Yes, Germany and Austria and Singapore and places like that are doing better at this than America.

But you're probably thinking about communist California that passed prop 13 and a bunch of other regulations in the decades before it even became majority Democrat.
This was one of the most crazy speedrun competitions I’ve ever seen, where they made a game out of this in co-op mode of geoguessr.

One person describes what the person sees, which the other can’t, klicks through the Google street view, and the other see’s the global map where they put hints for themselves and together they try to find out where they are.

I wish that such articles explained why those are falsehoods. In this case, it's clear to me, but in many others, I could not understand why half of them were false.

That's unfortunate because those articles are very valuable to anyone building software.
The lake was on private property owned by the parents of one of the participants. But there's an "open to the public" hiking trail at the border of their property. So legally, I'd consider this similar to looking over the fence into your neighbor's garden.

I'd estimate that for most participants, the point of being nude was to feel free. I mean this was students drinking, swimming, and playing beach games for relaxation, not some political rally.
I am glad to have been in a relationship for all the Tinder years, so I don't have firsthand experience. But I know quite a few people who have become miserable from dating apps. For some, using the apps become a compulsion and they stay up for hours, swiping endlessly, obsessing over their profiles or their potential matches.

Then it changes dating a lot. Before, you often people from your extended social circle. You met people at your hobbies, at uni or even work, or when going out. You could ask common acquaintances to check someone out. And you had at least some kind of social connection.

And dating apps remove all ambiguity. You are not in an innocent everyday situation where you happen to like somebody, you start flirting and you move closer and see what happens. It is clear from the beginning that you are both there looking for something. I would find that immensely stressful, everything becomes a performance. I can't flirt "on cue" and I've heard the same from other people.

I wonder how modern dating would look like if the financial incentives of the app company was not the main driver. Maybe you'd have some "neutral" social network that people use IRL where dating was just an emergent side function? But maybe I'm biased because that's how online dating looked like in my early 20s?
"the death rate for the unvaccinated was many multiples that of the unvaccinated"

This is false. You're assuming no deaths caused by vaccines, which isn't a valid assumption. When people compare all cause deaths they find little difference; this was also observed in the Pfizer trial where in fact the vaccinated arm had more deaths overall than the unvaccinated arm. Simply trading one cause of death for another is a bad move especially because "COVID deaths" were overwhelmingly in the elderly, very sick or both, but vaccine deaths tend to affect the young more than the old for some reason.

This obviously doesn't include all the non-fatal injuries, of which there have been a staggering amount.

Finally, the USA did not have 1 million COVID deaths. It had 1 million deaths labelled as COVID which is not the same thing given the financial incentives to over-label and minimal/zero checking of attribution accuracy. That's how you got the New York Times publishing a list of 1000 names of "COVID deaths" on the front page where literally the sixth name on the list was someone who was shot to death. Nobody was doing even the most basic sanity checks and as a consequence the data is garbage quality.
Same here. If they ask for a full US address, I put 1 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills CA 90210 (not sure if that's actually a valid address, but in my experience plenty of web sites think it is).
good news. we need more of this.

Well, maybe Google should check their own implementation, because interesting things happen when accounts for both version exist.

I have an account with the dot, that was made in age, when Gmail was invite-only. Few years ago, someone created an account without the dot. Yes, I'm receiving their mail, and have no way to contact them, because everything I send out comes back to me.
You are right, something like closing a program shouldn't be valid immediately, the program should be frozen for a day with the ability to cancel the closing at any time until the day is over.
Nope. I was just a regular student. But I was part of a group of friends who thought this would be fun so we just privately organized beach parties. Except we didn't have a real beach.
You can recover from that by restoring from backups.

In the crypto world all changes are permanent and immutable.

There is no recourse.

That’s the difference.
Not too long ago I was going through applicants for a developer we were hiring and I asked him if he knew SQL.

He said no. I asked "why". And he said there is no need, because the ORM is enough. (He has been coding for a few years).

