> The Supreme Court is set to hear a case that says that states have zero requirement to follow their citizens wishes and that the ruling executive can cast that states electoral votes any way they want, without any consequence.

Yes, they are. Good thing, too. We need a clear ruling that this kind of nonsense is illegal before 2024.

In fact, I think the Supreme Court is violating normal rules to take this case. Normally, they only will take a case after the actions have occurred, rather than rule on a hypothetical. This one is likely enough under current circumstances that they went ahead and took it.

> And the current Supreme Court has all but telegraphed that it will rule in favor of the state, saying that that Governor is perfectly allowed to do so.

That's where I'm calling BS. One, I've not seen anything that indicates that they have telegraphed any such thing. Two, even legal experts routinely are wrong when they say which way the court is "leaning".
So this is not a problem I've solved yet. But I think the solution would involve a mix of community voting and good sorting algorithms.

I think most of us can get away with being sloppier than that.

I like the simple structure of the Linux git commits. They start with a scope, which is how the directories in the repository are organized. I would rather spend effort on coming up with proper scopes instead of categorizing commits into types. Individual commits are often part of a bigger story, so such categorization is not even that useful.

I figured the name was a pun on differential dataflow, and the readme seems to agree. Differential dataflow is a framework for doing "dynamic" computations by modelling them as dataflow with diffs of values rather than values flowing between nodes. The main user, materialize, has bags of tuples on most nodes and diffs are then tulles and the change to their counts. Differential data flow has a system called timely dataflow at its core and timely dataflow sends timestamp-like metadata with values to allow loops and for the output of the dynamic computation to be internally consistent
Good point. But what makes studying these functions interesting? Like what key theorems govern this class of functions?
It's not even necessity a "bad" device. Sometimes circuit designers add a DC blocking capacitor on an input to avoid damage to the equipment (especially in an high powered analog amp you might want to avoid feeding DC into the speaker).

The digital domain is much more forgiving; reason why I preach going all-digital up until I2S into the class-d amp IC :)
(No, I don't do that at home due to lack of available equipment - I'm still fully analog after the DSP/DAC combo).

I’m not myself sensitive to the particular word “just”, but I do understand why many people find it counterproductive in many kinds of usage. Your examples are probably among the more benign: in the first, it seems a clear cut resolution; the latter usage is superfluous and has the same meaning without “just”.

But your attitude is exactly what many people find objectionable. People who are fit, but who may be dealing with something more challenging than you understand, don’t benefit from input dismissing the challenge. More than that, dismissive and demanding, commanding or ignorantly prescriptive input can be a mental and often emotional tax that undermines actually facing the challenge at issue.

A lot of times people will do much better at facing their particular challenges if you just let them find their way, or even if you just defer to how they want you to help (if they even do). This really isn’t so much about the word “just” other than its exemplary utility in getting this dynamic wrong.

> doesn't hurt anyone else

If this is actually true then clearly there's no need to apologize. However if I've selfishly imposed a one-sided conversation on someone else in order to soothe myself, of course it's correct to apologize. Who enjoys participating in a one-sided conversation? Most people tolerate them out of sheer politeness.

The whole idea of good manners is to avoid imposing on other people, be that physically, emotionally, or conversationally.

As it should. The problems that affect LA County are vastly different than RI - we should never cater the Federal to local aims.

Recently I got into a political argument with family. They started it by talking about a school district policy in a school district 2,000 miles away. Things were said I wanted to challenge and so I got involved in the argument. Only afterwards did I realize how strange it was for us to be arguing about the policies of a high school 2,000 miles away. So you're right in that regard, most of what we think and argue about is far from our sphere.

I decided in any future arguments like that I want to clearly establish whether we're arguing over a general principle or specifics. Otherwise it's too easy for the conversation to wander between the two. And again, I'm not concerned about the specifics of some distant state, though I may have beliefs about general principles.

