My point: There was and there still is a lot of racist, misogynistic stuff published in the past and today. The trials were just an example of that: assuming informed consent does not apply to Black people is racist, isn’t it?
If you don’t believe me that race science is still publishable, there’s the Mankind Quarterly peddling race science since 1960. Do I want to see these papers in Nature? No! You want to?

> My concern is that legitimate science will be suppressed in the name of "diversity, equity, and inclusion".

Ok, valid concern. I am concerned that scientific publications due to bad generalizations support racist ideology as they did in the past. I can show you that racist stuff is still published in academic journals (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankind\_Quarterly ).
Can you show me where legitimate papers with decent studies (and decent methodology) are suppressed and not published? There are a lot of people screaming "We are silenced by the establishment." However, if you look at their work, it's often flawed and horribly wrong (in terms of methodology). Like I pointed out about the Bell Curve in another thread.

I read the Nature editor notes, as "be careful with your assumptions as we cannot explore and know some causation as controlled experiments in those fields would be unethical." especially highlighting the problems from the past (oh man... there are so many horrible sexist and racist papers published).
Isn't it obvious why? Everybody uses cops as a punching bag but they are merely buying information that 3rd parties are willing to sell. The 3rd parties have deep pockets. How do you hold the data selling 3rd parties accountable? I'm not sure how. Nobody wants to give up their phones.

The "Select Busses" in NYC work like this. They're express, medium distance, bus lines that take a separate ticket than the standard MTA busses. To keep them express, they don't scan your ticket on entry. But every 1/10 busses has an MTA officer who inspects for tickets.

I think the government does subsidize the fare quite a bit. $2.75 will get you from any station in the 5 Burroughs to any other station. I don't know another metro transit system as cheap.
This implies that there is one true price, while, in fact, prices on the labor markets are constantly in flux. The market price is the result of individual transactions, so one could argue that limiting the free negotiation of prices to some previously published price range prevents the market from finding the best price for both sides.
I found the controllers easy to spot as a foreigner; they look like hardened police officers who will not take your shit if you don't have a ticket.

That's my experience, at least.

When I was young and poor I "saved money" by buying the ticket in the morning, and only stamping it on the way back in the evening. I gambled successfully that if you get caught in the morning then you are the foreigner who does have a ticket (time of purchase is on the ticket) but "was not aware" that you had to stamp it.

How could you, a non-expert, discern what parts were bias or not? You might believe you'd learn more things, but how much of it would be spun? What is left out, glossed over, or exaggerated?
In most cases, I think you can do fine with just having a proper async interface to the data pipeline, where you trigger something, and then you respond to the trigger that it has completed.

You're speaking figuratively right when you say paycheck. People in the US don't actually still get a physical paycheck right?
Absolutely. Government too.
Yep, that’s the country I’m in too. We’re energy dependent, so it’s to be expected. In a way, it will expedite improvements in efficiency where possible. Some won’t be able to afford that, which is the more concerning part. But all in all, we know most of the EU is under the same pressure and there’s things in motion to be helpful about.

Of course then you look at our nuclear neighbor and it’s hard to forgive the rhetoric that made us energy dependent in the first place.

I don't think gambling should be illegal, but I think casino games and lotteries should be illegal. The expected value is the only reason for me. When the expected value is negative, it's not really gambling.

Expected value from gambling should be zero, going slightly negative because the table and the room needs to be paid for. People making money from gambling should be making money from providing services to gamblers, not taxing the pot with a rake or a vig.
Until reading the replies in this topic, I had no idea that gambling was still so controversial in the USA. From outside the country, the media portrayal makes it seem like it is broadly accepted. Is it religious morality issue? Telling people they cannot play with their money seems awfully paternalistic for a country whose image revolves around personal liberties.
The author could not be more wrong.

Branches exist to handle and process A) cash demands, B) check and other non-specie instruments, and C) paper for commercial clients. If they’re a community or specialty bank, branches also exist to serve the particular, unusual needs of their community,—usually business needs. These special needs often include unusual skills such as assessing the quality of a crop or meeting with specialized experts.

