You missed that it's a totally different statistic. Even if it was 100% of reported sexual assault on children is by family members, it could still be that incest between consenting adults is more common.
I'm in Australia so...

Australian state and federal governments subsidised fossil fuels to the tune of a staggering $11.6 billion in 2021/22.

Should student drug dealers receive state and federal funding for their education?

Yep.

Drug dealers are providing a public service, taking on a fair amount of risk to deliver a service the community requires.

Nothing makes much sense.

If all we've got is opinions, let's go with mine.

P.S. I didn't down vote your comment, I up voted it because I engaged with it.
A public (historical) WHOIS dataset is a nightmare due to GDPR et al., though, isn't it?

You couldn't opt-out of WHOIS (some TLDs just didn't allow for WHOIS privacy / proxy registrations) in the past, and it's IMO quite a hard sell that the public interest in the historic WHOIS data of some personal website should have any weight at all in this case.
Yeah, here's a story about one of the incidents https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11234589. I believe there was another. But I guess even in spite of this, it's not fair to say it's crappy :). My bad!

Using file globbing isn't exactly 'best practice' for CMakeLists.txt files though ;)

(and while Dear ImGui is definitely manageable, you still need to decide what to include in your project, for instance: why add imgui_demo.cpp)
Back in 1999, I used to wait 1h for building our CRM server solution from scratch, written in a mix of C and TCL, while taking advantage of ClearMake optimization to share object files across the build machines.

So nope, no FUD, rather production deployment experience.

Naturally if one plans to use C as a scripting language, in tiny projects, maybe it doesn't matter.
Large Language Models as Corporate Lobbyists
ChatGPT can give you bad answers to good questions or good answers to nonsense questions. With ChatGPT it's more like "sometimes garbage".
> Because having something priced as "free" is distorts the market.

Only if you consider the "market" to only take price into account - which is a very simplistic model that most people don't adhere to.

You pay for things with your money, time, attention, and personal information. The only problem with the current market is that, while it's extremely easy to see monetary prices (due to effective government regulation, I might add), it's far more difficult (or impossible) to see those other three "prices". Were they equally visible, there would be no problem.

> There's plenty of experiments with people having to choose between something that is $1 in price difference and when both options are paid, people make a rational choice. However, when one of the options is free and the other cost 1$, a disproportionate amount of people choose the free option.

What's happening here is just a "rounding down" of a particular cost to zero, which isn't relevant if the associated cost isn't close to zero. Specifically, if the two options are (1) pay $1 for thing and (2) pay $0 but expose your IP address to the website, the latter option will get rounded down to zero the vast majority of the time because people usually don't care about their IP address being seen. However, if the two option are (1) pay $1 for that thing and (2) pay $0 but give them your real name, mailing address, email address, phone number, and SSN, and the buyer is aware of that upfront, there will not be the same asymmetry, because that private information does not round down to zero.

The correct solution is to regulate transparency such that, alongside the "free" sticker price, consumers see a very clear warning label "you will provide your full name, email address, and phone number, and these will be sold to 17 parties[link] for advertising purposes" - in other words, actually expose the privacy cost as part of the "sticker price" alongside the monetary cost.
You have to account for percent of global GDP, the fact that there was a big covid recovery between 2020 and 2022, and the fact there is inflation in the USD.

If you look at the overall trend, trade is a percent of GDP globally peaked in 08 and it's actually been on a slow decline ever since then.

Hey Matt,

Firstly, congratulations! This is very inspiring and I love the pragmatic approach to starting a startup. You wrote about converting to a contractor with Help Scout from being a full-time employee. How did it help you free-up your time?
Potentially interesting that the E-Myth series of books on entrepreneurship essentially asserts that the company itself is documentation because processes that can be readily and reliably communicated to employees are at the core of consistent value generating operations.
Not dead at all, just changing.

And depending on your definition free trade either always had been dead, or is something you kinda really don't want as a normal citizen or isn't dead but not thriving but also had been that way for most countries since decades.
Yup. I don't know what kind of mentality wants to punish users for rejecting ads. I guess you have to take the view that the ads are more important than the content.