This makes it seems like they are at least given a fair slice of the aggregate bandwidth, just a smaller fraction than a prioritized user would get. If it was truly deprioritized you might get 0 bandwidth if the channel was already full with prioritized traffic. That might actually be the case, but that's much worse than just lower speeds.

Good point, and it very much depends on the pre-existing relationship with a manager, along with the context where a statement is given. I could imagine pulling aside a coworker and quietly telling them that they're about to hear about a new project, but that volunteering to work on it would be a dead-end and a career-limiting move. Something in private, informative for an upcoming choice, not a judgment of ongoing projects.

That said, the context of the article, calling somebody out in a public setting based on a large amount of work that they just presented on, is very much the opposite of that hypothetical context.
Presumably, the verification process would involve a cost that Musk would rather not incur. The incentive to pay for it is still there — it creates a veneer of authenticity, even if there's no substance behind it.
Maybe you're right, I'm not sure.
I'm rather growing to dislike this therapy as it just separates two parts of the brain, effectively, which can provide temporary relief while allowing for the mutual information drift between them to grow, which further can exacerbate the internal fragmentation experienced in trauma survivors. DID already has this kind of soft separation as a coping mechanism, and much of therapy is oriented in stabilizing, then undoing the block.

I guess I'm biased but I very much lean towards methods that force interconnection while providing emotional pain numbing/relief (Ketamine), or more high-flying methods that force the brain to a higher temporary state of functional connectivity and by some of the consequences of massively increased entropy, chip away at the problem.

I guess the other part is that seems to be soft form of the conservation of energy when it comes to the information of grief and grief processing. Unprocessed grief has to go somewhere and oftentimes it's where you'll see people after a few decades completely break down from the overload (and in the years it takes to decompress and manually process the grief -- Pete Walker is one expert that I refer to who's pretty well-respected all around).

I guess it's up to one's belief as to whether the neuron group on the other side of the ganglion nerve block is conscious enough to suffer. I've had enough experience with DID persons to be extraordinarily uncomfortable with any kind of extended "walling off" strategy, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant on the surface that part of the brain may be.
> It is easy to be right.

It's easier to be wrong.

In the article, the management team had already failed to do their jobs.

They had already failed to notice (or ignored) obvious problems, and the company clearly had a culture that discouraged raising or acknowledging such issues.

They also had failed to work with the client to establish a complete set of requirements - 9 months before the end of a multi-year project.

> It was not viable. Unacceptable.

The option that they suggested, letting the project slip, was a significantly more viable option than what they actually took.

Re-evaluating the requirements and coming up with a viable subset of deliverables would also have been a sane choice.

But since the company had no intention of letting the client know they were having trouble, sane solutions were banned from the table.

>Based on what you said, it implies that well-being drops as a time-dependent function.

No, sorry, that was not my intent at all. My point was to get you out of thinking of well-being as a purely psychological phenomenon.

Dead people have no well-being at all. Many advances improve our well-being in an objective sense by keeping more of us alive longer. This is not a psychological effect.

And there is definitely survivorship bias. When you survey people about their psychological state, you only survey the ones who aren't too dead to respond.

> One question that might be too early to answer is: Why was there a liquidity crunch in the first place? ... The simplest way to run the business is to take deposits from customers, buy crypto for the customers, keep everything segregated, and make money on commissions. ...

This is the only question, because it feeds into all of the other questions.

My prediction is that this deal isn't going anywhere. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And Binance is in no position to know how many skeletons are in the closets. The last thing any company wants in the current financial environment is big liabilities coming out of nowhere. And judging from the childish way in which FTX was run, there's skeletons o' plenty.

Binance wants nothing to do with the piece of hot garbage because it too is in the same position as FTX. The last thing Binance needs is an FTX landmine spooking customers and triggering Binance's own bank run.

The deal is going nowhere and FTX, along with its numbskull depositors, are dead meat.

Funny you say that, the Rust borrow checker tried to adopt differential-dataflow directly - the library behind this language - but Frank McSherry told them it's too complicated, let me build you an easier-to-use Datalog instead [blog].

