This is why swiping (read-write-read) MetroCard is much less reliable than swiping a (read-only) credit card transaction, and why you need to swipe a MetroCard slowly.

Can you explain what you mean by this part?
'Who deems what a lie is'?

Are you saying we can't agree on what reality is?

If you provide bullshit medical advice to people you should go to jail frankly, for example.

But misinformation, when it's applied broadly, does have consequences and that will have an effect.

Right now we actually do contend with it i.e voting machine lies, lies about Sandy Hook children - but we handle that in civil cases where people sue each other for 'damages' in which case we have to arrive at some truth. Point being - we legally identify 'damages' there.

But the government is responsible for protecting people from 'damage' as well, in which case we could feasibly have the DoJ take people to court for civil-ish kinds of things, or, find some way forward.

I don't know what the answer is, but it doesn't have to be entirely strict or all encompassing and may have thresholds for proportionality etc. or even depend on the integrity of institutions.

We already draw a lot of boundaries around medical information and could do the same. For example, there could be a requirement to indicate lack of authority / seek a doctor's opinion when discussing health matters. Like I like Joe Rogan, but absolutely detest when he starts yapping about vaccines etc. as his position de facto amounts to misinformation which actually can cause harm. If he were required to consistently remind people "I am not a doctor. This is entertainment. Please consult your doctor for advice concerning COVID." (He should have done this without being asked), then I think those kinds of things can help.

And probably we should err on the side of freedom of expression.

But there is a huge risk in getting into an authoritarian situation as people want to regulate others opinions, and yes, as you say, declaring that there are 'only two genders' is considered 'hate speech' by some and they will push hard to stop others from saying this, which is scary.

I'm wary that our governments have the ability to split hairs on these hard issues.
I'm pretty reluctant to discriminate against people to make other people feel better, and I think there are ways to achieve the same without discriminating--specifically, promote more substantial identities besides race and gender (which is to say, undo all of the hyper-racialization that we've done over the last decade).

Moreover, while I believe that diversity is a benefit, I suspect returns diminish beyond 5-10% (beyond that, it's no longer "wow, a career woman! I've never seen that before!"--similarly, a team that is 50% black is probably not going to produce a facial recognition product that is 40% better than the team that is only 10% black, although the team that is 0-5% black may well make a product that performs poorly on black faces).

> The most powerful force for gay acceptance was Will and Grace because it was primetime gay people just being there and it being normal.

I'm not sure this is true; I think it's mostly just that "gays are harmful" was a really hard position to support, and the gay rights movement didn't try to bash their opponents over the head (they weren't trying to cancel people for questioning dubious narratives, for example).

> Last, resume vs resume can be apples and oranges because it cannot account for their path to that. Was there significant harassment, discrimination and other social tribulations to earning whats on the sheet of paper? The stronger candidate may have unseen potential because of the social barriers they had to climb.

You can't assume someone had greater social barriers based on race or gender. What is true for a large, diverse group of people (like a race or a gender) is often not true for individuals. This is just stereotyping.
> void setup(){ pinMode(PWRBTN, INPUT); }

My 5min hack would look like this - and optionally a 0.1uF and a 1k resistor for peace of mind - totally untested though. Usually a uC I/O pin has three states; output high, output low and Hi-Z. Hi-Z is high-impedance or extremely high resistance state, analogous to an open circuit.
Those earlier macOS versions don't have the frameworks to run virtualisation with. There are some hacks (mackintosh-ish) that allow you to run very old Intel releases on non-ARM releases, those virtualise the CPU but emulate nearly everything else.

> Theme parks could actually be geofenced off without not that much work - there are under 1000 roller coasters in the US.

I'm cognizant of the 80/20 rule, and "perfect is the enemy of good," but if a run-of-the-mill coaster is setting off that detection, then I'd wager the traveling fair rides will be even more violent, based on my experiences growing up

I have no idea where this falls on the privacy spectrum, but I'd guess if there are 5 or 10 triggering events within some timespan and some geo boundary, that's an indicator of a themepark-ish setup

Clicking "report false positive" on the phone would also likely go a long way
True, but cheating a bit with a triangle wave would solve it thanks to the harmonics.

Funny how, in this case, the entrenched interests are people who have reputations as disruptors ...
That's a gross misunderstanding of `unsafe`'s place in Rust, and also of the use cases for `union` vs `enum`.
So you’re arguing that popularity is a proxy for quality? So astrology is correct? There’s endless examples of popular things that are nonsense.

Of course the opposite is not true. Things are not bad because they are popular. I just don’t think there is any inherent correlation at all. Popularity generally measures memetic power and that’s it. Cold viruses are also popular.