But what does that say about the content? To me, it says that the content is worth even less than the ads I'm already deliberately blocking.

Many companies seem to put the company website under the control of marketing. That's OK, until the marketing department goes megalomaniac, and decides that all company operations amount to marketing. So much for the website.
After using ChatGPT for a bit, when it comes to business interactions, I feel completely naked if I don't run something by it before sending it out to a broad audience via email for example. I can definitely see a lot of business-related content trending towards this genericism in the article as a method of making the communicator appear as "correct" as possible.

To try to clarify my argument: when money is on the line, like people's perception of you at a company, you want to put your best foot forward. So why not run something through ChatGPT as insurance to make sure that happens?

Sometimes it can even be fun. I've gotten a surprising number of upvotes with no supporting comments in the past on here, presumably from others too afraid to speak up.
Who thinks the US will ever have a single privacy/data regulation law, or if there will be this patchwork of regulations for individual industry sectors driven by disjoint agencies?

Honestly don't know and can believe either way. Leaning towards the latter currently.

Obesity drugs treat a North American symptom - obesity. The cause remains untreated.
My friends all decided to try mushrooms together back in college, thankfully I decided not to participate. One of my friends did not respond well and has never been the same since.

He had a kind of psychotic break, became violent, and poured juice all over himself during the course of a very unpleasant sounding afternoon. He was definitely changed after that day and is no longer part of our friend group because of it. Every time we see him now he mentions the healing powers of crystals, and sometimes mentions that he hears voices. I think doing mushrooms definitely triggered some kind of schizophrenia in him.

It’s totally scary and put me off trying it forever.

I wonder if Oregon will see a rise in things like schizophrenia?
Incorrect.

They are free to charge for the service.

They are not free to use personal data without consent.
No matter where OP works, they would depend on open-source software. I think the question of dependency is without a doubt here.

My argument cannot be used for server hardware, because, after all, Google has to pay for that.
Ahem.

Sources should be in the show notes of the corresponding podcast episodes.
It seems like it should be possible to have a variable rate phone charging cable with just a simple switch and a few resistors.

Instead of hastening the demise of a phone battery by fast charging all the time, select fast, regular or slow charge, depending on your circumstances, with the selector switch.

Just looked around, but couldn't find anything already existing though. Seems like something that would already exist on Aliexpress.
And the converse of "Literally" is, or should be, "Illiterally", I think, I don't know, literally.
>Completely random engineering layoffs are happening today

My gut is telling me that the "randomness" is intentional to eliminate, minimize, and/or mask any potential bias in the process.
That's the historical progression, not the teaching progression. That's the point. Integrals were conceived over 2000 years ago. Derivatives came Newton-ish. Formalism with limits came last.
I don't know how 3/5 multisig with collaborative custody would be less safe by orders of magnitude.

At this point we'd both need to go do extensive research at the levels of a full time job to really prove one way or the other.

Suffice it to say we disagree and you seem to have much more trust in institutions than I.
Not the OP, but: Protobufs are much more complicated on the implementation side than JSON. You at minimum need a protobuf library and a spec for your data that's shared on client and server. Migrations are also a lot more work because you may need to keep around every version of your protobuf in every client and/or server, depending on how synchronized the two are (i.e., if you can guarantee all clients and servers are upgraded 100% synchronously, as on a web site, then it's not so bad, but if clients are apps or peers that may or may not be upgraded, then the server may need to speak many different versions of a protobuf).

These all qualify as "more heavyweight," at least from an implementation perspective.
If people don't care, then why is legislation being passed? There is little monetary benefit to a government to unilaterally enact this kind of legislation without public support or legitimate concern for public safety.