Every year that passes SQL is becoming more and more important to learn. It has really become mandatory these days because of the volume of data that we are all collecting.
I once deleted like, maybe a few petabytes of data valuable enough to store on FusionIO cards with a bad config change. I think it destroyed $50-100MM once the dust settled in all the various ways that it cost money were added up.

I’m quite sure the hacker who pressed the button feels plenty bad enough already, and I hope the people around them were as kind as the people around me were.
Sounds like they only lost $661k worth, which is peanuts by comparison to most other crypto hacks/losses, probably didn't destroy the entire company since they're compensating their users, and not really worthy of the sensational title.
Are there that many active (and high value generating) developers from the sanctioned countries to be impediment?

Not being on github also has costs.

It's all about the tradeoffs.
I've never been in a room with an elephant. Is this soemthing that happens to you a lot?
Not bad. For a role as Quant at the European Investment Bank [0], it generated:

A) I want to work at the European Investment Bank because I am passionate about fighting climate change and promoting sustainable development. The EIB is at the forefront of these efforts, and I want to be a part of that. Additionally, I have experience in designing, developing, testing, and documenting quantitative models, which makes me a perfect fit for this position.

B) The EIB offers an opportunity to work for the biggest multilateral financial institution in the world that is at the forefront of climate finance. I want to work here because I want to help the EIB achieve its goals and contribute to European integration.

OpenAI's GPT-3 playground completes the prompt The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42. The question is with not known, but it is thought to be something along the lines of "What is the meaning of life?"
I've come to accept it as the standard. You must try to solve the problem yourself, and look for help when you're completely stuck.

In many cases it's just respectful of the other person's time.

But at the same time it's starting to feel like every experience is becoming like self-checkout. You end up doing everyone's job so that the employer can cut costs.
Simply add a 1 hour unskippable countdown timer to the warning. Now you have to think about it.
I need an explanation for this because the only arguments I have seen are Reddit memes that disregard the centralisation of mining pools.
That trade off is deeply flawed. Future lives saved are impossible to quantify, while lives saved now very much are. But argueing to sacrifice / risk lives now for the benefit of saving lives later, all you do is arguing to get of regulations holding you back right now from making personal gains. And that line if thought is just selfish, entitled and short sighted. And quite prevelant in certain, especially rich and powerfull circles, unfortunately. But after those lives risked now aren't the rich and powerful ones.
I haven't looked at the project being discussed, but assuming it stores your code encrypted in some hosted git, one usecase I can think of is to protect the code from the hosting platform. For e.g. Microsoft ToS for Github allows it to scan / read your code for various kinds of analysis, which some may not want given their history of abuse. Encrypted git can prevent such things. And ofcourse, if one of the BigTech is going to be your competitor it makes to store your data encrypted on their platforms.
Seconding this! The placeholders are great but I was just curious what the best answers to the placeholders were.
I assume they're also free to film in a nudist beach, or are there special laws?

Still, free or not, I can approach the guy with the camera and complain, like OP did with the nudist beach creep.

I'm in Europe, not sure how this works to be honest.
> “I just feel burned out,”

Same, same.

Been on and off dating apps for about 6-7 years now. Trying a new one like every quarter or so, quitting it after 6 months, frustrated by the whole experience. Giving it a new try at the beginning of each year, because "new year, new chances" or something like that.

I know that as an obese person I do not work well with what most people are looking for, but the "no answer at all"-cases are still hurting. Rejections are "fine" (kind of), but no answer at all really fucks my brain up, even after all those years.

Online dating is strange. There are fast-paced online dynamics, combined with our hormones, deeply-rooted human wishes, gamification elements and "pay2win"-stuff. Things that should not be thrown together are totally thrown together and we never learned how to handle that. At least I didn't.
It is so funny to see people that only came to OS X, because they couldn't bother to support Linux and BSD OEMs, always being surprised by the Apple developer culture (the ones actually developing for the platform since its inception).
The Warhammer 40k jokes for this just write themselves, don't they?
> I can’t relate. I found a long-term relationship on Tinder.