Student loans provide some evidence whereby tuition rates increase as student loans flooded the college market.

Another example is hyper-low interest rates (essentially increasing money supply), which are largely responsible for the inflation of housing which is a major portion of inflation for consumers.

Therefore a better way to handle UBI (which I believe may be needed by the way) is to gradually phase it into the system to avoid shocks like giving everyone $10,000 all of a sudden. There would still be inflation, bit it would hopefully be less dramatic.
Might work, but I've used an upcoming bonus to secure a higher signing bonus.
You mentioned "hypothetical partner". Focus on that first, nothing else matters.
I understand why you'd worry about this, but I see no other way forward. Alex Jones' lie caused families who lost children to be harassed by the nuts to watched him. Because he had his own publishing platform it's pretty easy to convince people that what he did was wrong and that he acted irresponsibly. The problem is that in the age of social media everyone can cause the same harm that Alex Jones did without owning anything. They can just spread a hateful lie, it can go viral, and then we're left picking up the pieces as a society. You could only investigate misinformation that already went viral I suppose since then it becomes more equivalent to being like Alex Jones and Sandy Hook. I don't know. It just seems obvious that something has to give because all the free speech absolutists have no answer other than to keep burying their heads in the sand as hateful lies spread like wildfire and drive more and more people over the edge: Mosque shooter in New Zealand, Grocery Store shooter in the USA, etc....

Maybe a private/social response will prevent disaster. I'm unsure. The closest historical parallel I can think of to this is the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (a popular document that helped encourage Germany to liquidate Jewish people) being printed and distributed around the USA by Henry Ford. Luckily Henry Ford didn't manage to convince the US population that Jewish people were plotting to enslave them, but the Germans weren't so lucky which is probably why they're so wary of letting it happen again.
It will depend on the school. For many schools it is part of their accreditation criteria that they cannot accept MS students who have not completed a four year bachelor program. This was true for instance when I went to Georgia Tech—often to the frustration of international students who had a three year degree that their home country considered equivalent to a four year program. So it will depend on the criteria for each school, but it is probably most common in the US that you must have a regionally accredited undergraduate degree before starting a graduate program at a major university.

When 2 countries are at war, with active combat going on, is an act of terrorism possible? Isn’t it just a normal thing in war to destroy infrastructure?
No, they will converge on a value with higher timestamp. And timestamps are controllable by your app, so you can guarantee they are monotonic.

I don't think "ideal" is possible, but if you have to choose whether valuable employees in average stay longer than they'd want or leave earlier than they'd want—longer is better for the business.
You have never used Rails, have you?

From the top of my head, you'll also need libraries for:

- Background jobs
- Validation
- Translations/i18n
- CSRF and other common security considerations
- Testing (and integration testing) tools
- Logging
- Email sending
- File uploads (S3 storage, etc)
- Websockets

And then write the glue code to make all of this work seamlessly, document it for others to understand how you made it work together, ensure there are no security holes and battle test it in production.

Saying that Next + Prisma "is Rails for Node" is like saying a moth is an airplane just because both can fly.

When I worked closely with Germans there was a special time of year where our daylight savings changes overlapped, so for a few weeks we'd have a 10 hour time difference, then an 11 hour time difference, then 12. We tried to minimise meetings during that period, as someone always got the timing wrong.

Ah, daylight savings.

An aside: Swift’s generics have a pain point I bump into nearly daily, where type aliases are just that-aliases of the underlying type. This means that protocol conformance/method implementation is applied to the underlying type as well as any aliases.

So if I have two types, both of which can be represented by an underlying Int, but have entirely different semantics or methods (for instance, LosslessStringConvertible or various computed fields based on the underlying Int), I have to wrap the underlying type in either an enum with a single case or a struct with a single field, obscuring the meaning of the type and requiring awkward duplicate naming of the struct field/enum case.

The ExpressibleBy*Literal protocols are some help here, allowing Int/String/Array literals to be directly assigned to the type, but this only helps for assignment and not for retrieving the underlying value (and only
applies when the type can be initialized from the literal without any failure cases).

It’s not a huge deal, but a simple newtype statement would make the generics system far more general and easy to use imo.

If you need a safe tagged union, you should be using enum: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/items/enumerations.html

Unsafe unions are for the C-style type-punning unions, which are intrinsically unsafe.

