IT workers need to produce unionization and collective bargaining materials the way we produce open source software. For example, Atlassian has some materials regarding "Incident Management" that are easy for an organization to implement and expand upon. It's going to require effort from the employees themselves to get engaged in an environment that is extremely hostile towards labor organization.

Everyone in here talking about "why would they offer US pay to Non-US workers", that is exactly the point. You should be insulted that your employer is looking to depressed markets to further depress YOUR value and YOUR wages. The solution, of course, is solidarity with these new workers: If they're doing the same work as you, they should be making the same pay. This encourages the employer to play fair.

Your argument seems to say that if you give people UBI, they will work more. I doubt that.
My main complaint with AWS's UI is everything is needlessly complicated and manual, unintuitive, and covered by sprawling documentation. In direct comparison to GCP, I can find out how to do almost anything of interest within the creation wizard provided in the UI itself, but if I do need documentation, there will be two or three gcloud commands which do what I need, and I'm off to the races.

Curious to hear your specific complaints with GCP.
I took a closer look at your link and the book it references. Who knows? I could be in a bubble or just have missed important info about it. I'll readily admit, I do not hold The Washington Examiner in high regard for its journalistic integrity, and the book seemed like a typical partisan hatchet job.

But I could be wrong. It's always important to examine where we're wrong, where our assumptions lead us astray. Here's where it went off the rails.

> In the '08 campaign, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman was running for re-election against Democrat Al Franken. It was impossibly close; on the morning after the election, after 2.9 million people had voted, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes.

> Franken and his Democratic allies dispatched an army of lawyers to challenge the results. After the first canvass, Coleman's lead was down to 206 votes. That was followed by months of wrangling and litigation. In the end, Franken was declared the winner by 312 votes. He was sworn into office in July 2009, eight months after the election.

Would it surprise you to learn that the recount did not occur due to "Franken's army of lawyers" but instead because ALL ELECTIONS in Minnesota by Minnesota law MUST have a recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5%? I certainly didn't get that important but if info from the Examiner or the passage quoted from the book.

So where did Franken's extra votes come from? Thin air? The cemeteries? No. 953 absentee ballots had been mistakenly rejected. Not all of the absentee votes went to Franken of course, but enough did where the lead shifted.

Was it a close race? Yes. Was it a contentious race? An eight-month saga to be sure. Did the election go through a far greater amount of scrutiny that most elections? Most definitely!

Now ask yourself this question honestly: do you think the Washington Examiner and the book would have been this inflammatory in their description of events had Coleman won by 0.01%? Would they have called any legislation narrowly passed/rejected with Coleman's senate votes suspect or illegitimate?

Answer: no. The Washington Examiner continues to be a partisan mouthpiece created solely because conservatives didn't like The Washington Post calling them out all the time. Same by the way for The New York Post regarding The New York Times. The names chosen were conspicuously close to the papers of record precisely because they wanted to muddy the waters.

Just partisan wrangling? I think not. The WaPo and NYT both regularly issue corrections to their news reporting. Any news outlet will make mistakes, and any honest news outlet will issue corrections/retractions without having been legally required to do so, even if it materially subverts the original news report.

If you can find three prominently-displayed and substantive corrections/retractions by The Washington Examiner that were not court-ordered, I will publicly apologize here and concede the point.

For point of reference, public substantive corrections look like this:

The chronological feed has been mentioned a few times, but I wanted to point out that most servers have a “local” feed you can browse as well, which is also chronological and shows all the posts made on the server. This can be a way to keep up with what people are talking about, without committing to following a ton of people, or getting lost in a randomly-changing timeline.
I appreciate you bringing this up. I myself suffered from this type of thinking: "if I am struggling with something, that must mean I am not good at it, and shouldn't waste time on it". The idea that you need to struggle a bit, get better at things little by little, look at how much progress you've making over time and then decide whether it's for you or not I think is much healthier thinking
Just because this approach works doesn't mean this is the only approach out there. I sincerely believe that this thought has singlehandedly retarded progress towards more generic cancer treatments. Immune checkpoint inhibition is a clear proof that you could make one drug that could attack a wide swathe of cancers. Heck even chemo is proof of that. If this is the research you want to focus on, please go ahead. But don't tell the public the continuous half truth that every cancer is unique with no commonality with any other cancer. They all literally share the same DNA, they can't be that different. Consider the possibility that the entire cancer research community is just too dumb to discover globally effective drugs. Unless you can mathematically prove its impossibility I'll say let's not make that statement.

Interesting experiment and a good start at evaluating the concept, in particular, the fact that they compared to other methods makes it way stronger than similar concepts that forget to even compare to index. However, even though they clearly tried to avoid obvious pitfalls of backtesting, they also left lots of potential sources for bias.

Their method of collecting news is based on what popped up in their post-facto web search, it also relied on them classifying them for relevance. This can generate bias compared to, for instance, feeding all articles tweeted from a specific news source irregardless of "relevance". I also wonder what assumptions they've made about timing, slight errors in timing estimated could have huge impact on results.

The fact that the shorting seemed to make for the most part of the gains (although the long strategy was not terrible at 50% gain vs index going down) might also be something somewhat biased towards the fact that this was a downturn year and it might not fare as well in a more regular year.
I know my Facebook feed died in the years following their change to not have it post my friends ridiculous photos and silly posts. I don’t really miss those, so maybe they would’ve gone away anyway, but as someone who’s only on Facebook because it’s where Blood Bowl and Kill Team events get arranged (for whatever reason), as in, someone who doesn’t follow anything, it’s been years since my feed wasn’t completely dead.

I’ll admit that I’m friends with two Facebook warriors, and while it was sometimes enjoyable I eventually ended up muting them after they met each other in some political discussion and I felt like I had unlocked some sort of achievement. (They don’t know each other).
Are you conflating 'right' with 'abnormal' in that sentence then?

