Your imaginary deeply pessimistic scenario only highlights the issue: if you have an adversial relationship with science because you don't like the outcomes, then we're stuck on major issues in our society.

Climate science is widely rejected not for its science, rather for its outcomes. Nobody rejects science that improves quality of life though.

You seek truth or you do not. You can't cherry pick the truth or make it go away.

So let's say your scenario plays out. Researchers objectively established that "my people" are cognitively underdeveloped compared to another group.

Well, so what, if that's the truth? If it really is the truth, I'd likely already know that, as I would have experienced it myself. If I were to be a woman (I'm not) I would have experienced that I'm physically weaker than the typical male. The truth is not degrading, just the way you packaged it.

Differences in capabilities are plain to see at every single level. It shouldn't be this controversial. The only controversial part is what you do with it, but if you constantly overcorrect into the utmost cynical scenario, you're blocking all potential progress. Further, it only invites speculation, conspiracy theories and misinformation.

Insights in genetics could drive better health outcomes, investment in education, socio-economic investments, the like.
Great to see XFCE: it’s amazing, so flexible, lightweight and enables so much more than one would expect.

A Reflection on Call-by-Value
That's like saying if a witness says "he had brown hair, that's all I can say", and only one of "the suspects" had brown hair, that's reason to convict him.
When you're prototyping, a package manager can be really convenient, because it lets you try things out really quickly without investing a lot of time. But once you have most things in place you really just want something that will remain stable for a long time.
So why not write something like "accidents happen at a higher rate a night"?
I found having big doc store tables in Postgres became harder to manage as time went by from a people perspective.

E.g. around the 300GB mark I had to constantly remind myself and others to be careful of it because it might have normal relational columns you think are fine to query, but it also has a fat json payload on each row and if you're careless the query planner would basically do a table scan for things you wouldn't expect.

This isn't so much a problem with json in an rdbms but more the false sense of query performance on non-json columns in the same table...after moving it to mongo never had the same problems because people knew not to query it in an unsupported manner.
Do you really think 'continuous maintenance' is an appropriate category for Arch? That hasn't been my experience.

Let me add a few:

- Handover (shared clipboard between devices, continuing tasks on another device)

- AirPlay (both casting and playback control)

- Apps are just self-contained, launchable directories you can copy around, no separate installation step

- Application-centric (as opposed to window-centric) task management

- Tiny things like <Cmd-tab>, keep holding Cmd, click the app to switch to

- Even tinier things, like hold space to move the selection rectangle in the screenshot tool

- Extremely consistent support for all basic keyboard shortcuts like <Cmd-q>, <Cmd-w>, <Cmd-,>, etc, going back all the way to the classic Mac OS

- AppleScript, Shortcuts, (Automator)

- Color management

It's these things I miss on Linux and (Open)BSD the most, not the GUI theme. I actually think the current design (starting with Big Sur) is a huge step backward for accessibility and usability, fortunately this project doesn't blindly copy it.
Slightly related but there is a fake profile of me on Facebook I have been trying to get taken down for months now. It copied my profile picture and added several of my mutual friends. Facebook just keeps saying the profile doesn't violate their guidelines even though my last name is very unique and the profile picture makes it blatantly obvious.
It depends on the business model: freemium towards enterprise are, otherwise not so much.

Also, commercial open source != free. You can't use Docker Desktop commercially without a license and it's not 100% OSS. Many companies use open source-washing as a way to lure customers into yet another proprietary system that dresses itself up as FOSS.

Furthermore, most commercial open source community versions are crippleware hiding useful features behind closed-source, paid-subscription-only offers. And, the CE versions are usually out-of-date and are slow to receive security updates. SugarCRM comes to mind.
The Soviet Union was made up of many countries and many ethnicities. Yet a lot of impressive stuff including winning WW2 is attributed to Russia and Russians. Ukraine is often brought up these days for obvious reasons but there were many countries and even more ethnicities who get overlooked

