No, it has for the most part been "because servers paid based on their performance will perform better". The effects are easily observable in nearly any restaurant in the country - the servers are better than their European counterparts, whether in a fancy establishment or a tiny sandwich shop. 'Because they're paid less than minimum wage' is a straw man - the law that allowed that to happen was created in a pre-existing tipping culture that justified it on the merits.
Airbnb does this because fraudsters use it to cash out large amounts of money from stolen credit cards, they’re a lucrative target.

>I can't feel anything but contempt for such lowlife humans

Sounds to me like you could use some therapy, it's not good to have this much hatred inside.

It's ok if someone does something that bothers you, some noise or some smoke won't kill you, it's just perspective, objectively it doesn't hurt you in any way, but the reason it does is because you have these strong beliefs against it, so you basically choose to be hurt.

I travelled for hours next to a crying baby and didn't let myself complain about it, why would I? the mom knows he's bothering others, but what can she do about it? leave her baby behind or not travel? What if it's something important? have some sympathy for people some day you might be in their place.

Also your wife isn't allergic to smoke, cigarette smoke isn't an allergen.

I believe the USSR had a fairly conservative stance on those issues, favouring families. It's not religion but it is still social pressure.
That's ridiculous. Next you'll try to tell me that 9 women can't have 1 child in a month. Any corporate manager can tell you otherwise.

Of course there's a difference between bringing people with a degree for example and letting any kind of migration happen (which for the most part wasn't the case during the migrations of the XXth century to the US)

This is not to say immigration doesn't have its advantages and that criminal issues are not only due to recent arrivals (quite the contrary)

Have you read the article? Until recent years, "there is no relationship between the scale of refugee inflow and the crime rate". Now there's a (in my opinion) small increase in the probability that a crime is perpetrated by a foreigner, but this seems to be _mostly_ related to the demographics of immigrants:

> This was attributed by criminologists to the subgroup consisting of men aged 16–29 is disproportionately large at 34% of the total [number of immigrants] and that young males are overrepresented as criminals in all parts of the world, rather than to their ethnic origin.

It seems pretty clear to me that the benefits of immigration outweigh this, as long as the total amount of crime stays at a low level, which subjectively seems to be the case.
It's not just financial, there is also the geopolitical situation.
I have read alot of scifi, both good and bad, but PKD stands apart not in competition but as his own category. Not in a literary sense but by practicing what one might call therapeutic philosophy that aims to sooth the lack of answers to eternal questions.

I always wanted such thing for various "plumbing" services (DHCP/DNS/wifi controller etc) but lack of ECC and OOB management kinda disqualifies it for anything serious.

I don't object to a customer voluntarily deciding to toss a "parting tip" to Twitterific on their way out. I object to Twitterific not, by default, offering pro-rated refunds.

(It does seem from other responses here that doing so is just not possible on Apple's payments platform. That's pretty lame of Apple, IMO, but oh well.)
IQ tests are not useful to anything other than predicting social outcome on larger groups IMHO, well that and using it for what it was intended: measuring child development against peers in the same age group.

Trust me on this, once you stop caring about it, the easier your life will be. Without anxiety and imposter syndrome feelings, you can focus on what matters.

Besides, high IQ is nothing if you do not have social skills, soft skills are just as if not more important to get things done and to be happy.

the problem is not the decline in population itself but rather the aging. If/when the working population will be outnumbered by those who are retired we’ll have serious problems.

Do you consider vaping in this statistics? I can't find a definite answer.
Those kids are going to be coughing on you regardless of whether smoking is allowed or not.

Replying just because we had a basic GDPR training just yesterday. You can't do that and you are right about the deletion of data to a point, but once there are legal reasons (like in this case) you don't have to comply to the request to delete the data. But I would guess it would be too complicated to manage all this, considering the size of Bumble and where the incident happened and where Bumble is located.
I’m optimistic about robots increasing productivity, but I worry they won’t be used to uplift everyone equally. They seem well-poised to increase wealth disparity rather than reduce it. I would love to be wrong, though.

Sizing Up Neural Nets
I think both of this comment is needlessly hostile.

Like, starting the conversation with an accusatory comment of "hey, btw, did you think of this very super rare situation, or are you the evil exclusionary guy?" is kind of an asshole thing to do. Most people with sight don't encounter blindness often, so making someone feel attacked for not thinking about is just a way to generate hostility.

Having said that, I actually appreciate the content (if not the form) of this comment – it's pretty easy to accidentally block people from using your software, and accessibility reminders are an important thing. Though in this case human solution (have the waiter come and help) is probably better than software one.
It is not safe indeed, but since when we (as in "humans") started doing only safe things?
I'm guessing you've been smoking so long, you don't know what it's like to not live in polluted air. When you change an air filter, repaint a house, wash the inside of a car, you can immediately tell whether somebody is a smoker. It's fucking gross, and I suspect that it's not 1/5th, but probably 1/20th as often. "What makes me think that" is plain simple experience.

