At least one NHS content editor uses "symptom" to mean objective symptoms [1]:

> Symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) in adults can include:

> - a high temperature or shivering (chills) – a high temperature means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)

As do, slightly implicitly, all four of the UK chief medical officers [2]:

> The individual’s households should also self-isolate for 14 days as per the current guidelines and the individual should stay at home for 7 days, or longer if they still have symptoms other than cough or loss of sense of smell.

> They’re talking about AGI, a hypothetical construct that we have no way of proving is even possible

I really don't understand AGI skeptics. Unless you think reality has some non-physical character that can't be reproduced outside of biology, it obviously follows that a physical machine can reproduce what another physical machine (human body) is doing.
We've codified greed in how tech businesses commonly operate. Once they take VC money, the expectation is constant growth. If you have a product with a limited market/audience there are only a few ways to achieve that:

- Increase prices - which will drive some of your customers away.

- Revenue through ads - which will drive some of your customers away.

- New products - risky, and if successful it sometimes means the original product becomes abandonware.

- New features to try to increase the audience for your product or monetize directly - what it seems like Evernote did.

But not every product can have billions or even millions of users. So sometimes these all fail anyway. Basically investment, whether from VCs or an IPO, is often death for a small business serving a niche market.

It’s a fake suggestion since the problem currently facing crypto is insolvency, not illiquidity. No amount of money would make FTX a good asset beyond the value of the cash itself.

What would be the benefit? Modern processors handle (what appear as) octet-based memory (despite having 64-bit words) all the time with no issues. In fact, your processor may only work on, say, 128-bit (16 byte cache line) memory accesses at a time.

But if you insist, TI has some DSPs where CHAR_BITS is 16. They're supposedly a massive pain to use because you have to mask off the upper octet every so often.

The one feature I loved in Evernote (when I was using it as a paid customer a few years ago) was that I could upload a pdf and it would be indexed for search. I ended up using Evernote as an extensive pdf library with very rapid search of all my pdfs. Does notesnook offer anything like that?

This was regrettable and it shouldn't have happened. It also reflects a sort of safety-above-all note in the zeitgeist that's also regrettable.

But I want to point out that the reason you're all rubbernecking is that it's unusual. Mostly, this just doesn't happen. Mostly people are reasonable.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't help the lady with her gofundme and try to punish the other adults involved, though :-)

It’s a common style of telegraphic English used in headlines. In normal prose we would write “handcuffed and jailed”. I don’t think the style is new. In fact, as a native speaker, I also sometimes have to read headlines three times to figure out what they mean.
I tried my best to fill in the blanks for this story, and my working understanding is this:

1) Client requests service.
2) Service is graphQL, which makes the "thousands of calls" Musk is referring to towards other backend APIs.
3) There was an incorrect international cache/CDN configuration which hurt response time of these APIs for some countries.
4) Musk claims its the API calls causing slow performance, engineers point out that its technically the cache.

Debate is about if using graphQL is even worth it if it needs such complex caching to work well

One of my favorite burnout jobs was as estimator for a high-end hardwood flooring company. Completely fell into it by accident, the place was next door to where I'd walk to get an espresso around 10AM.

So I'd walk in there occasionally to look at some of the demo work they had on the walls, and one day I opened my mouth and said "I need some exercise" and the owner said "we'll make you 'shop boy'!"; bear in mind I was in my 40s at the time. So one or two days a week I'd come in and sweep and clean for a few hours, and then that led to dump runs and eventually they found out I could fix electrical things (like their tools).

The owner was a fundie who homeschooled his kids, I wouldn't tag him as someone I'd seek out for a friend, but we had great conversations about religion and philosophy. The guy who did estimates was tired of it, so he gave me a week's training and off I went; he was my "boss" and he was 19 years old, awesome to work for. It was usually 4-6 hours, 5 days a week. Only paid minimum wage, but after a month they gave me health insurance and I didn't even ask for it.

It was a hoot, I had a "floor hunter" schtick. I got to look at some wild things: a safe that had fallen through a floor, somebody what wanted to put a wine cellar in the underground tunnel (needed a cypress floor natch) which the PO had used as a gun lane, a studs out remodel of an amazing mansion (I saved the subfloor in the ballroom!). Got to see the other side of some IT peeps I knew by reputation, a couple of whom I'd briefly met; a several of them looked like they were experiencing deja vu, but none of them found me out. I bid jobs from $1000 to $100,000 USD.

