve human dignity and provide a decent set of rights, freedoms and equality. It seeks to uphold the division of powers.
The problem is that most use-cases for blockchain require being beholden to a central authority anyway, because a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link, and it’s either impossible or prohibitively inefficient to also run distributed applications that interact with the blockchain.

I think anyone who’s trying to achieve trustlessness by introducing more complexity into software is running a fools’ errand. Make simple, auditable systems.

This glosses over availability a bit too quickly. You can't have high availability without at least dipping your toe into distributed systems. (BTW don't tell me about "single box" high availability or fault tolerant systems. I was there when they were created. They're distributed systems wrapped in tin, one with and one without extra circuitry to add complexity and cost.) A lot of people need high availability, including data availability, even if they don't need high scale.

There's a lot of jumping toward higher-than-necessary degrees of scalability, and lots of gatekeeping, but it's still true that for a lot of jobs "one beefy bare metal machine" thinking just won't allow you to meet requirements - with or without a backup that has to be promoted manually.
>Funding education to the point where schools have tracks that students can move between (advanced, normal, remedial)

I obviously don't know anything about your educational background, but the two run-of-the-mill public schools I attended growing up both let people move into and fall out of the top tracks. Having said that, it became progressively rarer over time as the work required to catch up became greater and greater, and, on the other hand, as the cohort increasingly committed to and identified with their schoolwork.

Well, there’s a bar. One side figured out how to exceed the bar. The other didn’t. That’s a pretty big difference that I wouldn’t attribute to “luck.”

>The problem is many people don't want to admit that the privileges of wealth and status don't just create bias, but they actually make better students. So you'll never have equality of outcome--never.

This is confusing cause and effect. People of higher intelligence end up with wealth and status, and since intelligence is genetic, their children generally have higher intelligence then average.

The article doesn't actually say he was arrested for being the developer of Tornado Cash. It might be trying to imply that (or offer an explanation of what the connection is between the arrest and the investigation into Tornado Cash). All the article asserts is that he is suspected to be the developer of Tornado Cash, and that he was arrested "[under suspicion] of involvement in concealing criminal financial flows and facilitating money laundering" via Tornado Cash. That could (and likely does) mean that he was involved in far more than just development.

Reminds of the time I had an argument over the phone with a guy from a UPI app (PhonePe). There was a hack going around on dormant accounts. I had one account with them which was (maybe?) used only a few times.

I called customer care and asked if they could delete my account. They said, and I quote, "due to RBI regulations, we can't". Naturally, I asked "which regulation document? do you have a number?". The other person did not have an answer and escalated my call. They said they would get back to me and in the meantime, I read all the regulations there were. The regulations clearly stated that issuers shall give an option to close the account at any time. There was no such option in the app.

I pressed again to close the account to prevent misuse and/or fraud. The person on the other end of the call asked me (beratingly) to logout and delete the app. Because it was the same as deleting the account. I argued that it is not the same thing. To which his tone was more or less like, [my words, this is how it sounded] "you blithering idiot, you blasphemous imbecile, do you know how miniscule you are in the grand scheme of things. I am God here and you should bow down to my superiority and accept my solution"

I wonder if I should have sued.
Is dosbox being used as an example, or was that actually the emulator? I find this intriguing. I would've assumed PCem or MESS was a better choice for writing a demo for something like an XT computer. Dosbox is useful but it definitely hits me as something that is emulating a software library per se, and only the hardware as an accident of that, a valid approach that is a lot less useful for programmers working under it...
It may be cold in those places but why do you assume body temperature is any different there? Humans are good at regulating that, with layering and building heat.
In the 1990s, several connectionist and computational neuroscience groups, most notably those led by Jeff Elman and Terry Sejnowski (coincidentally right across the street from one another at UCSD and The Salk, respectively), studied the self-organization of random NN fields as models of cortical self-organization (called "parcellation"). They discovered that under conditions (vaguely) analogous to mammalian brain development, their highly-interconnected networks self-organized into a structure closely analogous to what we now call Deep Networks: "a self-organizing stack of transducers, well-tuned to their operating environment. A 1995 description stated, "...the infant's brain seems to organize itself under the influence of waves of so-called trophic-factors ... different regions of the brain become connected sequentially, with one layer of tissue maturing before another and so on until the whole brain is mature." (From the wikipedia article on Deep Learning's relation to human brain development).
"With Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming, a single click from a Google search result will take you just as far as you get by navigating to the website of your favorite cloud gaming service, picking your title, and pressing the play button you’d find there."

One-click purchasing comes to video game search results.

