> They’re not scientists. They’re just pretending.

That's harsh.

You seem to want quantitative studies to prove the efficacy of methods that treat _psychological_ problems. Depending on the disorder, researchers can often only rely on patient assessments. Whether or not someone attained education or employment would be difficult to correlate as a direct effect of any specific treatment. Methods like CBT serve to give the patient a set of tools to approach their problems, and in the real world are often combined with other treatments. They're not silver bullets, nor do they work as well for everyone, since they do require a conscious effort from the patient.

It's like with meditation; some people claim it has transformed their lives, while it has little effect on others. There's little quantitative evidence to prove its efficacy. Should we dismiss the practice entirely because of this?
Definitely a terrible system, as it allows Republicans to win sometimes.
My friend, thanks for your ideas, they gave me so much to think about!

Currently, we don't have that kind of budget to sponsor an event, but what I'm thinking is that we can make an MVP of this idea. For the moment we just want to acquire our first company so we can get feedback from working with them. What we can do is target any company and then start reaching out to employees to offer them x amount of hours on our platform. After a couple of them make bookings, then we can talk with the HR department and show them that there is a real need for childcare among their employees. What do you think?
> Given some of the results from the war in Ukraine, what's the latest viewpoint on tanks in modern warfare?

You're only asking part of a question. It's not whether the tank as a piece of equipment is universally useful, but does an army have a battlefield doctrine that uses tanks well.

A tank in general is a useful piece of equipment. It's a bunch of firepower, sensors, and radios all under armor while being highly mobile. A tank can see enemy forces a long ways away, shoot at them, then coordinate with friendly forces to also shoot at the enemy.

Tanks however aren't invulnerable. They also end up with poor situational awareness when the crew is all buttoned up under armor. So tanks just sent out by themselves with no infantry support find themselves big obvious targets for enemy infantry with effective anti-tank weapons.

If an army's doctrine keeps tanks in good repair, well supplied, and uses them in concert with supporting forces they can be amazingly effective. If instead an army's doctrine doesn't value logistics and presumes tanks are invulnerable they can be laughably ineffective.

Russia has been demonstrating laughably terrible battlefield doctrine. They're losing as many tanks to their own ineptitude as they are to enemy action. Their performance isn't an indictment against tanks as a weapon but Russia's particular doctrine and military practices.

There are DeFi protocols where you can lock-up crypto assets (eg FTT) and use those locked assets as collateral to borrow another crypto asset (eg ETH). That all happens "on chain" and there is no way for the protocol to know if there are corresponding balance sheet liabilities.

I don't know what the OP was referring to, and I don't know if this is what they were doing, but something like this could happen.
An anarchist experiment that plays into capitalism's worst instincts and rapidly encountered "please give the money back to the rich people" when the first big ETH theft was pulled off.

Anarchism should be about dismantling hierarchies. Crypto has further entrenched owners against the rest.
The Unix Philosophy as commonly invoked is rigged. You are apparently not allowed to implement the Philosophy on top of (as an application) Unix. Only by using the OS—which gives you the options of Unix, and… Windows?—are you practicing the philosophy. But hold on. What if you don’t have a lisp machine lying around? What if Unix, or Unix-likes, or asterisk-nix is all you’ve got? Well it seems you have to implement your own lisp platform and run it on those icky Unixen. Great, what could be more composable than an application which can be extended using Lisp, where key presses and functions are interchangeable? And now you get to communicate with your “small programs” on your Lisp platform. But then bam, you’re disqualified. Because now people have decided—for arbitrary reasons—that you have moved one level too far up.
This argument’s logical error is presenting unprovable beliefs as if they were facts.

Apple may or may not care if users switch accounts. Only Apple confidential knowledge can prove or disprove this argument with certainty. In the absence of certainty, a best-faith effort must be made to determine whether their actions support or contradict these assertions.

The claim “Sure they do” is unsupported both by available evidence and by a good faith interpretation of their material actions. Apple’s public statements and app store policies do not support the assertion “More data is better”. There is no indication that Apple is performing enrichment of accounts using third-party data.
As I said, I avoid using the word because other people feel strongly about it.

I try to be a resource to the people I work with. I supply knowledge and energies for the benefit of people who are upwards, downwards, and sideways in the org chart.

I count on other people in the same directions to do the same.

