>The SNAFU principle: communication is only possible between equals. When an hierarchical divide exists the subordinate will tell the superior what he wants to hear.

Sadly true. As humorously depicted here[0]:

In the beginning was the DEMO Project. And the Project was
without form. And darkness was upon the staff members
thereof. So they spake unto their Division Head, saying, "It
is a crock of shit, and it stinks."

And the Division Head spake unto his Department Head,
saying, "It is a crock of excrement and none may abide the
odor thereof." Now, the Department Head spake unto his
Directorate Head, saying, "It is a container of excrement,
and is very strong, such that none may abide before it." And
it came to pass that the Directorate Head spake unto
the Assistant Technical Director, saying, "It is a vessel of
fertilizer and none may abide by its strength."

And the assistant Technical Director spake thus unto the
Technical Director, saying, "It containeth that which aids
growth and it is very strong." And, Lo, the Technical
Director spake then unto the Captain, saying, "The powerful
new Project will help promote the growth of the
laboratories."

And the Captain looked down upon the Project, and He saw
that it was Good!

Eh, some of them believe that home ownership leads to bad politics.
Maybe Firefox usage statistics could be distorted, because of its various mechanisms of blocking trackers.
"You were used" implies you didn't get anything in return. But if you got paid, maybe you came out ahead on the deal?
It's a consequence of making housing incredibly expensive. When costs are mostly tied up in land and regulation, already too much on people, then housing prices are attempted to be lowered by reducing the construction cost. If you whack the land and regulation costs, so that everyone can easily afford housing, then you'll see luxury splurging on building design for aesthetic and status factors.
But you can’t micromanage or “team build” remotely
> The dog whistle in Emrich's statement is how he talks about scientific facts and theories. He's aiming for Darwin and he's got a little Intelligent Design in his back pocket.

I don't really see how. Evolution is a "scientific fact" according to his definition, and creation is not.

I would have guessed it is aimed at one or all of: the trans movement; federal politicians and bureaucrats declaring that they are the science or their policies are; and maybe global warming (which is observable and repeatable, but potentially easier to attack because of the nature of its predictions).
It's a bad analogy because killing people (a hitman) is categorically wrong, and illegal, in all instances. Serving ads, and targeted ads, is legal, but in some circumstances many would consider it unethical.

Is it ethical to serve anti-abortion messages/services to pregnant women in any circumstances? I would say no, all health related advertising should be restricted to medical services, rather than religious ones.

But if you believe, as some Americans do, that abortion (at any date, including fewer cells than in a mole) is literally murder, they consider health information the same as Google providing advertising for hit men. They would love to censor medical information they same way they are censoring history and science.

The commercial interests would oppose any restrictions on their ability to make money from the health industry. Their pockets are even deeper than religious fundamentalists are.

Fundamentally opposed positions, and gerrymandered electorates, make resolution through legislation impossible. Which leaves activism, electoral/judicial reform contests, privately funded education campaigns, and counter messaging as effective strategies.
Wow! I had no idea you could get fun projects like this into the NYT.

Learning to trust others and understanding my emotions.

For me, these were world-altering.

I went from barely being able to function in society because I would constantly second guess everything I heard (causing me to deliver projects that were only 70-80% overlap with what was wanted). I had significant trouble with perspective-taking and authenticity, so when I did mess up, it was difficult for others to take my side.

The lack of trust and emotional understanding also caused heavy compartmentalization, I had completely different habits/behaviors socially, professionally, and when dating.

These two things almost magically (this is how it felt in comparison with grinding for ever achievement I had previously, but it still took work) granted me social skills that I never believed I'd be able to have and to build meaningful relationships with others.

I grew up parentified, instrumentally, and emotionally neglected. It was so bad that in HS I believed I didn't have emotions like other people.
The article states facts. It doesn't call anyone evil, or stupid.

But at face value, outlawing the teaching of well established scientific theory in science class is exactly the sort of thing you'd do if you were a theocratic bumpkin who despised knowledge.

(I haven't used it in a few years, when I tried to deploy OpenStack with it, so if this is outdated, please, correct me!)

Ansible is imperative, it can work toward a static state, and that's it. If it runs into a problem it throws up its SSH connection, and cries tons of python errors, and gives up forever. Even with its inventory it's far from declarative.

k8s is a bunch of control loops that try to make progress toward their declared state. Failure is not a problem, it'll retry. It'll constantly check its own state, it has a nice API to report it, and thanks to a lot of reified concepts it's harder to have strange clashes between deployed components. (Whereas integrating multiple playbooks with Ansible is ... not trivial.)

I think it's likely that there is a higher concentration of tech (esp. software engineering) jobs in some of the further flung suburbs than in DC proper, which yields some more affordable options (sometimes at the cost of some urban amenities).

This is not a lot cheaper than what you quoted, but for ~$2k/mo you can rent a 1 BR apartment in one of those relatively new, relatively fancy condominium-style medium-rise buildings at Reston Town Center (essentially the "downtown" area, or at least one of them) which puts you in very short walking distance of a bunch of tech offices and even a good number of nightlife and entertainment options. You could easily live the "15-minute city" life there. It would be a little bit like living in a large outdoor mall, but it's a very walkable "neighborhood". (EDIT: the DC metro system is also within walking distance.)

