I'm inclined to agree. I certainly value free speech, but I don't think I would want to run a free speech platform. I think I would want to moderate content in order to cultivate fruitful discussion, which is maybe a kind of censorship in some strict sense, but the motives between moderation and censorship (as we colloquially think of them) are different--moderation says "this isn't productive or respectful" and censorship says "we want to squash discussion of those ideas to the extent we are able". That said, I appreciate that the line is often blurry, and a lot of authoritarian types will censor under the pretense of moderation
Hahahaha so it's illustrated by a triangle with three points of "maoists" (how dated, people are really showing their age), "Nazis", and "liberation"

This is John Birch Society schizotypal stuff, not a definition of "woke".
Rule #1: don't start a business that depends on data owned by some other business.

Rule #1-1: especially if your product adversely affects the other business.

Rule #1-2: especially if the other business is much larger than yours.
Isn't it a bit unfair to paint such a massive group of people with such a harsh generalization? I know plenty of conservatives who don't see anyone as "below" them. That's not to say there aren't conservatives who do this (of course there are inconsiderate jerks among any group that size), but surely you don't think that EVERY conservative is a conservative just because of a hierarchical position attributable to circumstances of birth, none of them achieved anything by their own merit, and that they all view other types of people as "below" them, do you?
I feel the inverse. Joyless “take tasks off the board and wait for more tasks” work is low-creativity and low-engagement work. Allowing people the freedom to not be slaves to the almighty kanban board mitigates burnout because people can actually experience some satisfaction rather than endless grind.
It seems that the current tensions between china and the us around chip is because china is using us chip designs and chip making tools to create population control and surveillance high tech.

If SMIC is really at "7nm" (namely have their own EUV litographer), then it is just a matter of a few years of R&D to reach the "2nm" and they will have homegrown population control and surveillance high tech.
Yeah, I couldn't do Arrested Development either! I just wanted to shout at characters to stop being idiots over and over and over again :)

(Archer for some reason I enjoyed in small portions; I think the clearly surreal fictional overly-exaggerated animated nature turned off some "suspension of disbelief / empathy" switch that most people can turn off with Seinfeld)
I don't think it's an algorithm problem so much as a population/corporate operating problem.

You can't really have a business plan of "all speech is allowed" without attracting a significant number of nazis/racists/anti-Semites. (see, the chans).

Of course, the issue with attracting that group is it causes exactly what happened to you to happen more generally. A reasonable person sees the garbage, says "I don't want to be here" and leaves. Hence the reason you see so many complaints about censorship for platforms that do have a stronger policing.

The nazis have places to talk, but they struggle to get their message in front of a wider non-nazi audience. This is why I'm always fairly dubious about censorship complaints.

Well said!, thank you. Sincere thanks. This kind of perspective is precisely where my mind wandered at the top of the thread. Appreciated.
Remember the saying figures don't lie but liars figure? I'm not saying any of these researchers had any malfeasance, but imagine if they did? You can see how easy it is to use "analysis" to say anything you want. The key takeaway is don't don't just look at the results of the analysis, look at the data and how they analyzed it.

Anyone under such a contract should start taking very loudly about forming a union and observe that they are soon released from their contract. Encouraging everyone to talk about their salaries might also help.

Yup, attempting to re-implement indentured servitude is accurate.

And then managers wonder why phenomena arise like "Quiet Quitting" and "Let It Rot".

Evidently, very few people think past the intended results of their actions to the secondary or knock-on effects, which can be far more significant.
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Ira Glass:

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, and I really wish somebody had told this to me.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But it's like there is this gap. For the first couple years that you're making stuff, what you're making isn't so good. It’s not that great. It’s trying to be good, it has ambition to be good, but it’s not that good.

But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is good enough that you can tell that what you're making is kind of a disappointment to you. A lot of people never get past that phase. They quit.

Everybody I know who does interesting, creative work they went through years where they had really good taste and they could tell that what they were making wasn't as good as they wanted it to be. They knew it fell short. Everybody goes through that.

