Cellphones were used to make it extraordinarily convenient for busybodies to snitch at all moments. Any increased freedom of the child to roam by virtue of having emergency communication was nixed by the ability for any passer by to immediately call police for unsupervised children without even the inconvenience of driving to a pay phone.

All the places I played alone as a kid: the playground, the rural creek, the open fields. It was inconvenient for adults to snitch me out from there. Not so anymore.

Then it's strange that it's been intimately connected with looming war against Russia and China, so many intelligence agencies have so many employees that spend 100% of their time on it, and so many congresspeople are making direct requests for censorship on political lines.

You are correct. It can't. It is made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium-137#Uses

"As an almost purely human-made isotope, caesium-137 has been used to date wine and detect counterfeits and as a relative-dating material for assessing the age of sedimentation occurring after 1945."
It hadn’t survived for billions of years, it was made of caesium-137 which was manufactured in a nuclear reactor.

This was aired on MSG Network, a local network for New York sports, so I figured it was probably a local Emmy (like when your local news talks about winning some large number of Emmys).

Indeed, that documentary won in the "Sports: Documentary" category in the 2014 New York Emmys ceremony.

See this list of the winners (note: PDF): https://www.nyemmys.org/media/files/files/7c2ad17b/57th_NY_E...
I haven't seen the movie, I recalled a decent amount of reporting on it back during Cambridge Analytica.
The Fairness doctrine had the benefit of a) time, and b) very little competition. Taking TV alone as an example, TV news was limited to a distinct hourly slot and a handful of channels. News was much more polished and prerecorded as segments. The closest modern example is probably PBS Newshour. Once you introduce much more competition and the addictive allure of 24hr news, you get into a situation where an enormous amount of news is prioritized around bread crumbing stories because it's always "in the present, as it happens", and way more reactionary. Breaking News! now happens everyday. CNN even have a regularly scheduled timeblock called...."Breaking News!" Most modern news today is rather more like commentary for a sports game, fairness or usefulness to the public is secondary.

Modern news with a fairness doctrine would probably be profoundly boring, which is good in its own way (I'm sure you would agree), but not something that makes a company like CNN a lot of money. Good journalism is expensive and laborious; cheap commentary on a 24hr stream is relatively cheap and easy.
Paywalling security updates is evil. Goodbye ubuntu.
That's a non-issue. You just need a QWERTY layout. Most OSes make it very easy to change on the fly.
This reminds me of mirror-universe conversations I've had with executives about developer experience for APIs. If an API functions and is technically capable of performing all of the operations that are business-critical, it works and is good; why complain? "Developer Experience" is just a fluffy, hand-wavey kind of mysticism that's so subjective no one can be expected to care about it!

And yet.
> When people say reprehensible things, they receive an amount of backlash as a result (sometimes more than is reasonable).

Sure, but we aren't talking about reprehensible things, we're talking about "advocating against political violence" and cultural appreciation.

> The backlash has nothing to do with political ideology, however, so not sure why you're bringing it up

Because it's clearly about punishing deviation from a partisan line.

> If your expectation is that 50% of backlash would be left leaning and 50% would be right leaning, I don't think that's reasonable, but if you think the backlash is because someone is conservative generally, you'd be mistaken.

That's not my expectation, my expectation is that we don't persecute people for moderate beliefs (and no, caricaturing those beliefs to make them sound extreme doesn't count), nor do we tolerate said behavior.

> There are a great many conservatives who can make their ideological arguments comfortably without being offensive. Conservative ideology isn't inherently offensive, but specific human beings say specific things that are reprehensible and when they do, it's called out.

As previously discussed, a lot of people are "calling out" others for utterly innocuous transgressions. For example, my state subreddit is presently arguing that families who homeschool their kids are closet Nazis (that's the very popular opinion on that particular subreddit).
Unfortunately for most of us Counter-Strike players the idea of remapping any keys is a non-reality at this point. We've been playing the game for 20 something years and our brain has accepted keys as they are.

Maybe I would care more if Netflix contained any shows worth watching, instead of thousands of middling, forgettable Netflix “Originals.” Scrolling through Netflix these days is like digging through the bargain DVD bin at Walmart.

I think the only reason that most people still have a Netflix subscription at this point is momentum. Now that Netflix has given everyone the impetus to stop and think about what the hell they’re paying for, I think this move is going to be a far bigger business disaster than Netflix is expecting.