There are a handful of other "tech hubs" like that scattered around the DMV.
Having nil (NULL, undefined whatever) that is falsey as is customary in Lisp/ Clojure is quite useful - the language family depends on it. Most things deal with it very well and it is a useful distinction that something wasn't setup or didn't return any meaningful value for whatever reason.

Clojure has a powerful meta-data system which could be used for checking for errors if Clojure didn't depend on the host platform for that. Also, it seems, Common Lisp also has some ideas about how to handle things more or less in-line with other code without having a special system that you can't see most of the time.

Btw. some of this can go very deep in the technology stack, there were computers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ternary_computer) with ternary logic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-valued_logic). Such a computer could improve many aspects of computing, e.g. density and therefore efficiency. It could improve reliability (things could be more explicit). You could divide by 3 precisely and efficiently. It could improve our understanding of logic by making this for most of us alien concept to a more practical and widespread tool.
Ultimately you always have the option of writing your own software. This is much easier than say starting your own package shipping center or whatever.

But there is a huge risk the software will never make money. Billions have been spent on failed software, the employees got to cash out and not care. So you trade risk for reward.

Point taken. I was reacting to your post as stated because it's often said that HPV is not a cancer risk for men. You're correct that it wouldn't explain a general rise in colorectal cancer across the board.
That's what's called a deal, a negotiation, business. Two parties come to an agreement that they both accept. You can see it as win-win or lose-lose. People who complain for long time about the company they are working for have something in common with other abuse victims: They never leave.

I'm much more concerned about the deals I'm forced into without having ever accepted, such as paying tribute to the rulers.
That's the only way we land on affordable housing in a market economy.

For the record, the City of Berlin is one of the largest owners of rental property in... the City of Berlin. And, Germany is definitely a market economy. That said, in the United States, this would be probably be impossible. The economy and politics is much too classically liberal. (I'm not talking about Democrats == liberal.)

Yes, I agree with your main point: "All new supply is good supply, period." Japan is very fair about this: The cities look visually sh-tty (during the daytime) -- architectural eyesore / concreted mess... but the prices are reasonable for middle class people. Noah Smith wrote about it:

Japanese cities like Tokyo have managed to build enough housing to make housing costs fall

I would assume recordings that didn't take hypersonic hearing into account would sound bad still.

It is like recording movies today to include ultraviolet light on the chance we have bionic eyes in the future.
I think the point is not so they can't fire you, it's so you can collect unemployment if they do. The employer can't just claim you quit.
Newtonian Mechanics is also a simplified model. Does that mean it is as useless as spherical cows?

More to the point, in my experience the people who say free markets are some crazy extremist unworkable ideology tend to have very strange ideas about what it is. For a typical example, they'll claim a free market requires "perfect information", which is completely false. (Imperfect information is called "risk" and is factored into prices.)
Both Marxists and SJWs (in the narrow meaning of the word, although I think that Marxists are part of SWJs) want to destroy the engineering culture. OP is attacking it directly, painting it as "free labor for entities that are trying to cut their wages".

Getting a condo map is hard, so I didn't bother trying. That forces these into being rentals.
There are about 130 thousand people 6' 6" or taller in the US: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/585718168419c246cf6f2...

Which is coincidentally the average height of NBA players (meaning almost half of them are below this height).

There are a maximum of about 600 NBA players at any given time, so a little more than 300 at 6' 6" or above.

Having good height genetics means you have a 0.25% chance of being an NBA player in any given year. Not factoring in foreign players. Maybe a 2% chance in your lifetime.

Being a black person doesn't give you any more advantage than being a white person when it comes to height. In fact, in the USA, white American males average an inch taller than black American males: https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/average-hei...

Thank you to clarify. These types of comments are important to provide much needed nuance.
It definitely has to happen, but thinking this is good for everyone is lying to yourself.

If, for example, you live in an expensive second-rate suburb, a proliferation of affordable homes in first rate suburbs will eventually drive your home's value into the gutter.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

- Carl Sagan

Texas does shit like this all the time, as do other southern states, and the local govt of any person reading this might be next. This is absolutely representative of a pattern of the celebration of ignorance in the US. The only thing left to do is acknowledge it and do something about it.
Advice for Myself: Write More
I am in the choir this article is preaching to, but "disintegration of Academia"? Please. Deconstructionist arguments have been taken up as weapons by minority groups and agitators playing power politics, we all see the game they're playing, but they're more like BB guns than real guns - annoying but not actually dangerous.
I've heard a phrase that I think paints a parallel picture.

"The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent"

Sure businesses are supposed to be cruel uncaring bean counting machines. But they're corrupted by all these damn apes that make all the decisions. There's no law of economics that that's that humans have to act in a perfectly rational self interest. It's an assumption that many economic theories make, for various reasons but it's far from inviolable.
I agree with you that this is the killer app to unlock the metaverse. When everyone can create their own spaces usage will explode like Facebook or YouTube. What makes you think he's too early though? As long as he can keep funding until that point he'll win when it happens surely?

