That's pretty much it. We call them executive admins these days where they exist.

And, yeah, assistants shared with a bunch of other people--as with travel agents in general--aren't really all that useful. If I'm mostly just giving fairly mechanical instructions to execute, it's probably easier for me to go online and figure out the options myself.

A secretary made a lot more sense when you dictated memos for inter-office mail and retrieving information often involved making multiple phone calls.
It's more about making the corruption accessible. Corruption is inevitable, this is covered in Plato's Republic and still holds true today. If people were not corrupt there would be campaigns to avoid political office, not seeking it.

The difference many times in the level of success of a nation is the level and accessibility of corruption. The US is extremely corrupt, political office is held almost entirely as a means of personal enrichment. Economic consideration is exchanged quid pro quo as a matter of fact in many scenarios. However these corrupt practices are carried out in an open format under a set of guidelines that mean anyone with money can access the corrupt system. Anyone can look at the system and say objectively "this is wrong" but doing away with it only pushes it behind closed doors and limits access to a select few.
Written by someone who doesn't know guns and doesn't know bows. I think I got about halfway through. It's just weird. They say the arrow is pressed against the string with the thumb ring on a thumb draw (not how it works) and then there's a picture that clearly shows that's not how it works.

Where did you get the 'ideal' 29 number from?

The expected (in statistical sense) number of rotations needed is 32 but it could be as low as 24.

Now that I think it better that means the shuffle was fixed.
Any instruction that involves "Google X" (or even a general term "Install Y"), is not a good instruction. It is like a maze - easy to go once you know the path. Otherwise - dozens of subtle things that can go wrong, at each step (e.g. installing a different version of Y, or to a wrong path, etc).

The best instructions can have descirptions, but also contains a FULL list of command lines instructions, ideally without any placeholders.

Or just allow multiple accounts to use the same email (with an upper limit)

Already people can chuck a + in the user part and register with the same email like joe+2@gmail.com so really there's not much point trying to maintain a 1:1 user to email ratio.
This article was written during a time where the idea of a semantic web was still bright and strong. Scrapable HTML websites would have been at the forefront of interchange ideas then.
> If we cannot imagine low-tech warfare, we cannot imagine a low-tech, sustainable, and fair society.

On top of that, we don't need to imagine low-tech warfare. We used to have it. It wasn't sustainable or fair, and low-tech isn't a virtue by itself.
I'll say a positive thing about Confluence from the point of view of a mars rover operator. We use it as our main reference on shift and it works great for us. We migrated from twiki and the fact that the search works, everybody can edit easily, and it has a bunch of useful integrations including draw.io . I do wish it had markup or html editing.
> yes agreed. You can think of web3 as a better PKI. I do.

interesting point.

from a UI perspective, it's kinda true.

could have been their killer app, if the whole ecosystem thought about it, but in the end it's been just a byproduct of something that proved zero usefulness and even the "better PKI" argument it's been somewhat replicated by letsencrypt for HTTPS and it will for everything else when a sufficient number of users will show interest for it.
The Guardian have arguably the worst track record for handling leaks.
It's just made up. The "logic" goes: if there was bad stuff about H. Clinton out there, there must be worse stuff about Trump out there, because Trump is worse than H. Clinton. Therefore, Assange ignored all of the bad stuff (that neither the FBI, constant congressional investigations, numerous private intelligence firms, and every single anti-Trump media outlet spent nearly a decade at this point looking for still have yet to find) just to target poor H. Clinton.

The most bizarre part of this theory is why anyone would think that Trump, a NYC real estate guy who wasn't good at actually building things so turned into a guy who sold his branding to real estate projects, a wrestler, a game show host, would have more or worse skeletons in his closet than H. Clinton, somebody at the center of one of the two ruling parties of the world hegemon for 25 years. We know everything that H. Clinton did (she was proud before she wasn't, like the rest of the New Democrats), so the leaks were literally about her corruption and DNC corruption during the election. The DNC also fired all of their executives over it because they were obviously corrupt. If the DNC were actually concerned about corruption rather than being caught, you'd think they'd celebrate Assange for smoking it out.

