It is like requiring people to jog at the job, and then say that being wheelchair bound isn't an excuse to skip the jogging exercise. Some people have a much harder time with abstractions and words, they have learned the ones on the left, remapping all of that to the words on the right is a ton of work and maybe some of them will never manage to do it.
TikTok is also an interesting omission.

When I had a job that was represented by a union they forced us all to listen to the union representative who came in and gave their pro union propaganda to everyone. I was annoyed that they didn’t have anybody to present the opposite point of view.
As argentinian i'm very happy because the team was awesome, very nice people, very good players and excellent final match against the last wc champion.

One thing that made me even happier is now i will be planning the 2026WC because at least 10 americans wants to go to see it.
COBOL came well before the 4th generation of programming languages - it was one of the earliest 3rd-gen languages. One could argue that like 4th-gen languages it was domain specific, but most programming languages back then were tailored to rather narrow domains.

Latinx is not even an English word, it is a made-up word. It is not language evolution but an attempt at language revolution which fortunately seems to have failed thus far. May it keep on failing and may it - and the multitude of other attempts - serve as a warning that Newspeak better remain in the dystopic novels from which it often seems to originate.
How can you say that? Dogs and cattle survived to this day by being killed (or neutered) by humans. It's a win genetically
I've seen Latinx used by US universities and Fortune 500 companies, but not really used by the people I know. It may be different in more affluent or academic circles though.
> Level 5 is still very far away, and will require more than just LIDAR.

I don't think that's true. In my view, by scaling these AI models we will arrive there. But even if I am wrong, we don't need level 5 for this technology to be revolutionary. I am mostly interested in using Waymo as my new Uber, so if it can decently navigate cities costing half the price, then sign me in.
≥ US should just adopt the metric system

I just erased a long rant about this, because no one needs to read another one.

But I'll summarize: Our refusal to adopt the metric system is really a symptom of everything that's wrong with the country today. I blame organized religion.
QBasic (actually QuickBASIC; QBasic being the IDE) fixed some of the more glaring deficiencies of the original BASIC and I think was pretty popular for quite some time. I tried it and didn't like it--as I recall, I found things like error handling awkward. But it was from Microsoft and stayed around for quite some time.

Although Turbo Pascal was also popular for a time, I'm not sure anything truly replaced these beginner-friendly languages until Python came along.
I think his question is asking for objective evidence that would suggest either.

This World Cup has seen some of the best football for decades. It helps that the players aren’t knackered after a full season.
From what Messi said immediately after, he was rather upset at some Dutch behavior (I didn't watch the game so idk what it'd have been) and also at the referee -especially at the ref- and I guess he wasn't in a sporting mood. That's too bad because t-shirt exchanges are a nice touch :(

> I disagree about the negative correlation between humanitarian studies and war-like behaviors, however it's an interesting point nonetheless.

Fair enough, but also interesting is:

- barring access to a counterfactual reality machine, the truth of the matter is unknown

- the mind contains processes for generating virtual counter-factual realities, and these simulations are so convincing that it is easy to mistake them for the real thing (which is unknown)

It seems highly unlikely that teaching these things in school would not increase awareness of them, though whether it would also have an effect on susceptibility is another matter. I believe that it would improve that also at least somewhat, and perhaps substantially with practice.

To me, this is an example of the humanities in action.

Your post may be politically correct, but it is not polite. In fact you come off as quite rude compared to the person you are replying to.

> You don't get to say they should not feel that way.

If GP were to say how they should feel, clearly they would be caring how they feel. Also, why not? People discuss how one should feel in a particular situations quite often. In fact the page being discussed here seems to concern itself a great deal with what should upset people, even though most of the groups on whose behalf it appears to be judging what is offensive to them could have probably pointed these things out themselves - and I'm not sure everyone appreciates being paternalized this way (see "Latinx").