That branches happen to also offer convenience to consumers is a happy accident, mostly, and it’s happier in that businesspeople are themselves consumers and often select their business bank based on where they personally bank. Branches are JUSTIFIED regulatorily by their public benefit which centers, in most cases, around consumer and SMB (which is to say, prosumer) access. But like many things, the regulatory rationale and the real purpose do not fully correspond. I’m sure you’re as shocked as I.

If branches were about sourcing consumer deposits, they would be uninsurable properties, because banks would burn their branches to the ground. Rest assured.

The Simplest and Most Effective Sliding Patio Door Lock (2014)
We've always been frugal. If something is expensive we just don't buy. We don't buy junk/processed foods. Don't buy the latest and greatest electronics/gizmos/fashion etc. Eat out very infrequently (restaurant prices are up but not crazy up). Own my house. EV (that's where I splurged) so don't care about gas prices (around here electricity I think is pretty much the same).

One year of +8% (on average) after decades of virtually no inflation seems like a non-event at least so far. I would say for stuff we spend money on it's probably been a fair bit less than 8%.

I wanted to go somewhere on vacation, prices were higher than I expected, so I went somewhere cheaper.
Yes but every article points fingers at cops- the wrong target. The right target are the data brokers. How would you possibly tell cops they cannot use information that others can freely purchase?

I just finished reading a book called The Dictators Handbook, which is a tounge-and-cheek title for a book about a political science topic called selectorate theory.

It said that corporations have a similar political makeup to communist dictatorships because the number of key supporters (shareholders) a CEO needs to stay in power represents a relatively small proportion of people in the company.

As a result, the CEOs only need to keep the largest shareholders happy. Smaller shareholders and workers merely accept the direction of the company. Their opinions don’t matter.

This is why we see CEOs have massive pay and generous severance packages, while workers struggle to pay rents and qualify for government benefits.

There was a saying in factories in the Soviet Union “they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work”. We see this same sentiment with workers today with “quiet quitting”. Putting in more work provides no added benefits. Incentives are misaligned, and this leads to inefficiencies that will lead to our downfall.
You make some interesting claims. Got references?

I'm less impressed with "Yeah there's still going to be massive income disparity with huge segments of uneducated population relegated to informal economy, but that just how things shake out with 1.4B people. It's more important to disproportionately uplift 200-400M...".

I can't see that working out well.

Edit: SK, JP, TW all had growing working age populations during their periods of rapid advance. And low populations of elderly.

This situation is called the "demographic dividend" and is thought to be a key feature of rapid economic/technological growth.

China's working age population has peaked and that is a headwind no matter how many Walmart Ph.D.s it mints.

I guess we'll see in 2040.

There's lots of criticism about the Nix expression language, but it's way overblown IMO. The core language is small. It's essentially just JSON with functions, very similar to Jsonnet. But with Nix, people make too big of a deal out of implementation details like it being lazy, functional, etc. I personally like Nix as a configuration language because it's suitable for complex configurations despite it being small and simple.

There's a case to be made about improving the state of the Nixpkgs APIs though. Stabilizing the APIs and documenting it more thoroughly would dramatically change how people perceive the complexity of Nix. Experienced Nix users grep the Nixpkgs repo to learn about its APIs, but that's far from ideal for newcomers who won't even know where they should look for information.

Still, despite its reputation, Nix lowers the bar for software packaging. Package definitions tend to be more concise, customizable, and reusable than the competition. Nixpkgs contains many useful utilities for packaging and there's an abundance of real world examples contained in a single repo. I also frequently work with RPM, but Nix is much easier in comparison.
Why We Didn't Use A Bloom Filter
Pretty good experiences here with ECS Fargate for Dockerized Next.js runtime.
Network Load Balancers supporting security groups.

I've gone through a bunch of audits, and automated scans, and I constantly have to explain this shit, even to AWS Employees.

How it works with ALBs, which do support security groups:

You want to receive traffic on port :443, and allow it to be accessible to the world.
You have EC2 instances, and they are listening on the VPC at port :1234

So, you create:

- ALB my_alb which listens on :443, and forwards traffic to tg_traffic

- Target group tg_traffic, which contains the EC2 instances and targets the EC2 instance with port 1234

- Security Group sg_alb, attached to my_alb with two rules:

- rule 1, inbound, from 0.0.0.0/0:443

- rule 2, outbound, to sg_servers:1234

- Security Group sg_servers, attached to the EC2 instances with one rule:

- rule 1, inbound from sg_alb:1234

This makes everyone happy. The rules require that traffic from the internet has to go through the ALB.

