Federal Courts don't usually grant a subpoena. Notably, the notice of third-party subpoeonas from this case wasn't even filed in the case.

https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/64436614/federal-trade-...

Rather a lawyer that is admitted to the case uses his power as a representative to serve a subpoena. These are usually NOT reviewed by the judge or court first. The person receiving a subpoena can ask the court to quash the subpoena (basically void or modify the subpoena) if they believe the subpoena is inappropriate, unduly burdensome, or whatever else.
Isn't approval voting just a signified form of Ranked Choice Voting -- one without prioritization?

So the strength of RCV would then be more built in tie-breaking.
Knuth was the first thing that popped into my head, thanks for posting this so I didn't have to.
> assuming the PR contains atomic, logical commits

This is impossible to enforce or guarantee at scale. Squashing PRs, though, is practically fool-proof: PRs already represent a single, atomic unit of work that passes all CI checks and is safe to merge. No such thing is true (or should be!) of individual commits within that PR. Whether we like it or not, a branch commit really only represents a "save point" for a developer.
> I’ve never seen the point of ranked choice.

I'm waiting to see RCV pushed by someone's who ideology doesn't exactly benefit from it in their area. It's not a second place always wins, but I have seen a lot of examples of "My party will not win in my area, but it's kinda close, and RCV gives me a higher statistical probability of "my side" getting in".

Maybe approval voting is better, I'm not sure how likely it is for unpopular candidates to win in close areas. If it suffers from the same issues as ranked choice or not.

I'm tired of it all being game.

Besides the fact that GPS already exists, it seems like it would take longer (~20 years) than the 5 years claimed to detect birds.

People prefer bigger houses and bigger cars and bigger phones at the point of sale but then they don't enjoy owning them. That's my point! You only have to watch someone struggle with a 6" phone for a few seconds to see how bad the experience is objectively.
The point of the Pixels is that raw hardware specs don't trump good software and features.

I bought an OG Pixel at launch, really enjoyed it, and then bought a Pixel 3 XL which was... rough for a while. I preferred both and their unlocked bootloaders to TouchWiz on any Galaxy I've owned or Samsung abandoning feature updates on my model after a year or two.

If you've never owned a Pixel, they're just generally good phones. Each one has a unique gimmick, and yeah, you're their QA team, but they're ultimately thoughtful, functional devices that show you ways to add value to the things you do.
Sure, it is better than previous years, where they flat out refused to serve the page outside of the US, but it is still odd how much energy they put into stopping users from viewing their sales material, and effectively stopping people from sharing links.

I don't really agree with this reasoning, since to make it a fair comparison wouldn't you have to ignore any pleasure you get from the dip? A lottery ticket gets you a "little thrill" of the possibility of winning, and the dip gets you a "little thrill" of having your sense of taste stimulated. As you said, the other effects may be negative just as easily as they can be positive.

The framing of dip as having fundamental value because it tastes good only seems to make sense if you already like dip and don't like gambling. Possibly reinforced by some perception that feelings are bad and ought to be ignored, while hard facts like calorie counts and chemical reactions are real and admissible as evidence (this is not meant as a personal attack, it's just something that our society often reinforces).

What if we start on the opposite side of the issue than you did? You get

"What is the value in buying dip? The expected value of the dip itself is negative, relative to its purchase price (the expected value is zero, if you acknowledge that extra calories are not inherently good or bad). So the buyer gets additional value from the 'little thrill' of the eating and tasting of the dip.

"With a lottery ticket, you clearly value the experience of having the ticket more than the money in your pocket. Gambling feels good, creates the possibility of financial gain, and maybe has some bad side effects.

"Junk foods lack fundamental value, and the 'little thrill' often turns into a bad side effect (eating disorders)."

Of course, it's possible for dip to have a much higher expected value if you need those calories, but I don't think that's what we're talking about here. So what makes the sensation of enjoying how something tastes have 'fundamental value' and the sensation of enjoying the possibility of financial gain not?

It's not clear to me exactly what you mean. Based on adding the text file, which sounds like you're creating a placeholder commit, you might not know about 'git commit --allow-empty' which may serve you better.

Not exactly sure of your order of events wrt inserting a commit and editing it (I.e. edit commit message? Or changes?) and modifying it (I.e. see previous) but am happy to try and help if you want to flesh out your example a little more.
Aircraft fires can escalate extremely quickly, and in an enclosed space like an aircraft there's nowhere for smoke to go. Accidents also often result in less than optimal evacuation conditions. Fire may block exits, doors can jam, slides can fail to deploy, all of which slow down the evacuation. I've spent way too much time watching the Air Disasters show [0] and off the top of my head remember at least half a dozen or so accidents portrayed in the show where a plane was evacuated in minutes but some passengers were killed by fire or smoke because they couldn't get off in time. I'm not saying that wide body planes couldn't be evacuated quickly or safely (haven't really looked into them at all) but I don't think it's a situation where you can just say, wide bodies are more slow to evacuate and that's no big deal.