It's interesting to see these tech influencers and their lag time on giving Elon the benefit of the doubt before they've had enough. Will Elon ever have a "coming to jesus moment" and realize that he's alienated so many of his peers that he is, in fact, in the wrong? Or is he so delusional that he really does believe he has the answers?
It's news to me that that users are not allowed to mention other social networks' accounts on Twitter anymore. Seems short sighted, how many users is Twitter losing to Instagram/Discord/Mastodon?
To be fair, this started way before Elon. Yes you could link to individual posts but as soon as you read through the direct reply a soft paywall comes up. Your experience as signed out user was - and still is - awful.
We went in expecting nothing. But honestly despite whoever won this was the most exciting football World Cup final that my friends and I ever watched together. Loved the experience. What a match.
The cough that wouldn’t go away was a bellwether to my wife’s ovarian cancer.

She was incredibly stubborn when it came to medical issues and had been experiencing some pain in her side that I had been stressing for her to get seen for. She went to urgent care and they did nothing,
bolstering her opinion that it was worthless being seen for it.

The cough was a dry cough that was not very frequent but the older women in her periphery were very concerned about it. I didn’t think much of it, just a dry cough. The women in the other hand would say things like ‘I really don’t like that cough’ with a concerned face. I don’t know if they had an internalized correlation or it was just a sense of something wrong. It turns out that this is a fairly common symptom.

I'm talking about this policy, not Musk. I think the policy is stupid and I think we should argue against it. "Musk won't follow the policy" is not a criticism of the policy. There's plenty of room here to criticize the policy on its own merits.
> Why not take it on good faith that this work was guided by research that asked more blind people than you have?

Since they propose to replace Hispanic with Latinx, a term that most Hispanics reject [1], such faith is unwarranted.

> You can either care about how blind people feel through your usage of language or not care.

I propose an alternative dichotomy: I can prioritize truth, or I can prioritize the asserted feelings of the loudest complainers.

And as a commenter pointed out, "blind" in "blind review" is a positive, not a negative! A blind review is objectively better and more socially desirable than a non-blind one (and, correct me if I'm wrong, but is becoming prevalent in academia, so it is also normal instead of abnormal). We have more than enough evidence to conclude this document is insincere.

It's not just network effects that saved GitHub. It's also that Microsoft didn't handle it like an insecure bully and visibly continued a commitment to its community. Had they not done that, certainly alternatives would've had a better go of picking up disillusioned GitHub users.

Twitter instituting a policy against cross promotion isn't going to save the public square. It's encouraging the rest of the ecosystem to retaliate or to escape.
> I feel the same with the "find me on mastodon" twitter bios: people will realize that only 50 of their thousands of followers can be found on mastodon, and then move back in a few weeks after giving up on the experiment. During all that time they have still kept most of their activities on twitter because there is simply more going on there, more replies to their tweets, more tweets to reply to, etc.

Pretty much. Among the big anti-Elon names, Kathy Griffin already gave up on Mastodon and is just posting once every 2-3 days now, probably because getting 200 likes on her posts is a major step down from the 100k+ she was regularly getting on Twitter.

> banning them might have actually the opposite effect here: then they get forced to focus on mastodon.

I agree, but if you're a professional relying on engagement metrics for your career--as many artists, musicians, journalists, and social media marketers do--it would take massive, massive guts to go all-in on Mastodon when it clearly has not taken over Twitter's engagement by any extent.

For historical precedent: Instagram instituted a very similar policy to stop people from adding OnlyFans links, but it didn't really decrease IG usage as far as I know. You still need Instagram to "funnel" people into your OF, same as journalists will need Twitter to funnel people into their articles. It's simply too valuable a resource to give up for them.
It’s interesting that so much focus is on getting people who are likely we’ll meaning but don’t keep up with the nuance. Heard someone called a bigot because they used the word Latina instead of the correct latinx. If you knew them you’d know they have family of diverse backgrounds so may not have even known the right word and likely didn’t mean “harm”

YouTube is thought to only break even as far as profits.

Android makes very little money in the grand scheme of things. It came out during the Oracle trial that Android only had made $17 billion between 2011-2017. On the other hand, they pay Apple $18B+ to be the default search engine on iOS devices. Apple makes far more from Google paying them in mobile than Google makes from Android.

GCP is still losing money.

Google has no successful profitable business besides advertising and has the focus of a crack addles flea.

Because of all the free, open source software, I don't see it as a big deal. I don't mean to say that you can just get the free version of everything in OSS. Rather, that the entire software landscape has shifted, in a meaningful way. On the one hand, you get A TON more software for free, and on the other, for something that has a real moat - yeah, you pay. I think it's fair, software moats are hard, and therefore expensive.

