If I (non-consensually) spank an adult, that's abuse. If I spank an animal, that's also abuse. But if I spank a child, that's somehow magically not abuse?

Most of Europe has been getting along fine without physically hitting their children for discipline. Parents should not be teaching their children that pain compliance is an acceptable method for getting what they want.

A couple of months back I posed the same question, and a mob came out of the woodwork denying any recession.

Then we started having news of thousands of layoffs every couple of weeks.

I too wonder how the perception has changed in the meantime - and what the effect of a tech recession/layoffs spree will be on the general economy and real businesses.
This caught me off guard without the "Long Live ..." continuation that is the headline meme these days.

In the early 2000's I ran a lab and made it a 4 day week. The 5th day, up to the individual but scheduled, was done at home. Mostly it didn't matter if they were actually working, as long as they were easy enough to contact if needed. A fair portion of the work happens "in your head" and so I respected their personal autonomy to think similarly while not actually at the lab. They say the best ideas happen while showering, after all.

And it seemed to work, because every week they came up with new things and stayed motivated. I didn't ever feel like they were abusing it.
I don't do any of that stuff and don't think I am running into nasty websites. What is it supposed to do?

I was wondering about this as well. What exact mechanism did they use to detect the read? Something like mprotect would only trigger for the game process, not another process that snooped the game's memory remotely. I wonder if the cheat tool was really dumb enough to run in the same process as the game itself? That would be pretty amusing.
Yeah, the permission model in browser plugins is all kinds of messed up.

In absolutely no way is it the plugin's decision where it should be allowed to run. It's great if it self-restricts and we should encourage that, but it's absurd in the extreme that any version of plugin support ever shipped without a way for users to override and restrict them further. Trusting the author of a thing to do what they claim to do is literal security insanity, and it always has been.

Chrome is sightly improving here, with click-to-activate extensions, but it's still pretty far from just giving me a frickin list field.
Same in Fallout 76 which is a cooperative PvE casual game, enjoyed by the fabled middle-American casual gamer Mom. (And Dads, and anyone else who isn't playing for competition.)

For some reason, some players spend 3 figures at RMT sites for weapons that can few-shot the server-wide event bosses. There's no in-game benefit for this. The boss events are designed to entertain a half dozen to dozen players for 5 - 15 minutes. Insta death for the boss just means everyone has to wait longer for the next event.

Other players use a glitch in the game that lets them blanket the event zone with white explosions, so no players (including themselves) can see the event. The only recourse is to switch servers or just leave the event.

This phenomenon is interesting enough to have been researched:

"Results support the relationship between self-determination theory need satisfaction and enjoyment, and indicate that griefers enjoy their gameplay style as much as community-based players, despite the antisocial nature of the gameplay style resulting in differing levels of need satisfaction."

We've been through several boom's and busts for Bitcoin before (and let's be honest, all the rest of crypto rises and falls with Bitcoin).

I see no reason to assume this current bust is permanent.

In terms of vaccine I'd be more worried about even poorer uptake than the COVID vaccines among vulnerable populations this time around than I would with supply. The regulatory and manufacturing infrastructure exists to produce a lot of flu vaccines and update the antigens in a matter of months, so I reckon we would be ok on supply within a year. Although the ramp up might depend on who is in office I suppose and how offensive the idea is to their base.
This doesn’t make any sense to me: how does fine-tuning the embeddings save money? It seemed like the problem was having to make too many API calls to generate the embeddings in the first place.
So less than the 2008 stock market crash, yet people still think they can get rich on the stock market. You're making the mistake of being wowed by a huge number without knowing what its size actually means.

Regarding personal lawsuits:

In the normal economy, the risk is quite low for being personally sued and being like "whoops, if only I made an LLC in some fool proof way". But its still pretty good advice anyway. In the crypto economy the risk is lower and everything is faster.

What's the conversion efficiency with a Cessna 172's ancient engine though? Batteries don't have to get that much better for electrics to dominate the training GA market.

There's a Pipistril Velis Electro[1] that shares a hanger with my flight school. It can only fly for about 30 minutes + 30 mins reserve with 2 relatively light pilots. If it had a battery which allowed for 2 hours of flight you've now tripled your range - 1.5hours + 30 mins reserve. That would cover all ab-initio training.