> You can get off the shelf AWS units with 1000 cores, terabytes of ram and storage, etc.

Hold your horses... the beefiest servers that are in production today, unless you count custom-made stuff go to somewhere between 128 and 256 cores per board. These are hugely expensive. Also, I don't know if you can rent those from Amazon.

Typical, affordable servers range between 4..16 cores. Doesn't matter if you buy them yourself, or you rent them from Amazon. It's much cheaper to command a fleet of affordable servers than to deal with a high-end few. This is both because the one-time price of buying is quite different and because with smaller individual servers you have a fighting chance to scale your application with demand. Especially this is true in case of Amazon as you could theoretically buy spot instances and by so doing you'd share the (financial) load with other Amazon's customers.

Now... storage. Well, you see, in Amazon you can get very expensive storage that's guaranteed to be "directly" attached to the CPU you rent, the so-called ephemeral storage. This is the storage that's included with the VM image you use. It's very hard to get a lot of it. I couldn't find the numbers for Amazon, instead, I know that Azure tops out at 2 TB. In principle, this kind of storage cannot exceed a single disk, so, think Amazon probably offers the same 2 TB, maybe 4. But, again, it's cheaper to have a bunch of EBS's attached... but then you'll have to have more of them as the latency will suffer, and in order to compensate for that you would try to increase throughput, perhaps.

Also, think that, in practice, you'd want to have a RAID, probably RAID5, and this means you need upwards from 3 disks. Also, if you are using something like a relational database, you'd most likely want to put the OS on a single device, the database data on a RAID and database journal on a yet another device, and, probably, you'd want that device to be something like persistent memory / optane / something from higher-tier disks with dedicated power supply. And all this is not due to size, but due to different contingencies you need to have in order to prevent huge data loss... Now, add to this backups and snapshots, perhaps replication in 2-3 different geographical areas if you are running an international business... and that's quite a bill to foot.

There are similar problems with memory, since there can only be so many legs on memory bus and only so many pieces of memory you can attach to a single CPU, and if you also want a lot of storage, then, similarly, there can be only so many individual storage devices attached and so on.

Bottom line... even to reproduce the performance of your laptop in the cloud you would probably end up with some distributed solution, and you would still struggle with latency.
It is rejected currently and any dynamic app browser is banned too.

No idea how this wasn’t immediately quashed by regulation. It’s a 15 year long version of the M$ antitrust lawsuit.

The reason it’s not blocked is probably because Apple browser seems close enough to “the web” as we know it.

The web should be a lot more advanced today than it is, and Apple is to blame for that. Blocking progress for over a decade.
Because most queries are not shopping queries. Yet ads are injected regardless to tempt you into buying something.

It would surprise me greatly if Firefox were sending invalid User-Agent headers.

User-Agent headers are mandatory; and it would be counterproductive for everybody, including Mozilla, if Firefox were sending invalid User-Agent headers.
> Honestly I think this is bad. We'll end up with Blink everywhere.

That could happen, but alternatively we could get Browser War III¹, in which Apple reintroduces an extremely competitive Safari for Windows in order to counteract the Blink (Chrome, Edge) hegemony. That would not be great news for Firefox, though.

I didn't think that that blocked the user-agent header. But I guess I could be wrong.
Sometimes I read something I'm just like "what the literal fuck could you possibly be talking about?!" Of course the date of publication is a standard part of any journal article. I mean, a lot of them get into the weeds about it: date of submission, date of acceptance, date of early online publication, date of press.

Then I went back to this particular PDF and notice that indeed, it doesn't have the date of publication.

Then I re-read your sentence.

"I think the most annoying omission from the standard academic paper format is the year of publication." is subtly ambiguous.

"Sometimes authors omit elements required by the standard academic paper format, and of those omissions, omitting the date of publication is the most annoying."
Parents should be focused on helping their children navigate facts and theories they disagree with, not sheltering them from their existence. This applies equally regardless of the theory you agree or disagree with.

You think evolution is a hoax? Fine, so teach your own damn kids how to pass the class taught by heathens. You think signing the national anthem before class is cringy? Fine, so make fun of it at home and record parody videos.

My point is, not everyone is going to agree about everything, but I wish we all had a bit more practice getting along.

This idea that we can cleanly separate a theory from a fact and only teach students absolute truth is dangerous and goes against the critical thinking skills we all need to progress and learn.
A quick google search says gay men have cancer rates double or more than straight men, so maybe. The article doesn't mention it so they either don't think it could be linked or wanted to avoid that subject since it would obviously be a touchy one. Although, if they do think there is a connection, it does seem like it would be important to target education to those who have anal sex so they know to get more screenings.
A smart watch approach is good suggestion. I should look into learning how to code such a thing. I have an apple watch but I’m guessing for a bespoke watch face dashboard it might be easier to do on another smart watch platform more friendly to a Linux developer.
