Sure it does. Joe may be in a social class that competes with immigrants in the labor market, or the housing market. He may perceive that the safety in his neighborhood has changed with an influx of people he perceives to be immigrants.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. For example if you had price data and you wanted to bump prices up a dollar in 2020 how would you do that in sql?

In pandas it’s:

prices_df.loc['2020'] += 1

If you had a temperature forecast and you wanted to add the expected temperature miss to them, how would you do that on sql?

In pandas it’s:

temps_df + expected_miss_df

It's doing that to provide a functionality required by the user, which results in informed consent. If you do computing without a user's informed consent, you're building malware.
In my opinion, the future of billing lies in a hybrid approach. Former subscription- or per-seat-based models were too restrictive. Subscriptions with capped features prevented users from upselling and generating more revenue. The gap between the base subscription and upsell was often too large.

I agree that usage-based billing can be difficult to predict revenue from. We don't think companies will switch entirely to this model.
However, the hybrid model can be beneficial for both customers and vendors. Companies can charge a base platform fee and then charge for overage instead of blocking it. This could increase revenue for companies that currently use subscription-based billing.
It's impossible today to have any sort of major asset without going into debt. Simply said, wages are so low you can't really save up for anything - like what, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck?

Back in the Ford era, it was at least commonly understood common sense that people need to be able to afford products. Today? The people are held poor so that they can't afford to strike, much less openly revolt, and nickeled-and-dimed by the credit industry.

The advice from Ramsey and friends makes sense and is objectively the best thing people can do, but at the same time its messaging is clear: miss out on the fun everyone else has achieved by debt.
ahah yeah that is terrifying. thanks :)

> ChatGPT is relentless. It doesn't become exhausted nor does it offer olive branches during dialogue or any other emotion that is typical in debate or general human exchange.

It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
No, at the very least I would add a (reserved) stdc_ prefix to all stdlib functions (and defines, and header filenames...), and keep options open for API versioning (e.g. stdc2_...).

That way we could also get rid of all the random reserved identifiers we need to (theoretically) adhere to now.
Nope, I think the go module proxy is just fine. See my other response[0] for an explanation of what I meant.

I am not one of those supporters, I think. But there is a disconnect here (and I was guilty of it for many years): when regular people think of regulations, they think about sensible rules that protect them, the workers, or the environment.

When lobbyists, industry, and politicians think of regulations, they tend to think mostly about how to protect the established industry from startups. By adding sufficient red tape in places where it's not really required, they can effectively create moats for existing oligopolies.
Yeah, when I was studying ELF format I used gdb to inspect hand-crafted ELF files to better understand what actual semantics some fields actually have (or how they're supposed to validated) and I was quite surprised when it would segfault on disassembly attempt — not the program under inspection but the gdb itself. IMHO for a debugger to segfault when attempting to inspect the program under it because the program has wrong headers/corrupted memory layout or whatever is completely inexcusable: the reason you attach debugger to a program is generally because it went (spectacularly) spoiled and curdled and now you try to figure out what the hell happened.

When there are human links in the safety chain, those links can fail. Here's some possible things that could have gone wrong:

1. The hotbox detectors have been malfunctioning or are miscalibrated and giving false alarms, so dispatch has started ignoring them.

2. The same but conductors have begun ignoring dispatch.

3. Dispatch missed the signal from the hotbox.

4. Conductor missed the call from dispatch, or dispatch was handling another issue elsewhere.

You need things like positive train control [2673] designed to be fail-safe and without inappropriate overrides - the hotbox triggers, train doesn't stop, automatically the PTC trips and puts the train into emergency. You need to design it so that ignoring the problem results in total economic shutdown of whatever it is; many systems are setup so that ignoring the problem results in the numbers being met (until something catastrophic happens).

That's very accurate, I agree.
A year later: All crustaceans on earth have been killed.

The invaders, living in their own "bubble", don't even look anywhere but under water and don't recognize land based life forms or land based anything, and since they themselves are crustaceans they don't think any other species could ever be a threat.

Again we survived another alien attack thanks to living organisms brains limited abilities of perception. The last serious invasion killed off all silicon based life forms two billion years ago by an intelligent rock species.
This may be by design, as it punishes those who dare to value their privacy.

eg, some options:

a) No telemetry. All users of the Go language get equal treatment/consideration by the developers ("best guess").

b) With telemetry. The users who opt out are thereby excluded from consideration ("punished").

It seems like over time, option b) would lead to problems for the Go language as the developers base their decisions on incomplete information, whilst believing that information is somehow more complete than option a).
I mean, I wasn’t really surprised here, with this being Google always finding ways to collect data on just about anything to make money.

Remember, cooperations don’t give a crap about you at all when it comes to profits and headcount, so it isn’t worth signing up and investing a huge amount of your ‘dreams’ to ‘get into a corporation’ all to get exploited and used in the end.

Go team, Kubernetes Team or any team or product by a corporation is all motivated by profit and a good image and nothing else.

I'm skeptical that it's a deliberate conspiracy, and this is not a scientific test, but I just checked the following news sites, and not one of them had any related hits for "Ohio" listed on their main pages:

BBC America

Reuters

CNN

Fox News

The New York Times

The Seattle Times

MSNBC

CNBC

Seems a little weird for sure. All of those sources have coverage AFAIK, but one has to dig to see it. I imagine algorithmic content promotion is at least partly a factor. I.e. if people aren't clicking on news about that story as much, it probably falls off the main page. So perhaps it's more like paid corporate Wikipedia shills, except it's click farms to promote other content and get the embarrassing news off of the front page?