And if you are just starting out or if you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Do a huge volume of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week or every month you know you're going to finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you're going to catch up and close that gap. And the work you're making will be as good as your ambitions.

I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It takes awhile. It’s gonna take you a while. It’s normal to take a while. You just have to fight your way through that.
In that case, perhaps boost his career and revenue? Are celebrities willing to strive for immortality at great expense? It's hard for me to get into a celebrities head.

> In case of losing weight, it very much does. You don't even need to do anything, you need to not eat (as much). Given high heritability of obesity it may very well be that some genetic configurations make it harder to stop eating. Plenty of studies show that most fail at dieting. Statistically speaking, it may be impossible to lose weight for most. So if you don't believe in even soft free will, you may as well conclude it is in fact impossible for these people to lose weight.

That's way too much black and white thinking. It's pretty safe to say most obese people would like to lose weight. They just don't want to sacrifice the things they are doing, either consciously or subconsciously. This is orthogonal to free will. What you are talking about is the whether the conscious mind can win over the subconscious mind. That's called discipline. Not free will.
No, This is incorrect
ok, the pilot example mentioned elsewhere is a good one i think, but i still don't think it is fair to just put the employee in debt, and i think a ban on the practice could help to resolve the problem in other ways.

for example, if pilot training costs $100,000, and a pilot is expected to stay for 5 years, then essentially each year pays off $20,000.
if a pilot quits before the training is paid off, then how about an industry agreement that the new employer continues the payment?

so basically, if an airline doesn't want to pay for the training, they can only hire pilots that have the training already paid off. if they want to hire someone fresher, they will simply have to take that into account. it's almost like paying for insurance. the only difference is that this only has to be paid until the full cost is paid off.

and if the pilot doesn't find a new job or changes industries, then that's just a risk the employer has to take.

in germany the practice appears to be that the cost for the training is deducted from you salary like you pay back a loan. i see no problem there to transfer that loan to a new job, because that's simply what it is. you just continue paying.

if an employer decided to gift that loan to you they can do the same, while you work there the employer pays back the loan without deducting it from your salary. if you switch jobs, the new employer can continue paying the loan, or not. but in either case you know from the beginning that there is a loan to be paid, and the payback terms are reasonable.
Actually not sure of the law here myself but FWIW as a NYC resident I regularly encounter places that don't accept cash.

This is really a story about a celebrity's mental illness and public breakdown. If you haven't been following the news, West has spent the week saying increasingly unhinged things, not just about politics but about Pete Davidson, his wife, and (if I'm remembering right) his kids and the fake actor children that have been installed in his former home to corrupt them. He was interviewed for a show on Fox and a big chunk of what he said was edited out and later leaked; the "people at the Gap" knew about Uvalde, Kanye is now a Black Hebrew Israelite, &c. He's quite evidently sick, and these Parler people are scamming him.
My understanding is that they're able to keep operating by selling more stock and by paying officers in stock. Uber would die if the stock price drops enough that it can't get enough cash to keep operating through those things.
1. People who are desperate do what needs to be done. Unlike corporations, humans feel pain.

2. People aren’t perfect. Does everyone know what they’re getting into? Do they know beforehand what kind of salary they’ll get from the company before training? Do they also know how competitive that salary is? Or how good the company is? Maybe it’s the most toxic company ever but is able to hide its negative footprints online.

You're correct. Buying a powerball ticket doesn't measurably change your chance of winning.

But you're using an argument based in mathematics to try and convince people who either don't understand or understand but choose to ignore it. In essence, the facts you've chosen to present aren't relevant to convincing those individuals.
All they need to do is license their logistics software and they will be extremely profitable.
You can track where a bill was distributed, what bank it came from, who withdrew that cash, but past that you can't track any of the transactions that happen. The transactions being tracked is the important part here.

Not sure whats your point, german army was brutal in their eastern campaign, mowing down whole villages, kids, elderly, women, everybody. In my own country they razed few villages completely to the ground, gathered most people in the town church (biggest tallest building in whole village) and burned them alive (thats hundreds each time), the rest went to concentration camps. These are historical facts, maybe a bit blurry if your lineage didn't have literal skin in the 'game'.