Ah yes, the typical astounding secular definition of freedom, equating it with nakedness and vices. I’ll tell you something, the vast majority of the Saudis are proud of the Hijab and their Islamic faith that promotes purity and decency. We don’t want the western definition of “freedom” thank you very much, we’ve seen where it leads
So if someone says 'transgenders are sacrificing children' should be illegal, does that mean 'police are arbitrarily killing unarmed blacks' - should that be illegal? Because I think the material reality could be demonstrated that the later is false as well.

I think your argument demonstrates a slippery slope.

I think probably claims should have to be more specific and inciteful to be considered illegal.

Also - I think proportionality matters as well. Saying 'the kids who died at Sandy Hook were not real people but actors' - on a personal level should be legal. But if you have an audience of 400M people and scream that nonsense, I think this might be a problem. Right now it's handled in civic courts, but we could think a bit about what that means.

It's very hard, and there are a lot of slippery slopes. Risky.

"“All of our opinions are open to criticism,” Roberts said in remarks to judges and lawyers. “In fact, our members do a great job of criticizing some opinions from time to time. But simply because people disagree with an opinion is not a basis for criticizing the legitimacy of the court.”"

Yeah, that's unfortunately not good enough. Ideally, you want to store the graph of dependencies so that you can understand why each package is being installed, with useful metadata like the hash of package to ensure you're getting the same code.

You’re correct that our goals and culture that promotes purity and piety is more important than what the secular West defines as “freedom”
The declaration also enshrines the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
I get where you're coming from but free speech is pretty much sacrosanct to Americans of all parties and way beyond the reach of 5 judges to "reinterpret" and infringe on, both sides depend on free speech.

I quit Hacker News and other social sites They became boring

I'm not the only one. I didn't quit because I hated them or because it invaded my privacy (after all I was using it and gave away my data because I wanted to)

I quit because they are boring, content and people are boring. I'm 30 now and before I had a group of friends with similar interests: programming and technology. I was meeting new people with also similar interests so they were posting what was interesting to me and vice versa.

It was fun to be on Hacker News and such. But now when I lost touch with 99% of people it got boring. Some of them post about their new JS tool, some of their job and so on. I don't care, I can't relate to that. I don't even talk to 99% of the people, so it turned into stalking each other.

Also following funders is not interesting to me, they live in totally different dimension. I feel like my "online social life" is dead.
So... you think it's a total coincidence that after lots of people start talking about specific acts of violence, people start doing them? There's no connection at all?
I was in Georgia Tech's MS Computer Science (traditional not online) for a year. It was a complete waste of time. Switched to ECE and finished out there.
I have an MSCS that I took a decade after undergrad and while switching from MechE to CS. An MS won’t really teach you fundamentals, and it won’t make you stronger at the fundamentals you already know except by giving you a structured environment within which to practice and refine those while doing the work. I think the MS mostly helped me to learn more depth over a curated breadth of concepts than the BS that emphasized fundamentals.

The credential may be valuable to open doors that are artificially closed to you as someone without a degree. Even with a BS in MechE and programming experience I had a hard time getting interviews, but as soon as the MSCS hit my resume I started getting unsolicited calls. YMMV.
I wonder what motivation the British could have for saying that the EU's single market is looking wobbly?
"Tagged union" is a generic non-language-specific term that people who study programming languages use to refer to the language feature that Rust calls "enum". Other languages use different terms to refer to the same concept. The feature that Rust calls "union" is not a tagged union; it is an untagged union like in C (and exists primarily for the sake of compatibility with C code).
We have a term for the type of speech that spurs stochastic terrorism already. It's blood libel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_libel

If you spread lies about a group that demonizes them you put members of that group at risk.

For instance, if I started a viral rumor that white male computer programmers all keep sex slaves under their houses and enough people believed it a lot of the people on this website would suddenly be living much more difficult and dangerous lives as lots of strangers would assume that they were evil monsters who needed to be put down for the sake of children without even getting to know them. The murder rate against white male computer programmers might even rise noticeably as they became a target for random violence by people who wanted to do a "good deed" on their way out of this life.
Right, and my issue is that people are exceedingly eager to read their own opinions into random events. This man goes up a hill and looks around for snow, apparently they have been doing this for 300 years...are you aware that the UK doesn't have weather statistics that old?

I would think that the evidence for climate change is reasonably strong given the statistics showing temperatures are changing and the science explaining how this is happening...unfortunately, there is a large contingent of humanity who insist on reading climate change in every event. I have a guy, presumably from the US, who is informing me with great authority about what the weather is like near my house...okay, can't believe I am such a dirty climate change denier for observing that this guy's totally unscientific musings aren't useful (if you didn't know the BBC churns out stories like this all day, every day...man falls over? Climate change. Man coughs loudly in doctor's surgery? Climate change again).
