Thanks for the Twitter thread. That's a more digestible introduction to the paper.
Redlining is provable and had a clear outcome on income. It ended only very recently.

And yeah, fixing that is going to cost some folks. Good news, we could figure out who benefitted or even just tax the very wealthy to get it fixed.
Personally I downloaded the larger files (>2GB) from a torrent file using my torrent manager. Much more reliable than over HTTP. You have checksums, it's resumeable, etc.
To be fair you won’t have time to do a lot of code. I would even doubt code reviews. If you’re setting up initiatives that cross several organizations - the most critical aspect is getting down features, interfaces and guarantees down. Define ways to measure these and get out of the way. If you’re too deep in the weeds you could end up causing more damage and delays. See if you can get out of day to day meetings and find an interesting project to work on, hopefully as open source if your company powers that be agree. But with your title you will have an easier time getting that through.

No, and that’s because he doesn’t have the power to unilaterally do that, but he is trying to get it rescheduled
> but by international treaty (ratified by the legislature)

The Senate alone.

> Fully legalizing marijuana does require legislative action

Rescheduling it subject to treaty restrictions from treaties in force, but Presidents can and have withdrawn the US from treaties without Congressional action. This may be unlikely in this case, but does not exceed executive power.

Amending the treaty requires a bunch of other countries plus the Senate, and modifying the status of marijuana inconsistent with the treaty while it is in force would take a change in law by Congress (but would violate the treaty.)

Note that the current treaty status only requires medical use / prescription requirements, so it could be substantially less restricted than it currently is federally without running into treaty issues.
Seems like a trivial bit of oppression to be forced to sit through a trite racist lecture honestly.

The racist stuff that matters is more how HR engages in ways to implement racial discrimination of questionable legality if it ever hit the highest court in the land but which has never been specifically tried against before and which is so unfamiliar that people don’t fully understand the implications. They engineer novel and creative means of racial discrimination in hiring to meet their quotas, things that would make any Hollywood accountant jealous. Since the law is practically internally contradictory (you can’t hire too many Whites and Asians but you can’t have a literal White and Asian quota) it leads to all manner of imagineering.
$100M has been siphoned off to other chains before binance could pause the chain. Those funds are lost. 500M can be recovered.
> What are the headaches and how do they solve it?

I live in California, where marijuana is legal.

The headaches here are that federal police sometimes go bonkers if they find totally minor stuff like edibles or paraphernalia during some sort of inspection or traffic stop that they do on federal land.

Oh, easy, just don’t carry anything on federal land.

Not so easy.

- Any BLM land is federal. Some people take their guns to BLM land for shooting. Better not have any marijuana related stuff on you when you do that (even if you’re just accompanying and not shooting).

- Any national park is federal land.

- Some local extracurricular activities happen on federal lands. Little league sports teams, Boy Scouts, etc. Again, not that you have to be using at the time, but if you get into an accident at one of these facilities and the federal police sees the state-legal stuff in your car, you can be charged with a federal crime for that.

- Any federal building and attached properties like parking lots. For example, if you’re going to the VA to pick up a friend who just had some medical treatment and have an accident, the investigating federal officer can charge you if you have state-legal marijuana goods.

- Sometimes you don’t even know when you are on or are traveling through federal land, so you can’t always prepare. For example, the Laguna Seca race track is near (borders on?) federal lands with federal roads and federal police, but the scope of the federal lands is not always clearly marked. So choosing which roads you take to the track determines whether you are breaking the law or not.

- Most major airports are federal. As such, even a flight from SFO to LA is supposed to be free of state-legal marijuana.

I don’t know how often possession is prosecuted in these situations, but there are enough stories bouncing around that it’s slightly concerning given that, imho, the number of stories should be zero.

The solution is to have the message from the top being that they don’t want to see these charges ever in CA and similar stares (waste of time), and any extracurricular behavior like roughing someone up or treating them like a criminal will result in an administrative action against the officer.

I doubt this will happen soon.

I think the best we can hope for is for prosecutors and senior officers to be consistently dismissive about any low key possession charges that junior officers make.
Radar has a longer wavelength than visible light. Thus making it better at some stuff and worse at others. It's a crime to not be using as much of the EM spectrum as possible for an application like this.
Forced upgrades in the middle of something, invasive "telemetry" and aggressive ads. Plus a Frankenstein UI and Pluto, the system that makes "your" computer no longer yours.