> Do you honestly believe most left leaning individuals have something against the Jews?

Antisemitism is more common among left wingers than right wingers, so yes. Or alternatively you could say "do you honestly believe most right leaving individuals have something against X" for so many topics, X could be black people etc. Right wingers are more likely to be against those things, but it isn't like all of them are evil, similarly there is more Jew hate among left wingers, but it isn't like most of them hate Jews either.

Most Jew hate today has to do with Israel, right wing is mostly pro Istrael, so most Jew hate comes from the left.

No. Wanting to see "number go up" has probably made me comment and participate more, given an extra little push when I had something to say but been unsure whether it's worth commenting about.

Because all of that was part of SF's charm as well. The crime is not. It's community destroying.

Chesa certainly didn't invent the problems, prop 47 and other nonsense is typically Californian, and SF "deserved" Chesa in a way for harboring stupid anti-enforcement policies elsewhere, but he took to the job with gusto and enjoyed blaming things on racists and conservatives when people complained. He spent a year yammering on about how he was fighting anti-asian hate and then a largely asian coalition got rid of him - showing how little even the target of his "benevolence" thought of him.

He specifically took the position of DA because he planned not to do the job. He was "looking for alternatives to prison and incarceration" which is not the job of a DA. His job was to prosecute criminals and let others decide on policies.

Yeah, he shit on SF.

A previous job was like this, and I am a very uneven worker - sometimes I do a lot when I'm in the flow, sometimes I hardly do anything (despite wanting to).

On those days when I hadn't done much, my manager, the product manager, and the project manager, would all imply pretty strongly I hadn't done enough at the next standup, and ask why I hadn't done more, and so on. Pretty stressful.

What I started to do was, when I had a good day, hold some work back. I'd only "git push" some of the work I'd done. Only move some of the tickets along. At standup I'd just mention the first half of the work. That way when a day inevitably came along when I hadn't done much, I could claim to have "done" the second half of the work I'd previously done.

My relationship with the various managers greatly improved.

I don't know if this way of working was really beneficial to the company, but it was the company that was setting up my incentive structure this way, I was simply responding to it. I got the same amount of work done in total anyway so I figured it didn't really matter too much morally.
>practices of bringing the machinery of the state down on the head of the average citizen for minor infractions (whether or not they are really infractions) with consequences (arrests, professional and social consequences, disappearance, torture, gulags) out of all proportion to the crime (whether or not an actual crime rooted in principles of natural justice is involved).

That happens here, it's just not coordinated before the fact. If you piss a policeman off by taking too long to pull over, they will beat you and get away with it. There are many examples of this on YouTube, here is a relatively minor one. This poor woman will be forever traumatized by this event. Those police won't get fired and it's pretty obvious they have some serious anger issues.

Okay, even so, I must push back stronger on the point you made initially, that professors are looking to exploit free labor and therefore would never cut Ph.D. enrollments in half.

The first notion I would like to dispel is that we are looking for employees of any kind. To be clear, a Ph.D. is closer to an apprenticeship than it is to employment, so benchmarking it against employment leads to all kinds of wrong conclusions about the arrangement.

In fact, we are looking for students, which is to say that when admitted to a Ph.D., students lack the skills necessary to undertake the work, and the expectation is that they will be trained as a matter of course. How this differs from typical on-the-job training is that the training period can last years.

The flip side is that business has adopted the philosophy "fire fast", meaning that that if some employee isn't working out, it's best to just let them go rather than let the issue persist. With a student, the philosophy is reversed; a student who isn't working out should be mentored.

All this training and mentorship does not come cheap. For one, the facilities they use are expensive. For another, faculty time is expensive as well. Students don't appreciate this because the economics are hidden from them, and it often leads to perceptions that they are only paid the small fraction of their compensation that flows into their bank accounts. But to be clear, this training is in fact compensation to the student. It's not given to them at zero cost to the university. I can charge up to $300 per hour to give advice and training as part of my consultancy, but my students as part of my regular employment get carte balance access. They don't ever see an invoice from me, but that doesn't mean my time was spent with them out of the goodness of my heart. It certainly doesn't mean I'm exploiting them by not paying them market rate. If they want market rate, they should have marketable skills relevant to the position.