The fact that russians are trying to recruit lowlife in prisons (there are videos of wagner group speaking in prison yard that even murderers will be let free after 6 months of service in Ukraine) supports cruelty accusation. As do thousands of Ukrainian civilians from freed territories.

There is no shortage of stories of ie Ukrainian teachers being tortured badly for refusing to teach russian language in schools, and generally civilians witnessing executions, which explain the mass graves of executed hand-tied civilians that are being found so frequently after russians move away. Heck, there are videos like from early invasion where russians set up post next to some main road, and deciding just for fun to shoot on every single civilian car passing through, killing many, even injuring one other russian soldier.

Does it mean that every single russian soldier on Ukraine is a cruel primitive beast? Obviously no, but places like Bucha and many many many others show how russian army behaves. You can decide to think that all is a conspiracy, but there are simply too many proofs of contrary, coming from all directions, constantly. And they confirm the experience of tens of millions subjected to russian/soviet mistreatment in past decades in many other places, including my own home country. In russia, human life has little value. It doesn't matter if you are foreigner, another slav, heck another russian. Cannon fodder, obstacle to power.
This seems like some kind of overflow problem, but 2^32 milliseconds is 49.7 days. Is it possible that the 51 day number came from a combination of rounding and an off-by-one error in the reporting?
I'm not sure this is the forum for capital lols, but to answer your question:

> how do you determine what price is fair?

Well that comes down to you, doesn't it? Would you buy a litre of milk for $10? $5? $3? $2? $1? What about if you were buying some sterling to come and visit us here in the sunny UK, what exchange rate would you say is fair? £0.50? £0.75? £0.80? £0.85? What about if I was selling you a kg of Palladium, would you pay $100,000? $90,000? $70,000? [Assumed dollar currency but arbitrary to the point.]

That last question may be harder to answer without a google, as you might find it hard to determine what price is fair. If you can't determine the fair price for something you're buying, the question should be whether you should be buying it at all.

> You have reiterated a common crypto fallacy --- that blockchain accounting somehow makes the overall system "trustless". Nothing could be further from the truth.

It seems to me that you're having an adverse reaction to my comment, so I won't address the final two lines.
Five seconds seems roughly how long it would take for really bad choices to cause an accident. In heavy traffic you can cause an accident by steering into a car in under a second. I am sure someone has had two independent accidents in under a minute.

An hour on the other hand is completely arbitrary, why not a day or a minute?

Then you haven't been paying attention.

The Democratic Party has advanced actual legislative agendas, tried to govern, and supports democracy.

The Republican Party has openly stated their goal to "make Obama a one-term president", frustrate Democratic legislation simply because it is Democratic legislation, and is actively working to subvert democracy and both prevent and overthrow the results of free and fair elections.

If you genuinely can't tell the difference between these things in 2022, either you have been living under a rock, or you are refusing to see what's objectively clear because it upsets your worldview.
Puertoricans are American citizens by name only - they can’t vote, for example. It’s a colony, and US treats it as such - it doesn’t enjoy the privileges of actual US territory.

If you want to help, becoming a proper, independent country could be a good start. The majority of citizens opposes the current colonial status, as evidenced by several referendums, but, well, it’s not theirs to decide - because they are just a colony and aren’t allowed to vote.
My Amiga 4000 booted right into VideoToaster. So it took me a couple of months before I really started messing with stuff in Workbench. Turns out, the used machine we bought to run our post production studio, had Directory Opus, Deluxe Paint, a coax NIC, multiple HDs. Our HD failed at one point and we found ourselves trying to reload the Toaster software from our box of floppy disks. One of the last disks was hosed so we had to drive hours to another city where a guy agreed to reload the software from another set of disks... if we gave him our NIC. We never got any of the other software back since we didn't have the original boxes.
Your post is spot on. I think my parents called it 'dream tax'. Looking back, I am inclined to agree.
> when doing range scan query

Yes, but probably not initially. The design supports them, it’s just not very pressing to implement since most users today use hash partitioners. There will be a lot of avenues in which to improve transactions after they are delivered and it is hard to predict what will get the investment when.

