PM is not product, when they get separated from technical in companies, they're literally product, as a team.

But more importantly, most of the time what happens is these people have 2, maybe 3 years of experience. They've done enough to be able to roughly understand technology, and that experience helps them communicate with the technical side, but in no way shape or form does that mean they would come anywhere close to that 20 year old vet on the development team.

But the flip side isn't true. In companies without that strong delineation between them, it's the 20 year old vet who would be doing what product is doing.

Companies who do this are too compartmentalized and they become extremely slow as a result. It's all in an effort to keep technical from having an outsized influence.
The app is horrible. I use everything in a browser on my phone, no apps. Facebook gives fake "you have messages" and they block you from reading messages and tell you to (install the app)...

My book club moved over to mewe.com, it has chat and calendar. People got tired of facebook censorship and warnings. We just picked up and moved. I get the same updates on twitter for my favorite authors. (I just put authors in a list).

Finally, most of family deleted their facebook accounts and my adult kids don't even use facebook.
NDA for a government job? OK

The US isn't going to be caught off guard by China. What the west has been doing for Ukraine in the last few months in terms of weapons, the US and other countries have been doing for Taiwan over the last few decades:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_US_arms_sales_to_Taiwa...

The latest sale involves adding 60 Harpoon anti-ship missiles to the pile of hundreds they already have.

China will not have an easy time of invading such a well-armed country, and they also have to weigh the non-zero possibility of foreign intervention. It will be a costly endeavor by any measure.

China's best bet is a cultural/political/economic takeover, which will give other countries time to diversify chip manufacturing, as we are currently doing.

More details. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine#Attenuated_2

> Fifty-seven nucleotide substitutions distinguish the attenuated Sabin 1 strain from its virulent parent (the Mahoney serotype), two nucleotide substitutions attenuate the Sabin 2 strain, and 10 substitutions are involved in attenuating the Sabin 3 strain.

> The attenuated poliovirus in the Sabin vaccine replicates very efficiently in the gut, the primary site of infection and replication, but is unable to replicate efficiently within nervous system tissue.

[Note that the injectable polio vaccine uses inactivated ("dead") virus, that is safer but not effective to stop contagion.]
Both of these statements are untrue.

>People don't generally paint in photoshop

EVERYONE uses photoshop in the painting/art world. Seriously, almost everyone. It's the best app for it, and the only reason people use others in my experience is because they're either free or a one-time payment. Or, because they're painting on a tablet, where (the full) photoshop isn't available.

>while ProCreate is about natural-looking brush painting

This is also not true. People use procreate because of the simple UI, nice gestures, tailored to iPads, for a one-off payment - and because its simply just the best option available on iPads. There's no difference in what you can do with brushes, or "naturalness" between them. If anything, photoshop is better at natural-looking brush painting. If you're wanting natural looking brush painting, also check out the lesser-known Rebelle: https://www.escapemotions.com/products/rebelle/about?//produ... - which is designed to more simulate real physical paint, not just in terms of brush patterns but also mixing.
Agreed. I should have clarified in my post, but this is the same exact neighborhood and school. Demographics are roughly the same. And yet walking / biking is now seen as non-viable.

Yes, they use it for retro gaming, and people write new software like web browsers for the C64. It would be nice to be able to repurpose old tablets in a similar fashion.
My entire point was asking whether there is an acceptable use/abuse policy, and providing an anecdote about how there was no policy in place for a similar kind of "hack" that I did.

You're just asserting that there is some kind of policy, without providing any details of it. Since you're arguing from a point of knowledge, it isn't bad faith to ask you about your knowledge of the policy of the unnamed dorm at the unnamed college attended by the unnamed friend.

I don't believe you actually know anything about the policies of the dorm - I think you're just assuming there is some policy, and it was reasonable in 2013.
> So if you delete a tag, there is no way for the database to automatically remove all references to it.

I'm not sure about implementation/support in Postgres specifically, but in the general case of a column of tag bitfields, the database could easily maintain a global popcount (ie, "number of rows with this tag") and soft-delete flag for each tag, and clear any soft-deleted tags on (possibly-only-write-)access. When a soft-deleted tag reaches popcount == zero, it counts as garbage collected and can be reused for a new tag.

Once you get past the fundamentals, avoiding politics in education is impossible. Deciding what is most important to teach students in primary education given limited time is politics. History is nearly all a stitched together story of various politics. It's impossible to avoid politics in Civics if you intend to delve into the intents of why things do or don't exist.