This does not minimize them, or pretend that they are interchangeable.

Some resources go dry. Some are redirected. Some expire.

I think those who object to "resource" are adding some connotation to the word that does not need to be there. Resources are good and valuable things. They are not to be wasted or abused or taken for granted.

A lot was said good about serverless, and I was a big proponent of going ”all in”, but now as CTO of small startup I am careful with it.

From my experience of 4 years with serverless in AWS following problems have been identified:

- Difficult to debug

- Difficult to collect logs - Lambda@Edge

- Slow cold starts

- Frontend and NodeJS bundling are problematic - size limits, slow and unpredictable problems

- Pricing are difficult to estimate

- Careful planning needed for network and architecture - how lambdas work together

- Workflow orchestration might be needed

What is serverless good for?

- Queue processing

- Event processing

- Internal infrastructure code
It's a fools errand.

Exchanges have all the downsides of both fiat and crypto currencies.

Every exchange is a hack away from collapse.
I used to know someone who would constantly use phrases like "I'm not sure we really understand what is going on here..." but it took me many iterations to decode that in fact, they meant "I'm not sure you really understand what is going on here..." With that decoder ring whole conversations turned decidedly more uncomfortable as it was clear this person was not actually working together for mutual understanding or to learn other people's viewpoints but rather harbored a vague hostility towards people expressed in coded means. That actually made me more suspicious of them, not less.
What is the point of discussing a problem if you don't want advice? Implicitly whining about something is like giving advice to the listener what to not do or what does not work properly etc.
Estimated Grand Prize $2.04 Billion vs Cash Value $997.6 Million

PV of a 30-year annuity is about $130m at around 5.2%

The question is can you beat that 5.2% return on your own? If so, then take the lump sum.

The long-term (80+ years) annualized S&P 500 return is somewhere north of 8%, if you trust the market.

So one idea would be simply to invest the lump sum in the S&P... No brainer way to do better.

We have unreal engine, we have really good programmers, we have countless frameworks.... how far off are we from a bio-chemical sandbox simulation?

Yes it is! As we’ve worked with users, we’ve been continually impressed by how the FHIR spec handles complex real-world use cases. Because of this flexibility, we made the decision to store FHIR natively, rather than roll a custom schema under the hood and convert to FHIR on the fly.
I feel like the blog post is at fault for not introducing VHS, more so than the tool itself for calling itself that.

Of course, for something as ubiquitously known as VHS it needs no introduction...except it's not actually talking about the magnetic storage format, it's a "tool" named VHS[0].

The other question that occupied me many times is what color is seen by different people.

For instance, assume your eyes are 'perfect' and I have a weird genetic color perception problem:

I've learned that grass is 'green' since childhood. So I call the color of grass 'green' even though I might perceive that color the same way you perceive the color of a ripe tomato. To me your 'color of a ripe tomato' is a color I've always called 'green', so you and I will still call that color 'green', even though the color I actually see with my eyes is your 'red'.

We can never know what the other's color perception is.

I'm sorry, I don't have a good answer for you. While PGP-like web of trust is accessible on native desktop and mobile applications, it's certainly harder to use in browser. I don't think that it should be an argument against supporting it.

One of the widespread solutions in the cryptocurrency world is browser extensions, which store in its private storage the private key and allow you to use it to sign some transactions in the same browser window. I reckon it's possible to implement the same approach for PGP and store the private key and trusted public keys in order to sign and validate messages.

Looks like they're making it even more exclusive:

`Not all previously verified accounts will get the “Official” label and the label is not available for purchase. Accounts that will receive it include government accounts, commercial companies, business partners, major media outlets, publishers and some public figures.`

Does anyone have any insight into how this is in line with Musk's recent tweet "Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit."? At first glance it seems to go away from it, but maybe they'll explain it further on launch. Maybe it's because it introduces a "middle class" with the blue checkmark?

They were really leaning into the transparency angle for the blue check so I look forward to learning more how the "official" label will be allocated.

I'll add that, since posting this, I've discovered this video (https://twitter.com/YanzhongHuang/status/1586537964267798530) that predates my post, where a Chinese businessman makes the same argument.

I had no idea this was openly discussed over there (though I suppose I should have guessed it was).
Pedantic nit:

Those are initialisms. An initialism is when the individual letters are individually pronounced, like "emm-bee-ess."

