It's not a problem immediately but that's the thing when you are talking at scales like this it is a matter of decades not years to forecast issues. If the remote work hypothesis holds true that means the biggest advantage silicon valley had, a high concentration of engineers and founders is no longer there it's dispersed all across the country and the competitive advantage begins to evaporate at the same time VC money is drying up because of an economic contraction.

You can continue to believe and argue that it isn't happening and that Cali is still a great place and continue to cover your ears and scream at the reality but the fact is that when I moved a year or so back the new church I started attending was composed about 1/4 of people that had left California in the past few years, with it moving to 1/3 if we include Oregon and Washington. (And no it's not some sort of sampling bias that Californians love my Church) all of them described the various problems with CA that make it sound pretty much unlivable. So continue to believe there is no problem. It seems that Silicon Valley insists on relearning the lessons of the rust belt.

Interesting theory but I ultimately disagree. I could have ideas that apply to my country on a national level, but not much input for the local scene specifically. I think these are completely different skillsets in fact.

>> But if you rush your ideas to the global audience, you’re adding to a huge trash pile

You're expecting too much altruism here. I don't care if "I'm adding to a huge trash pile".

>> the alternative, resignation such as you have displayed, is repulsive.

It's more of a lack of interest. Small fish in a big pond vs big fish in a small pond, etc.
There are “kingmaker” senators in both parties that cross the aisle occasionally, that this rule benefits (and also generally their specific constituents, since their outsize influence gets them more than they might otherwise get in negotiations.)

Given that these kingmakers are what causes things to go over 50-50 they want to preserve their power.
Do you know whether it's usual nowadays in industrial design to make curves that are actually smooth (I mean, derivatives of all orders are continuous) and not just C2? Or is it technically challenging for some reason, or not useful?
The difference is that election coverage includes tons of bias, including "calling" it for regions or states before final results are in, sometimes incorrectly, and with bias towards the preferences of whoever owns the channel/publication. This style of coverage is full of conversation and discourse and all it takes it recalling the night Trump won in 2015 where every single news channel except Fox was expressing disappointment and shock and surprise.
Why everyone thinks a recession is coming in 2023
Economists have been forecasting a recession for months now, and most see it starting early next year. Whether it’s deep or shallow, long or short, is up for debate, but the idea that the economy is going into a period of contraction is pretty much the consensus view among economists.
Again, to repeat my point (which I didn't think was very confusing), the things described in the small-point text are all fine. But they cannot in any reasonable world be summarized by the product name "Full Self Driving." Insofar as California is encouraging Tesla to name their products more accurately, that seems like an absolute good.

This point holds even if I don't go into the fact that both autosteer/autopilot (phantom braking problems) and FSD-beta (requires active driver control, disengagements every < 1 mile) are both kind of a mess. Or that the claims from Musk regarding capabilities and timing have been completely inaccurate.

What’s more amazing is that US states have more autonomy in the matter than EU countries.

Germany’s current legislation attempts are thwarted by EU which prohibits any legal market for the drug.

NL style decriminalization is OK because it’s still illegal, individual users are just not prosecuted and the state turns a blind eye on the shops.

But the shops have to get their supply on the black market - something Germany explicitly does not want.

But EU does not allow a legal market.

The bill seems to be ill-defined. 2.8kHz at 3dB point? 6dB? What are the limits for -40dB? -60dB?
Actually, they 100% do not recuse for this level of conflict.
I'm not sure why you believe otherwise, or what data you have to support.

Recusals are extremely rare, and it is common for judges to have SO's or children or .... in law firms that, at some point, represented someone before a judge, without the person having been involved.
Which is the case here.

They do not recuse.
So no, they do not "already do that".
If they did, it really would put a dent in the judge supply - there are not that many federal judges.

Even the Medallion Fund only averages 20-40% gains a year and they've stacked the deck with every possible advantage of resources and the most brilliant folks they can find. If the risk management on this is geared to the point where it's seeing 300% account volatility in a month, even in a positive direction, it's easier assign higher likelihood to

"this algo is levered far higher than it ought to be and while you've dodged landmines this month, you won't in the long run,"

vs.

