As I've said, what I believe is that this document _was not intended for regulators_ and is employing _deceptive tactics to win in the court of public opinion rather than the court of law_, and you're welcome not to find that important but I do. I'd also argue that style and aesthetics do, in fact, matter and are worth discussing, as they are part of the context in which the content resides and our understanding would be incomplete without them.

I do think there is a good reason for bodies which are meant to dispassionately find facts and enforce regulations to prefer plain language and straightforward argumentation. But even if that weren't the case, it really wouldn't reflect on my argument. Additionally, everything the document alleges could be true, and the allegations worthy of discussion - I haven't argued that they aren't true or that we shouldn't be discussing them, I have no way of knowing if they are true and am ambivalent about whether we should give them oxygen - and that would not reflect on my argument.
Also would be cool to have a distinguished (via UI) inbox for government only communications that can't be phished. This way people can access more government services online. And if there are any security problems they can be resolved by the DMV.
What knowledge is "in and of itself" means nothing because it exists in a context, the only thing that matters in the case of knowledge (or anything) is what's done with it and how it is useful
It's the wrong way around though, Jupyter notebooks break a git work flow. I think the fault here is completely with the design of the Jupyter notebook file format (and the way editors save to it).

I think it's quite unfortunate that they did not consider that the format would integrate well with version control systems when first designing ipython notebooks.

Have you been exposed much to the alternative to car commuting? I used to live in New Orleans, and commuted 45 minutes each direction by car, usually without traffic. I moved to San Francisco and commuted 40 minutes by bus, each direction. The difference in experience of these two commutes is something you truly need to experience for yourself.

On public transportation, you don't have to be engaged with the road. You can read. You can text with people on your phone. You can watch a TV show. You can get caught up on emails, or slack messages you need to handle. Commuting in general sucks, but not having to have your mind fully engaged on a specific (and frankly boring) task the entire time is an amazingly freeing experience.

Now I live in Tokyo and mostly work from home. The commuting experience here (for most routes) is even better. It's fast, comfortable, highly accessible and extremely quiet. I'm eventually moving back to the experience, but to be honest I'm a bit worried about my reverse culture shock when I have to downgrade my transportation experience.

I absolutely hate driving everywhere when I go back to visit my family. It's dangerous. It's expensive. I have to figure out where to park, worry about damage to the car, stay sober, and not be sleepy. Driving is in most ways a worse experience than using public transportation.
System 7 was so awesome. I was still developing Macintosh GUI software when it came out. It was great to use, and visually pleasing. And as you say, the user interface was consistent, also discoverable, and things did what you expected. Attributes I miss as GUI software inexorably moves into the browser.
Science is built in the minds of the humans though. You should read Kant. It’s never going to be possible to get away from our synthetic a priori constructions of space, time, causality, etc. and no, Hegel doesn’t solve this either

The Costa Rican NIC has the concept of personal domains for costa-rican citizens, but it isn't free [0]:

> Personal .cr domain names may only be registered by Costa Rican citizens over the age of 12 having an identity card and included in the Citizens' Registry of the Supreme Electoral Court of Costa Rica. In order to certify that they are citizens of the Republic of Costa Rica, the identity card must be valid at the time of submitting the application to register the personal domain name.

> NIC Costa Rica shall only approve a personal domain name once it verifies that its holder meets the requirements set forth in Section 9 of this document for the registration of personal domain names. The applicant must also send a copy of both sides of the identity card to the email info@nic.cr.

> Requests for personal domain names under .cr shall be reviewed by NIC Costa Rica using the tools provided by the National Registry and the Supreme Electoral Court of Costa Rica, as well as any other means NIC Costa Rica considers necessary.

No they’re not. You can continue using whatever approach you’re using. Attempting to shut down alternatives like this though could be seen as forcing everyone to accept whatever that status quo and lowest common denominator solution, even if their dev tools could support something better.

As the article says... "This is considerably more difficult with email because of the huge number of companies and services we want to have our updated email address. It takes a lot of time and effort to change your email address and it involves the risk of losing access to some critical service. There are so many of these services in our lives that we don’t even remember who they all are anymore!"

