The older you get the more the world changes around you, that rate of change is also increasing. Simultaneously your ability to adapt is diminishing.

It's easy to imagine elderly people clinging desperately to what little resistance to change they have power over. It's motivated by a mix of fear and spite for a world they no longer understand. They may not be able to prevent other races from moving in next door, but remove that mat from the handrail, and stay off the lawn!
So because there is no way of "scientifically or otherwise, to attribute the effect of non-sales to a feature, a service or anything else", I'm supposed to buy content on one platform and then download it on another, just so I can actually watch what I purchased?

Maybe the terminology is wrong, but I don't find the concept of "don't pay for what you cannot/won't use" wrong.
This is true in Firefox and Chrome on Android as well.
I'm glad you posted that information, because it really shows that random online information can often be wrong or conflict with other online authorities. Here are two quotes from an article that was posted 10 years after your link. [1]

"There has been lots of research on the accuracy of Wikipedia, and the results
are mixed—some studies show it is just as good as the experts, others show
[that] Wikipedia is not accurate at all."

and later in that article

They found that in general, Wikipedia articles were more biased—with 73
percent of them containing code words, compared to just 34 percent in
Britannica.

Mine is smallish and printed me a debit card right there in the branch; I'd never seen that before.
“[Able Archer] sounded no alarm bells in the U.S. Indications and Warning system. United States commanders on the scene were not aware of any pronounced superpower tension, and the Soviet activities were not seen in their totality until long after the exercise was over”

This is my concern about the current tensions around Ukraine - we really have no idea what's going on in Putin's head or his inner circle. They could be calmly bluffing, or suicidal, or scared we are about to preemptively assassinate them.
I don't think I see as much of a problem out of academic literature (there are clear problem groups though, not denying that), but more that the problem is how the information is conveyed to the population. Both the media perception as well as how radicals present information. I'm always reminded of John Cleese's skit on extremism[0]. When he lists the enemies of liberals and conservatives "moderates" are included in both. I think we see this a lot as we often paint people that are moderates as "on the fence." We see this with the popularity of subreddits like r/ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM[1]. With one of the top posts suggesting that centrists see "compromise" and "a little genocide" as okay.[2] But is this not the playbook of authoritarians (right or left)? To remove all nuance from the conversation. Centrists aren't people who go to the middle of divisive opinions, they just don't cleanly fit into either camp but pull elements from both. I think nuance is the most important thing we can do to fight extremism in either direction.

One advantage to smaller banks is the personal relationship when you need them. It's a trade-off for features. I've found significant value in having a small local bank where it's a bit harder to do anything digitally. They also may catch strange transactions. During Covid, having a relationship with a bank also meant it was easier to get assistance when other banks were putting you on hold or not responding.
Banking in Canada is rough too.

TD Canada Trust didn't let me use more than 8 alphanumeric characters in my password until about 2015. The only let you use call or SMS for 2FA to this day.

They are charging $16.95/mo for a chequing account right now.

This is pretty standard across the big banks.
I’d say a bug is behavior not intended by the contract’s author. Laws can have bugs too.

What I do think is that you can’t really call it “forgery” or “stealing”, just like using a loophole in a law isn’t illegal.
I don't think this is entirely accurate. I was at FullStory, as a director of development and founding engineer on the mobile analytics, and we were focused on our privacy-by-default initiative that blocks out user PII while still giving you PM-level information.

The founders of the company were invested in privacy and PBD, and we put a lot of effort into balancing data with privacy. One of the founders even spent a great deal of time on the initial implementation.

This work started years ago and I can say that everyone was interested in privacy, from recording/playback engineers to execs.
I hesitate to broadly interpret this, but notes are not meant or used to "keep score", and if things can be explained without naming people they are, for sure, but

"person A is going to help person B to unblock them because of x y z" is about as detailed as one needs to be, usually.

Can you clarify what exactly you mean here?
First, dev dependencies don't count. There two are from shoelace. Color's main features will eventually be in one of the CSS Color Module's specs. Floating UI's main features will be in the CSS Anchor Positioning spec. Lit is used for building the web components. Lit React can be removed when React supports web components better. The QR library can probably only be installed if needed.

This reads like the rant of a salty journalist. Not surprised they were blacklisted.
That is a quote about how the information could and likely is shared; not "limited." The actual claims are in the lawsuit.
I don't know the US market that much... but here in Mexico that's what a decent dev makes when working for a US company.