In the two topic examples given, you can avoid politics by avoiding trying to teach the why of social things, but I'd argue then you're not giving a particularly good education.

That's where I'm at - I keep an eye on new releases because I'm a nerd and I like toys. But realistically I'm not going to shell out for them at least until this one stops getting OS updates.

I don't work-work on it, but it does sit beside me all day. Notes, manuals, calls, music etc. Sharing my screen, pulling up a diagram and the pencil is my favourite way to explain things on calls lately. Then I can just shoot them a pdf when we're done to cut out 'n keep.

I see nothing today that changes this for me - just new toys that I look forward to seeing in a few years.
I'd say we need to reject it, refuse to get over it, and demand changes to fix copyright law so that humans and AI don't need to risk violating the law in order to learn things and create new works based on what they've learned from what others created before them.
> It's exceptionally rare that a revolution is about building the new system, it's actually about shifting the power structure.

So it's not about shifting the power structure, it's about shifting the power structure? You can't shift power onto a structure if that structure doesn't exist.

> But I want a solid description of what sort of democratic control could replace the economic system of capitalism, by building it. Until then, incrementally changing but by bit seems like the only feasible way to discover better systems.

The things that were democratic and non-capitalist that we've already had and are losing.

Unions, (functioning non-capital-serving) universities, well managed utilities, co-ops, cohesive communities, public blue-sky science institutions, public mass transit, collective healthcare, mutual aid networks, a functioning commons, libraries, public education.

Moreover, the important bit is not using every bit of economic, military, propaganda, and espionage power available to destroy the more radical experiments that people try in various parts of the world, and then using your own warcrimes as some kind of gotchya against the systems they're trying.
But not in terms of $$$
But I believe at some point air brakes had to be reversed by law.

> Most people are bad at writing.

True, but most people don’t write. ~Everybody reads, and people are, on the whole, supremely atrocious at it.

The problem of writing getting “easier” is trivial compared to the problem of bad reading comprehension.
I write c++ every day. Theres no such thing as "just never use a raw pointer", as existing code will use pointers, libraries become pointers, and there's no "non-owning" equivalent of a unique pointer. Even if there was:

- lifetimes are hard. The core guidelines recommend using span and string view, but correct usage of those isnt straightforward:

std::string_view make(const std::string& in)
{
return in;
}

Is not safe, at all. Span is also super dangerous:

std::vector<int> vec = {1, 2};
std::span<int> sp = vec;
vec.push-back(1);

Lambda capture semantics are another area where you might end up surprised by the behaviour too, (and by surprised, I mean you'll have memory issues).

Then there's all the normal stuff that still exists like slicing, lack of bounds checking, resource leaks because of improper inheritance use, data races, use-after-free issues. Sure these can be caught by a sanitizer with enough effort, but they still exist.
> what’s new?

Increased social and political acceptance of Bitcoin as virtual money? That is a big deal.

> ...all we have is still what we had when Bitcoin launched.

False. In 2009, a very very small minority took it seriously. Now you have Blackrocks of the world getting in that business and SEC approving a Bitcoin ETF. So after Billions and billions of investment, now Crypto is a "serious business". Which is exactly why people in Afghanistan and Venezuela can rely on Bitcoin. They wouldn't have done so in 2009.

Another use case is digital art. Until NFTs, I am not sure how artists made money with their digital collections. Now, the creators of Bored Apes can fetch ~75 ETH (~100K USD)[1] per Ape, even today after the Crypto market has crashed. That is durable value and Crypto has enabled that avenue for artists. If you think NFTs are scam for laundering black money, burden of proof would be on you to make a case about why that is different from traditional paintings. And if you think traditional art too is nothing more than an avenue for money laundering, then... I'd propose we agree to disagree.

Yet another use case is branding. Just look at the adoption of NFTs[2] among top brands like Nike, D&G, Tiffany, Gucci, NFL, NBA, La Liga or Australian Open. If legit businesses and sports leagues are adopting Crypto for branding purposes, that is a resounding proof about the viability of this particular use case.

It's certainly a big time and effort commitment and sometimes you'd rather not, but there's basically nothing in life I care about more than my kids.
And they can, in a moment, give me more joy or fulfillment than I'd find in a week in my pre-kids life.

I'm someone who needs alone time, and it's really hard for me at times, but their wellbeing impacts my wellbeing more than my wellbeing does, they sorta naturally became my #1 priority in life, so anything but taking care of them to the best of my ability simply doesn't make sense to me.

