Why quantify? Do we need to come up with a rigorous method for assigning how much fame a person ought to have based on their accomplishments?

Yes, fame can be quite silly and doled out unfairly but the pushback trying to claim individuals who did trigger these paradigm shifts aren’t all that valuable is likewise silly. There is plenty of room between the extremes.

Contribution is an exponential distribution, you don’t get by by cutting out the few who contribute a lot or the many who contribute a little.
> 3. Rules in life are just constructs that we as humans have created.

> Starting a business helped the most on this one. That's when I started to see that "rules" or "procedure" are all made up and exceptions can always be made.

This is a big one that I learned through the same experience. Everything is arbitrary, the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

It made me appreciate those who recognize this, and in turn treat others well, even when shit hits the fan metaphorically, and I have absolutely zero tolerance for bullshit hoop jumping and assholes. I know you don't have to play by that book, so I won't, and I'm happier for it.
NLRB Act remedies are basically make-whole remedies to the adversely impacted employees. So, yes, small and medium sized companies that harm the same number of employees in the same way as a large company get the same consequences.
This is truly fantastic.
I was so baffled years ago by a man on the street series of interviews where people in a Liberal US City were asked if they had any republican friends or if they would be friends with such. Most said no. I also know a US lady who echo's this. Today my YouTube feed is filled with both conservatives and liberals (most of which voted republican)
My politically active friends in California are like WTF is wrong with the Democratic party in New York.

I agree that the coding challenges are quite different from real world application of code, they always catch me a bit off guard as the type of problem to be solved is so far from what I've solved before. It's fun though, and I enjoy the challenge even when I get a bit stuck. Thanks for your comment.
> what I would expect is that the US, Australia, and New Zealand would pay for it to maintain good graces with these nations

Right. The business model is sympathy money from big governments. Practically, that means re-selling to a government contractor. A contractor for whom this is an afterthought, and who has a million other providers to choose from, some of whom don’t need to make money.

> a good stick for beating up on China as they're one of the main offenders in IUU

The countries being harmed by this are in no position to beat up on China. The ones who can don’t care about it enough to make it a diplomatic priority.

Great summaries and explanations, I particularly like the debunking of common copyright myths.

One question I've had about copyright is, suppose you start with a large source file that is MIT or BSD licensed, and then changed it quite substantially - say translate it from Fortran to C++, refactor large functions into smaller ones, delete code you don't need, rename variables and function names from 6- character obscure names to reasonable ones, reorder functions to eliminate forward declarations, add dynamic memory management functions, etc. - are you still forever obligated to keep the original attribution? Perhaps no single line remains the same, but the algorithm is still the same as the original. Does the code have "memory" of its origins? At some point has it changed so much as to be an original work?

Personally I'd be happy to keep crediting the original authors. But from a business legal perspective, anything with external authors or copyright markings causes concern and trouble, so I'm just curious what the bounds are. Any thoughts?
> So there should be significant debate even within the progressive bubble.

Why? There are no new government mandates on the horizon, and it's not one of the biggest issues in the world for progressives.

> That likely means that a lot of people in the bubble disagree yet are afraid to express that.

Or maybe they're just a lot less interested in this debate than the vehement anti-maskers?
Good point about banks, however they also have teams of people monitoring for any potential issues!
Does it run Doom?
What does Nate Silver have to do with this? The article never mentions him, and he left the NYT back in 2013 anyhow.
The Pete Buttigieg oppo research that ended his presidential campaign was also done by a local journalist months before it got picked up by the national media. I don't think this is especially uncommon.
Haha, wasn’t trying to do that at all. More just “does knowing that X person uses a particular password manager make them more vulnerable”. I’m not in cybersecurity and I know they discourage security by Obfuscation so perhaps not sharing password manager deets falls under that dubious practice and I worry for nothing.
"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they traveled through the computer. Ships, motorcycles. With the circuits like freeways. I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day... i got in."
The most popular humanly constructed narrative these days in the US is that representation is everything so I tend to agree with your point. There is an interesting immediate clash between the two.

Yes, it is an unfortunate reality of the world we live in, which some people choose to blissfully ignore. Go ahead and ask the Ukrainians how their hospitals and children are doing these days.

Thank you very much, and thanks for the link, yes indeed it shows Nonsuch as the nearest park so I will be gearing to join that soon.
I can answer this one. I have an AgTech startup that deals with sheep.

The industry is incredibly conservative (which I knew, having worked in it for over a decade) but on top of that, it's also incredibly insular. You get one shot to get something right. You get one short per year due to seasonality.

You better be prepared to travel a lot. In-person training is not negotiable for farmers using a piece of new technology. Often they will be trying to use it well out of any kind of network access, your tech better work off-line and you better be there in person.