What a dream.
The politician is totally a thing at large FAANG companies!

It took a while for people to figure out their BS and when it's finally unearthed, two years has passed and they are ready to move on to another team or company and repeat the cycle.

Sometimes they even get a promo before their rube goldberg machinery is finished and someone else had to take the fall.
This is a great start. Being in prison for possession is unconscionable.

Hopefully it gets moved down the schedule too.
I just went through a breakup of a startup project I'd been working on for almost two years with near complete strangers. I've been a serial startup guy for 15 years. The thing I've learned is that contracts are not just paper you sign. You need to take all of the time you can to make sure the partners know what they are signing and handle the risks for everyone involved well.

To be truthful, the long contract writing period with this deal probably ate up a lot of valuable runway but they understood what they signed and when it had to break up, it wasn't that big of a deal. It's possible the wreckage can be salvaged and most importantly, no one's life was ruined. I hope to try to work with them again in the future.

Usually everyone means well. Most of the time people think they know what they intend to do but don't. Sometimes people are predatory scumbags. I like working with predatory scumbags because the contracts are easier. It's people who really, really like and trust you, so much that they have a hard time being honest with themselves. That's when it's tempting to not put the effort in and when it crashes and burns, it does so real hard.

People ponzi scheme themselves all the time. Do the messy work up front! Good contracts make good co-founders. You can always slow down. It's ok to lose some first mover advantage. Make sure you know what you're getting into and make sure they do too as best as you can. Plan out what happens in the failure conditions as clearly as you possibly can. Be weary of people who do not want to do that.
-4.5% ah. So it’s a slight negative.
That would be when Sharknado will have truly jumped the shark.
I had a candidate reach out to me looking for a new position after a gap in his employment. He was not the traditional candidate, and most would have passed on him, but being the #angel recruiter that I am, I decided to speak to him on the phone.

The conversation that transpired was #inspirational. I learned that he had been helping an old lady cross the street and got hit by a car. While he was laying on the street, a 100lb vulture swooped up and he had to use his fire-breathing abilities to fight the vulture off. He was dropped 50 ft from the air and sustained multiple injuries. This explained his gap in employment.

If it wasn't for my ability to #adapt and give all candidates from all walks of life a chance, this individual would not have been able to find fulfilling employment. Luckily we were able to match him with a fantastic #startup firm as an AP clerk. This is why I love my job.

He was not the traditional candidate, and most would have passed on him, but being the #mediocre recruiter that I am, I decided to speak to him on the phone. The conversation that transpired was #beautiful. I learned that he was launching a line of scented candles and got implicated in a class-action lawsuit against big-pasta.

He was hugged very hard by the animal and lost all sense of pride. This explained his gap in employment.

I'm comprehending what you've written, I just think it's nonsense and hypocrisy.

I've also not initiated any discussion with you that you didn't start, so if you don't like reading my responses then you can take your own advice on that one too. Please do contact the admins if you find yourself unable to cope with that.
Ever use a 'window manager', particularly tiling, rather than a full 'desktop' or 'display manager'? I've had the opposite experience, i3 and now sway have made macOS & Windows clunky and unusable nightmares to me - even talking strictly just about interface/windowing/interaction.

Somehow I was sinking ~3/4 of the shots that I took.
I think you've misinterpreted GP. Tech salaries started high, and that is mostly a scarcity problem. The market will correct that in due time without labor organizing because the profits go to the owners, not the workers. The owners are the ones who decide what happens with the profit (reinvestment, their employees' wages, their own wages, etc.).
How could that be?

Very important point. Calling new designs safer is buying into the narrative that older designs are unsafe, which is simply untrue.

It's like saying new t-shirts are more wearable.
> Presidents can and have withdrawn the US from treaties without Congressional action. This may be unlikely in this case, but does not exceed executive power.

Can you give an example? I am not aware of any authority granted to the executive to override the legislature in this way. Is there an explicitly granted loophole or are these cases of executive overreach?
> It might even turn out that having shittier doctors isn't a bad thing if we just had more of them. If access to a doctor was cheaper, and we got more of their attention, perhaps we would not be given antibiotics and aspirin every time we go in for a checkup.