Ukraine was the second most populous (accounting for 18 percent of the population whole Russia accounted for 51 percent) and contained a lot of the manufacturing plants. It looks like these particular ships were built in Russia (although I don't know where engineers grew up or what their ethnicity was or if they might have hesitated to identify with Russia) but for instance the head of the Soviet space program Korolev was Ukranian (sort of he was born in Ukraine with Ukranian, Russian, Belarusian, etc ancestry and I've seen claims that he claimed both Russian and Ukranian ethnicity/nationality at different times) also take the flagship Moskva that Ukraine sank that was built in Ukraine as well as the recently memed Soviet Treasure Island (which was made by a studio in Kyiv). Often the west identifies something made in the Soviet Union as Russian even if it's not or if it's more complex to assign it to a modern country. Also part of the way that people think about identity of people like Korolev is based on Russia's and Putin's attempt to rehabilitate the atrocities and weaponize nostalgia about the few good bits. Korolev was sent to the Gulag due to fake accusations, some say he died due to physical injuries from that time preventing quick medical treatment.

Worse than that - you can create a LinkedIn job listing under that (unverified) employer.

My last employer got hit by that, and had report the listing to LinkedIn support and wait for them to remove it. Meanwhile the scammer could use to job listing to collect information from targets.
Did that increase your overall throughput? Drag racing pfsense vs OpenBSD on a xeon vmware system shows much less throughput on the OpenBSD system. I'm totally willing to pay the overhead for a more secure system, but I do still have certain performance goals.
The general consensus among astrophysicists is that MOND is not able to reproduce the full range of phenomena we observe, which LCDM does correctly reproduce. I'll just state that first, because the paper you're citing is representing an extremely fringe view in astrophysics.

Looking at this paper, the first thing I notice is that it's not published in one of the standard astrophysics journals. There's probably a reason for that, but let's give it a chance. Next, I see that the introduction is making some very strange statements, like the following:

> However, the MW retains a thin disc despite being much older than its dynamical time of a few hundred Myr [17]. For an early review of work on this problem, we refer the reader to [18]. A possible solution is that disc galaxies have a dominant pressure-supported spheroidal halo, even though such a halo is not observed [19]. The currently conventional solution to the above-mentioned issues is still to design invisible pressure-supported DM halos that surround, dominate, and stabilize galaxy discs [20,21].

Dark matter halos aren't specially "designed" to solve a particular problem - they're an inevitable consequence of LCDM. Not only that, but there's direct observational evidence for them: we can see their gravitational lensing signature. Here you see the same theory - cold dark matter - explaining two very different phenomena: galactic rotation curves and gravitational lensing.

There are many different predictions like this, from very different areas of astrophysics, that are all explained by essentially one assumption - that there is some sort of cold matter that does not interact with light (i.e., it has no charge). That's the strength of the theory.

There have been many modified gravity theories (modified Newtonian gravity, or "MOND," is not a serious theory, because it's not relativistic), but they all have the one or more of the following problems:

1. They mess something up that is very firmly established. For example, they might make gravitational waves propagate at less than the speed of light, when we know (since 2017) that they actually propagate at the speed of light.

2. They are crafted to solve one or two particular problems in astrophysics, but they fail to solve all the other problems that cold dark matter solves.

3. They don't actually predict anything new, beyond what vanilla general relativity predicts. They are essentially such slight modifications of relativity that they're experimentally indistinguishable. Such theories obviously can't solve the dark matter problem (because if they did, they'd be experimentally testable).

Yeah, except you know, barcelona’s traffic is horrible.
YouTube is the only mainstream service where you can watch Disney+, Netflix and legacy media content in one place so long as you know how to search for it ("Full Episode", "Part 1 of", "Sh0w N@me" instead of "Show Name"). Probably the best deal in entertainment if you use it right.
There is zero cognitive dissonance for me. I freely admit to everything you stipulated above in paragraph 1. But none of those statements logically flows to your conclusion, despite how strongly you seem to think they do. Such statements of fact do not implicitly or explicitly compromise the quality of the science and the weight of the evidence for vaccine efficacy, especially when those results are independently verified using multi-source methods.

> The rest of what you shared seems to be relatively shallow narratives you've been trained/programmed to believe for you to then parrot.

What more does this merit than an eye roll? You know nothing about me, but you're telling me all I need to know about you. It's frankly distressing, but such are the times.