The slavery comparison falls apart for obvious reasons. The volunteer comparison also falls apart because volunteers act as such to give, whereas students start a Ph.D. to get something out of it. And they do, it's just not all money. It's not even mostly money, and I think this should be clear to anyone thinking of starting a Ph.D. at this point. So for a Ph.D. student to complain that they were paid a small amount compared to someone who was employed, while eliding the vast array of other compensation they got, and simultaneously ignoring all the privileges afforded to students that aren't to employees, that to me is missing the entire value of the degree.
> Exhaling along with mental visualization of purging the mind

This one amazes me; taking deep breaths to calm myself just makes me feel weird and sometimes even more anxious, but taking deep breaths and imagining releasing a cloud of (deep purple) smoke on the exhale noticeably relaxes me. I wonder if it's the imagination component that makes it better, i.e. giving the mind something to focus on? Or maybe the timing of the exhale changes with the visualization. Either way, a great hack imo.
I don't understand why you're astonished? Psychopaths are all around us, from corporate "leadership" to government lobbyists to fake reviewers on Amazon and the App Store. Confidence men (and women!) have existed since the dawn of time. From selling "snake oil," to 419 scams, to "Microsoft" computer support, technology has only ever aided the process of helping psychopaths find victims. Talent and technical ability are orthogonal to empathy. Always has been; always will be.

This deepfake stuff is a difference in degree, not kind, and once these people figure out how to use AI to help them, everyone is going to have to level up their defenses all over again. You ain't seen nothing yet.
Nah… it’s changing my life in too many ways to count. It’s all about how you use it.
I don't think that book is generally considered scientific. It contains a bunch of opinions, but it is not peer reviewed article and not everything in it is backed by good studies.

This is the issue with nuclear in general. In short, we are not responsible enough. If we were fully responsible as people, we could do it. Once rich countries did it, poor countries would demand it, and they are especially unprepared. A bit of economic and political risk and voila, regions devastated.

There should be a simple rule: if you can't manage sewage and garbage, you can't handle nuclear technologies.

Welcome to the club! Unfortunately you'll have to be more specific as to what you're trying to destroy in order for us to monetize its destruction and hit this quarters OKRs.

I think the no-upvotes thing is simply a matter of eyeballs. This site is actually quite small, and a comment with domain expertise in a small niche may go unnoticed or unrecognized. I don't feel like it's a waste, I'm able to share my knowledge, after all.

One change that made quiet and kinda recently is that you can no longer downvote direct replies to your comment (with that same account), which moves the needle on what I'm being downvoted for, imo.
Sounds like you work at Amazon. They had to attempt this method because their reputation/pay is so bad in the industry they’re not able to hire experienced devs.

What has helped me a lot: get plenty of sunlight; especially in the morning (very important to our biological clock), started taking probiotics once a day before a meal, I try to eat complex carbohydrates in the morning (fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds); which promotes good gut bacteria and more stable blood glucose levels, exercise every day, no caffeine 8 hours before bed, nothing but water 2-3 hours before bed and I take 10mg of Melatonin most nights before bed (sometimes 20mg).
I agree I'm going to migrate away from them, I can't support this.

Naive question: I've got ubuntu running on servers (mostly just shared files and computer) and some cloud gpu machines. Are these affected as well? As in the ubuntu images that come from aws et al are presumably not "pro" so they won't be properly watchable?

As an aside, what a rip-off. I'm generally hesitant to use free tools from for-profit companies for fear of how they'll later try and monetize, and this is a pretty good case of a company deciding to lure people in then do something really scummy
It's the other side of the equation, about writing a major piece of GPU driver itself in Rust.

Sexual shame damages people. I grew up in a Catholic household where my sex ed consisted of Focus On The Family's workbooks, and their blame and shame, sinful outlook on what turns out to be a normal part of most mammalian lives.

Echoing the sentiment of a sibling comment: this damaged me. I'm middle aged now, and some of residual shame-trauma still exists.

That shame mechanism is one of the things that enables sexual predators to repeatedly prey on others, because ashamed people don't report being sexually abused.

Fortunately, I didnt have to deal with that, but given my upbringing (Catholicism, Altar Boy, Boy Scouts), its just down to probability that I was lucky enough to not have been groomed by a pedophile.
