It is all there, the Cat is the spiritual successor to the original Macintosh. Jef wanted the Mac to be cheap and extensible.

I read into to that that the Cat is the machine that Jef, who originally started the Macintosh project, wanted to build once he learned how what became the Mac was received by its users.
>Are we optimizing for the law-abiding or the law-breaking?

The entire paradigm shift for retribution -> rehabilitation is that the law-abider and the law-breaker are (or can be) the SAME people. The distinction you are making falls away.

We are all born of the same nature, capable of doing evil. Does that make us all evil people? Separate the sin from the sinner, and create space for repentance

If I had a little robot riding in the passenger seat that could tell me whether to go left, straight, or right, and it was correct 90% of the time, I'd think that was pretty great. I'd get where I needed to be, even with a couple mishaps.

ML code suggestions are the same thing to me. If I don't know where I am going, I can just ask it for suggestions. And it's probably going to be what I want.

In both cases, I am annoyed with myself for having started before I knew where I want to end up.

This is mostly true — though keep in mind that corporate forward-proxy caches still work under strict TLS, by installing root CA certs through GPOs on corporate machines, that re-sign all connections.

More importantly, if you're talking to a browser, the browser's own cache is in play. It's not an edge cache, per se, but it's just as important as one, and acts very similar to one.

The headline 'couples meet xxx ...' is absolutely not 'clickbait' moreover, the notion that 'bar dating' and 'online dating' might have some similarities is reasonable, but beyond requirement to include in a report a few sentences long especially given that it's nuanced.

Since most, even 'respected' journalism is a bit clickbaity, this is well within normative editorialization.

Hence the likely bigotry on the part of people ventilating about the origin of the data.

I have a blog post that I've been sketching out in my head about this whole area of Tools for Thought, future of computing, cybernetics, etc. Basically I find that the thoughtleaders of this space seem to always claim that the true manifestation of their ideas is just out of reach (Project Xanadu, memex, object oriented programming, etc.), but then never deliver this true manifestation.

Indeed it's rather remarkable how many of these figures like Vannevar Bush, Alan Kay, Douglas Engelbart, etc., never actually shipped much. Now, you could argue that they were ahead of their time and couldn't ship, and for some of these people you would be right. But c'mon now, Alan Kay is still kicking, and still talking about how programming should be reinvented. Douglas Engelbart lived into the 2010's. It's more that these fantastical futuristic ideas, if they were released, would probably not live up to their sales pitches. They're all chasing the high of Engelbart's famous demo. And their followers, who are perpetually waiting, who attempt interpretations of these thoughtleaders ideas and get dismissed as flawed manifestations, well they are essentially the parish. They're waiting for the second coming.

This isn't to say that none of these people have accomplished stuff. They have accomplished an extraordinary amount. But they are fundamentally salesmen, salesmen for the future. And salesmen only have a job as long as they have something to sell.

Given I sleep most nights in a hammock in woods backpacking and travel around nonstop, and have no trouble in sub-zero wilderness, I have definitely opted out of housing and may or may not know something about what I’m talking about.

Believe it or not, people with ethics and willpower to follow through still exist. I have opted out of housing and opted out of having children, because the housing situation is unconscionable and refuse to participate in it (nor will I enrich people participating in it by paying their outrageous rates). I would never bring a child into this world as it is and where its going, so that is an easy one.

The same genocidal policies that enable resource extraction with complete disregard for local populations are the ones responsible (intentionally) for the abject poverty that renders these populations extremely vulnerable to weather events. Most Americans cannot comprehend that this level of poverty exists within their borders.

For example, these populations have to be spread across massive ranges of completely worthless land, making infrastructure extremely inefficient even in scenarios where they have the financial means to invest in it whatsoever (which is also rare for all the same reasons^)
We don't have to guess because while a final NLRB ruling on the topic was not given (due to Damore withdrawing his labor complaint for unlawful termination), the published memorandum from Jayme Sophir regarding the case suggests strongly that judges would have ruled Damore's speech unprotected and, therefore, the termination legal.

I did not read the study, but the finding seems trivial and limited at the same time:

Anything you do to alleviate or prevent boredom that is not creative can be said to 'prevent reaping creative rewards' of boredom. Not just social media (or any media consumption, really) but also sports or calling a friend or helping in a soup kitchen. If you didn't do it, you'd feel boredom, and might pick up something creative instead.
$ income values are totally and utterly meaningless without context, and so are their averages. $10K/yr is a fortune in Cambodia.

For sure. I get the appeal of Having Everything Organized. It's conceptually compelling. But I think the right way to look at it is in terms of minimizing total cost of retrieval and filing.

As an example, take physical paper. Receipts, bills, anything that ends up in one's mailbox and doesn't immediately get recycled. I used to oscillate between two approaches: over-elaborate filing systems and just ignoring the problem and letting the mail pile up in snowdrifts.