"your 'minimum viable stat arb' and competent implementation outperforms the best-of-the-best outlier."

I think skepticism is warranted as most people at this point end up blowing up, but hey, I guess there's some slim possibility that it's the latter?
According to the article, that's not good enough for the FDA. As for why the FDA says it's not good enough, I don't know.

>Some companies include statements on labels that say a food "may contain" a certain product or that the food is "produced in a facility" that also uses certain allergens. However, such statements are voluntary, not required, according to the FDA, and they do not absolve the company of requirements to prevent cross-contamination.
Neither. Parents routinely send their kids to school with prohibited food items, including sweets and various products with nuts. I'm not allowed this privilege because of the extra scrutiny already on my kids due to their conditions.
If one person creates a new process to make $3 widgets cost $2 and sells a billion of them, while paying his manufacturers $1 per widget, he made $1 billion dollars and each of their 1 billion customers are $1 wealthier.

I think it is two parts alternative entertainment, one part childhood education.

When you have digital video, easy access to long distance travel, broadcast television and radio music, video games and such, the emotional impact of a clever turn of phrase is utterly lost. Families don't sit around and listen to someone sing or tell stories, we're all of entertaining ourselves in our own ways, letting the rest of the world be creative for us.

As for the education bit, kids learn the thinnest veneer of what poetry is- slap some rhymes together for homework and move on. I recall seeing a young poet at the white house a few years back that everyone was falling over themselves to praise, and... I didn't get it, at all. It was nothing more than a political screed masquerading as rhyming prose. Even the rhymes felt either forced or at the least uninspired.

On the other hand, there is this:

Definitely don’t want to Judge Ito one of the biggest financial crime cases of the decade.

Though, I couldn’t help googling the judge and she’s had some interesting cases lately involving various Trump related things. She had to recuse herself there as well because her husband was in talks with the Mueller investigation. I guess this is more common than I’d think for prominent DC connected families.
The work doesn't have to be unsupervised and doesn't have to be work where mistakes carry large negative risks. Think of it more as an extended tour / homestay with some participatory elements.

We know it is possible to do because WWOOFing has been a thing for a long time. The question is more if there is enough of a market to cover the increased costs and maybe loss of productivity.
Thank you for your reply and best wishes to your family! I know it can be a bit of an intrusive question, but how do people discover that children have a particular allergy? Do you get an epipen the same moment you have a newborn, just in case? Do you try some small amount or potentially cross contaminated food just to test? Do you discover it randomly and hope there is going to be enough time to get to ER? I have been lucky not to have it for myself, or a child, but how did you know?
The title of this is "Full Self Driving Hardware on All Teslas". The hardware is in fact on all Teslas. What part of that is fraud? Nothing about this video was misleading and the car did in fact drive itself through that route.
Not sure if this is anything ground breaking. I used to have a fear of talking to strangers, but as life would have it I had not choice but to get a customer facing job, which meant approaching strangers and talking to them.
It was terrifying, but after a couple of days I wouldn't even think about it. It became nothing.
Then after I left that job after a couple of months the same fear has come back and it was difficult again.
The top comment is spot on:

Very cool. You can 3D transform the image in Gimp to view the skull:

Obviously I don't disagree with you, but trust me, this mountain is far steeper than anyone tends to think. Medical science has absolutely zero clue why my body decided to become allergic to roughly 30 different foods at age 30 after a lifetime of eating whatever I wanted.

The reality is that we are decades away from solving this, if ever. Not to mention the vast majority of science is funneled towards child food allergies, which ironically are the only kind to go away. If the mechanisms involved were similar, I wouldn't have a problem, but it's very possible that child and adult food allergies have completely different causes. People such as myself who develop food allergies as an adult are very simply fucked.

Beyond that, just look at the sickening replies in this very thread. On the whole people view people like me as a nuisance and would rather us die than deal with whatever comparatively minuscule alterations to their lives required to accommodate us. You wouldn't believe the things people have done and said to me to my face. It's one of the more invisible disabilities for sure.
This sort of ignores the point - it all depends how you define conflict, which is where any meat of this sort of thing is.