Would they do the same for movies, music, or books?

They could Netflix-ify the search results so that hovering over a search result gives a live preview and a click rents or buys the content. That could be addictive and lucrative.
When Galileo made his case for a heliocentric universe, there was no silver bullet he offered. He simply personally felt it to be more probable than the geocentric model in spite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary given the evidence of the time. Would you thus claim he was lacked knowledge (of the geocentric universe) if he chose to respond false on a question "True/False Everything in the universe revolves around the Earth?" Measuring agreement is different than measuring knowledge.

As for your hypothesis, what would you propose would be a null hypothesis to test your hypothesis? It seems to me that it would be "Somebody who opposes a scientific consensus will score about the same in a test of general knowledge as somebody who supports it." And the climate change example confirms that null hypothesis, which would thus reject your hypothesis.

Basically on the long term the possibility to use real code that is easy to change and understand will save you incredible amounts of time. If you reach a point where your code is too complicated that you are afraid to change anything, you're basically stuck.

I would say that it depends on if the figure is an approximation or a range.

A salary in the hundreds of thousands, or equivalently 'six figures', clearly includes a salary that starts with 1.

But when it's a definite figure which is being approximated I would tend to agree with you.
Starting a money laundrymat and expecting not to get charged with a crime is a bit absurd. Pretending that it's totally fine because it's "privacy" not money laundering because crypto is special... is likewise absurd.

The study didn’t actually find anything related to cookware. Modern Teflon in the US doesn’t expose people to PFOA/PFOS like old version did due to new regulations. The chemicals could also be entering peoples body’s through drinking water or bioaccumulation in meat or plants.

You should throw away nonstick cookware from before 2013, but new nonstick cookware sold in the US does not have PFOA. I believe the EU followed suite recently.

Edit: After doing more research based on many comments here, I realized I was wrong. The brand Teflon replaced PFOA with GenX, a different fluorosurfactant that's probably worse than PFOA. From what I can tell, fluorosurfactants are more or less required to make PTFE and it seems quite likely that all fluorosurfactants are toxic. Personally I choose to use Teflon for eggs and stainless or cast iron for everything else. That feels like a decent trade off to me comparing years of life lost from liver cancer to time spent scraping scrambled eggs off of pans.

I want to add that a lot of cool startups are working on PFAS remediation. One I know of is Cyclopure, they make a Brita filter replacement that filters out PFAS (it's very expensive at the moment, though). Probably worth it if you live near a chemical plant, airport, or US military facility (airports and military bases both use PFAS fire-extinguishing foams which they typically fail to contain).
There is a paper out there where someone demonstrates that it would take 1.6% of constellation downlink capacity for StarLink to serve as its own GNSS. As you mention, the GPS network is very high quality, and would only make sense in areas where GPS was undeserving or active denial was expected (and StarLink had the capability to avoid jamming).

Edit: I misrecalled. StarLink can provide 10x more precise positioning than GPS.

The point of offering pair programming is that we invest the same amount of time. You don't spend five hours coding to my five minutes reviewing.

If we're at this stage, then it means you are interested by the company, and the company is interested by you. An interview is not unidirectional, you review the company as much as they review you.

> The SaaS's I own and operate are closed-source and I'm not looking to take on any contractors at this time, but I'll let you know if anything opens up.

That's fine. I interviewed a very junior candidate this afternoon. She went through a coding bootcamp, only has one year of agency work. She didn't feel confident going into a pair programming session blind (which is perfectly understandable, it's not my favourite exercise either).

She however had a bootcamp project she was quite happy with, and that she chose to explain.

You can maybe get in on reputation or network alone, but for every person like you there's two hundred juniors who do not have that luxury, and we're trying to play as much as we can on their strengths.

Are you using climate alarmists pejoratively? The headlines are basically saying that our scientific models have been systematically underestimating the feedback effects of warming, which suggests we have less time than ever to mitigate the continuing effects. At which point for you does it stop being 'alarmist' and start being 'realistic'? After it's too late?

Supabase and Directus are my go-to BaaS offerings. In terms of developing server side code(custom backend logic) Directus is still better than supabase. Also the Admin Interface is more capable. However in terms of performance supabase is of course way better. Lucky that we have such good options nowadays.
Well first off they didn't say the price will move back, they said the shortage will end. Now that it costs more, more supply can be obtained.

But also it's likely that when the equilibrium point moved, farmers (or other parts of the supply chain) overshot it. That puts us in a price spike, so even if the new normal is higher than the old normal, if you check during a spike you should expect the price to go down.