"The actual labor costs for the workers are not the issue" How do you know? The article explicitly calls out union labor costs. By "profiteering" are you complaining that someone made a profit because there is nothing in the article to indicate excessive profit.

Union labor is really expensive. It cost my neighbor who is part owner of the SF ferry building wine shop, over $8K to install a TV set because it had to be done with union labor. And get this, he was not allowed to install it himself because of union rules.

I have another neighbor that works as a location scout for movies and commercials. He says all filming in SF has to be done by union workers and its much more expensive than filming outside SF.
I share my US family plan with friends in the UK. Their account would be banned occasionally. So, Google is probably aware of this hack, it's just they are not enforcing it too seriously.

EDIT: they only banned the added family member, not the account owner. My workaround is to just recreate family member account.
father time? time by itself does not explain anything... is the new evidence that happens over time the one that teaches us. We are just doomed to a mostly monotonic growing time function. So we need action not that invitation to sit down and wait for the next time chunk to hit.

I expected the given example to produce assembly that respects short-circuiting, but apparently that's not a requirement. Unoptimized code will have jmps between the conditions, but any optimization at all removes them.

https://cpp.godbolt.org/z/h6sEY8TMz

Always assumed this was a requirement of the language, not "up to the compiler". Perhaps it's only a requirement if the conditions can have side-effects.

Interestingly, every answer in this SO post gets this wrong. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1799072/c-short-circuiti...
That is a very biased sample. Also, my comment was primarily about incidents where another vehicle, typically a car, collides with a motorcycle due to the driver failing to notice the motorcycle. I don't think the factors you're describing here are major drivers of these kinds of collisions.
That's the congressional vote, which suffers from gerrymandering.

There is this moronic obsession with "scaling" in this industry, and it just blows my mind. You can have a wildly successful and profitable company while serving just a few hundred customers that requires nothing more than a basic LAMP stack.

Meanwhile people are now spending millions of dollars and years of person-hours building MVPs in the cloud that won't ever go anywhere because the business model sucks.

Focus on delivering value to your customer first. How you get there is quite literally irrelevant to your customer.
> In this context the Cops, prosecutors and judges all have an ethical duty to the truth. All 3 seem to have forgotten that underlying obligation in the system

Could you clarify: are you referring to every single member of those 3 groups, or just some?

And if it's just some, then roughly speaking, what fraction do you mean, and what evidence supports that?

well, one potential nefarious use of dogs is the parallel construction of evidence that was gathered illegally in some way. That's, I assume, what psychics are for.
Anecdotally, I agree with this approach.

“The Early Days of Id Software: Programming Principles” by John Romero [video]
Cool. My takeaway is this: Instead of sending an RPC call to the network to execute code and change state, code is executed off chain (locally), and the state change is sent to the network with proof that it's valid state. If my thinking is correct, this is pretty awesome. The article was very well written IMO.
It also means that the entirety of their last term is basically consequence-free. Currently a voted-out senator is a lame duck for 2 months; a "last term" senator has 6 unaccountable years to do whatever they want.
>A cuecat was a second keyboard, as far as your computer was concerned.

That's how every USB barcode reader I've used worked too.

While the approach is certainly very compatible, it left configuration of the device's behavior to be very esoteric. If I wanted to change the key sequence that followed, I had to scan these special programming barcodes[1] to alter its behavior... which is something I never got to work.

Janine Pauke has long been an excellent CGI artist and teacher, first with Cinema 4D, and now with Blender. She's released a Blender Crash Course - 2 hours that cover all the Blender basics: https://www.3dfluff.com/video/

I bought a new car and they keep calling and send mail to my house far too frequently.

I've told them NO around a dozen times..

They are bordering on harassment.

Just because you put some receiver in my car doesn't mean you can constantly contact me. I never asked for it and they should take no for an answer.
I’m sure it could but it would be a band-aid.

Want to save lives? High speed motorcycling should simply be illegal.

Low speed two wheel transportation should be limited to 25mph of power assistance and primarily take place in physically separated infrastructure (e.g. bike lanes in The Netherlands).