Survivorship bias. I have friends who found their partners on there, too. But I got ten times more friends who did not get anything meaningful out of dating apps.
> Improper correlation or extrapolation of data can result in dangerously flawed conclusions. The following paper seeks to illustrate this point
I came to a similar conclusion while standing in security queues at airports. There are heaps of easy ways to do dastardly airliner-related things but the people with the capacity are too nice to actually do anything like that and are all too busy anyway.

Most likely no account without the dot actually exists, it's just someone having written their email wrong at some places.
Command line switches like that won't, IMO and IME, make developers think "wow, I'm so glad this exists to guard against footguns". Rather they'll just set an alias to get around it. Likewise confirmation prompts albeit with a little more resitance. Once a repeat user is frustrated enough they'll bust out `expect` or similar, angry at the original command for mollycoddling them because they know what they're doing and don't make daft mistakes, damn it.
This is one of the biggest flaws in crypto. Small errors can erode hundreds of millions of value.

That's when most crypto companies right now are very small. Can you imagine the chaos if crypto were to actually become big and dev count were to grow to 1k+ people spread across multiple offices?

There's definite efficiency gains with crypto (a dex like Uniswap can do massive volume with very few developers for instance), but there needs to be a way to limit the cost of human errors.
> very real calculus over whether they're serving the public interest.

I would reformulate that so that security agencies have to do that calculus too and it is suspected that they do often calculate wrongly.

There is not a single example contrary to more information available to the public. There can be exceptions for immediate cases, but if you rely on information to stay hidden from the public for an extended period of time, it is a fault in your security architecture.
> The ability to do hyper-focused advertising is effecient and effective for small businesses

I think this is not as guaranteed as the advertising companies make out, while being considerably more expensive both for the advertisers and the privacy of users. Would numbers really be that much worse if ads were micro targeted against the content rather than the customer.

You'd want to retain location targeting, but that can be ephemeral - you only need to know that the page is being served to an IP in a particular region, not the home of a particular user.
I mean that won't work, because --preserve-root is on by default. In the same way, eventually crypto may acquire the same checks and balances that other industries have, but it'll take a lot of costly mistakes to get to that point.
> Americans living abroad in France can vote in American elections, but note the French people. Therefore the US is an appartheid state.

Are French people effected by America's laws and politics the same way Palestinians are effected by Israel's laws and politics? If America controlled the water, power, marriages, fishing rights and freedoms of the French people I would argue that perhaps they should have a vote.
> How long will it take for the emerging Chinese middle class to force changes internally, move up Maslow's hierarchy, and demand freedom of conscience, speech, religion, assembly, press, petition, and privacy?

Standards of living in China were low very recently, for now middle class remembers this, and not having access to a parallel timeline (plus being under influence of ever-present propaganda) they think they should thank CCP for that. I suspect many of them are dissatisfied Taiwan is not attacked yet, hardly a moderating influence.

New was good because humans needed many things (that were new at this point). Now that we got almost everything we need, "New" is no longer good on its own.

The FDA have seen several highly placed regulators quit in disgust because the approval process for vaccines became so corrupt during COVID.

https://www.ft.com/content/af8da7d4-43ea-41d6-90ee-f959b3675...

"Two top scientists who recently announced their retirements from the US drug watchdog have criticised the policy of giving most people Covid-19 booster vaccinations, just days before the Biden administration plans to start doing so.

Philip Krause and Marion Gruber, who resigned from the Food and Drug Administration two weeks ago, are among the authors of a scathing critique of widespread booster shots, which was published in The Lancet on Monday.

The article, which argues that the scientific evidence does not yet justify giving most people third shots of messenger RNA vaccines, offers an insight into the internal tensions in the Biden administration that were ignited by the White House’s sudden decision to back the booster plan."

FDA approval no longer means anything. Did they even do a trial at all this time? For Omicron boosters they accepted trials with tiny sample sizes, in which "not getting sick" wasn't actually the outcome they tested for (because the vaccines would have failed). Instead they only looked for antibody generation. Judging from the press release the answer is no: the authorization cites the "totality of available evidence" including evidence from other vaccines that aren't the one they authorized. They also talk about the "extensive safety data" which is all far worse than would have been tolerated for any vaccine in the pre-COVID era.