I always used to wonder how dictatorships or strikebreakers could call in huge groups of thugs to beat up people at protests, or to show up to rallies for the dictator. A lot of them are paid, of course, but a lot of them just have the mindset that really prioritizes trying to figure out if Trump was misrepresenting his net worth by exaggerating the success of some of his buildings in order to secure financing from new investors, over what H. Clinton did to Haiti. Or Honduras. Or Iraq.

But, you know, I think the Trump Foundation was a way for him to avoid paying taxes on a painting in the lobby of his building. Lock him up.
90% of every dollar after the first $10 million/year seems like a fair and rational starting point.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't exactly consider this lying, with all the negative connotations. It's just applying pressure.

No different than a b2b SaaS salesperson saying they need to close a deal by x date to receive a "special" discount. It's all made up, it's just part of the game
It's likely the commissioning was an isolated event, though the bowhunting is pretty common. Regarding the noise, I wouldn't discount it altogether - I know that if I lived in a suburb near NYC I'd be calling the police if I heard gunshots.
That depends on the sign-up workflow. It is possible to not provide the information "user already exist" on sign-up and instead just say "we sent you an email, please confirm". In this scenario a potential attacker who just wants to check for existing email addresses has no access to the email addresses he wants to check.

The contents of the email could be something like "Hey you just tried to register with this email address, but we already have an existing account with this email address ... Was that you? ... Maybe you have forgotten got your password?"
Chief scientist of major corporation can’t handle criticism of the work he hypes
There will always be firearms. You can make them illegal but you can't make them stop existing. This is the fundamental problem with these types of suggestions. Switch to bow, it's safer! ...but the criminals (and anyone else) will keep using firearms. Comically absurd idealism about society and the world.
"Superstate" is not a thing unless the five participants in the "5-eye" intelligence sharing program actually agree to form a state. So to stick with your logic, Assange should be responsible for leaking Australian things only. To be fair, a pretty strange logic tho, since you only allow the perpetrator of the crime to confess as means of accountability.

Your statistics is a function of how you count it. You could, for example, include "use of rape as a military tactic"[1] or "deliberate genocide"[2, 3] - which might have a bearing on the whole thing.

Not to mention the blatant, veiled whataboutism. Just because "USA bad" doesn't mean that countries such as Russia and China can do anything they want and we shouldn't hold them accountable.

To claim any kind of moral authority "calculation" here is perverse.

What kind of error does it check?
What kind of ODE solvers are used to simulate chaotic systems? They must be very accurate if even a small error can result in a completely different result.
Let me be clear - I'm not blaming American's per se ( though they do share some of the blame - the idea that America can do no wrong because it's America, is surprisingly pervasive even among highly educated people ).

I think it's quite clear that democracy is failing in the US - why else would you have father and son or husband and wife as presidents or almost presidents.

Clearly the statistical chance of them being the best on merit is quite slim.

So yes there is institutional capture.

It's not all bad though - the US is very dynamic country, there is a chance of change.

If you like CLOS, be sure to look up "The Art of the Meta-Object Protocol." It Was written by people who were at PARC back in the day so were on the ground when Smalltalkish concepts were being developed and extended. But... it's focused on Lisp.

It describes the thinking behind an implementation of OOP for Lisp, and along the process reveals parts of the mental journey to both Smalltalk and CLOS.

Perhaps.. but clueless comments are usually evident by the very lack of solid info. So why even post?

I get further pissed off by having people argue back when I say something from my small island of expertise (SQL and a few other things) they clearly know less than me - I can't learn from them and they won't learn from me. I don't mind n00bs, we all were once, but to willingly remain n00bs by rejecting information, well I can't comprehend it.

I've spoken to people from some parts of the world where they have talked about a "recent" govt or king and then found out they were talking about 300 years ago, which was wild. Their collective sense of history goes back thousands of years. I would really recommend the chance to speak with people from Rome, Cairo, Damascus or Beijing (amongst many others, these are the first that come to mind) who love their local history, and you will get a sense of history that goes back a long way than a lot of people (myself included) can comprehend.
So what is the gospel de jour, or are we forsaken in these benighted times?
" it's perfectly possible to guard them from poachers"

This is completely overlooking the sheer size of the earth and the sheer numbers of people/tech devices it would take to guard them from poachers.

We can guard some trees (and some animals) from poaching, but it really is beyond us to guard them all, even if they don't move.