I don't have the full paper handy (and can't be bothered to look this up just for you) but the highlights should be enough for you on this one:

I'm not actually expecting them to be 100% reproducible. I'm more than familiar with the work required to do that.

What I'm expecting is not holding back the secret sauce, as seen in some (or many) publications.

My gripe is not limited to DL/ML/AI scope either. When I try to compare my results with the papers I cite, I generally can't find the formulae or the detailed method to reproduce the numerical method the paper claims, and this leaves us at the dark.

All I can do is saying "Paper23 cites these results, and we surpass them at this, we are even at that, and they are better at the other thing", which I'm not comfortable doing. Not because they are not telling the truth, but I want to test my method against other methods on an even ground.

> Haven’t seen any top down government interventions work at increasing TFR.

I believe this is because you won't see any effect until having kids is paid just as well as working any other job.

If you can choose between a regular job paying 100%, and an incredibly hard and demanding job paying 50%, you're going to pick the first option every single time. Increasing the pay to 60% isn't going to help. You need to be around 100% or above. And like with anything else in our economy, if you're not getting enough people to take that essential job, you need to keep increasing pay until they do.

So no matter how much government intervention, you're still only getting the share of people who want to have kids as a kind of hobby. Not because government intervention doesn't work at all, but because you get very little effect until you cross that threshold where having kids is a job that pays fairly.

I think parts of Northern Europe is close to that threshold, but there's still some ways to go. Parental leave needs to be a few months longer (there's often a gap between parental leave ending and kindergarten starting), kindergarten must be free, and financial support for parents needs to be quite a bit higher.
If this is going to be a contest of throwing anecdotes around, I literally have _multiple_ Win98 VMs on a single 256GB microSD (which is like, 30$?). And so do a lot of people who are in the target audience of TFA, whom boot their retro hardware from microSDs since it is definitely faster and even more reliable than era-accurate HDDs. And just plain more convenient; you can backup the entire HDD by copying the SD around in a fraction of the time it would take you to clone the HDD.

It just makes sense that the microSD would last longer. Even if you assume that it was the worst of the worst of flash memory and each cell would only last 100 times, that still amounts to 20TB of lifetime writes to the microSD. Windows would even use ridiculously large size cluster sizes on a 60GiB drive, so write amplification would be of little concern. You could install Windows 98 over and over continuously as max as allowed by the HDD speed (say 1hr per installation) for a decade and you would still have writes to spare. Paper envelope calculation caveat, but normally flash memory will have at least one order of magnitude more cycles.

Let's remember that 90s and early 00s HDDs are not remembered for their longevity, either (search for click of death).

It sounds insane that you need "rewards and punishments" for one human to be nice to another. Friendliness should be a natural by product of happy people in a good workplace.

I'd suggest a different tack, analyse what in the system has led to one person to be unfriendly to another, and solve it without assuming the buck stops with the individual as some type of perfectly free agent in a skinner box.

Proper pay, proper healthcare, leaders that lead by demonstration and treat colleagues with respect and a business that does not lead to angry customers by being scummy... are just table stakes for example.
> But we see that societies and systems can work -- sort of -- because we, collectively, with good judgment and sincere effort and appreciation for context and nuance, make them work.

In the spirit of this mini-essay, what happens when the centralised "collective we" goes berserk? Or treats some other parts of society as having gone berserk?

Also, and partially related to this, I'm surprised that not that many thoughts have been given to the fact that most of the anti-Covid measures, especially in the tech-heavy West (but not only, see also China or Singapore), were in fact pseudo-infosec measures "adapted" to real life. I mean many of us were forced to use our smart-phones plus some dedicated apps just to be let in inside a coffee shop, or a bookstore, or just to take the bus.
The feedback option would be shown on the customer’s phone the next time they open the app, in regards

If the customer ordered via the POS, it will be shown on the next visit, if they sign in with their phone number (which is used to save your order history for easy reordering).
I wonder if people pushing for stack ranking are justifying this in terms of natural selection. That is, even if the company is all top performers, periodically cutting bottom 1% or 5% or whatever is going to improve average performance even further over time.

This would make some sense if employees were like cells or fruit flies. But in most companies, employees are like organs. You can't improve a body by cutting out 5% of its organs and waiting for them to reappear. At best, you'll degrade the body's performance. At worst, the body will die.
Firstly, so that I can understand the strength of the correlation, can you pinpoint when "women were given freedom there" and what that consisted of?

Secondly, regardless of the cause of the lowered birth rate, do you agree that freedom for women is a fundamental and inalienable right, and that the problem is how society should advance so that birth rates and family formation go back up without rolling back freedon?
Nit: yes, it's true that making the iteration count high could actually make some devices unlock very slowly. BUT:

- This only occurs when performing key derivation, i.e. when you're unlocking. It does not matter once the key is in memory. Therefore, it's actually OK if it takes a few seconds. When unlocking with biometrics, the key derivation function is not used, so on mobile devices, this occurs even less often.