I would imagine a good React dev in the US would make (on average) closer to 100k? SV salaries will probably be higher than 100k, no?
Definitely. I do think video is much more important than images, because video implicitly encodes physics, which is a huge deal.

And, as you say, there are probably some structural/architectural improvements to be made in the neural network as well. The mammalian brain has had a few hundred million years to evolve such a structure.

It also remains unclear how important learning causal influence is. These networks are essentially "locked in" from inception. They can only take the world in. Whereas animals actively probe and influence their world to learn causality.
A hundred more clicks than JetBrains' one, though.
This is a big part of it. In my lab, I have a lot of grad students who are computational scientists, not computer scientists. The time it will take them to optimize code far exceeds a quick-and-dirty job array on Slurm and then going back to working on the introduction of the paper, or catching up on the literature, or any one of a dozen other things.
not exactly "low cost" to anyone I know.
Yep. Scrolled into the 2100s and back into the 1800s in a few seconds, then decided to figure out which day of the week I was born, which took about three seconds. In most date pickers this would've taken O(year difference * month difference + day of month), here it took something like O(year difference + month difference + day of month).
So when is the JetBrains operating system coming through? I will switch to it if it's as feature-full as other JetBrains products.
I come from a small, conservative town, so about as American as you can get, and I just flat out don't believe you. Homogeneity in the US is a myth - simply crossing a state border can find you in a whole new world of laws, customs and traditions. I talk to friends who have travelled all over the world, and when they mention to me their experiences with new cultures, I simply shake my head and say "But I can get that same experience here."
I feel bad for all the folks in this thread who have to deal with the manager's version of optimizing scrum/agile to the point where everyone hates it.

At my company, we enforce a 'little a agile' culture where we take the spirit of iteration and short-term planning, but we don't do certain ceremonies because we have to. Our standups take 15 minutes, we have a quick banter and then update on what we're working on and any blockers. Our retros/sprint planning are an hour each two weeks. We share responsibilities so that we take turns running retro and tie in themes and silly things to make it more bearable. My team is engaged and gives feedback on the process when it's annoying, which we take and apply as much as we can if the team agrees.

Managers (like me) need to learn that agile isn't for them to get a status report every day on what their reports are doing. It's a set of tools for engineering to be effective. Hire good people and get out of the way. Let engineers tell you how to do their jobs effectively, your job is to clarify company goals and support them to reach those goals.
Signal contact ≠ Phone contact address book.

By disabling Signal’s access to phone contact address book, Signal server would not have a hash value of each and every (10,000+) phone numbers in your phone’s contact address book. This disabling comes with small costs of:

- being notified that someone in your phone’s contact address book has just recently signed up with Signal. (Pop your finger from your mouth)

- of ease of NEW lookups of a friend using your expansive 10,000+ contact address book that your phone maintains. Ummm, your focus is the secured messaging with just the targeted friends of yours, and not one of your crazed ex-girlfriend nor deranged boss.

You still have a separate but more secured form of a contact address book maintained by Signal (and yes, remote Signal server has a hash value of these smaller but limited set of Signal-capable phone numbers of your friends).

The key thing is no one else can see the content of your messaging … over Signal … except who you converse with … by Signal app, unless your phone ends up in the hand of a digital forensic guy before you did the steps of doing “Settings->Account->Delete Account”.

On a separate topic, you should refrain from using Avatar and discourage your friends from doing so. That’s an out-of-band lookup that is available for nation-state or hacker to profile further with.
They often won't process foreign transaction and either can't or won't sell you foreign currency (like Canadian dollars if you are planning a trip to Winnipeg).
Should we stop requiring approval to build buildings?
The banks aren't going to make you whole when withdraw a thousand bucks from the ATM and send it to someone. These denied refunds follow the same principle. There are warnings all over every zelle implementation I've used saying that using zelle is like using cash, don't send it to someone you don't know, etc. But people still do it anyways.

Btw crypto is worse on this in every way and there is no system that actually solves this problem. I wonder if it is even possible to solve.
Thoughts on Kotlin and Idea
It's surprising the lengths they seemed to have gone to make the single player experience not fun. I know the goal is to get more quarters in the machine, but it felt like the wrong way to do it.

The 2 player competitive experience was where these games shined. It's just a shame that there was more potential for a fun single player. Regular MK3 I always found to be fun against the computer, even though the difficulty ratchets up as you climb the tower.

Curious - why is something a “distraction” at 3 people but not at 300?
> ... who has more power or resources.

