There's a difference between the Lufthansa account tweeting out a statement, and a Lufthansa rep, named in the tweet, replying to one user. The reply means that it's hidden from anyone who isn't either following both users (unlikely) or actively seeking it out.

I see this interaction as closer to a customer service phone call where a rep got something wrong, and the only fallout should be that I as one single customer am now misinformed. The amount of checks and balances to ensure that messaging is correct doesn't need too high as it's low risk if one customer is misinformed. Whereas if Lufthansa makes a full statement they should expect all customers to be misinformed, or expect the press to pick it up.

This brings me back to my original point. I don't think the press reported on this well, because this was clearly not an official statement prepared for the press or the audience of all customers, with the level of thinking about it that should go into that sort of thing. It was clearly (to me) an isolated thing. The correct course of action for a journalist would be to confirm with Lufthansa, which appears not to have happened.
How about use all funds to build an interferometer to James Webb?

> how can you even police that? is there security monitoring this or something?

I don’t understand how that applies to an owner. Police and monitor themselves?

Owners cover cars with car insurance, house damage (including from cars and e-bikes) with homeowners insurance. The homeowners insurance policy describes the details and requirements of what’s covered.
> And we pay teachers almost nothing.

That is largely not true, though certainly true in some cases. Teacher salaries are set by the local school district and range from "reasonable" to "not great".

Overall, teachers make about $51,000/year while bachelor's degree holders as a whole make about $59,600/year. Against that, you have to recognize that the teacher pay is for nine months, while the bachelor's degree number is for twelve months. If the typical bachelor's degree holder worked only nine months, one would expect their salary to be about $44,700, considerably less than the typical teacher.

Just something I am curious about, privilege tends to mean an unfair advantage given to a group if I get it right. So how is an Ivy League education a privilege? Doesn’t it require a lot of hard work to get into or finish such school?

> gives you a real tax rate on your cash earnings under 10%

And turns your start-up failing (or firing you) into a financial end game.
> Before you do something like that, always ask yourself: "What if everyone else started doing this?"

No, I don't think so. There is no universality implied in my comment or in the specific practice here. You can make value judgments based on specific circumstances. For example:

* How many people try 'cargo install rg' and have it do the wrong thing? I'd say "probably a lot."

* Is 'rg' on its own something that is a likely useful or desirable name on its own? No, I don't think so.

This doesn't have to mean that everyone should do it for every possible alias of every crate out there. You can say things like "yeah I think it makes sense to squat a name here to improve failure modes for folks."

Other than that, I have squatted a few names before. I don't see anything wrong with the practice in and of itself. It's when it gets abused that it starts to become a problem.
If there is actually no choice, it is the easiest, hardest, and only thing you can do.

My personal experience that activation energy comes from knowledge. The process of finding it can be more unpleasant but not necessarily harder

to put it a different way, the decent to rock bottom is painful but easy. Inflection only occurs when and if someone discovers or internalizes something new.
I'm not sure how it is in Stockholm, but in Norway sometimes we had gym outside in a park instead of inside, so different shoes and clothes. And if there is a school-outing to a museum or a montain hike or the dreaded "skidag", skiday, where the entire school would travel up into the montains and do various snow and ski related activates. So it can be a big deal if you don't know what your kid needs any particular day. I'm born in 2002, so they usualy solved this with notes in our backpacks. I think they now mostly solwe this via SMSes to the parents, if it's not sensitive information.
If the company is not public, there are no dividends. Crazy that stuff like this needs to be explained on a tech site.
Too corrupt as opposed to say, Illinois? I forget the exact numbers now, but something like 6 of the last 12 governors have gone to jail for corruption, most recently Blagojevich. That's just at the top level; there's problems throughout the state... Not saying PR doesn't have problems, just pointing out actual states do, too.
string_view would definitely have been wrong.

std::span did not exist in the Standard at the time std::from_chars was adopted.

An overload that takes std::span would be easy, and harmless. But as std::from_chars is only ever used from within some other abstraction, any benefit would be minimal.
Free software where the user is not the product is not an exception. The number of free dev libraries, Linux software, specialized software like audio plugins (Eg VCVRack, Max4Live, Reaktor, etc) is huge. Maybe in easily commercialized areas like iOS apps the vast majority of free apps monetize users, but outside of that this phrase has far less relevancy.
I shouldn't be annoyed by this, but as a Cantonese speaker I really dislike this name.
Fascinating. I wonder if this much funding will change the incentives to not release models in the future. (A lot of proprietary companies started with the open source promise)

Although this might incentivize more people to create open source models to capture capital. OpenAI went closed-source due to their 1B$ funding by microsoft. Stability showed that they could have made a lot more money by going open source.

Curious how AI models will progress. There are incentives for both open and closed source rn.

>I wonder why would US & Canada go a different way with regards to so many small things (think turn signals on cars being red for american cars as another example)?

In many cases the US were the first to mass-manufacture things to some kind of standard, so the question is really: why did the rest of the world choose a different standard. Often they have a good reason (better design, maybe), but the US also has a good reason for not switching (inertia, existing tooling, people understand the existing standard).