Including a city in the domain seems like it unnecessarily complicates things. If the goal is to provide free access to a more permanent online "identity", people shouldn't be forced to change it when they move.

Where did he talk about it ? I hope he uses a pairing / structured edition plugin. Otherwise I really want to talk about things with him.
this is not a good idea for multiple reasons.

john@smith.stlouis.mo.us? Who gets that first?

arkhramud@maprikhoychich.stlouis.mo.us? How hard is to trace a person from one location to another?

To fix this email problem abandon the email as an account identifier. Use a 'username', or as I do a random set of characters and digits. There is no reason my account (login) has to be indexed as "john.smith@example.com". It can be "SDf23wfwef". And, at an other site, it can be "hdf3gf0s", and so on.

I believe this would also reduce spam.

An alternative is to use what freenet used with your idea. Just issue sequentially lettered & numbered emails with aaaaaaaa.stlouis.mo.us. a through z and 0 through 9 would give 2.8 billion addresses just for stlouis.mo.us. Moved away? forward the email for a period, bounce (?) for a period with new address, then re-issue.
Interesting that nobody question the core concept of online identity. In real world it is useless. Same in the internet.

I feel similarly, I find it a little difficult to start conversations and to ask people questions that get them to open up. Knowing what exactly to ask about is hard for me. But I thoroughly enjoy talking to people especially if they are leading the conversation and they are one of those people that can get others to open up.

Yes. Complexity is the root cause of many systemic issues in many projects I see. I see probably 2-3 medium applications every month. Either things are totally engineered or under-engineered (e.g., traditional php/aspx applications).

> If you rely on a registrar, it just move the identity owner from an email provider to a registrar.

OP put own in quotes because of this.

Still, while horror stories with registrars certainly exist, they are vastly outnumbered by horror stories of gmail/et.al. locking people out for no reason and no recourse.
In the international FIDE list of chess grandmasters, 39 out of 1953 are female. That’s 2%. And while I’m certain that there’s some icky misogynistic men who have made some decisions in that regard, I’m equally certain that we will never see the ratio being fifty-fifty. Not even close.

That being said, I really don’t care what we will see or what the outcome will be in a truly meritocratic system. I’m just interested in the merit.
Perhaps not regularly; artworks that are relatively quick to perform are probably more susceptible to this. Anecdotally I’ve known calligraphers to find themselves practicing the same words over and over again out of muscle memory when just doodling or writing without full focus. I find similarities between this and sports, or even games such as counter-strike. Same map, same mechanics, slightly different flow each time.

On the subject of creativity, I (like many others Im sure) have found travelling to be great for creativity, alone or otherwise!

While there's no realistic way to provide a security boundary between JavaScript modules, Workers are a possibility [1].

> As I recall, the IQ heritability research was done with twin studies.

No, it wasn't. Such a set up is impossible because of lack of samples and sampling bias.

All that "IQ is X% heritable" means is that they ran a linear regression on a large data set and saw that the variance error in the regression reduced by X% when they plugged in parental IQ as a covariate in the regression.

This is a correlational study as causal studies are impossible. Correlational studies are inherently spurious and ignore lots of confounding factors. Nevertheless, we can say that what we routinely observe in real life - smart parents having smart kids, has been grounded in real data.

For getting effect of race on IQ you plug in race as a covariate. Typically, most of the race based IQ research remove parental IQ as a covariate. All of these regression based studies are dubious and there is no real way to correct it. A large data set of twins who were separated at birth could help, but there are caveats there as well.

As an aside, Jordan Peterson seems to love these race IQ regression models and likes to call them hard undeniable science. He immediately switched sides when talking about climate models and how these models can't be trusted, because the simple choice of covariate included creates absolutely unreliable and biased models.

I think that re-engineering code based needs to be a calculated decisions, but i also think that there’s a large amount of resume driven development too.

There are places where there’s a need for k8s and similar, but largely that’s when you’re at google level scale. For the rest of us plebs, maybe leveraging simpler paas solutions or traditional mechanisms are more effective.