I imagine it's been said before but I recently had the thought that murder being illegal is a regulation of the market.

The point being that even the most staunch proponent of "free markets" is probably going to draw the line somewhere that defines a "not completely free market" which opens the door to questioning where the line should be drawn. I think that's always been the case but then you'll encounter arguments that something should not be regulated because the market should be free.
The "Zelle transfer" examples seem to be a US equivalent of Push Fraud, which was big in the UK. In the UK's Push Fraud there's no third party (Zelle) involved, victims are persuaded they should send money from their account to an account controlled by the bad guys, using Faster Payments, which just moves money (up to £1M) from one UK bank account to another UK bank account, in theory within one business day in practice typically instantly.

Push Fraud was significantly hampered (~solved?) by requiring that the recipient name field, rather than just being for your own note of who you sent money to (so e.g. "Jenny birthday" or "Fucking Landlord") must closely match the recipient's account name, which as a result of Know Your Customer checks should be a legal name of some sort.

There's a back-and-forth mechanism, so it was at first (presumably got better with practice) harder to pay companies with hard to spell or weirdly punctuated names, but hey, better I can't send money to "Pat Smith" (nope, his name is Matthew and that's Smythe not Smith) than that my £800 000 for a house goes to a crook who sent me an email pretending to be from my lawyers.

Because Faster Payments was a legal requirement, operated by a regulated entity that's ultimately paid for by the banks, it was presumably easier to write a law saying how it needs to be secured, whereas Zelle is a third party unrelated to the banks.
Looks like they are missing the useful "rsync" command from gsutil (Synchronize content of two buckets/directories).
I think people really underappreciate the usefulness of behavior analytics tools.

Remove your nostalgia of the old internet, and it was ridiculously unusable. Things like low contrast texts, really bad button placement, confusing layouts, etc.

Even if you don't personally use something like Hotjar or Crazyegg, we've spent the last several decades learning best practices specifically through these types of tools. Bootstrap or even Tailwind would not exist today without the lessons learned through constant experimentation.

While it's easy enough to steal from prior work, if you make some sort of novel tool or interface and you do not do regular user testing it's going to be a really bad experience.

I'm not saying a more privacy-conscience web can't exist here, but you would either be left with a very hard to use internet, or one that was dominated by a few big players who had the advantage of focus group testing.

Nothing is risk free. As long as the user has a legal copy of the game it is possible. Just look at OpenRCT2. You need to have a legal copy of the game in order to run it.
I'm not arguing any point except that the study data is incomplete.
Average, who can say. Modal, by number of contributions/edits, they absolutely are more motivated than a PhD. They may have spent their life studying a topic but Wikipedia isn't where they're generally going to put it.
Basically, the granting organization doesn't want to pay for the full cost of capital equipment that will - either via time or capacity - not be fully used for that grant.

There are other grant mechanisms for large capital expenditures.

The problem is the thresholds haven't shifted in a long time, so you can easily trigger it with a nice workstation. But then, the budget for a modular NIH R01 was set in 1999, so thats hardly a unique problem.
Why is everyone so pessimistic? I believe that if you, sophacles, had the time, the determination, the money for 10 000 hours of tutoring of a grandmaster, and the mental/emotional/physical okay-being for the time, you could reach a grandmaster level in chess in 10 000 hours. Same for many many areas. (Polgar tried it, for a time his 3 daughters were the 3 best woman chess players, but this doesn't really count since they started very young.)
Yeah, other shell flavors are fine.
Wikipedia certainly has its biases, but I think for school children it is perfectly fine as a source. It's not as if they will read research papers instead, let alone understand the quality of their source.
It is equivalent to following someone around a store and writing down how long they look at each item on the shelves, what they pick up, what they put back, etc.
I didn't work on the integration directly at the time so it's certainly possible some of my details are incorrect. That said, from what I remember of the demos that were given there was the ability to set regions of pages which contained PII that were not collected but this was entirely up to us to configure. Otherwise, it was possible to watch an individual user's full session on the website.

This was years ago too so maybe it has changed since, but my issue is with the whole premise of products like Fullstory that make it possible to essentially watch your user's over their shoulder without being given proper notification that level of monitoring is occurring.
K-mart just got dinged for using facial recognition to track shoppers, they claim for loss prevention.
While language seemed difficult for AI for a while, it now seems to be falling quite rqpidly to recent techniques.