The US was the first place that traffic light and crossing signals were installed. The reason they didn't go with the standard the rest of the world uses is that it didn't exist.
On the other hand when I'm grumbling it's because I want to be left alone.

Let me get this straight.

Because some people are corrupt, you feel no law should apply to you or anyone?

Or... really, I can't come up with any sensible interpretation of what you wrote other than that.

If you ask around people will get nervous and figure out what's going on. Inevitably some will leave -- usually those who are motivated and well qualified.

The ones you want to fire will still be there.

No no, you do it quietly and based on numbers. "Likes" is too subjective and will lead to discrimination lawsuits. Start with highest salary, easiest to replace, and/or middle management.
Looks like they're about to get a chunk of Ye's cash, so it's worth more than zero until the transaction closes.
Highest salary in the $1M-2.9M funding bucket is $750k. Surely that company must be pretty profitable, I can't imagine allocating that high a percentage of your funding to the CEO salary if you're not? It's also in the 6-10 FTE bucket.
There's hard coding strings, and then there's hard-coding sentence fragments.

If you hard code strings, you can't translate at all. If you hard-code sentence structure ("There are " + n + " copies of this book in stock") then you're going to sound like Yoda in a number of languages.

Adjectives are a particularly bad sticking point. Is it a large red book (English), a large book that is red (French), or a book that is large and red? But Verb-Object-Noun order also vary just within first world nations, so even the lame classist/racist/nationalistic excuse of "We don't need their money anyway" doesn't really fly. One of your competitors will be very happy to take Japan's money.
> Being well liked at the expense of truth is kind of how the world works

So there's no way to be well liked unless you tell lies? I don't believe that. I think that's cope for people who aren't well liked to feel morally superior to those who are. It's a form of sour grapes; I didn't want the grapes anyway because they're sour. I didn't want to be popular anyway, because those people are liars.
And they call it "green", despite the fact that it's obviously white.

I agree with you. When I'm in the US I keep scanning for a green light, so it takes me a while to find "the white man" telling me it's OK to cross.
There were problems already before. See those articles from 2016 for example: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/29/french-n...

>269 All procedures were performed in a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) facility at the National

>270 Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories of the Boston University using biosafety protocols

>271 approved by the institutional biosafety committee (IBC).

The fact that they are doing this after the last couple of years is terrible and should make us all start thinking that whole areas of expertise should be severely purged and regulated. But the fact that they are doing it on a BSL3 laboratory rather than a BSL4 makes it even worse.
Sure. But employees pay the costs of these sorts of inconveniences all the time too. Especially in fire-at-will US states.
Great tutorial, by the way!

There is another typo in one of the javascript functions, where you should write "return t;" instead of "return thm;"
Strongly agree that this is a valuable data point. I’d suggest another way of getting at the same thing would be to ask about previous salary; this correlates with age but only somewhat.

Did the $1M salary founders get paid $1M at Google previously? I’d expect there is a quite strong correlation here since it’s much easier to justify to your board/equity in that case.

And just because you’re 50, that doesn’t mean you made it past Senior. Similarly, you could get to Staff+ before 30 if you are exceptional.
Huh - the same author also has https://crates.io/crates/memap and memap2, which explicitly say that they're "squatting to prevent a malicious typo package".

Not sure how to feel about this... on an individual-package level, it seems a sensible enough idea, but if it becomes a widespread practice, the namespace could get really cluttered.
The parent said this

"How about we just go back to not using one big central social communication platform and go back to the spirit of using separate independently owned forums, chatrooms and websites for our little niches and communities to prevent this issue"

Regardless of what the issue is how would being on a smaller forum prevent this?

Community reputation (mostly) works the same as a lack of anonymity, it means your actions are tied to your account (in re twitter) and some extent to your pseudonym.

I'm a furry, furry is a community built around an isolation between our IRL identity and our online one. But the community is tight knit enough that your reputation will follow you around - the identity you created for yourself yes - but still your identity, and if you're too far out of bounds, you get quietly (or loudly) excluded from the mainstream of the community. It largely functions the same way as tying your real name to every online identity.

Now take something like twitter - you start with a karma of say 75, anything less than 100 karma, and your tweets wont show up in searches, anything less than 50 and you start to disappear from timeline - even for followers, anything less than 30, you disappear from lists - effectively this creates an automatic shadow banning system.

But a saving grace, you earn a quarter point of karma just by not having any negative interactions on the site, you could also earn positive karma by upvotes on content.

You could also put some other bounds in there too, like limiting how much positive karma or negative karma a single post could earn, to prevent it from skewing the numbers too much (it should be based on a weighted average of interactions, not just on one tweet that goes viral and the rest of it is low effort shitposting).

Ideally you'd have a cross site 'identity' service that would also carry along a weighted karma score from all of the places you interact, and allow people to see those links - you're still abstracted from your real identity, and you're always welcome to start over again, abandon your account and start from zero, but there is persistent history of your interactions.
Author is Temple Grandin.

