You're right, but I would avoid the phrase "devil's advocate" because it often indicates something armchair "I want to argue just to argue" is coming next, not something more nuanced. I just mention this because at the root of what you're talking about is psychological priming and we should be aware of it when learning how to communicate better. I think people are ignoring the arguments of the other sides and frequently talking past one another because of this priming effect. Since communication has a substantial amount of implicit information being passed (a lot more than we give it credit for) this priming can make us make faulty assumptions about another's positions.

To bring up another very clear example of people talking past one another is whenever anyone discusses "capitalism" or "socialism", as the two main groups are typically using different definitions for each word. While one may recognize this, neither is willing to discuss with a more unified definition or listen to the other's arguments under the definition that they are using. Which breaks down communication.

After all, communication is in 3 parts: 1) what you intend to say (the idea in your head), 2) what you actually say (the thought embedded/encoded into language), 3) what is head (the language decoded into the listener's brain). The system is highly noisy at each step and assumptions are made by our minds in attempts to extract the signal from the noise. But this is probably just fancier language to explain the concept of good faith.

There is some amount of the science itself being inconclusive, as no one has really studied things like "how likely is it for DNA that matches X's to n% precision to be in a location Y given that X has/has not visited that location".

Even discounting intentional placement of evidence, we really don't know how likely it is to find pieces of your DNA in places near to those you frequent - say, in the lobby or elevator or first floor of an apartment building you pass by every day, but have never entered. This is especially important given partial matches, since it's likely thousands of people pass by a building each day that have never made it inside - so the chances of an accidental match increase greatly (while also being guaranteed to match corroborating evidence, such as security cameras seeing you next to that building on the day of).

Conversely, we also don't know how likely it is that you can avoid leaving your DNA in a place you have visited to commit a crime.

Now sure, there are cases like "we found a large smear of blood, all of it containing DNA that matches this suspect 99%, and the suspect has an obvious open wound/scab"; or, the same smear containing DNA that only weakly matches the suspect or the victim or any known eye witness, which is extremly good evidence that someone else was at the scene.

But when one hair or bit of spit is found in an apartment that matches someone who does live around that area, we don't really know if that means anything.
when talking about mistrust, lying politicians are a fair target. There has been a lot of that going around this pandemic. If the argument is that the politicians lied but the CDC, WHO and other bodies did not... well I don't know what to tell you, they definitely did get caught lying. repeatedly.

Good read. This is the craziest part:

Meta’s VP of the Metaverse, Vishal Shah, castigates his employees for not using the Metaverse often enough. “For many of us, we don’t spend that much time in Horizon and our dogfooding dashboards show this pretty clearly,” he writes. “Why is that?

Having these communities google searchable is actually a really cool feature. I don't understand why companies create "open" communities (that are mostly dead anyway) and everything talked about in there is not indexed at all.

That is horrible for the actual users, even more so if you go with the free Slack option which only gives you access to 90 days of messaging history. How can you find discussions about specific topics if it's not really searchable.

Managing conversation at large scale has been done. Remember "old" forums/bulletin boards that were really popular in the early 2000's? They actually were communities, even though some were rather toxic. They were searchable. Discussions happened naturally.

Anyway, wish you the best for your project!

> My experience led to me oversimplifying the argument to make a point, but it's definitely more nuanced.

I'm finding that as information is becoming increasingly accessible that this seems to be becoming more common: oversimplification. Maybe this is through attempts to understand more about our world but not having enough time to learn the nuance. Maybe willful ignorance. Maybe the disseminators of knowledge are bad (quality) or bad actors. Probably all the above and more. But I do know that there are plenty who use these concepts to deceive us. It is easy to see that authoritarian powers love to overly simplify concepts and create hard boundaries: defining good and evil. I do think the cure to this is encouraging nuanced discussions. But the cure is much harder to take than the poison. So I'm not sure if there's a better solution.

Unless your user count is very small, you have to deal with Apple for iOS. There's limited ability to push apps outside the appstore, but you're not supposed to use it to bypass the store for unaffiliated users and Apple will figure it out, and you're likely not big enough for them to care about fallout from just banning you entirely.

For Android, you can offer direct apk downloads, but you also should try to stay in play. Depending on your market, some % of users will be willing to do a direct download, but likely a majority won't.

Also, Google has 'Play Protect' which will prompt users to remove apps they flag as malware --- if their store review process doesn't like your app, Play Protect might not either.
That sounds more asshole than anal.
Please tell me it wasn't Hyrum himself who made an observation that many people have made over time (even citing some of them), then called it a "law", named it after himself, and bought the domain name for it.

EDIT: Upon re-reading it, I'm seeing that Hyrum gave this Titus Winters guy (who I've never heard of), also at Google, credit for giving credit to him. ...what an impressive density of greatness over there.
All this argument proves is that model it doesn't contain lossless full size byte perfect copies of all the image. And that's assuming all those 100GB of are images are unique with no common data. Copying 2% of those images or maybe 8% at 50% width would still be a problem.Just the difference between high and low quality JPG compression can easily make 10x size difference. You can start to see visible artifacts at that compression levels, but I wouldn't try to convince a movie studio that badly compressed version of their movie doesn't count as copyright infringement.
That's fair, I probably should've said "might thrive". That said, I've seen some impressive feats of cutting through the red tape or stepping up in areas outside one's expertise to get their project delivered. Those tended to be the folks with impressive career trajectories. But luck certainly played a factor as well.
Yeah I agree, the user experience/convinience via the App Store vs Sideloading is like 10x better.

I don't think user facing programs needs to be hermetic. If you want to limit behavior of a software there's always AppArmor and SELinux.