It was the Electron for me. Bought it new for the equivalent of less than #100 when Acorn discontinued it, the only computer I could afford from my allowance. Incidentally it also forced me to learn German and English as a kid, to be able to read the manuals and Acorn Magazine.

Second to learning to read, that machine probably had the largest influence on my career
Understandable but somewhat a picking a lesser of two evils argument.
I've seen something like this in B2B consulting. The decision makers (our customers) have a difficult time parsing all the complex variables and wind up making really bad assumptions that turn into a vicious cycle of broken expectations and even more complexity. I think the basic human flaw here is impatience.

The opposite experience was had in semiconductor manufacturing. Not a soul in those engineering offices would hazard the remotest assumption about a problem until many hours of confirmation occurred first. No one wanted to be the reason something got even more complicated.
> We all now

As a non-native English reader, it took me a while to understand that this means: We all know.

I think native speakers hash the words in their brain based on how they sound. And people who learned English at school primarily by reading and writing, hash the words by how they are written. The latter data structure makes it difficult to find that "know" and "now" are almost the same word.

"Easier than polyglot" does not mean "easy". :-) But I took a bit of time to produce a three-language quine relay elsewhere in this thread [1], and it is relatively easy to follow. The quine stuff (and thus every necessary quoting) is done in Ruby here, Python and Java only prints an appropriately quoted string.

Of course there should be several intermediate steps to keep the number of quotes reasonable (since it will be exponentially increasing in most languages), and that's probably why there are hexdumps after about 20ish languages.

And if Biochem 101 doesn't weed them out, those 100-1000 uninterested uninspired undergrads will be dumped on the next premed course after biochem, moving the problem further along the process and subjecting even more premed instructors to the glut of subpar students. Better to get those students retracked into a more appropriate major sooner than later.

> Teaching these pre-med courses is expensive and hard.

Well they get paid for it, don't they? Either from the government or student loans, most schools aren't doing it for free. From a cynical money perspective, the short term incentives of a school is to never flunk any student who can pay for more classes. But that's not what's going on.
they do enjoy owning them, especially when they watch media on them, and they buy bigger phones again and again.

You're just wrong.
X for wire protocol is truly awful compared to chrome Remote Desktop. I’ve been eager to use it and have played with all manner of settings, but it’s very slow pretty much no matter what. Apparently it sends many more frame updates — ie is very network and compute heavy compared to other modern protocols that send rolling images.
Perhaps, but my point is that the bump is too prominent. It would be nice if it could be more flat.
this is an unnecessary complication of matters. the professors are workers and the students are customers.

I would argue that attempts to obfuscate that are in fact attempts to maintain the university’s power over their students

All of these anecdotes - data - is why I have no degree.

Sure, a student can be lazy. But in most cases like these, it's that you inadvertently hit a weeder course. It's effectively a landmine.

And schools benefit from these too. It lowers GPA's, threatens loans and grants, forces you on a different path, and they still get paid for not doing their end of the implied bargain. And naturally, these "teachers" are nearly immune from criticism, which is why this story is being blasted everywhere.
Depends on what you mean by migration.

We tried enabling CI/CD for our repo on Gitlab but my account was in some weird shadow-ban state where I couldn't see the CI/CD settings page that Gitlab's documentation was alluding to. Consequently, we sought Github.

We didn't have any vendor tie-in to Gitlab and our migration was just changing the Git remote repo.

└─ ▶ git remote -v
origin git@gitlab.com... (fetch)
origin git@gitlab.com... (push)
└─ ▶ git remote rm origin
└─ ▶ git remote add origin https://github.com/$USER/$REPO_NAME.git
└─ ▶ git push

With CI/CD, we now have vendor tie-in. Given that it took us a few hours and a few attempts to setup Github actions, and Gitlab is likely on the same order of magnitude of effort, the vendor tie-in doesn't seem to strong.
Mathematically, selling used, losing tickets at a sufficient discount would have a higher expected value (also negative). Everyone not selling those would consider these to not be fun at all. So there is some value in "live" lotto tickets.

Personally, I view the odds of finding a winning ticket to be only slightly less than buying the winning one, so that's how I play.
I never said it is, but I do think there are MORE competitive places out there. People seem to be commenting on assumption that this is representative of races at large, I don't think you can draw that conclusion. You could infer that African American's are basically never in the top band, but you could also think that the ones that are get accepted at the most competitive places. Likewise you could say Asians are MUCH more likely to be in the top band, but you could also say that the most competitive colleges are less likely to accept them, so more likely they go to Michigan.

I'm not saying either is true, just commenting that this data on its own is too incomplete to draw the kinds of conclusions people are assuming here.
Even putting the identity politics bit of it aside, it is just unnecessarily hostile, and comes across as such if you haven't acclimated yourself to things like this already. Plus a lot of it, as near all of it that actually matters, goes without saying.