- PBKDF2 is very fast. A few hundred thousand iterations is not going to be a noticeable hitch on old SoCs anymore. I actually suspect the real problem was JavaScript/webextensions/the web vault. However, it's probably a non-issue now that all browsers have decent WebCrypto implementations with PBKDF2 support. The difference between JS and native code is very noticeable with cryptographic code. Even then, it might be less of a problem now with improvements to JavaScript engines and WASM.

I generally pick open source solutions over closed source ones, and Bitwarden does check that box, but to be fair, so does KeePass XC and compatible mobile companions. I like Bitwarden as an easy tool to recommend to friends, but for power users KeePass XC is certainly worth a look. They came out looking pretty good when security researchers began approaching ways to attack the clients themselves:

My observation here in the UK among my friends and family, we (mid 30s, with 4+8yo) are an outlier having two children. The norm is increasingly looking like single child families, and I believe it's mostly cost driven. They have no intention of expanding their family in future.

People I know who started family's around the same time but were in the later 30s or early 40s seem more likely to have grown a larger family.

I suspect in five years time when the statistics for this "cohort" (30s now) stabilises we will see a significant drop multi child families.

We can't legally compile ethnics statistics in France, so all we have to rely on is our personal feeling, which is of course very subjective ( and this has been the counter argument to my type of argument for a very long time). But it has reached such a level now that nobody is contesting that diagnosis. People give it different names depending on their political orientation ( "creolisation" for the left, "grand remplacement" for the right), but it's basically the same conclusion.

Others have designated smoking as a medical condition owing to its physiological addictive qualities. Taking that stance I would just note that the United States Navy bans from operating certain equipment all sorts of people with medical conditions. For example the USN wouldn’t let me, with my 20/400 vision uncorrected anywhere near an F-35C. So I can see banning active smokers from submarines.

> the infosec community may be ahead of society at large in understanding change, nuance, and complexity.

I think almost everyone outside of tech knows all about change, nuance and complexity. And every time they mention it we tell them they're overestimating the unique complexity of their particular situation. Then we prove it by forcing solutions on them that artificially reduce that complexity. And in the end they accept that reduction as a new reality (with some grumbling).

I feel sometimes when tech and humanity converge we end up accepting a lowest common denominator rather than accepting that our stuff isn't very good.

For places without actually separated rooms, I remember this being described as having a pissing area in a swimming pool.
But even from an economic point of view, the French immigration is mostly an uneducated when not illiterate, african, immigration, in a country that has deindustrialised like all other major western economies. It's not a like for like replacement for the local birth rate. You start to see convergence at the second generation. That's a long time.
a wise mentor of mine once said, a Job can have Great Coworkers, Great Pay, or Satisfying tasks. You if you find a good job, it has one of them, a great job will have two, but the unicorn of all three is neigh impossible to find.

Personally I hate my job, 10 years in tech support is not fun. But Recently I've started to work as CSM and I love it, it's new & exciting and I get to learn about business and strategy. I get to impact our customers before they make the mistakes that put them in contact with support. The pay is decent, the coworkers are great, and the job satisfaction is real.

So I guess I found my Unicorn for now.

As someone who works in construction, I have to say that rolling a few sheets of barrier or framing a couple extra walls really doesn't take that long or cost too much. It's on the order of $5k or less and a couple days work, for both materials and labor.

What does cost time and money is getting permits, planning approval, inspection, etc. Not that those are unimportant, but any delays are certainly not on the construction crew's behalf.
How far removed from real life must you be to complain that parents aren't asking you for permission before... allowing their children to be sick? Allowing their sick children to cough?

I live in Spain and go to France relatively often. In France the problems are quite severe by this point. It's not only in Paris and Marselle, is also beginning in other places too. This means insecurity, gang violence, threats, etc.

There's also a cultural aspect to it. It used to be just extreme-right speech but IMO It's time to stop looking elsewhere and face the problem.

In Spain it's only insecurity, and controlled to a certain degree, but in Barcelona is noticeable, and in Madrid is beginning to bein noticed. Is nowhere the level of France but it's definitely growing. A lot of people is looking up north and wondering if we should take this more seriously, so we don't end up like our northern neighbours.
> This is measurably untrue; modern computers have trouble with the Windows XP era of games a lot of the time. Many games require tinkering and some will just crash after a minute.

This is mostly the fault of games and not Windows. Software usually breaks because of unfounded assumptions, for example, that user documents are always at a specific location or that CPU frequency is always constant. Instead of using Windows API functions to retrieve the path or keep track of frequency, lazy developers often halfass the implementation, hardcode values into their code and that breaks sometime in the future when those API functions become meaningful.