Privacy and data mining by corporations is a huge topic of discussion these days. Because the conversation doesn't enter your bubble, it doesn't mean it's not happening. You should look around more, find some diverse news outlets and actually get a sense of public opinion before making claims about it.
You said, "Nobody is talking about it because it is still politically incorrect in our overall culture" and then cited CNN as an example. I provided an example where CNN is talking about the issue seriously. What I'm saying is, you're wrong about it being "politically incorrect" and that "no elites will talk about it". In fact, Powell is talking about it and being reported by CNN!

Furthermore, Trump and Bernie both ran strong campaigns on the question of globalization. As president, Trump took steps against globalization. A far cry from "politically incorrect" or something the public isn't debating. Likewise, today steps are being taken by Biden to onshore more industries, again clearly not "politically incorrect."

As far as "it's still not a popular opinion" I guess I don't know what that means. Taking my points above, it seems like we're actively debating the subject as a society with proponents on both sides. As I argued before, I think the "anti-globalization" crowd has yet to make their case convincingly. If it's just "a little less globalization, please" -- well then how is "globalization dead?"
Done since the mid-1960's :) but, nevertheless, always an interesting read!

This is classical (as in pre-GPU AI/ML) Image Processing. The reference text book in the field, "Digital Image Processing" by Gonzalez et al, shows how to do it: like the pioneers at JPL's Image Processing Laboratory (est. 1965) denoised Mars pictures from the Mariner probes using Frequency Domain methods like the posted article uses - see an example below.

That's not true though if you look at at global "happiness" studies, it's not the countries with the highest individual material wealth which typically come out on top, but the countries with the least wealth inequality, usually the Scandinavian countries.
MBP is miniLED, with LCD as a primary light modulator and a relatively (compared to older local dimmed displays) high-resolution backlight. I.e. you have 3456‑by‑2234 LCD pixels that filter light, but like 300-by-100 light sources (LEDs) behind it.

MicroLED (uLED) is still an exotic technology, it’s in principle similar to OLED, but with inorganic LEDs. It has better color rendering and less burn in problems, but is difficult to manufacture for now.

Basically, display technology names are deceptive, similar names may mean completely different things.

It really is, though, about correcting cosmic wrongs, because it is the world view you must first hold to believe something "unjust" is occurring when someone voluntarily bargains to work long hours for lower pay to be able to work their dream job. The next step is to pass legislation or push for judicial or executive action to try to "correct" for the injustice. The U.S. already has several very counter-productive pro-union labor laws it has accumulated over the years, and, under democrat presidents like Obama and Biden, the NLRB rules heavily in favor of unions:

"Biden has already publicly declared he supports changing federal policy so that “there is no Right to Work (laws) allowed anywhere in the country.” President-in-waiting Kamala Harris, likewise, was bitterly critical of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2018 decision in Janus v. AFSCME, which outlawed mandatory union membership and payment of dues and/or so-called “agency fees” for government employees."

These laws and actions don't make the world more just. On the contrary, they just add new injustices on top of the old ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzYgiOC9cj4

Yeah... The issue lies in cases where the decomposition is so extreme, that you end up not able to deploy independently.

And any benefit of a microservice owning it's own rDB is still, that schema changes aren't easily reversible. Specially when new, non predefined, data has been flowing in.

Stateless microservices are great, in the sense that you don't have to build multiple versions of APIs... but stateful microservices are just a PITA.
It's not hard. There is type of inverters that called "Hybrid inverter", I have one that can keep power off-grid or on-grid or even on-grid in import mode only (so only import any needed power without exporting...), and it can work off-grid even without battery (from solar) but that is not recommended unless you know that your load is much smaller than the solar output, even small lead-acid battery can mitigate this issue.
The way the inverter work is that when the grid goes off it will automatically switch the power export off and keep the load running from solar and/or battery in isolated mode.
In a sunlit room, or to be able to be seen outdoors in full sunlight, yes. For normal indoor use in a non super brightly lit living room, no.
"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail."

Frontend frameworks like React are used everywhere. For real web applications like Facebook, they totally make sense. But for a lot of other projects, they don't because those projects do not have a complex UI/UX and so the framework adds more complexity than needed.