(It reminds me a little of the early years of aviation. In 1901 the US Navy's chief engineer called manned flight a "vain fantasy", & in 1903 the New York Times suggested flying machines would be possible in "one million to 10 million years". But it was accomplished later in 1903, with rapid improvement after that. Things that seem impossible now can become humdrum in a few decades.)

What are the current best results from Marcus, or others using his preferred approaches?
Not really - this is also true for things with no particular "civilian" use.
Right, but that's not how the key is sent in this circumstance...

The US Sensodyne (sans Novamin) or the regular Sensodyne that every one else gets?
This is not a new issue. Philosophers have pondered for centuries about the possibility of a godlike deceiver that is constantly fooling your senses. How can you be sure you aren't plugged into the Matrix right now? Even worse, their arguments against said deceiver are weak, some saying that your own eyeballs can be ultimately trusted, others suggesting that since God is good he wouldn't let it happen.

Ultimately you have to trust in something or it is literally impossible to function. Even if that trust is only in your own senses. In practical terms you have to trust a lot more to function in society. Maybe a good first pass is to trust in things that most other people trust in, so that if there is a deceiver there will be a lot of other people mad with you and a greater chance of not only punishing the deceiver, but detecting them in the first place. You can't fool all of the people all of the time.

Ye, on average. Most people should ideally, in my mind, say "same old, same old" and let the next person speak.

I don't like the concept of dailies, but if there has to be one, three per week is a good deal. I understand how managers would want one in somewhat messy places.
Absolutely. I've had multiple careers, my most recent starting when I was 46. N
Own private for each of those like I do right now…
Here is a simple idea that AFAIK has not been tried.

Limit "External Links" to only websites found in Google Scholar. More specifically, limit them to only academic sources. (Maybe limiting to .edu or country-specific educational TLDs, e.g., ac.uk, etc. is better. I realise Scholar is hardly a reliable filter for non-commercial sources, given Google's incentives. Remember "Knol".)

This could be an option. Maybe an HTTP header sent to Wikipedia:

Academic-Only: on

The way to "fix the quality of article" is to fix the quality of sources. As it stands, Wikipedia can use any source it finds on the web. (Not to say they do in practice.) That can be an extremely low bar.

One can use Wikipedia solely as a path to "External Links" and/or "References". To the extent that articles just take their sentences from References or External Links, any verification needs to be done on the source, not the article. I use Wikipedia as the default search engine in Fennec. On desktop, I search Wikipedia from the command line with a custom script. The forward proxy scrubs the "X-Client-IP" header. Before reading an article, in the event I read the article instead of only using External LInks and references, I always skim the Talk: page.

/me glances at serverless in the title. Man, I would not want to have to technically design anything with you. You can't just say a thing is something and then say "oh well it's not actually but it could've been if I had made it entirely differently." ...

Why even have security? Your solution practically screams for those 30+ people to be taken advantage of.

Just use a different email provider whose procedures align with how you regularly change your phone number.
> Gladwell repeatedly refers to the “10 000-hour rule,” asserting that the key to achieving true expertise in any skill is simply a matter of practicing. It could be the greatest practice myth.

Is everyone who has a rewarding career in an in-demand field actually a 'master' of that field? Seems unlikely.
From the article:

"The new gcloud storage CLI offers significant performance improvements over the existing gsutil ..."

It makes sense to see this comparison because 'gsutil' was relatively poor - we[1] made a decision to deprecate the 'gsutil' binary[2] in our environment in favor of rclone[3] because rclone is better in every way.

We made the same decision for 's3cmd'.

All of that to say:

The biggest question to ask about this is "how does it compare to rclone". I suspect the answer is that authentication and token handling (and things like that) are much better as rclone has a pretty clunky auth workflow for google cloud resources. That is not the case for Amazon resources which behave just as you'd expect them to, with regard to API tokens, and make it hard to justify using any tool other than rclone.

Can't wait until all your crypto disappears because of an off by 1 bug:0 I guess that is the ultimate question - Does crypto actually solve a problem? Or at the very least solve some problems without creating more intractable problems in the process. I definitely remember it being touted as an inflation hedge. How'd that workout? Or that you cannot create more than X amount of Bitcoins - until they split the ledger. It seems like a new scam coin is minted daily - talk about lower barriers to entry. Just the fact that you mention transporting large sums secretly is interesting. There are many Drug Cartels wishing it was easier also.
This. It's got nothing to do with "comfort". I use cloud computing all the time in the rest of my life, but the rest of my life isn't subject to university policies and state regulations.