Any widespread mass usage of motorcycles and motor scooters (e.g. Vietnam) is a failure in city planning. Almost everyone on a scooter in a congested street should be on a train, bus rapid transit, or subway instead.
Humans are terrible at estimating efficacy of something measured in the millions from a (biased) sample size of dozens.
Woah this looks cool! My current (clearly outdated) mental model requires fixed inputs for a zkp, e.g., some fixed view of the chain state, some encrypted inputs, etc... I'm curious to know more how Mina overcomes these limitations.

OTOH, secure enclaves like SGX are convenient since the overhead's not bad, you can run the enclave as a networked service, make HTTPS connections, sample randomness via RDRAND, etc...

Do you think zkapps might have similar capabilities in the future? I'm not sure the analogy works all that well in blockchain land, but perhaps more as a virtual software-only enclave or something?

It's not super clear to me how you would sample private randomness, or perform remote attestation, or prevent replay attacks without a remote trusted storage.

I also remember even the best proof systems seemed to have like 100x prover overhead on CPU + memory usage, but that was a few years ago. Have things gotten better recently?

>"I really struggle to understand how everyone can just go along with it all and forget about everything when the next thing starts."

My worldview is that all of us are far more "in-the-present" than we realize. I sense most people want to help, want to conform with what is seen as serving the greater good, and are willing to follow the lead of what the group seems to be doing. Not only are we overloaded with information, if we aren't being reminded of what "the good guys" did in the past that was either wrong or hypocritical, we won't know to make a fuss of it. Same story with "the bad guys" having done good things in the past.

The most eye opening thing for me was seeing the American political left embrace Liz Cheney while the American political right disavowed her. That flip was unexpected, but it makes perfect sense when it comes to what is immediately expedient.
For me it is the memory of my 5 year old daughter crying and trying to get me away from her mother who I was hurting. Plus realization and memory of a wealth of other fuckups I've been guilty of because of being drunk. But the child's terrified face was the tipping point. I can still see it in my mind. Been sober for 2 years.
Yep, it was just to convert computer graphics into broadcast TV world. Probably powering a bunch of TV stations weather broadcasts for the next decade.
I think your strategy of being "honest" is not bad at all if you're looking to not trip any wire and disqualify from an interview. But if you're looking to land a job that truly aligns with your values and are not desperate to switch jobs, have enough time to look, perhaps being honest would take you further.
In my headcanon Duke is a personified Ouija board planche. Just like the planche is the go-between for the user and the Ouija board, Duke is the go-between for the user and the tablet computer for which Java was originally designed.

It might be a bit of a stretch, but he was originally more than a mascot but a "software agent" through which the user's actions were carried out, a sort of more active version of Clippy.
This is all fair. I genuinely didn’t know Apple developed LLVM, I knew they were heavily involved in early 00’s. Can’t believe I forgot Kubernetes & Angular.

Anyways it’s a hot take, you’re totally right.

There are a lot of factors to consider. This is quite a good overview.

Instinctively I would agree with the blog and say Georgia. Lithuania is a strong option too, especially if it's fintech.

However your most likely failure mode is that no-one uses your SAAS. I would just make it, start operating out of a personal bank account, then worry about registering it and making it official when youre making enough money that a taxman might care.

In my first company I wasted so much time registering trademarks and legal stuff. Really I should have just started selling, realized that the buisness model didn't work and failed faster.
Two companies should not decide what goes in and out of the mobile ecosystem, or we need to stop non-standard and proprietary ecosystems from becoming a social norm and building infrastructure on top of them.
> but because there is many, many red tape around doing anything in SF.

Right, the red tape still exists to this day to allow for grifters to come in who help "expedite" the process for a fee. So it's really the same thing.
I slacked off more in the office, got up from my desk more, walked around more. When I was actually at my desk, I would browse random websites more than I do at home.

There are too many distractions in the office and not enough private offices to work in, for the people who require deep concentration to work. I don't see that changing anytime soon because a private office (with a door) is seen as a perk/privilege for managers who are mostly stuck in meetings anyway, and not for those who need to be able to concentrate.
Not worse that before and, anyway, who cares? This is about making people lives better not improving car traffic. Two goals that, in my opinion, are in opposition.