No, because then the folks who would have been the unshitty doctors will go get JDs to take advantage of the exponential increase in the number of malpractice cases.

Personally, I’d rather not go see Dr Lexus…

I have used an internal DNS server, internal ACME server (smallstep which was already recommended), and liberal use of Caddy which makes using ACME insanely easy. I would highly commend it - you just put caddy on the front of everything, and let everything else run unencrypted over loopbacl. Works a treat!
This greatly depends on which part of the 'tech' industry you're in. Yes, if you're at the top, salaries are enormous, but uh, vast majority of people in 'tech' are not receiving enormous salaries.
but you don't show women's buttholes in advertising, so you draw a line one place; we draw the line another place. .But if you don't care about it and it's no big deal, then why is it such a big deal not to see nipples, it's like you have this need to see women's nipples or there's something wrong. In actuality, I think you have a need to act like and say that you don't think it's a big deal; but the European porn and titillation industry is quite robust, so the prurient interest is there.
A significant factor in the fatigue is probably also the use of a monospace font; in such cases I almost always switch it to a serif and breathe a sigh of relief.

But when you complain of white on black, I say it could be worse: for me it was true-black on light-black, because I have JavaScript disabled and in that case the content is placed in a curious malformed <noscript> tag (you can’t put attributes on a noscript tag, it’s basically a special instruction for the HTML parser that disappears at parse time) and the stylesheet is poorly done.
Breakdowns of SAT scores by race and parental income exist. Why don’t you check them out?
Free Markets are democracy in action. They are the most democratic form of individual choice on the planet.

Facebook/Meta maintains it's phony status because people /choose/ to give them their time, attention, data, money, etc. Social Media and the Free Market combined are the greatest window into the actions of the individual in the face of group decisions.

The network effect is powerful for a reason; so is the ability to leverage peoples fear of change.

Social Media will never be destroyed by democracy; it will only be destroyed by an innovative product that creates a stronger network effect than the barriers to exit for current options.
Isn't yours a recursive argument then? You say immigrants are what makes it attractive to immigrate here.
Obama is centrist, and even basic prison and drug policy reform is not a centrist concern. Biden is too, but the Overton window on marijuana has shifted a bit.

Biden is doing the smallest tangible thing, which is great, but hardly earth shattering.

> Put yourselves in the shoes of that developer who can access PHI at will, but cannot update their Visual Studio in the name of security because it requires local admin rights to do so.

One possible thought - they think very highly that you will do the proper thing, but they cannot and do not trust every single vendor out there. Have you heard of SolarWinds?

And honestly updating Visual Studio is something that can be arrange but would take probably 1 hour of IT time to solve and I'm sure they have other things they need to do.

Developers are not special to NEED admin access. they may WANT it because it's more convenient, but convenient is not secure. Maybe you're the most 1337 developer out there, or maybe you're a corporate spy.

Perhaps instead of lashing out and getting angry, approach this like a developer - what are they trying to achieve? Do they have technical debt like you? Is this a good enough solution for most use cases?

Inconveniencing you is not the main goal, so perhaps understand what their main goal is.
Say you only have terrible, traumatic memories of extremely violent abuse throughout your entire life that is causing you such extreme issues that prevents you from leaving your room or interacting with anyone. Would you still prefer an accurate model of your life over a useful model of your life?

I mean, you go into it knowing you're high and doing this for a medical study, so the experience of the setting can be reframed by the right (mind)set. Duty and higher purpose do a lot to change one's mentalities.
Now I'm curious: if, hypothetically, wikipedia was just backed by a single git repo and every edit was a commit, how big would it be and how long would it take to clone?
Also because of a lack of imagination. Imagine using these puppies in large cities. The world lacks a better class of terrorists. Saudi Arabia used to do some wild stuff with planes back in 2001, prompting the United States to kill a million people in completely unrelated countries, but now we are back to car bombs and incels running with guns when we have a whole spectrum of biological, chemical and radioactive agents waiting to be unleashed.
From what I’ve read so far (see other links in discussion), the researchers believe that they have likely solved the corrosion issue by removing hydrogen and oxygen from the salt equations.
I think also depends where in the US. In Seattle, a lot of tech workers are with Amazon. When I worked with Amazon, over two years, there were perhaps two weeks total where I worked less than 50 hours. In that job, and in several that followed, the office was for collaboration, meetings, maybe an hour of actual work, and then at home was where the second workday began in a quiet setting & you put in 3-5 hours additional coding (plus whatever on-call threw at you).
He can and will suggest to the DOJ that they don’t charge anyone for simple possession of marijuana, and they won’t.