Did it for about a year.
> If you don't want to be arrested for breaking a stupid law, vote for someone who will repeal it.

Easy to say, but you're voting for them for a lot more than that. If that's the only thing you care about, you can easily vote for that person. If you care about other things, it gets a lot, lot harder.
Depends on the embedded system. I've only worked in mid-sized companies, and most of my projects were teams of 4 to 12 SWE-type with 1 to 3 EE for the project. Typically light ARM4 or weaker microcontrollers will have smaller teams, or no team, while anything beefier, like embedded Linux projects or anything with a UI, will have bigger ones.

Your definition of "forced" is comical, if not delusional.

> If Tesla goes bankrupt, your cars will NOT work, given how tightly they are integrated with servers at Tesla.

My Model 3 works just fine whether it can reach Tesla's servers or not. I've driven to places with zero connectivity to anything, charged fully, and continued driving without issue for over 100 miles before having service again. The worst thing that happened is an empty navigation screen.
I don't see how you can claim that TLDR without a measure of how many of the results are active projects.

Similarly, it's a strong claim to equate "non-latest release" with "rusty/rotten tooling".
First define capitalism and socialism. I would argue an attempt to do this methodically and holistically in the context of how modern governments actually run quickly shows that this is just a broken and useless paradigm for thinking about the world.

So the people who argue about this stuff are the ones who want to play team sports political arguing because the underlying concept is worse than useless.

For example, there is not a single truly capatilist, socialist, or communist country in the world. In fact just try to define what that would even look like and it's almost immediately apparent that the question itself makes no sense because it hinges on definitions of words with no meanings.

Every economy in the world has elements of capitalism and socialism. Including North Korea. But in almost every case besides North Korea, there is not really a meaningful distinction at all. Some policies feel more socialistic or capitalistic but they are just attributes of individual policy decisions on a spectrum

At least in a command economy like North Korea you can try to come up with a definition of what communism or socialism means in practice but the day to day reality is those systems would implode immediately without global trade denominated in international currencies. Also its worth noting that it's not a coincidence that the only country that tries to violate this paradigm is a semi failed state

The US has a stock market and mega corporations but also social security and food stamps. So which one are we? Like everywhere else , the question is meaningless and there is no answer

The same concern can be voiced for 16 or 20 year old women and men. All of them can be abducted with ease by 2+ trained people. Should they also be accompanied by their moms at all times?

If the stack ranking works then yeah they would have no bloat, but teams are just trying to demonstrate their value to someone above them who is trying to assess their value while demonstrating their own. How valuable they actually are is pretty difficult to assess. There are probably many teams sucking up millions that have a net negative impact with their contributions but how do you measure that.
>Of course it can, because humans have already done this. What do you think language, writing, books, school, science and computers are?

Language, writing, books, school, science and computers never raised anybody's IQ. Genetics and nutrition, on the other hand, did.

>However, money is a power too, and all of our money is digitized these days, and a digital superintelligence might arguably have an advantage in this domain. A superintelligence with lots of money can arguably convince a whole lot of people to do what it wants and get the physical access it needs.

Who would let superintelligence have a wallet and budget? Or would we just sit and have it steal money? And why would it be any more effective, and any less visible or trackable and able to be shut down than a rich person using his money?

Why would someone who makes a donation to Wikimedia expect that their donation may get used to fund a different organization who will then issue grants to a different organization whose goal is to assist illegal immigrants, for instance?

Most probably did and most are happy. I don't understand the downside

You just can't make this shit up. Evernote was basically a no-service from the get-go. It was an app built around the fact that sooner or later they would force users to pay. Popular around that point in time. Slack, Miro and so on had similar plans. At least Slack kinda works without paying.

Another term to avoid IMHO: "jingle jangle fallacy". It's catchy, but both the word "jingle" and the word "jangle" have established meanings in English neither of which has anything to do with what is being referred to here. To say nothing of the fact that the "jingle jangle fallacy" is not a fallacy, it's just bad choice of terminology.

Much better words than "jingle jangle fallacy" are "ambiguous" (for one word that has multiple meanings) and "redundant" (for multiple words that have the same meaning) terminology.