That having been said, I know of at least two topics the American press is likely to deliberately downplay or avoid reporting on - solo suicides and certain types of civil unrest - so while I strongly dislike conspiracy theories in general and think it's unlikely in this case, I can't rule out the possibility that this is another one of those topics.
My experience going through physics in undergrad + 1 year of grad school was that we had made enough progress that it takes ~8 years of book learning to get to a basic competency at the forefront of a narrow part of physics. If you want to make a fundamental connection with a different field.. then adding enough knowledge to be able to formulate your hypothesis will take ~1-2 years of further book reading. Unfortunately people have finite lifespans, and by the time someone hits their mid-thirties - children and other priorities will start pulling you away from working 40-60 hours for subsistence wages. The Risk budget for exploring ideas shrinks.

I'm honestly curious if ChatGPT will help in this regard. Working with ChatGPT on physics/math problems allows one to get immediate knowledgable feedback on any idea - you can even have ChatGPT write out a semi-broken version of complex derivations if you just want to see if anything interesting comes out of the idea.

No.

The ISW consider Russia using nuclear weapons to be extremally unlikely; the Russian rhetoric around them simply being to provoke western fear (and thus delay the sending of western weapons), as you have so aptly demonstrated.

> I mean, some folks in the thread were absolutely arguing in bad faith. A lot of people just go ahead with the "telemetry=bad" message + critique of telemetry in general without even taking a look at the actual proposal

It is still telemetry, other platform's toolchains dont have it, it's not bad faith for rejecting it.

I wonder if it's because of the decline in neuroplasticity as we age. We take a week to learn a new video game and expect that peace to continue when we get older. It can be a hit to the ego that it may take a little longer, that we aren't quite as 'smart' as we thought.
We'll have to see the implementation of course, but it shouldn't be a huge effort to replace the telemtry reporting function with `return success`.

No, but the go tool/package manager doesn’t necessarily, by default, have to proxy each requested module through Google run servers. It can fetch modules directly from the source.

That said, I don’t think that the go tool’s current behavior in regards to the module proxy server can be considered as phoning home.

The proposed metrics collection however absolutely would be bad phoning home behavior.
The realistic alternative is multigenerational family units sticking together.

Grandparents help raise the grand kids instead of day care and baby sitters. Kids take care of their aging parents. Communities pull together to help each other.

There are complexities to it, but without a lot of the artificial financial structures that we have in place (loans, insurance, stocks, government programs) that’s probably what society has to revert to and in many ways it’s the most efficient long term way for society to function.
Even totalitarian states change over time and Brezhnev's times were characteristic by their bureaucracy. Hence the planting of evidence ahead.

That would rely on installing Go from the distro repositories, though, and that's not what the official Go docs tell you to do.
Every Hundred Flowers Campaign is followed by an Anti-Rightist Campaign.

Chairman Mao instituted the Hundred Flowers Campaign purportedly as a way to solicit community participation in building China's new communist society. The CCP assured everybody, hey, we're totally open to criticism, feel free to be open and honest, we could use your ideas for how to improve.

The reality was made clear in the Anti-Rightist Campaign, in which critics of Mao's plan or regime were put on a list of those to be arrested as "rightists" and imprisoned or killed.

Isn't that a very strong argument against telemetry? If it's generally understood that users don't want opt-out telemetry, why are people insisting on it?
For physical tasks; extreme repetition.

For example, I learned to really shred on the electric guitar by loading this[1] custom song into RockSmith.

I followed a given section of the song at 1% speed and only increased it by another percentage if I performed it perfectly 5 time in a row. It was an all-day process, but now, years later, I can play it with hardly any effort.

They're probably just balloons. However, this is someone directly saying that they aren't sure they're just balloons. They're obviously very different from the first balloon.

Things can exist in the technologically fascinating middle ground between completely boring and aluminum foil hat alien invasion. If governments are investing into developing stealth balloons then I guarantee there is fascinating technology that we don't know about that I am excited to know more about. This is an ideal place to discuss it.

I'm a big fan of usage based billing. It lets small users have small bills.

Per-seat pricing has always felt annoying to me. Ideally you want everyone at your company to be able to access the tools that everyone else uses (you don't want to create a bunch of second class citizens), but that gets really expensive really quickly. So per-user-per-month has never felt great to me.

That said, usage-based billing is confusing. And when customers are confused, they simply chargeback the credit card charge. AWS can make it work, but I'm not sure if everyone else can. Will be interesting to see.

> they've competed for the same mindshare for about as long as they both have existed, and Go seems to have lost out pretty decisively

I have no idea what you're talking about. I agree for the mindshare, because I started with Go and thought Rust looked more elegant, but after actually trying it it became pretty clear that they don't compete.

I don't know where you're getting that Go somehow "lost", it sounds like bubble reasoning. Again, it didn't "lost" because they don't compete with each other.

It's like saying Nadal lost against Messi because Messi is more popular when they're not playing the same sport, it doesn't make sense.
The reason there is peace is that the European nations formed an economic union with a high degree of interdependence and the obvious restriction on a certain ww2 losing country to no longer have a functioning army and go full pacifism as its geographic location allows it to attack all of Europe simultaneously.

I think the china balloon incident became political very quickly and then the political part of our government decided to ask the defense department to clean up things that we have previously been accepting as unexplained but acceptable becasue they were not attributable to state actors. a UAP that isnt owned by China or any other country that is just hanging out, I think we previously were letting them hang out.