> This seems to be the inverse of a zero-sum game: the West might have got a lot richer, but hundreds of millions of people were lifeted out of extreme poverty at the same time.

Parent's thesis is that it's not a typical zero-sum game, but "a zero sum game with an ever increasing pie". It's an interesting idea; I don't know if there are formalizations of it.
That's essentially what happens in Rust, but it's a layer of crates.
The amount of packages don't matter, as long as the key ones are available, and they are there on both. No need to compete against npm.

They also have an advantage over cargo, specially Conan, binary repos, no need to recompile the world for 3rd party dependencies after each git clone.
I actually find this post inspiring. I've spend my whole life walking without thinking about it. And it wasn't obvious to me at all that I can turn right by pivoting with right leg at all. I mean I intellectual understand I could, but I don't consciously remember myself doing it. How many things are there that are "obvious" without us knowing? How can I identify if my children are walking properly, for instance, if I don't have a mental model of what "correct walking" looks like.

Similar can be said about breathing. Breathing with chest or abdomen can make quite a difference.

Without wanting to come across as fatalistic, because there is still a lot we can and should do to avoid the worst, it is already too late not only for a large number of humans born today in unfortunate parts of the a, but also for a lot of animal and plant species.

Don't get me wrong, I don't believe the planet will die, it'll just become a lot less inhabitable. There's a rather informative xkcd that visualises the rate of change in temperature, which - while entertaining - should give people pause, but we humans are good at ignoring uncertain future outcomes, so it doesn't [0].

But I do believe that by the time the major players have decided to take climate change seriously, the situation will be very much out of control. So much so that, for example, the stream of African refugees in Europe will have increased in a way that is unimaginable to us now.

As an aside, that is also why I don't understand why far right parties in Europe aren't doing anything they can to prevent it, but that's probably just the nature of the far right.

Vision Transformers
I'm just waiting for someone to finally release a voice assistant built around an actual language model, like GPT-3 or LaMDA.

It would be more error prone in a lot of ways, which is probably why nobody's done it yet, but it would also be a _lot_ more powerful, and fulfill the vision of conversational AI in a way the current rules-based assistants do not.

I think if powerful language models were easily accessible to normal people (in an inexpensive and completely unrestricted fashion, like with Stable Diffusion) we'd already see this happening in the open source world. Companies are going to be a lot more hesitant to try it though until they have a way to 100% prevent the models from making mistakes that could reflect poorly on the company, which is going to take _way_ longer to achieve.
> Oh and that type never "gets bigger" in a way that would cause compile-time explosions.

FWIW Axum did get hit by last year's "huge types" regression, the maintainer opted to bypass the issue by boxing routes internally: https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/pull/404

I'm confused about how this piece uses the term "food waste".

The linked-to page about says "that food could go a long way towards feeding the 38.3 M food insecure people in the U.S."

However, from the same site, https://refed.org/food-waste/the-problem/#what_is_food_waste :

> ReFED defines “food waste” as uneaten food and inedible parts that end up being landfilled, incinerated, disposed of down the sewer, dumped, or spread onto land.

Inedible turkey bones, from that definition, count as "food waste".

Which wouldn't help feed the 38.3 M food insecure people in the U.S.
Mine has issues connecting to firestore. I can make as many moves as I like though, which is nice :D
That's not zero sum. The pie can be 100% finite and yet, while everything else remains equal, two people can both benefit and be happier at the same time by simply (and voluntarily) exchanging a good or service between them, because they value those things differently at that point in time.

If I have 10 chickens and you have 10 goats, we can exchange between us and each of us would simultaneously benefit more from having 5 chickens and 5 goats each, even though the pie hasn't changed.

Or maybe I prefer to have 8 chickens and 2 goats, while you prefer to have 8 goats and 2 chickens, and both be happier as a result by exchanging between us while the entire pie has remained exactly the same.

So happiness/usefulness/value was created by the exchange of goods and services even though the pie hasn't changed at all.

Also, these preferences can change over time, so value can continue to be created even if the pie doesn't change.
On lichess? I been hovering in at 1300+-50 for the last year... I can barely beat stockfish 2. I've found stockfish at these lower levels doesn't play like humans at all.