(I find it supremely ironic that this needs to be pointed out in an article whose central thesis is that wise choice of terminology is important.)
For most hacking projects I use arangodb. I kinda wish there was an OWL-supporting database that was straightforward to write apps in but I think there still isn’t. SQLite is a second in Python where file-oriented as opposed to client-server is acceptable. In Java I’d consider some other file-based db which is pure Java.

Replacing one mature operating system with another, which itself was based on one even more mature, and adding stuff is not quite a rewrite. That was more like how Microsoft moved NT into its consumer OS. It was a bit of a mess but had a clear payoff once everything was updated or obsoleted. NT and BSD were both battle-hardened long before anyone thought to put them in consumer systems.

Can someone educate me on the difficulties in raising money from your user base?

It seems like businesses like this should give fair warning to their users before transactions like this occur to make sure they don't have a better option than shutting down or selling out.

Evernote has tens of millions of paying users. It doesn't seem too far-fetched to believe that each user would fork over on average $50 (as an investment, presumably) to just freeze product development, fix bugs, and improve performance.

Put another way, I'm pretty sure Evernote could have raised hundreds of millions from their user base.

Why not try that approach? Are there regulatory issues that make it unfeasible?

The Model 3/Y are not good rental cars. They're fantastic cars IMO but they take some time to get accustom to, that's not something you want in a rental car.

To open the glove box requires 2 screen presses or activating the voice controls. On the one hand it's an uncommonly used feature, I think I've opened mine once this year. On the other hand it's rather silly that there isn't a button or sensor to allow you to open it physically.

Consider that my Model 3 has a sensor that detects if I close the center console improperly and displays a message on screen, same with the frunk. I would gladly replace one of those sensors for one that detects me groping the glovebox door.
A sanely configured Windows is actually pretty good. I’m sure corporate would ruin Linux too.
> Let's quickly drop the idea that this is the fault of nosey neighbors

No, let's not. According to the article, the neighbor who called the cops asked the boy where he lived, "verified that it was just down the street, and proceeded to call nonetheless". Excuse me? What decent neighbor calls the cops on a neighbor's kid walking just down the street from his own house?

I agree the law in question shouldn't even be on the books in the first place, but one of the things you're supposed to do as a neighbor is to understand that we have an insane legal system and not invoke it on one of your neighbors unless you really, really have to.
Ridiculous you are getting downvoted for stating something that is clearly true.
I agree that Reason is pretty agenda-driven, and not really a reliable source of reporting, but I don't think there is a special reason to mistrust this story.

I have represented several hundreds of people in situations like this. This lady's story wouldn't be in my top quartile of stunning injustice. I have frequently called news outlets to tell them about outrageous cases, and stories like this just don't make news. It's not news that there's a child endangerment law in Texas, it's not news that the police make bullshit arrests, and there's not much else here.

The fact that there are no other mentions of this lady and her case on the internet is basically the hobgoblin of my professional life.
So now you need to stay up-to-date with the newest advances in rooting (which I clearly wasn't).

It's nice if this is a hobby (and I have rooted my phones in the past), but for the average user (even the average technical user) who just wants to get on with their day without becoming an expert in rooting, it's a complete no-go.

Importantly, it's a very poor substitute for regulations mandating that manufacturers offer us these options without having to go through back doors. I believe that any energy spent on technical workarounds to manufacturer locks is better spent on political activism to enable true device ownership through regulation.

I also hear that in Germany you actually require people to know how to drive before you give them licenses. We could learn a few things from you. Cops in the US frequently shoot themselves in the foot, shoot blindly into buildings, etc. Yes, hordes of untrained armed police with emotional problems are a big issue in the US. They are empowered by the knowledge that the legal system will almost never hold them accountable.
Don't shoot the messenger. I didn't say I agreed with the argument.

For example, anyone who is in favor of "smaller government" should support of the "Defund the police" movement. They do not. That should tell you something about the state of critical thinking.

I don't spend every waking moment stopping lots of things that could kill us all. Nuclear war, climate change, gain-of-function research.

I just don't care that much about things that kill everyone. I don't think almost anyone does. In the Cold War, the vast majority of the population was not doing absolutely everything to achieve bilateral disarmament. This would lead you to believe that they didn't really expect nuclear war. But maybe they were just apathetic and helpless.