Eventually I realized that my love of elaborate systems was a giant fucking problem for my actual life. I thought about it like I was designing a production system. I very rarely needed to retrieve old documents; most of it was for "just in case" conditions. I needed to frequently file things, and if the cost of filing was too high, I wouldn't pay it. So I bought 8 filing boxes, each 3 or 4 inches high and big enough to comfortably hold legal-size paper. Each one is marked with a year, and almost everything for that year just gets tossed on top. A few exceptional kinds of paper then have their own separate file folders (e.g., tax documents, my current landlord, key retirement paperwork, key medical stuff). Once a year I throw out the contents of the oldest box and relabel it.

This works great. It turns out I almost never need anything from an old box. When I do, it's a quick rummage in one spot. With infrequent, hard-to-predict retrieval, storage-optimized organization is the best organization.

Wonderful film.
I was careful to speak in general terms. I am absolutely not expressing an opinion about that movie at all.

I saw and enjoyed the first installment of Knives Out. I don't have a beef with the filmmaker, or the series, or the actors, or the genre.

I'm just saying that detective fiction in general should follow a certain formula and if you stray too far away from it, most of the time, it doesn't turn into a wonderful new recipe but simply fails. In general.

Is it the case for this film in particular? I have no idea!

I’m not interested in retribution, but I am highly interested in reducing future crimes against members of society.

If rehabilitation fosters that more effectively than exclusion after an episode of law-breaking, I’m interested.

Data that I’ve seen so far does not suggest that, but showing “released prisoners have a lower or equal rate of subsequent law-breaking than the average member of society” would be extremely compelling.
I agree and I guess I wasn't clear in my comment. It didn't work for me, but for other people and/or use cases it might, no doubt.

Seeing others quit TfTs and intricate zk systems on HN helped me realize that I should probably do that too, again given my situation. So, just sharing my experience, not trying to preach :)

Sure you can take measures to mitigate the economic and social forces fragmenting and atomizing communities. But on average, a culturally and religiously homogenous community, where people have multi-generational kinship ties, is going to be more cohesive than a diverse community without multigenerational kinship ties.

Your standard of “bringing over brownies” is a low one. We have a pretty close community given that nobody is from here and nobody attends the same civic or religions institutions. But it’s nothing like a Bangladeshi enclave in Queens or town in Iowa. Even when we lived in Dhaka, a city of millions of people, our community was more tightly integrated thanks to family ties and shared culture. It’s a profoundly different experience to live in a community where people’s parents know each other.

I don’t know much about Norman Rockwell. Wikipedia says he was a “staunch liberal.” I get that liberals enjoy novelty for its own sake, travel, and find it stifling that tight-knit communities can more easily enforce social and moral norms. But most people don’t see the world that way. They don’t want their kids to move thousands of miles away in pursuit of economic opportunities. They want to live near childhood friends. And the community enforcing shared moral and social norms (especially on their kids) is a feature, not a bug.

Millions have the same 'bendy body' disease as my daughter
I don't know anything about refugees immigrating into the US so I can't refute your story in any way, but one thing worthy of note is that Dutch names often include geographical areas with "van de/van der/van" (meaning "of, from") as an insertion ("tussenvoegsel") between first and last name . "van der Sluis" would be a perfectly normal Dutch name. I also wouldn't think twice about "van der Hoek" if I heard someone introduce themselves by that name.

Many people had to pick surnames when the French occupied the Netherlands, often leading to geographical names, references to occupations, or sometimes even jokes ("Naaktgeboren" being relatively common, meaning "born naked"). The forefathers of someone named "van der Sluis" could have lived near a sluice/lock, lived near a place called Sluis, or perhaps operated sluices/locks as part of their job in the barging industry.

English speaking countries where last names consisting of multiple words were incredibly rare often concatenate(d) such names into one or fewer words. To many English speakers the only name with multiple words would imply nobility (if they even considered the concept at all) and I wouldn't expect nobility to arrive amidst refugees either. To this day some American websites refuse to take the space in my last name.

As an added bonus, Dutch names specifically can have "tussenvoegsels" that are part of the name but need to be treated specially to be used correctly (i.e. when sorting a list of names). Depending on if the name belongs to a Belgian or a Dutchman the capitalisation rules also differ (the Flemish capitalising the "Van", the Dutch using lowercase letters). Of course other languages and cultures also have their own naming schemes with grammar rules (take German/Austrian "von" or Danish "af/de/von" for example); it's hardly a unique concept, but the details differ between countries.

It's no wonder those poor American immigration workers couldn't make heads or tails out of the names these people brought into their country. As a Dutchman, the end result is often quite interesting to witness when Americans or Canadians with Dutch names appear on TV, most names containing their own special deviation from "normal" Dutch names.