I too prefer to buy, not rent, wherever possible. But the way I think of subscriptions is, first of all, as one-off annual expenses, which I can decide if I still want or don't.

Something like the office suite, I think you get the basic for free. And you can have a workable email client like thunderbird for free. But outlook is a million times better. So when I did this one piece of work, in my mind I said: okay, this one pays for Office till I retire. Mentally, I allocated the money, and stopped thinking about it.

Most software is fundamentally a service. You want to be able to sync your passwords and notes, and receive security and bug fix updates. Companies need to fund that infrastructure and ongoing development.

It's a brand new policy, and it was enforced before it was even declared. I just deleted my Twitter account after 14 years. It's over.
> So yeah, why is that?

Because like media or newspapers, the product continues to require work and has no defined expiration date. I assume you want updates for your password manager?

Companies also love the idea of subscriptions for cash and approval management reasons. In government, subscriptions can even prevent you needing to go through a formal procurement phase, which might lead to some important infrastructure losing and needing to be ripped out.
I think you might be right. If they're refusing to allow you to post something on one network and then link to it on Twitter, that is hilariously petty.

All this is going to do is drive creators to mastodon...which means at least for the popular ones, they'll end up gladly giving mastodon a lot of extra visibility.
The FTC themselves say "a product market in an antitrust investigation consists of all goods or services that buyers view as close substitutes". So I don't think it's "do things very similarly to Twitter" as much as it is "serves the same need as Twitter". And as I said, looking at the discussions around leaving Twitter provides plenty of evidence that close substitutes are not available in the view of users.
> This claim needs some real world evidence to back it up (and usually it's not about a performance impact, but instead a perceived image quality impact).

We're talking lossless compression here, so image quality is not the issue.

Fortunately someone else has already done this research. There's a tool for Windows to control the compact.exe behavior for individual folders called CompactGUI: https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI

They maintain a database of compression results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14CVXd6PTIYE9XlNpRsxJ...

Reductions in storage use of greater than 50% are so common that they're hardly even worth remarking on. My experience with compressing a bunch of games is that the biggest gains come from compressing bloated asset packs. Hard to know what else could be taking up more than 50% of the storage space in a particular game.

I think we've come to accept the externalities of wind and solar (land area, visual changes to landscape, etc) because the costs of those externalities are so much less than the alternatives. They still exist though. Fusion is probably too late to solve climate change, but I think it's a laudable goal to one day replace renawables such as hydro, wind, and solar farms with fusion.
Well, everything is math, at some level. Supreme Court decisions might be. There are software packages used to day, using some "AI", to help judges determine the adequate level of punishments looking at circumstantial factors determining recividism rates et cetera [1] [2].

I believe that in the not too distant future there will be pressure to use these "magic" AIs to be applied everywhere, and this pressure will probably not look very hard at whether the AI is good at math or not. Just look at all the pseudoscience in the criminal system [3]. I believe this poses a real problem, so keeping hareping on this is probably the right response.

To be honest, I experienced what it meant to be on the "bad side of the fence", in my little universe (20 following, a few hundred followers of which mostly I don't know who they are) well before Musk. It was pretty stressful if you chose to engage with the platform.

But I decided that my account has basically zero value and it will be phased out after August 2023 (long story on why).
> BASIC illustrates the "one-screen problem," where a program becomes unreadable when it exceeds one screen, or perhaps one printed page.

Python has the same problem though, as do "scripting" languages in general. The limit may be some low amount of "screens" as opposed to a literal screenful of text, but either way it's quite impossible to program "in the large" with it. Even Go is hampered in this domain by its limited abstractions.
Wow, Twitter is collapsing much faster than I expected. With PG and some other high-profile accounts gone, many will loose interest in their Twitter feed fast. Rinse and repeat.

"It's remarkable how many people who've never run any kind of company think they know how to run a tech company better than someone who's run Tesla and SpaceX.".

It's been fascinating watching so many VC types ignore so many red flags just because some of Elon's early actions validated their priors (e.g. tech companies are bloated and need to layoff staff).