A battery like the one in the article would expand the range further to cross country capability and/or higher useful load, with the complete reconstruction of a piston engine every 2000 hours gone from the equation. Can't wait.

1. https://www.pipistrel-aircraft.com/products/general-aviation...
But the more people refusing and the longer the wave goes, the more incidental deaths there will be from people with other medical issues that have access to care restricted.
The math is quite a bit better than those numbers would suggest. An aircraft piston engine is roughly 25% efficient, but an electric motor can be over 90%.

A gallon of gas weighs about 2.7 kg, so the gas is about 12.3 kWh/kg. If we adjust this type of battery to account for the difference in efficiency, it is about 4.3 (equivalent) kW/kg.

Ok, so that's still a factor of 3 worse. However, all the gas in the Cessna weighs about 336 lbs. The engine weighs about 250 lbs. A comparable electric motor is about 70 lbs. That gives you another 180 lbs, or over 50% more weight to fill with batteries.

Now we're at about 50% of the useful energy of the Cessna. You can also factor in a little bit of gain from "regenerative braking" since the electric airplane can charge the batteries while descending. This may not make a huge difference in range for just point to point flying, but it does add some extra for flight training with lots of landings, and also provides some extra reserve in the case of a missed approach for example.

All of that is to say that this doesn't bring the small electric airplane to parity with gasoline, but it's starting to much more credibly inch in on its turf.
> Is there a browser that has that feature yet? I spent a few hours trying to figure out if Firefox did. It did not appear to.

With unicast, the node originating the stream would have n times the traffic, where n is the number of devices pulling the stream. Further from the originating node in the network topology, each edge would transport as many times the traffic as there are listeners whose traffic travels along that edge. That seems very significant.

With broadcast, all the nodes and edges transport the stream only once, but you can only distribute the stream in the same (L3) network, and within that network you transport the stream even through L2 nodes and edges (i.e. network switches, cables, Wi-Fi channels) where there are no listeners at all. You could in theory repeat those broadcast packets into other networks, but you need to set that up more explicitly, and then every node and edge in that network gets the traffic, too.

With multicast, devices and effectively segments can subscribe to the stream, and all nodes and edges transport the stream at most once, and they can do so across network boundaries while retaining the same property, and using a standardized mechanism that is designed to make the traffic only go where it needs to go as much as the topology allows.
Adblock Plus is already like this and everybody technical quickly realised the reality of an advertising "Whitelist" instantly creates a de facto protection racket where getting an exclusion from the adblocker becomes a valuable commodity. It's worth paying WHATEVER the adblock operator is asking to get on the whitelist. Adblock Plus got big bucks from Google who in turn have saved billions from striking a deal with them. The small guys - well they got screwed - you need to go through certain well financed ad networks to deliver "Acceptable ads". Adblock Plus is still popular for some reason but I don't know any technical people who still use it because well it's corrupt and hostile to its own users and has a clear drop-in replacement.

In the opinion of the vast majority of adblocker users, agree with it or not, ALL advertisers are bad actors. So they will never voluntarily choose filter lists which allow "good ads" the vast majority of the time. As such this will only happen if you get the adblocker to set allowing "acceptable ads" as a default, which makes what you're talking about INTRINSICALLY corrupt and paternalistic. If you want people to actually do this, show up at the houses of Adblock developers with suitcases of money, plenty of drugs, and beautiful prostitutes and whisper sweet stories into their ears about how they can help small businesses find markets for their products. Sadly ublock origin's developers appear to be incorruptible.

Google has figured out trying to push "acceptable ads" any harder is pointless and has instead moved to simply make adblocking technically harder to do by taking control of web standards.
> All I care about is hiding/obfuscating my personal information.

It does hide it. It hides it between a bunch of garbage data. That’s the point.

If the CIA wants to assassinate me, a browser extension isn’t going to help. But if I start seeing ads for adult diapers while I’m browsing the internet, I’m going to laugh and feel good about knowing they wasted a few cents.

> Accurate or not, that data will increasingly impact your life in very real ways. The more data they have, the worse it will be for you.

Sorry, but that’s ridiculous. It sounds like FUD a spam blog operator would say lol.