I would be interested in knowing whether there are real instances that having a code like this one resulted in a better open source product as an innate feature of the code.
Granted, just keeping FB running requires a lot of work from smart and dedicated people. But we can’t really tell how well they do it. If my bank or cell provider or AWS fail to scale I notice right away, but I won’t even know if FB fails to deliver ads to me, or fails to show me something in my feed (assuming I used FB, which I don’t). FB could actually get away with scaling poorly as long as they keep the lights on because few of their users would notice.

I don’t doubt that delivering an online service, even a crappy service, at FB scale presents some unique and difficult challenges, and I’m sure FB employs lots of smart and talented people. But given the number of supposedly “best” engineers they do employ the results seem underwhelming. I find it more impressive that Amazon manages to keep AWS up and reliable while constantly introducing new services, and that Apple manages to support a billion iPhone users without spewing ads in their face.
No.

I think the market specifically for “Ranked-Choice Voting” is probably way smaller than the need for “easy/better/awesome polling and survey tools”.

Just keep that in mind as you grow and good luck with everything
I'm not sure why your being downvoted (or whatever it's called on here). It's a legitimate question. It looks like one person in here claims to have some amount of knowledge on the matter, but it would be good to get some kind of confirmation in either direction before endorsing one tactic, or another.
They probably have a script that creates an archive of all social media posts. Not hard to do. As soon as you have a name to point it to you can run this sort of tool.
A question and a comment:

1. Would it be straightforward to add other voting systems? The easiest one to add would be approval voting ("Check off any option you'd support"). This has very similar benefits to ranked voting, and is more appropriate in many situations.

2. Your description of "How Ranked-Choice Voting Works" describes the "first round" and then the "next round" and "repeat until a winner is found." While those of us who understand RCV understand that these rounds are automatically built into the system, I think it's never made clear to a newbie that the voters don't have to go back and vote again.
I don't see anything bad or unexpected about that. I was subscribed to 4 streaming services at some point in time. But then I cancelled some, because I didn't find anything to watch at that point in time. I will resubscribe once they have new content.

This still means I still paid on average for 2.3 streaming services for the year, which sounds to me like I appreciate the services and I'm happy to spend money overall on it - and not that I think they are unnecessary and should go away.
what consequences?

I think the line is drawn at actual stealing. In this case, they're not redesigning the protocol from memory or black box testing. Allegedly they took several specs of the protocol from former employees. Even then, apparently the founders were involved in some of the Patent filings from splunk that they are accused of violating. You cant claim IP for a company in the form of a patent and then turn around and re-implement that IP. You clearly believed it was patent-able since you patented it. There's ways of doing this (clean room dev) if you wanted to do that without infringement. (I do feel a lot of the patent claims in the lawsuit are typical generic weak software patents)

Really egregious is taking the sales data. Business analytics around leads, customer satisfaction, pricing, etc are not the same as retaining general knowledge. If you left and remember the point of contact you had at a customer, that's allowed (barring non-solicitation agreements). If you leave and you take a list of customers, data that the business has generated about them, etc, that was never yours and it's not your knowledge. It's clearly the business's and there's usually dozens of people involved in the creation. That's clearly theft, especially since it was never yours to begin with.

As modern capitalism goes, Meta is not on the low end of the scale WRT whatever we're calling ethical in a system that has legal penalties for leaving money on the table.

It's a ruthless, profit-drive, shareholder-owned, S&P 500-dominating company like all the rest, so you get all of that into the mix. It's not a particularly flattering group to be in if you're big into modern northern european social-good democracy.

But the idea that Meta is like, worse than the sovereign wealth fund in Riyadh that YC routinely connects founders with, or worse than Exxon, or worse than the pharma cartels, or? I could go on.

That's just silly now, come on.
Or, hear me out, the person paying money is the customer. Students are within their rights to criticize the services they pay for.

I have no patience for professors on an ego trip. If a majority of students consistently fail your class, then you are failing as an educator. Besides teaching, it also includes designing an appropriate lesson plan for the level of their students.

There are very few fields where we place the responsibility on customers to suck it up if they regularly receive a bad product or service.
1st year free?

Lots of cellphone plans give you 1-year free for X streaming service.

I wonder if a disproportionate of cancelations were due to people not wanting to pay for the steaming service at the end of their free plan.
> you get rid of code magically disappearing (null checks after null pointer deref for example) and becoming security problems when you update your compiler.

You're not going to get that. It would make these proposed safety checks unshipably slow. Languages that have bounds checked array access by default rely on the compiler/JIT being able to recognize in the common case that those branches are dead code & eliminating them. Those "magically disappearing null checks" are in the same category. Mandating that they cannot be optimized away, even though the compiler can "prove" that they are not necessary, isn't going to fly.