Everybody should read "Thinking the Way Animals Do: Unique insights from a person with a singular understanding." https://web.archive.org/web/20210417083222/https://www.grand...

I think she is right.

Everybody should study as much math as possible in school, more than today. But nobody should study math abstractly just to pass exams. They should study more but only at the rate they understand, in a way that they understand.

If everyone would study math 5h/week for 9 years with speed they understand and grok what they learn, some would learn to master only 50% of the math curriculum. Some would master 200%, some even more. But even those who would master only 50% would have better math skills than those who pass all exams but don't undestand.

> anybody can add their own signing key

That's assuming the hardware supports it. I'm imagining a (very likely) world where devices will either no longer support self-generated keys, or where using such keys makes your device unable to access the mobile network or the internet. (The latter sort of device might in theory be buildable, and run Debian just fine, but I don't think it would have enough buyers for a manufacturer to waste money on producing it).

> If not, it's tivoization, and it breaches GPL.

Contracts (and software licences) cannot override the law. If a government wants to ban self-generated keys (and/or make anti-Tivoization clauses unenforceable), then it can easily do so, and make all "Debian phones" either not feel like Debian, or not feel like phones.
As a startup founder myself, I wish I had the luxury of paying myself a modest salary, but until the revenues support it that is how it goes. Even if I had a bunch of VC money, I would definitely feel guilty about paying myself a ton of money. I would still have a huge chunk of founder's stock, so I would pay myself well below market rates.

If I were an outside investor in my startup, I would demand this. If a founder was living high off my dime I would be very worried that they would cut and run the moment the gravy train dried up. Startups run better when all the players have significant 'skin in the game'.
People also act differently when they're free from any risks of the behavior - and this holds true with money, social interactions, whatever.
Absolutely! But I think a factual understanding, to make that decision, is important.

> if your card cannot be processed for whatever obscure reason

That's why I carry at least two (physically _and_ in Apple wallet). One Visa, one Mastercard, one is issued by my credit union, the other by a large bank.

If both Visa and Mastercard are down and both banks are unreachable then there are bigger issues. Connectivity issues where more common when transactions relied on landlines. It's pretty rare now.

I also carry some cash as last ditch backup. Some places may be temporarily not accepting cards.
Controversial opinion:

Don't write tests first. If you're not writing tests, you don't need CI to run tests, and CD isn't safe.

Write tests only:

(a) if the algorithm is so complicated, that you need unit testing to ensure that you're writing it correctly in the first place
(b) if, when, and after you earn revenue from the code

Why would you waste your time proving that something you wrote works, if you don't have product-market fit, and you need to throw it all out next week to try to satisfy the market with something different? Just make sure you have the discipline to go back and actually add edge-to-edge / integration testing after you make the sale, and not go straight to the next feature, leaving the lack of testing as technical debt.

Exactly. And they do not understand that with free speech does not come freedom from consequences.

There are plenty of places with free speech. You can walk outside and start saying some pretty insane stuff right now and people may hate you (consequence) but you are unlikely to have any type of legal consequence.

The social media one gets me the most because even if you do get rid of all moderation it is no secret that there is some algo out there amplifying some voices and not others. And in a way that is just censorship with extra steps.
I agree that comedy and appropriateness aren't necessarily related. That's why I disagree with the rhetoric about making fun of everyone as if that's an acceptable reason to be hurtful and mean. I'm only responding in the belief that "well he's just making fun of them because he makes fun of everyone" is an extremely weak defense for backlash because not everyone is equally appropriate to mock.
>when discussing objective phenomena

This would be a good rule, but there's no objective, especially no objective phenomena.

So what remains is that we can strive to be truthful, while trying not to be hurtful. Assertive communication, I-messages (communicating one's own account, instead of putting the other in focus), studying fallacies and trying to avoid them, things like that.

I'm a bit conflicted on this. It seems to me that higher education is completely broken in the US. Every white collar job requires it, not because you'll learn skills that are needed for the job, but because they've found college grads are more likely to be competent. Apprenticeships are the most obvious solution to the "lemon worker" problem, since companies can decide after the training is done whether they want to keep them. But if the company is losing money during the training they'll just hire the educated prospect unless there's some way to get that money back.

Obviously forcing established employees to pay for unneeded training is just taking advantage of the power employers have in the relationship, but I can see where training that workers pay for can be useful.
At Apple? None whatsoever. It was a surprising fluke that even in the Apple of 1993. It only succeeded because so many people helped. That Apple was beleaguered at the time may have given employees a certain devil-may-care attitude towards their own job security and a willing to cross certain lines to assist us or look the other way.

>We really need to stop repeating this

We really don't, since it's been beautifully illustrated through Google's actions over the years.

My favorite example is Google bragging to it's advertising customers that they were buying a copy of everyone's credit card transaction data, which could be used for ad targeting.

>Google has been able to track your location using Google Maps for a long time. Since 2014, it has used that information to provide advertisers with information on how often people visit their stores. But store visits aren’t purchases, so, as Google said in a blog post on its new service for marketers, it has partnered with “third parties” that give them access to 70 percent of all credit and debit card purchases.