Different countries with the same livestock often have wildly different ways of dealing with livestock. You have to be adaptable to the local practices, often whatever you are doing has to fit in with some other thing the farmer wants to do with the sheep, because they don't want to have to get them in the yards unnecessarily. That goes for the availability of labour as well, some places you will be overrun with helpers, sometimes it's just you and the farmer and you need to be able to adapt to that.

The tech has to be rugged. I used off the shelf Android RFID scanners for part of my project and we have broken nearly everything we have tried.

Compared to Australia/NZ, the US market is just about impenetrable for anybody outside of it. I did travel to Silicon Valley looking for investors but got nothing but blank stares and head scratches when it came to things like genetics. Silicon Valley is about the last place I would ever look for funding again as there are too many fools with their hands on the investment funds looking for dogshit fintechs or web3 stupidity rather than actual businesses.
Is there a cap? I actually have no idea how this amount was determined. It seems too low to persuade Google to change their ways but that's just like, my opinion, man.

How much would it take for Google to change their business practices? Say there was a tax on holding and using personal information. At what point does Google say "this isn't worth it"?
I think the original message is referencing Twitter polls.
Yeah, I have used espeak, flite tts, RH voice, and a couple of others and they work very well.
It is also related to laws impacting commerce.
That's a great perspective. I enjoy the idea that people can come in from the sidelines and change things because of their novel way of seeing things.
I just tried it with my own song submissions from a range of different genres, it works quite well.
If you read, the contract was not for the goods, the contract was about the policies of getting paid. The units was an estimate from the distributor about what was going to be needed later. There wasn't a contract about the goods. That's not how it works with a distributor anyways. The distributor is invoiced for the goods that they order, as they order them, and if you read the story, there were several orders. There is not a contract for all of the goods.
The bonus with mimic is that it runs reasonably well on constrained hardware (such as an RPi).
And it has a notes field. Has it always had that and I just never clicked through somehow!

I’m a little unclear on what is authentication here. You need iCloud password — if I lose my phone will I need my old PIN as well? I remember going through a bunch of “reset keychain” instances at one point because I somehow changed my PIN and misremembered it.

> When I know I'm going out on a hike, I pick really nice places to go, where there's beautiful scenery.

Now imagine doing that but instead of being limited by how far you can hike in the time, you can go further because you're running.

> I take my son, my nephew, and friends. We go to the pub afterwards.

Now imagine that even though it's an after work thing and maybe in the dark, you meet up with some friends and talk while you're running.
arguably quite the failure of his opponent.
Shamirs still requires having the (single) private key present for signing.

Multisig is far superior for Bitcoin security. The keys can remain geographically separate at all times. Each signing operation requires only the partially signed transaction (PSBT) and the other public keys.
Thank you. That's hopeful.
OK, but it's not February anymore. If they really have "no hope of getting anywhere", then why continue? Just as they have no hope in Finland, they have no hope in Ukraine. They once thought they did, but that was 10 months ago.
> the loss of their important revenue streams that are causing an existential crisis for the company seem to be primarily about losing people with "softer" jobs like compliance and advertiser relations.

Its mostly related to gaining a new CEO, and the resulting instability imposed by that CEO, not the presence or absence of particular subordinate staff. (Heck, a lot of it happened based on the discussions and purchase offer created uncertaintu, when all the staff were still there.)

This is a super big point. A lot of autonomy is realizing that you can do things and having experienced various ways of transportation makes a huge difference.

If you never rode the bus or subway growing up they’re very intimidating to get used to.
Should be noted, a lot of phobias are common but trypophobia is not one of them. There are hardly any case studies where pattern-based imagery has actually sent someone into fight-or-flight the same way that spiders or heights can. Most of the time when it's discussed on the internet it's a rather mild disgust/horror reaction rather than a clinical phobia. It's possible the term has only gained popularity from internet communities where people intentionally share wacky images, which isn't exactly a useful support group.

That's not to say it's not possible, just so extremely rare that it's not a reasonable design consideration.
Social constructs aren't less real than other tangible concepts. For instance, I used to complain a lot about the non-sense that's to wear a tuxedo in weddings. I was the typical kid saying that I would like to go wearing my best sweatpants to weddings, and that probably my sweatpants are more expensive than some of the tuxedos there. Then, I matured and realized that what we wear have a meaning, wether we like it or not. It's like words, maybe you don't like the definition of the word "car", but using an alternative word would be useles since nobody else would understand you. So if you care about the people getting married and you want to communicate it you need to wear the damn tuxedo.
Where are you seeing job ads that provide the name of the hiring manager (!) and a direct phone number (!!) for human resources?

What jobs even issue phone lines to employees anymore?
Earlier you said "claiming how we should still wear masks", and now you're discussing mandates. I don't think it's contradictory to be opposed to mandates of something you support.