You reaction seems a bit excessive, the entire article is covered with "keeping an open mind", the critical part is that he did, in fact, find it not great. It's pretty far from a "oh look at how disgusting this asian food is".
The analogy to sound synthesis is strange to me. As both a musician whose primary instruments are acoustic guitars and computer software, and as a writer of poetry, prose and essays. I can’t speak to fears of synthesis obsoleting other music performance, mostly what I’ve heard expressed is snobbish purity that it’s not “real”—either real talent, real music, or real performance. But at the end of the day, synthetic instruments are still instruments. Fundamentally a primitive like a string or a reed attached to something which lets you make sound from it. A “simple machine” in the mechanics sense. They’re not composition synthesis, which is definitely an area of exploration now, and which is more akin to image and video synthesis.

Photoshop conceptually sits somewhere between these two extremes of electronically-aided creation, but much closer to sound synthesis, than what the author is hypothesizing. I can’t even think of a text analogy for sound synthesis as you’ve described. The least nonsensical imagined example I can think of is “this word does not exist” (as in word synthesis), which would be more valuable as a game or a gag than as a tool.
I managed to take down arbitrary posts on Hacker News
While I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, I think the antithesis to your argument is that where synthesizers "failed", modern sampling technology has crept in, especially in scoring. It's less common in the feature film industry, but a significant portion of TV and game scores are produced entirely with virtual instruments, or at least have a very heavy sampling component (e.g. recorded solo instrument against a synthetic backing track). Most people can't tell, or don't care - as will most likely be the case with AI-generated or AI-assisted content as it moves forward into various domains.
We saw a huge push to bring the mac near iOS territory (the Mac Store, gatekeeper, catalyst, the new design language etc.) . If Apple could, I bet they'd exchange every new mac for an iPad and effectively gain the tightest control they could ever get of a huge part of the ecosystem.
This is usually because the design of the streets is still terrible, even if there are sidewalks.

There are plenty of streets with sidewalks in the US that are less walkable than sidewalk-less alleys or narrow streets in Japan. Having sidewalks is certainly better than no sidewalks, but there are other variables.

That’s a de-facto standard, so it’s safe to say that, given that all major AP implementations do so, your identity is tied to your homeserver.

The tyranny of the installed base is real. What you choose to ship basically defines what everyone else can do with AP in practice.

I think it’s a shame that Mastodon got a million fuzzy blinky UI features before the (still missing) BYOdomain support, given that everyone in that space links permanent identity to user+domain.

I don’t see that changing. Do you? It seems everyone has settled on this, just like email, and that the solution is to just use a domain that you control for your identity (just like email).

IIRC temperature is proportional to velocity squared so increase in simulation speed will result in squared increase in temperature.

The underlying game is that there is no "WeChat for the West" and Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple, Twitter/Musk/"X" et al want to own that.

It's harder that it seems to figure out what to do - because many orgs don't give PMs enough time to focus on that part of the job.

I think it's great that Rust is safe in that way, where you can have novice programmers write code and you can be pretty sure it won't break anything else.

Underrated insight
I agree, but I don't think that's relevant? So I think my terminology was unclear. By "omicron/delta" I meant a recombinant of the omicron spike with the delta backbone, the one that apparently happened naturally and Derek Lowe describes as the XD strain. By "omicron/Wuhan" I meant a recombinant of the omicron spike with the Wuhan backbone, which these researchers created in their lab (and I don't believe had any opportunity to occur naturally, since the two lineages never existed simultaneously).
Assuming you have a CI suite dedicated to haning all of the above, sure. Meanwhile some of us are staring down the barrel of 30-60 minute compile times for a single configuration. Multiplying that out to compile with ubsan, asan, and running the static analysis tools over it would take probably 5-6x longer, _and_ we likely need to do it all twice to ensure were checking our "shipping" code paths.

It's not feasible to have a developer compile for 3 different platforms in two configurations with and without sanitizers, and core guidelines checkers for every change, and these tools take so long it's a huge cost.
Yes, I think many people’s concern is volatility. Health issues are primary, and can affect your ability to work, and your ability to work affects your ability to provide for the kid(s).

> Our cities have always been built around roads, from the very first day that an American landed on the shores

Roads maybe, but not cars (which of course hadn't even been invented when the America was founded). The US used to have extensive streetcar networks. The dominance of cars is a 20th century phenomenon.