There is no real conflict here.
At all.
By any definition you will find of a conflict, or any advisory opinions, or any caselaw.

That a family member once worked for a firm that, at some point in the past, may have represented a corporation that someone worked for (they aren't even sure), where the family member:

1. did not work on it

2. has no knowledge of it

3. wasn't even aware of this until informed.

is simply not a conflict.

Someone is always going to argue you should recuse.

While recusal is super-rare, recusal motions are not.

Someone will always try to paint a conflict about something!

So your theory on reputation doesn't work in practice - you are going to get smeared either way. That's the fun of being a judge.
Serendipitously, this tweet popped up almost right before I read your comment - https://twitter.com/ybarrap/status/1606319917229228032?s=46&...

Man, I got downvoted into oblivion for my comment, but seriously, yeah, graduate level.

That sounds fun. My most intense undergrad class series was one where we soldered together a M68HC11 computer and learned assembly one class, built an OS for it the next, and then turned it into a robot with control software running on our OS-es.
Curious - when did you introduce (or not) those foods to him? When/how did you discover the allergy? Could you walk us through this?
FSD beta is literally deployed to all Teslas that have purchased it.
> as a phrase without interpretation

That's not particularly productive: the meaning of the phrase is studied and covered ad nauseam by case law and scholarly (legal & ethical) literature.

Differences in dietary preferences is unlikely to ever be interpreted as a potential conflict of interest, although it's certainly not impossible. There would need to be "reasonable grounds" to think the judge was unable to hear both parties fairly. I know that this sounds a bit wishy-washy, but that's the legal system for you.

Yes, yes, yes.

I actually didn't love Adobe's standard, and I thought some of the criticism of it was warranted. But the overall feature would be very nice to have. I'm just not sure exactly how it should be approached.
----

If I can be greedy, I know these aren't necessarily great features to add, but I would love:

- an (optionally) less performant text-justification algorithm: Justified text on the web is basically unusable today, I think because of performance concerns with reflowing containers. There are scenarios though where I would be very willing to pay a performance penalty to get nicely justified text, even if I had to like mark a container in CSS as unable to resize/reflow or something.

- CSS vertex shaders/custom filters: This is never going to happen as far as I can tell because of privacy concerns, and I have no idea how to get around those privacy concerns, and it's a feature I would almost certainly turn off in my own browser for most websites, but... I still want them.

----

Also I'm hoping that 2023 is potentially the year where I can start to feel safer about using container queries: https://caniuse.com/css-container-queries. I think once they hit mainline Firefox, Chrome/Safari/Firefox will be good enough support that I'll be comfortable including them at least in niche projects and just using progressive enhancement and a slightly uglier style as a fallback for other browsers.
What do you mean you can confirm it? What if it's made in a factory with various conveyor belts, and some dust from one could get into another?
You're missing why people want to live here in the first place. It's one of the most beautiful places in the world, with one of the best year-round climates in the world. If prices start going down, people will move here. For those reasons.
That was my after thought, after I posted. From UX perspective it was surprising and unpleasantly vague.
It's been open source since 2007. Linden Lab recently moved the sources from Bitbucket to Github.

The Firestorm viewer sources are at "https://vcs.firestormviewer.org/". It's a major fork.

Technical documentation of the client-server protocol is at "https://wiki.secondlife.com/"
It's out of date, but it helps.

The real progress is that the build procedure has been cleaned up. It used to require ancient versions of Visual Studio on Windows. Firestorm can be built on Linux. I've built it and submitted patches that went in.

This is just the client side. The server is proprietary. But there's a compatible server, Open Simulator. It's not a clone; it's in C#, while the original is in C++.

There are meetings for third party viewer developers. Both inside Second Life, and on OSGrid, which is a third party grid of simulators. That really is the metaverse - a federated system of 3D worlds. It's sluggish, because most of the people running regions don't have enough server power. Think Mastodon for 3D.