As far as my opinion goes, we should still wear masks, but mandates just turn people into petulant children and aren't worth the trouble.
It does lay out the grounds for restricting employees from discussing pay and had been enforced that way. It is worded in a way that has a much larger impact that just unions.
It would be rather pointless to protect workers' rights to organize without protecting their rights to discuss their compensation.
You as well. Appreciate your time. Have a good one
Digging up news is literally their job, and the NYT is one of the best-resourced media outlets in the world. This was right in their backyard, even though it was outside NYC.

Having said that, even Santos' opponent did a terrible job of campaigning against him, despite the fact that he's president of a PR firm. He was on Twitter the other day trying to look tough and demanding a rematch until being shamed into silence by his own increasingly-former supporters.
Well.. yeah. If you bough a samsung phone, and it was full of shitty adware and preinstalled apps, would you expect their tablets, smart tvs and fridges to be any different? And are they?

I hadn't considered that last idea of yours before, thank you.
Listen, I would prefer if the article actually named names or gave examples supporting any of the statements therein, but it doesn't. The author leaves us to guess with the innuendo he's left.
Genuine question: why does it matter?
Maybe not that much info, but a lot of job postings on LinkedIn now have information on who the hiring manager is and sometimes encourages you to reach out.
I agree with you there. The experience I was thinking of here involved taking a codebase which wasn't modular enough and making it modular. So the "big scary change" involved changes to the module boundaries (which are the only thing I bother with type hints for anyhow).

Perhaps your employer received money from the pandemic “corporate giveaway” bills that were passed? Or perhaps they are a rare breed that choose to willingly lose money?

Either way I see no evidence that there are “a lot of companies that did everything they could to keep people employed” when it meant them losing money or not benefiting from corporate government welfare to keep people employed.
I use Apple’s Health app; it connects to my medical provider’s Epic system. Epic is like the Oracle or SAP of the enterprise medical records world with 300 million patient records.

All test results are automatically downloaded.

The Health app acts as a repository of data; a user can grant access to 3rd party health apps to analyze specific chunks of data if desired.

Apple makes available onboard machine learning hardware + APIs; using them, apps can at least provide guidance for certain conditions, maybe even before your doctor knows.

I suspect Apple will continue to innovative in this area, especially as they add more sensors to the Apple Watch and AirPods and make better use of the existing sensors.
The difference is that the user is still in control here, rather than having Microsoft foist another thing on them that makes it harder for the user to control their own machine.

This is Your Brain on Cheese (2017)
Why don't humans drink pure H2O? Science tells us this is the pure definition of water, but H2O doesn't actually meet our needs.

Audio amplification for humans requires similar deviation away from 'purity' and engineered precision, we need distortions, nonlinearities, and other 'additives.'

Is this driven by the flawed nature of how our bodies capture and translate sound?

Is it inherent in how the human brain interprets these signals for the conscious mind?

Or does the answer lie somewhere in how music engages with our souls through all these steps?

A thousand flame wars will find no answer better than what the continued celebration of tube amplification demands; the devoted will abide no other. This truth drives a moment of respectful consideration of those who have endured the longest journey toward audio nirvana, for ignorance is not likely their weakness.

Internet discussions don't scale.

I think we are at the end of the road, it has already become impossible to have honest debate about something online. Some of us maintain the illusion that things will return to a somewhat more bearable state but it is futile. I think newer generations know it's not going to happen.

I fear that AI will lead to people basically talking to themselves and to their imaginary perfect friends. This will make people even nastier, and somewhat alien to each other. But maybe that's the natural course of things
every employer ive had has been clear about this. in mid 90s i worked at a electronics store called circuit city. had coworker get fired after discussing hourly pay. in 2000s i worked gas stations and hotels. same thing. went back to school and first white collar job discussing salary was not allowed and they say so at orientation training.

> Seeing that a philosophy major can have a successful programming career, can encourage others in the humanities to see themselves do it too. Or seeing someone with ADHD run a business successfully and overcome executive function challenges, can also help others with ADHD.

These are great call outs. The definition for representation can be highly nuanced and very personal. This is not to say that issues like race and gender aren't important and don't need support. Just that there are so many things that people bring to the table that can make them feel like "the other" which holds them back. It's surprising how lack of role models can lead some people to think it's not feasible or not even possible.
The problem is people don't use the cheap money to build more. They are being showered with it and then laws prevent building housing. It looks like a money problem because money moves faster than real estate but this isn't a 2022 problem, it is a problem that has been creeping up since the 70s.

Elk systems have a similar option called (iirc) cross monitoring. When enabled, two motion zones must trip within (e.g.) 2 minutes before the area will alarm. They could be sensors covering nearby rooms (and catch someone walking from one to the other) or have different angles of the same room. Either way, it's quite resistant to false positives.