> How is being on h1 relevant here? Visa or no visa people will act according to incentives designed by company.

> P.S I am on H1 visa. For sure I am offended.

Most of these PMs are Indians on H1Bs. The incentive designed by the company is extracting a certain output, under specific work conditions, and it requires bringing employees to the US, at scale, and having their visa situation hanging over their head.

If you’re offended that Amazon is able to do that, at scale - I don’t fault you.

If you’re offended that I’m openly discussing this, then I would say I don’t agree with censoring what’s in fact reality.

So many questionable decisions were made, at least during my time at Amazon, because of a cut throat environment of fear. I had 1:1s where Indian employees would cry about the situation they find themselves in, where they often have to agree or do things they don’t want to do, out of fear of losing their job and having to relocate back to India.
> Keep all logic out of the database. It already is the slowest point. And hardest to scale up.

That's... weird advice. I think a lot of what happens in Rails projects (based on my very limited experience) is that developers start to rely on this easy syntax that ActiveRecord provides and stop thinking about the queries that the ORM is creating. So you end up with these massive N+1 queries that kill performance.

This is one of the reasons I like to stay away from ORMs at all costs. A majority of what an ORM provides can be solved by a view or a function.

As to Ruby's performance... yeah... it's pretty terrible. We had to completely abandon Docker for Ruby on Rails because the performance was absolutely abysmal, even with VirtioFS enabled.

I think the OC you're replying too is far out of line and replying on emotion (personal opinion, I am too haha), but I do find frustration at CBT being used as a modality for everyone and anyone, where it actively exacerbates symptoms for a set of the population (complex trauma survivors) that looks like the target audience (mild/moderate anxiety/depression), which can create a watershed effect making the less struggling people better off and the more struggling people hurt and disillusioned with the system.

I wish there was enough coverage and recognition to have multiple pathways, or some kind of effective gated treatment going to something like CBT or over to something like Janina Fisher's empirical work practically extending IFS in a nearly universally palatable way (seriously, I'm very impressed with her work and it's among my favorites that I've ever read in the field.

The solution to this is to only buy thunderbolt+pd cables. If not everyone wants to deal with the chunkiness, also maybe deploy some "base" thunderbolt cables where power delivery beyond the base 20W spec isn't required. This is what I do.

Thunderbolt can't and won't function unless the cable meets the specifications, and thunderbolt cables have every conductor populated. This means that USB, DisplayPort, and USB-C Alt modes work over them as well.

Long version:

On any given USB-C cable you have either zero or four high-speed lanes at 5, 10, or 20 Gbps max signalling. Zero pairs is USB 2.0 only and is typically bundled with smartphones (grumble) or USB-C chargers. No USB 2.0 pair probably also exists somewhere but I've not encountered one yet.

The "PD" wattage of a cable is whatever the current rating of the VBUS wire is times 20. All power delivery is is running the VBUS wire at 20V instead of 5V and the sideband protocol to agree on boosting the voltage and finding out what the max voltage and current of the source is.

Thunderbolt requires the fastest of the differential lane configurations and if you get thunderbolt + PD, you know the max VBUS current of the cable.

Depends on the person. I’ve found it effective to ask questions like “would it be helpful to tell me what you’ve tried? Or for me to share my intuitions about how I’d look into this?” Depending on what’s being addressed I may add something like “or is there something else you have in mind?” or even begin with “how can I be most supportive? [And it’s okay if you don’t know right now]”
Layoffs help cool off the overall job market as labor supply increases, so from the perspective of companies hiring, they can be favorable. As for snapping up a freshly laid off Twitter or Facebook employee, there are surely some good individuals in there but I agree that as a group they are probably not the rockstars, nor the quiet competent folks that are a good fit with "boring" businesses.

It reminds me (forgive the harshness) of the real estate downturn, when you might be able to buy a foreclosure cheap, but most of the time it's still not a place you can do anything with.