I'm been writing a new client in safe Rust for the last two years. I'm trying to see how much can be done in parallel. The viewer isn't ready for public use yet. I've posted videos made with it.
I host my own email. I have been running email servers since the 1990s so it is not hard for me. I run postfix with SpamAssassin on a Debian VPS, and usually use alpine to read it. I have SPF records in my DNS and such.

I have not had trouble sending to Gmail. On important emails to Gmail addresses I BCC my own Gmail account. If my account does not get the mail I figure there is a problem. For me it always goes through.

My setup is stable. In the past ten years I had my current setup, but also other domains hosted via Google Mail, or by my hosting providers etc. They all had migrations, discontinuations etc. I migrate them all to my mail setup. I have no such hassles with the email servers I myself set up. It does not have large changes (by servers I mean the primary and queuing mail servers).

I have a lot of experience doing this though, not sure how hard it is for others, but it is a lot easier than the old days of configuring Sendmail with m4.
> I already pay for iCloud+ and it now supports custom domains and the like and has encryption, so I moved my email over.

I did this too (migrating from Google Workspace using imapsync¹) and it works great. Most people don't realize that Apple has been hosting email for decades and is quite good at it.

>Even the Medallion Fund only averages 20-40% gains a year and they've stacked the deck with every possible advantage of resources and the most brilliant folks they can find.

The Medallion Fund is also larger than a single quant's trading portfolio. This is important because a given trading strategy loses its effectiveness (in percentage terms) when scaled up. A strategy that yields 100% return on a 10k investment is unlikely to return 100% on a $10M investment, for instance.

I’ve found that being a native english speaker and offering to have quick calls/chats with those who are learning is a great way to chat with new people. I get to meet cool people from all around the world, it’s a great experience and I haven’t had to deal with any weirdos, unlike stranger chat websites where finding someone normal is a challenge. I specifically joined an English discord server, you’ll be surprised how many people will want to contact you if you just introduce yourself as a native speaker whiling to talk.

It is a current theory. It is far from being the current theory, and IMO a woefully insufficient one. I'm not a clean freak by any means and still developed a couple dozen food allergies as an adult. Ultimately the immune system is hopelessly complex and this will likely take decades more for us just to arrive at the right theory.

I used to hold a similar belief but my prediction was that they would do it in two parts: first decriminalize cannabis around the midterms, second, push for legalization around the 2024 election. Decriminalization could have come with talks about performing research, helping minority communities with policing, and allowing banks to work with state producers. Now I just don't think they are as good at political scheming as I thought and potentially that neither party is actually seeking a win so much as seeking drama.
Hu... I was wondering why my email address for social media got an uptick in spam over the last weeks.
"mostly corn syrup and water" is nonsense anyways - the main ingredient in any bread is flour made from wheat, rye, spelt, or similar grains.

Such a hyperbolic comment discredits itself instantly. Complaining about bread containing water is perhaps the most ludicrous - all bread contains a substantial amount of water, typically 50-85% of the amount of flour, with most bread around 65%.

Yes, there may be some poor quality bread out there, but it's not because it's "mostly corn syrup and water." A more reasonable complaint would be "I don't like this bread because it contains some corn syrup."
> and I'm not sure why you're confusing the two.

pegged you correctly.
Neat game, Works fine on chrome/firefox but is unplayable on edge due to lag.
Or when you don't listen to it.
I also seek out interactions with people I don't know. I'm quite practiced at making it natural and unscary for the other person. Usually never see them again, and that's ok and even desired. There's something very satisfying about it, like I'm sharing a moment with the same person each time but in a different recombination of the whole of us. I strive to keep a regular flow of such interactions coming and I find myself getting ambiguously down if they start to dwindle.
If your reaction is personal outrage at me rather than considering the issue at hand, you are probably too emotionally involved to form a useful opinion.
That's interesting, my friend with hip (and maybe knee) transplants walks like that, not straightening the joints fully.
It depends on your definitions of long-lived, successful, and non-technical but Canonical/Ubuntu and Mark Shuttleworth seem like an apt example.