Proper global indexes are likely to follow on the heels of transactions, as they solve most of the problem. Though transactions being one-shot and needing to declare partition-keys upfront means there’s some optimistic concurrency control required. Interactive transactions supporting pessimistic concurrency and without needing to declare the involved keys will also hopefully follow, at which point indexes are very trivial, but the same caveat as above applies.
That video doesn't even mention pedestrians or bicyclists? Just car headlights?
> Is this hypothesis completely incorrect then?

Pretty much yes. A local taxi services usually pays for their drivers and a few dispatchers. In my city they'd even introduced basic mobile apps around the same time Uber popped up. There's not really many places for money to go to waste.

Uber removes the dispatcher and then introduces software engineers, translators, product managers, SREs, executives, scrum masters, marketing, sales, etc.

From a customer perspective Uber is often worse as well. Pre-booking simply doesn't work. A traditional taxi company will make sure they have someone available at the right time for the booking. Uber just hopes someone will be available 30 minutes beforehand. Uber also doesn't seem to make it obvious to the driver that it's a pre-booking as they often show up 15 minutes early and angry that I'm not ready for them.
Call me skeptical of any assumed ill intentions as $625,000 is not a big enough chunk of change to convince me that there is some form of grift going on here, as there's millions to be made elsewhere grifting crypto.
Yeah, this was what I was trying to understand. This makes it sound like the app could be a daily listing of flights they need to work. Is that all it is?
Kanye's apparently been hanging out with conservative pundit Candace Owens (the two wore matching "White Lives Matter" shirts at his recent fashion show, she's evidently been acting as his publicity agent, and he repeated several of her talking points about George Floyd on his Drink Champs interview); Owens' husband, George Farmer, is CEO of Parler. So there appear to be some interesting interpersonal entanglements here that are possibly driving this decision.

> Who says they survive cold winter climates?

Anyone who put even a minute of effort into looking up the well-researched and publicly available information on the topic rather than defaulting to ignorance could have told you this.

Insects have numerous different strategies to make it through cold winters, either as eggs, larvae, or adults. Some can tolerate partial freezing, some lower the freezing temperature of their bodies in order not to freeze at subzero temperatures. These are combined with finding shelter inside tree stumps or bark, under leaves or rocks, or even underwater, granting them a layer of insulation and protection from the wind and the worst cold.

Here's a good starting point for those interested https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insect_winter_ecology#Cold_tol...
If your boss asks for a meeting at 3:00pm and you’ve got another meeting at the same time with the other company, you should have no problem saying “I’ve got a conflict with my other job” if there is indeed no problem here. If you lie and say “I need to pick up my kid” or something else then this is an indication something is wrong.

AKA 'cancel culture' or 'political correctness gone mad'. I would glibly define it as 'high-stakes competitive virtue signaling by expressing empathy or acknowledging historic injustices harder than your rivals'.
Also, the fact that Russia is refusing to sell gas to the EU because of its support for Ukraine rather undermines this point. (I think it's the EU that should be refusing to buy gas from Russia in order to stop funding the Russian war machine, but it's interesting that both sides don't want to trade right now.)

If Russia really wanted to prevent Ukraine or the EU from having access to resources in Donbas or Crimea, shouldn't they be using their current control over those areas to ruin/destroy those resources or make them harder to access?

It's done by some people intentionally to be offensive, and it's impossible to tell if someone doing it is doing it as an insult or out of ignorance. And, believe it or not, there's enough people out there that do it intentionally that assuming ignorance would be incorrect more often than it'd be correct
How this company cannot make money is beyond me. Surely developer accounts on Apple and Android can't be this expensive right? Billing is easy as all the drivers are freelancing. You could easily run this service with only a few teams.

It sounds like you're using the intuition of a person who hasn't captured a major portion of the rental market. You're going so far as telling me that property managers wouldn't do what the people involved with the company say they're doing. Needless to say, I'm not convinced.