Now how it works on a NLB, with the same scenario:

You want to receive traffic on port :443, and allow it to be accessible to the world. You have EC2 instances, and they are listening on the VPC at port :1234

However, NLBs, as mentioned, don't support security groups.

So, you create:

- NLB my_nlb which listens on :443, and forwards traffic to tg_traffic

- Target group tg_traffic, which contains the EC2 instances and targets the EC2 instance with port 1234

- Security Group sg_servers, attached to the EC2 instances with one rule:

- rule 1, inbound from 0.0.0.0:1234 (not :443, because the NLB translates the port for you, but not the source ip)

...that's it.

However, now every audit/automated scan of the EC2 instance & it's security group is going to see that you're listening on some random port, and allowing traffic from anywhere. This throws errors/alerts all the time. Even AWS's automated scans are throwing these alerts.

When it's an auditor you have to take the time to explain that, no, that's how NLBs work. For automated scans, you have to just ignore the warnings/errors constantly.

If your instance has no public IP associated, then at least only that port is exposed, and traffic does have to go through the NLB.

If for some reason the instance does have a public IP associated, then anyone who can reach the public IP can bypass your NLB.

If you could have a SG attached, then you could force the traffic to go via the NLB and not come direct to the instance.

By which of course I mean that I expected it to take a few more years before a new generation forgot where we all came from to arrive at git, and reinvents cvs for no other reason than to work the opposite of git, because by then git will be old and whatever is the opposite of something old is new and "progress".

IIUC USB 4 has two variables power and bandwidth and few feature flags like display port. Why isn't it a requirement to lost the value of these explicitly on packaging/listings?

Thunderbolt provides easy but costly branding for high end.
Yes, I had to move for a job this year and the rent is basically unsustainable. I went from paying $500 a month to paying $1500 a month. After taxes, that's half my pay. I know that it's not exactly all the fault of inflation. The town I was moving from is very poor, whereas this one is a little more well-off, but even two years ago a similar apartment would have been around $800. The real killer is cars, though. I'm driving a 20 year old car and I'm terrified of it not working, because I simply can't afford to buy another car with the way inflation has changed the price of cars. All I can think about is once this car dies, there's no hope. This is my first time having a middle-class $65k IT salary and I feel less wealthy than I was as a starving artist 10 years ago.

I almost told my job that I simply couldn't do it because of housing and suspect we are leading into catastrophic employment shortage. Similar to how the climate is cooled temporarily by short-term weather patterns, I think our society will be temporarily "saved" by the recession, but when the economy starts running back at full there will be regions where you simply can't hire people to do certain jobs and any executives who cut jobs now will actually bankrupt their entire business a few years from now. I resent the situation I'm in every single day and do not feel like the extra work and responsibility is worth the compensation. I dream every day of being laid-off and will gladly walk away from the whole thing once my contract is up. There needs to be incentive to continue and I just don't really see that any longer.
There have been times I would have liked to live on campus, and it’s often not possible to get that for any amount of money.

What happened to curiosity for finding secure ways to push workflows forward? People said the same things before continuous deployment caught on and now that's common enough and definitely SOC 2 capable.

I believe it's doable with production rollout controls that limit customer exposure to the code changes and the code's access to data (possible these days with things like pg row level security controls, and blue/green routing etc. - already valuable practices), and ensuring the batch code reviews happen before customer rollout. Even with these controls and incremental rollout, there is tremendous benefit to getting the code deployed into production environments and enabling this review workflow. The point then is to satisfy remaining security controls while in production, under these type of controls.

Is this what DHH and Rails did with Hotwire Turbo and their native iOS/Android libraries to allow you to use identical server rendered HTML content that you use for your web site in native mobile apps without needing to write native apps beyond a shell or whatever native controls you want to opt-into using?

They've been doing this with Turbolinks for years (I think it was first mentioned in a 2016 Railsconf keynote), seems like a good pattern. I'm so happy DHH came up with this pattern, especially the idea of leaning heavily on HTTP (not Websockets) and sending HTML over the wire for fast page updates.