For most services, the email address is also mandatory for verification, marketing materials and other stuff. So, from user experience point of view, it makes sense to use the email as the unique identifier for the account, as it avoids remembering another id for login.
Those links don't support any of your claims. Child grooming is a real thing and the right wing media has now made it a new insult for LGBT people or behavior they don't agree with, something you're clearly participating in.

This summarises my own experience very well. I absolutely love my kids, but parenting has been extremely tough. I really don't enjoy it, and feel like it's ruined my life too. I'm less productive both at work and at home because I have no energy and no free time. I never get to refill my energy tank, so to speak.

While I know the fun things will come back as the kids get older and become more independent (or want to take part in my interests with me), I can tell that it's going to take a long time before things return to a degree of normalcy. An example of this is that I used to game with my wife most nights - now I couldn't name the last time this happened. We're both too exhausted by the time we finally get free time around 10-11pm. I also used to do dirt bike riding with my wife - it'll be several years before we can all go and do that. I miss being able to come home from work and relax too. Now it's just different work once I'm home.

It's relentless and exhausting, and while I love my kids I wouldn't choose to do it if I had my time over again.

Quick edit - I should add that I give 100% to parenting my kids. I chose to go down this path with my wife and I make sure that my kids don't suffer for my displeasure. They're awesome people and have a great life. I just sorely miss my free time and my ability to be productive at work.
There is also a half-way solution which is to run your own mail server for inbound traffic and use a mail delivery company to relay the outbound mail.

This gives you full control of receiving emails (for the online identity part) and gmail can't lock you out of your life with no recourse. But you don't need to deal with outbound email handling which is a bit more work.
I would have smiled at your comment. But I have an acute case of Bike Face.
Maybe some gov agencies have the kind of culture that is biased toward a dry and austere communication style such as that typically found in papers coming out of regulatory agencies (and ones presented to them), but I assure you it is not a issue of logic; it's an issue of cultural preference. Trying to argue that a certain communication style is more productive in a certain context is again a cultural bias (not of your opinion but of theirs)
I have 6 neighbors in my cul-de-sac. The Amazon truck probably visits 5 out of 7 days a week. I never worried about whether my Amazon purchases were wasteful based on trucks and fuel. They were quite wasteful in the sense that I bought a lot of cheap crap I didn't actually need.
How can you be sure any research won't result in violence? How do you establish whether a given piece of research/data will result in violence?

Is your basic operating model for this: "Never show any data that shows there are group differences, because it can be used by violent extremists"?

If that is your operating model, do you support getting rid of ANY data out there that shows differences between groups in ability/behavior, as it could result in violence? For instance, should we ban all public violent crime reporting, if that showed group differences, as it would be something used by those violent extremists you mention?

Azure Event hub and Kafka .. are not message queue.

A real queue have an API similar to JMS, ex rabbitMQ, IBM MQ, Microsoft MQ, …

The difference is you have a mailbox of message from which you remove messages you have consumed by acknowledging reception. Message will be sent to subscribers until they are acknowledged.

So publisher write message m1, m2, m3

subscriber receive m1, m2,m3 and ack only m3.

it will later receive m1 and m2 again but not m3.

Kafka is more like tcp It’s a stream.
Heritability includes both nurture and nature(genetic). There is no real way to separate nature and nurture in these studies.

For eg, if you take Einstein's kid and let wolves raise him, we can expect the kids IQ to be somewhat lower.

I would guess IQ is primarily genetic, but these heritability studies don't show that.

> It's really much better that children be kept ignorant of such things: this knowledge isn't going to help them, or the world, it's only going to cause problems. Adult humans really aren't any better; they're just bigger children.

Yeah, because accidentally mixing cleaning supplies in a way that creates a toxic gas cloud is really better than knowing that common household items can kill you if you aren't careful. Or getting monoxide poisoning because no one told you that using gas grills inside can kill.

Yeah, keep the kids ignorant of dangerous aspects of the world. If they are lucky they will die well before they have to navigate the world on their own.