> this isn't actually true, because advertisers don't care. That's why the world is still and increasingly filled with ads that aren't laser focused on you as an individual. We have more and more ads on network TV, on billboards, on radio etc. None of them were stopped because they sometimes showed an ad to someone who doesn't care about it. Seriously, they don't care. You clicked, that's good enough for them. Sales aren't even always the goal. Being seen (or the appearance of being seen) is often all they need.

When something isn’t working, you stop wasting money on it. Ads aren’t going to completely disappear, but if collecting personal data on individuals stops being effective, then marketers will need to turn to other means of targeting. It won’t happen tomorrow, but I did say “long term”
if someone is 'losing glycemic control' because they can't get a specific new en-vogue med, then their doctor is doing a poor job.

there is a very big problem with blaming the suffering who find relief with this drug -- regardless of what their ailment is -- rather than blaming the systems and processes that lead to a supposed shortage that urged a price adjustment.

forgive me for diving into conspiracy for a second here..

do you really think for a second that the pharmaceutical groups responsible for this class of drug do not have the facilities to ramp up production?

They absolutely do -- the problem here is that since it's a gold-mine there is even more cash capture to occur with an added scarcity element, hence the price adjustment.

The price adjustment wasn't to champion the diabetics over the obese, it was to make more MONEY.

One of the benefits of building a cashflow-positive business is that it can return profits that exceed the initial investment.
without knowing the specifics, im gonna make a generic guess: she probably begins to realize that what she focused on during those years are not what she now realizes matters more. And she figures its probably not possible to perform a course correction at this point. I will no doubt be downvoted to oblivion for saying it, but this is becoming an increasingly big thing, in the next 10-20 years it will be an order of magnitude worse than now.
Nobody is asserting that they can.

In almost all of the West, crime is associated to poverty. If you commit a robbery, being a poor is an "explanation". Individuals are rarely blamed, your circumstances determine your behaviour not your values.

This assumption breaks down once you leave almost any inner-city area, see levels of poverty that are at least as high in rural areas and there are very little crimes against people (although things like drugs are often common).

Drugs are part of it, culture, attitudes towards poverty, police behaviour, sentencing, social policy (i.e. welfare state, healthcare)...but yes, crime is basically out of control in societies with virtually non-existent levels of poverty.

Also, this doesn't have much to do with the subject. In the US, there have been cases of children walking through residential neighbourhood, a neighbour calls the police, the parents are arrested and then have to give up their children (there was one case where the parents actually lost their jobs too because they had jobs working with children, and they put on a register for child abusers)...suburban people have a fetish for crimes against children, crimes like this get treated very harshly but they let shoplifters or robbers walk free because of inequality, police in the US have no capacity for working with the community, it is completely unrelated to reality.

So why not make the law something reasonable, related to how long the child is actually left in the vehicle, and whether the parent is creating a risk to the life of the child (based on temperature, for example)? It seems like the people who are likely to be influenced by this law are those who are sensitive/compliant enough to even know it exists, and people who would consider leaving their kids in the car and forgetting for 15 minutes would be completely unaffected.

There is no issue here. This is simply a story of the transfer of ownership between a company's founder to employees. The framing is incredibly weird, I hate it. The article could simply be rewritten as (not GPT3):

- Ray started to sell the ownership of Bridgewater in the mid 2010s, but retained a controlling interest in the company.

- He financed the buyout of his shares, providing liquidity to employees.

- There were struggles finding leadership that could competently carrying the fund forward.

- Current leadership has a vision of how the fund should operate going forward, and that vision conflicts with some of Ray's stated principles.

- As a result, leadership wants to buy him out entirely, but probably do not have the funds to do so. As a result, Ray is converting his ownership into non-voting preferred stock, conferring him dividend until the sooner of Bridgewater or Dalio's death.

All I can say is finally. The early stories of Bridgewater (pre 250 employees) from former employees with whom I have talked make Bridgewater seem like a truly special place to have worked at. Ray facilitated meetings across the org in a very personal, constructive way. Then AUM ballooned and they went to 2,000+ employees in a snap. Then they brought in consultants like IBM to scale their intimate management style and the last vestige of magic dissolved.

The fund was a zombie asset aggregator for a good 5-7 years. We'll see how it goes going forward.