But sure, if you want to go on trusting the Experts™ then go right ahead. Please for the love of god don't try to inflict your naivety on everyone else though!

Easy, go to Finland where the Fins expect to get nude with everyone in mix sex groups. So, imagine 10 fins. Someones says "let's sauna!" and likely all 10 will be like "yea!". Now replace 5 of them with 5 muslims (or other group who find public nudity offensive). Now propose the same activity "let's sauna!" You've just made 5 people uncomfortable as they now have to decline your invitation.
Imagine living somewhere where Apple hardware is considered luxurious goods due to enormous gap between earnings and its price. Quality of the hardware is the same but Apple's support is way worse than in the US or even many EU states.

Most people can either afford used stuff or pay Apple with their _savings_ for new and shiny. And then their hardware gets broken during authorized repairs or the new hardware has quality of Chinese toys.

When it happens not once or twice but with majority of your Macs, you think over your choices and considering Mac purchase a risk is not that far off.
If your ancestors had sat on their asses waiting for food to fall from the sky, you wouldn't be here. Clearly, exploration is in our DNA.

Sitting on your ass looking at ads is what advertizers want you to do. And it's in their interest to foster the belief that you couldn't survive without it.
I'm inclined to agree. I like the image, its pleasing to me. So that's all I personally care for. There seems to be a debate though over 'what is art?' more-so than anything else as alluded to in the article :

> Still, as long as new artistic tools emerge, the "Is it art?" debate will likely continue as long as there are people to have the discussion.

For me the question is moot.
It sounds like a bunch of people are going to pay for the cost to users of their own mistake out of their own pocket, so if they follow through with that we should probably applaud the move?

If they welch on it that’s another matter, but the stated time is tomorrow so…so far so good?

Fusion will have already changed the world if it's very expensive and hard to build, and one can't build a fusion reactor in their backyard. This analogy is starting to stretch a little.

Open-source desktop apps for my grandma are not widespread, but still, open-source runs the world because that's what all the software engineers use to build their closed-source applications.

Is it the dating app that is responsible, or that people/prospective dates have became much more disposable in general, and no-one really cares?

You probably want to date people in the top 5 or 10% of your target sex/gender/age range. As does everyone else in the expanded pool that people can now access with the internet or the apps. Everyone has probably been told by the apps that they can get someone in the top 5 or 10% of what is available to them, so will feel unhappy with anyone else.

Most women will probably notice this as guys will only want to have sex with them if they are not what guys have been told they 'deserve' by the apps / society, or guys may settle for them if they are content with getting sex. A few will be able to optimally choose a guy or get all of the casual sex that they desire.

Most guys will probably find that no-one wants to connect with them at all without payment, or getting something out of the deal or will be treated as if they don't exist. Things are probably really bad if they are in the bottom 10 to 30% in desirability. A few will be able to optimally choose a woman or get all of of casual sex that they desire.

I am not sure about subcultures / non-cis / non-het groups or situations outside my country as I don't have experience of dating them and don't know how things work.

I am with the same girl for half my life, so I might not be totally qualified to answer, but I met most interesting girls outside a work context.

That means: on concerts, on hacking camps, in art exhibitions, especially exhibition openings, on film sets etc. These places reflect my interests of course, so I don't go there because of women, I go there because the stuff there interests me. So for you it could be a sports club, a library, an animal rights organization or any number of other, similar places where people of similar interest gather.

The point is: if you want to get to know people (regardless of their gender) exposing yourself to situations where you actually get the chance to meet new people is a good way to increase your chances. Just like your chances of rolling a 6 increase with every roll of the dice.

The important thing is to do it because you like, not because you expect to find women there.
That's a technical solution to a psychological and organizational problem: when there should be no CLI in production, people still use it and get used to various errors and confirmations so much, that they ignore the signs of a catastrophe. Technical solutions never work in such cases.

And then there's a regulatory problem: investors trust their money to businesses which have not earned that trust, because of whatever magical thinking that exists on this market. At least the company seems to be able to return the money, but will it be sanctioned for this failure? There should be a regulatory incentive to do better next time.