At some point people will realize democracy is the problem. We have voted for our own destruction, and will continue to because we can't help ourselves. It's in our nature. And unfortunately we can't vote ourselves out of it.

The hard part is figuring out the solution.
My pleasure and thanks for taking the time to thank.
Just want to clarify that I would never characterize Zuckerberg or Meta as "incompetent". Quite the contrary. I would instead more characterize the situation as Paul Graham did in one of his essays[1]:

> A lot of startups worry "what if Google builds something like us?" Actually big companies are not the ones you have to worry about-- not even Google. The people at Google are smart, but no smarter than you; they're not as motivated, because Google is not going to go out of business if this one product fails; and even at Google they have a lot of bureaucracy to slow them down.

[1] http://www.paulgraham.com/startuplessons.html
Fair point, but overall I'd probably wager yes. PC gamers routinely throw big money behind small gains, even when it doesn't make financial sense. Your typical PC gamer is likely more "in tune" with new tech releases than a console gamer as well, and would be more likely to know next-gen is about to be available (not just CPU's either).
> This is critically important, though. Look at Compose vs SwiftUI for example–Compose works really well, and even in beta was more stable than SwiftUI, which is nearly impossible to support on iOS 13 devices without massive kludges.

People who need to force iOS 13 support are not representative of the development environment. iOS 14+ (from 2 years) represents 99% of the market. You couldn't target that percentage of Android devices even if you targeted Marshmallow, a 7 year old release!

> The built-in app isn't updated because Google moved away from that model entirely. Why even bring it up? It's irrelevant.

Gmail on Android is comparable to Gmail on iOS.

Mail.app is comparable to AOSP Email.

AOSP Email stopped being updated because Android devices never get updated, so it was becoming a liability. Except now realize that issue applies to _every single feature_ baked into an Android release.

> Assistant receives updates via the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and...

Yeah and Google assistant is on iOS... https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-assistant/id1220976145

But it's not nearly as powerful, assistant regularly leverages APIs that are part of new OS releases, so just like you're describing on iOS, you'll get the version but you won't get all the features

> The UI overhaul is a weird thing to be concerned about on Android

https://www.android.com/android-13/

The first headline feature is about the UI changes and that's always been a thing.

> Honestly this is just rude imo, no

It's not rude, it's being real. Android's update situation is an absolute nightmare on so many levels. Millions of devices that don't get security patches anymore since even the 5 year standard is recent and Google-specific. Backporting even the most basic functionality like a simple text view to 8 year old versions.

It shouldn't be defended, Google had the power to pressure SoC manufacturers, got halfway with Treble, then just kind of gave up by not enforcing compliance via CTS. Now they want to switch to enabling updates with hypervisors, but again haven't made a peep about ever bringing down the hammer on compliance.

The same way that the AOSP Email app hasn't been updated in years so you want to compare Gmail, these manufacturers need Google to have the experience (western) audiences expect. So Google is 100% fumbling their one role at being a buffer between the wild west SoC manufacturers want where they drop new SoCs and stop updating them after 5 minutes.

But that's OP's point: how many of "not that many people" were charged with possession to begin with, not pleaded down to possession?
I wanted to say "but one isn't a calculation, per se. It is a physical process that can be modeled as a calculation."

That said, I don't think I get the point you are driving to. Saying I have 1 apple and you give me another, is very akin to 1 + 1 = 2. Yet, calculating 1 + 1 = 2 in a computer is not "the same" as getting another apple in person. (And that is ignoring all of the data that is thrown away by "1 apple." How many grams/atoms/etc.?)

I grant there is a fun view of reality being a simulation. But even then, there is a difference between simulating something, with all that implies in regards to data you have thrown out, and the thing you are simulating within that simulation. They may be equivalent in some consideration, but I find it a huge stretch to claim they are the same.
> The claim is that there is a significant range of computations for which Strassen has stood as the fastest.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Where is this claim made, and for which significant range of computations?