This argument’s logical error is declaring that an inconvenience takes higher precedence than the desired outcome.

For example, I am seriously considering doing exactly what you describe as “nobody does that” — having to repurchase all my apps and redo all my settings — in order to complete my transgender name change. Apple refuses to purge my old deadname’s iCloud email address, and so if I want to remove it, I’ll need to start a new Apple account and re-purchase all of my apps and content.

This is a good call. Losing, or giving up, something that you can't trivially get back in short order purely by throwing money at it and telling a lackey to go fix it, is an actual consequence. Needing to add together slightly fewer poor countries' GDPs to equal his net worth is meaningless.
The linked article addresses this:

> Why was there a liquidity crunch in the first place? A crypto exchange is a weird sort of business, in many ways more like a brokerage than a traditional exchange.

> A lot of FTX’s business is in perpetual futures, a leveraged product, sometimes levered 20 to 1. If you are an exchange and you are in this sort of business, you will need to come up with the extra $100 to lend to your customer. Presumably that doesn’t come from your equity: You are doing some sort of borrowing, perhaps from other customers, [2] perhaps from outside financing sources, perhaps from your affiliated hedge fund, etc. You will have some customers who owe you money, and others whom you owe money. You will be like a bank. If everyone to whom you owe money demands their money back at once, you will need to get the money back from the ones who owe you money, which might be hard. (You might not have a contractual right to demand the money back right away, or it might be rude and bad for business, or you might have to liquidate them to get the money back and that would blow up the value of your collateral.) In broad strokes this is a reasonable description of what happened to Bear Stearns, a brokerage that financed its customers’ positions.

[2] (footnote in original article): Effectively a perpetual future involves you borrowing from and lending to your customer in offsetting ways: If the price goes up, you owe money to the long and the short owes money to you. If the short doesn’t pay you, then you still owe money to the long.
It feels pointless and wasteful a lot of the time.
I don't think this is correct.

The FED was created in 1913 for a very specific reason - to counter the Panic of 1907 by creating a banker of last resort.

It did nothing to curb the banker speculation that led to the panic of 1907

Witness LTCM, Web bubble, Subprime crisis, all fueled by banks willing to lend and overextend themselves beyond margin. The 1913 ACT did not change that one bit except make the speculators never "lose"

The FED did nothing to resolve speculation, if anything, bubbles are worse and now they are worldwide thanks to them and their low rates.

The broader sense of acronym—the meaning of which includes terms pronounced as letters—is sometimes criticized, but it is the term's original meaning[1] and is in common use.Dictionary and style-guide editors are not in universal agreement on the naming for such abbreviations, and it is a matter of some dispute whether the term acronym can be legitimately applied to abbreviations which are not pronounced "as words", nor do these language authorities agree on the correct use of spacing, casing, and punctuation.

"Find me a boat, or even a rental, for less than $100."

This is, again, a moot tangent. Please focus on the important point - that a license can be obtain very easily through online education. And yes, many people practically give away old canoes. Strap a trolling motor on it and you need a license.

"find me a government enforced license where that isn’t true?"

Apiary license, among others.

"Even if we take the data at face value and say the driver and cyclists are at equally at fault, then surely we should allocate greater responsibility to the individual in the position of greater power?"

Moot. The percentage of shared contributing factors is low.

"might well be marked down as a contributory factor."

Sure, then we can exclude the very small number with the shared contributing factors.

"The article spends quite a bit of time explaining why you can’t draw the conclusions you’ve derived from the data"

Where at?

"After all, driver chose to get into a machine quite capable to killing as a consequence of minor fault on the part of the operator, the cyclist didn’t."

Bias again. That is a consequence, although more rare, for cyclists.

"Surely drivers should take responsibility for their use of such a deadly machine, rather than just expecting everyone else to compensate for their mistakes with potentially fatal outcomes?"

Tangent, again. I never said anything about drivers not accepting responsibility for their actions. In a proper system, all participants should be anticipating faults of others for maximum safety.

"If you want your licence for bike argue to hold any water, you need to explain why it shouldn’t apply to walking as well."

No, you're the one pulling in walking and the onus would be on you to show why it should. You can research case law cycling DUI and explain to me why it applies to bicycles and not walking - there will be your answers.

It seems you're not interested in a real discussion and have provided substantial bias in your writing. Good luck. I'm done here.