Trying to make a set of applications can't interact on an (desktop) environment which built on the promise of cooperation and inter-application communication is backwards from my perspective.

I understand that the browser is a significant vector for attacks, but there are other and more elegant ways to counter these attacks, and these can be layered from application itself to kernel and to hardware. This layered approach is more integrated, universal and applicable to a broader surface area in the OS and application stack.

<rant> Romanticizing isolation and immutability, trying to apply it everywhere in the software stack is a big step backwards in usability and productivity. These technologies are useful in some (and mostly in) server/service scenarios. Trying to apply these principles to everywhere is akin to only having a hammer and seeing everything as a nail. Just because they're easy, they're not the correct and best solution for anything and everything. Maybe we shouldn't be that lazy and try to create more useful and transparent user sandboxes built on cgroups, SELinux and AppArmor, and works with the package managers or traditional distro layouts seamlessly. </rant>

I agree - you need a dev environment to do your job. That said, I worked at a place where the AWS dev accounts cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a month - I don't know how many employees were outsourced but no one wanted to pay for the extra uptime of the environments for them.
Good point. Arguing about who or what to point the finger at for SARS-CoV-2 seems more like politics than epidemiology. The evidence of a laboratory source is unclear enough, and the chance of a natural source plausible enough, that I'm not sure how the cost/benefit is supposed to work out here.

Not to mention if your goal is just to point out the ethical lapses of the Chinese government, you don't really need any extra ammunition.
I think the way in which we prevent lab made viruses to break free is fundamentally different from how prevention of a spill over would need to be done. Because it causes problems at the exact opposite ends of the chain of events. The first couldn't be more detached and isolated from nature, while the other happens if hygience and mixing of species is sloppily disregarded. This is a challenge if both sites are right next to each other of course.

Hasn't this nonsense been thoroughly debunked by multiple studies at this point? I would assume evidence and "modern thinking" supports the exact opposite of what you claim, unless by modern thinking you mean the same thinking that tries to hide research they don't like.

The actual current practice of blood spatter analysis is to the physics of blood splatters roughly what astrology is to the physics of the movement of stars and planets.

Could there be an astronomy equivalent for blood spatter analysis? In principle yes, but it doesn't exist yet.

Could the current astrology sometimes shed real light? In some cases yes, just like even an astrologer can tell you something true about where Mercury is likely to be on the sky tomorrow. But the vast majority of the claims of current experts are going to make claims a lot stronger than that.

And just like most astrologers, they will make those claims based on what they want to be true, or what they think you want to be true, not on what the evidence tells them.
> So your assumption is that most to all defects are language related

What does that even mean?

> I will bet the farm your defect rate will remain the same without any actual validation of what people write.

In what sense is a typechecker (or the rust borrow checker) not "actual validation", but a static analyser is?

> Plenty of errors due to language quirks but lots of times I see missing statements, fixed values which should be variable, input checking failures due to unknown input, incorrect assumptions and lots of non language gelated bugs

Most of those sound like type errors to me. Errors where the program isn't doing what the programmer thought it should can generally be avoided by using more precise types. (The more insidious case is where the program is doing exactly what the programmer thought it should, but they've misunderstood the specification or not thought through the implications - but no kind of testing can catch that kind of bug).
This is nothing more impressive than the horoscope in the newspaper. It's a cold read and people will always fall for it because they believe what they want to hear.

>Do you happen to know of a licence that has anything like a "can only be used for the benefit of humanity" clause?

A terrible idea for a number of reasons (in terms of legal enforceability, unintended side effects, and more). The following two articles do a good job of explaining why such a license really isn't practical:

But… they did. It effectively keeps most of the vaccinated out of the ICU.

> 4 in 5 COVID-19 patients in intensive care are not vaccinated against the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The chance that a fully vaccinated person will end up in ICU due to COVID-19 is 33 times lower than for a non-vaccinated person. : https://www.rivm.nl/en/news/4-in-5-covid-19-patients-in-icu-...

> Nearly all teenagers admitted to intensive care units because of COVID-19 were unvaccinated : https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/2022011...

> n this cross-sectional study of US adults hospitalized with COVID-19 during January 2022 to April 2022 (during Omicron variant predominance), COVID-19-associated hospitalization rates were 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated persons and 2.5 times higher in vaccinated persons with no booster dose, respectively, compared with those who had received a booster dose. Compared with unvaccinated hospitalized persons, vaccinated hospitalized persons were more likely to be older and have more underlying medical conditions. : https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

And I could link up a dozen similar studies and reports that all say the same thing: the risks from vaccination are low, the risks from Covid are an order of magnitude greater.

You have made this fraudulent claim twice. Along with, it appears, promoting a conspiracy theory that renegade researchers developed it as a bio weapon. You are, in my opinion, a terrible person, worthy of condemnation and dismissal.
I see your point, but i intentionally worded it that way. In this dystopian hell we are heading towards everything is upside down. Privacy is frowned upon - because why worry if you have nothing to hide? The government and corporations know and want what’s best for you and in doing so you must reveal everything to these benevolent all loving all knowing entities. Our hell is their heaven. And although i do want a solution to the problems they claim to solve i do worry that we might achieve the opposite.
It's weird to see genres come and go. Back then it felt like there was a "Tycoon" game for almost everything (well, most of them were fairly terrible, but still...).

TTD was always closer to my heart though really, that and the original Zoo Tycoon. I almost wish there'd be something like this for Zoo Tycoon, while Planet Zoo has some really nice attention to detail with the animals the level of design tuning you can do with scenery / buildings feels a bit overwhelming.