No different than the commercials on broadcast tv before targeting.

Remember that in total no more diapers are sold regardless of these commercials, they just cause consumers to buy a specific brand. If advertising diapers no longer works, they’ll all just stop advertising and be better off.
Well then openly ask users for consent. EU law does - in absolutely no way, shape or form - forbid targeted ads. What it does is it forces companies to specifically ask for consent before collecting data for such things and people must know that they're consenting to data collection specifically for ads.
Diluting the value of advertising is a great thing! If it is truly a waste of money to buy advertising, manufacturers won't spend on it, and then none of us will have to watch dumb adult diaper ads, or pay extra money for our adult diapers to cover the advertising budget.
I do not see what an instagram post has to do with putting porn in children's content feeds, thats a non-sequitur.

The fact that a website has 'tube' in it is yet another non-sequitur. It does not follow.
I'm aware of that program, but I think it has some problems. It only happens twice a year, there's a lot of process involved that dissuades people from bothering, the amount of money involved is tiny, and the awards only go to individual people, not general funds for open source projects. What I'm suggesting would be a LOT more total money and would be a continuous process (make the limit $250/quarter).
> Even more so, given the societal unrest seen in the USA. Just baffling.

To be fair, the social unrest of the US fueled by social media & advertising is now exporting itself to other countries - starting with the English-speaking ones (since the content can be reused as-is) but it's just a matter of time before it consumes other countries too.

> If you throw away the ability to have middleware on specific routes you've really caused a big problem. The Go ecosystem is fairly dependent on that.

Agreed! Pushup pages compile down to structs that implement http.ServeHTTP. And an entire Pushup app is just a http.ServeMux too. So it should be trivial to insert middleware (although there isn't Pushup syntax for that yet), and/or embed a Pushup app in a larger Go app (this is quite possible today).
You're able to safely post that stupid comment because of soldiers and Pax Americana.
Thanks for pointing this out, I just replaced it with exit(1).
My comment was meant as a statement of opinion and a discussion-starting-off point, certainly not a statement of fact. Social "science" is incredibly hard, certainly nothing I'm saying is incontrovertible - it's very loosely held if held at all.

The Economist article was meant for associated reading of this strand of thought, not proof of what I am saying.

> What I will say is that, as an erstwhile European it brings me great joy to see the EU causing so many headaches for international tech companies in the name of consumer protection. Just my opinion.

I think [strides in average peoples' well-being] is worth celebrating more so than [schadenfreude and the righteous downfall of the evil]. Nietzsche wrote extensively on the flaws of the latter moral tradition in Europe (again, only offering an opinion).

While I agree with your sentiment, studying abstract algebra at the undergraduate level we never got more than a broad sketch of a proof of the general insoluability of the quintic. It more seemed an opportunity for the professor to tell the life story of Galois -- mathematical genius and political firebrand killed in a duel over a woman at age 20.

That being said, it is difficult to find a motivating example for much of elementary abstract algebra -- which is doubly hard, because for many students abstract algebra is a new level of abstraction, math without numbers and it takes something to make that leap.
My girlfriend just bought a Hisense Fire TV from Amazon and it has a basic mode you can choose at setup. Choosing basic mode allows use of OTA, HDMI inputs and a limited number of apps. She enabled basic mode but not because of any privacy concerns. She just doesn't like Fire TV and uses a Roku 4K streaming device which she moved from her dead Samsung TV to it.
The garbage is in the source material used to create the model, not the questions.
It's hard to call something politically incorrect when the last American presidential election was a contest between explicitly protectionist, anti-globalization candidates. Morris Chang wasn't predicting the future so much as recognizing a fait accompli.
That’s my understanding as well. Point 4 being the key factor. They would have to ask, and give a clear yes/no option, on whether the user wants ads to be personalized based on their previous activity on the app (which posts they have liked, how many seconds they spent looking at posts, etc.) Otherwise, the ads would be based solely on the context that they are displayed in. Which seems perfectly fine to me.