The GRAIL press release [1] has more detailed stats.

> The analysis showed strong performance of GRAIL’s MCED methylation-based platform in the symptomatic population of more than 6,000 patients and demonstrated the feasibility of using an MCED test to assist clinicians with decisions around the route of referral from primary care.

> Within the study, 368 (6.7%) of the 5,461 evaluable patients were diagnosed with cancer through standard of care. The most common cancer diagnoses were colorectal (37.2%), lung (22.0%), uterine (8.2%), oesophago-gastric (6.0%) and ovarian (3.8%).

> GRAIL’s MCED test detected a cancer signal in 323 people, 244 in whom cancer was diagnosed, resulting in a positive predictive value (PPV) of 75.5%, negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.6%, and specificity of 98.4%. The overall sensitivity of the MCED test was 66.3%, ranging from 24.2% in stage I cancers to 95.3% in stage IV, and increased with age and later cancer stage. The overall accuracy of the top CSO prediction after a positive MCED test was 85.2%. The mean age of patients in the study was 62.1 years old.

Indeed impressive, but compared to when the demo scene fist started, a C64 programmer today has access to all the world’s knowledge via the Internet, and is not constrained by having to host the development environment on the same machine used for testing. Just the fact that you don’t have to reboot the entire setup and possibly even recreate your program every time it crashes, will greatly improve development throughout.

Keyboard mapping is fine on macOS (though most of those posts seem related to software or functionality I would never use). Keyboard-only experience is a lot more than keyboard mapping.

Consider window management, for example. If we're talking about using the keyboard for nearly everything, window management is one of the most fundamental parts of interacting with a computer. Linux has dozens of keyboard-based tiling window managers. You have only a few options on macOS, and they are all weak by comparison. Yabai is passable if you partially disable SIP so it can manage spaces, but it still has pretty limited functionality compared to herbstluftwm and bspwm (which is what it's mimicking) and feels hacky.

Similarly, cli tools are very popular on linux, and it is very easy to bind keys to them. Luckily a lot of tools work on both linux and mac, but this is not always the case. Replicating my global hotkeys has been an annoyance on macOS in some cases because of this. In linux, you have control of and multiple options for basically everything (e.g. bootloader, what you use for networking, what you use for notifications, etc.). In the case of notifications, on linux I can just bind a key to "dunstctl close-all" to close all notifications or "dunstctl history-pop" to show old notifications. My notification daemon is designed with scriptability in mind. If I want to have a similar keybinding on macOS I have to go through an arduous process of trying to find some up-to-date applescript snippet that actually works and isn't slow (couldn't find one that met either requirement) or learn to use some other automation tool. Unlike the WM case, I'm sure it's possible, it's just that macOS is just very clearly not designed with the use-case of keyboard for everything in mind. It can still support it very well, but with linux I can have it so that non-keyboard-friendly software just doesn't exist on my system. I don't need to workaround it.
What you say is well reported are Musk claims that they donated a ton of services of free but the reporting I've seen that try to verify these claims always say that there was concurrent government buying (presumably at inflated prices) which makes it unclear how much if any net donation was actually made.

If I sell the government a widget at 10x retail price and then throw in two extra for "free" I can go to the press and say that I'm a humanitarian donor. If you are Elon Musk people will actually believe it.

UBI is just direct wealth redistribution. It doesn’t actually create more housing, it just makes poorer people have more money to bid on housing and richer people have less money to bid on housing. As the landlord, probably rents on lower end properties will rise and and rents on higher end properties will fall if all of UBI was spent on housing and the taxes used to pay for it came out of housing budgets.
I think this phenomenon happens to all early social services. A large social network might have the normal 90/9/1 rule apply, but in the early adoption space your userbase skews toward the 9/1 portion. It will be interesting to watch if it regresses to the mean as it grows.

I know networks like satnogs let you receive signals from different areas to account for the short transmission windows. I don't think the satellites on satnogs allow for uplink though? Can this only be done through something like aws groundstation?
Yes, this is the core idea behind the Space Development Agency's NDSA / PWSA (Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.) To this end, the SDA has already contracted SpaceX to launch large dual-use Starlink satellites (called Starshield) specialized for military use.

It's more likely the money would go to landowners, just as it does now.

Unlike food, fuel, etc, housing is artificially capped at a level lower than demanded, thus prices of housing (either in terms of rent, mortgage payments etc) increase to soak up every spare penny.
I mean I'm open to the idea that pedagogically, full rigour is not always required (depending on the audience)... although there are certainly always certain people who are not going to be satisfied with seemingly "intuitive" explanations such as "infinitesimally" small, people are different after all.

But instead of saying "I'm not proving things rigorously because [reasons]", he's claiming that rigour doesn't really exist or has no importance which is kind of crazy for the reasons you mentioned.
Computer Vision in cars is trained on supervised data -- ie., human-labelled.

It’s an interesting exercise to calculate the two components of irradiance as a function of Venus’s angular distance from the sun: the 1/r^2 component derived from the Earth–Venus distance, and the geometric factor that depends on the angle of illumination.

IMO, it's probably reasonable for Ukraine to pay civilian prices for the terminals[1]. But service should absolutely be at a premium.

The reason Starlink is being used by Ukraine in the first place is because Russia completely compromised Viasat and bricked every user terminal in Ukraine (and a bunch near by). It's expensive AF to defend against constant cyber attack from a capable state-level opponent.

---

1. When the terminals first came out, SpaceX substantially subsidized the cost of the terminals - to the tune of a year's worth of payments. I could see how this could make sense for them if the terminals are supposed to last for a very long time (10+ years).

But their use in a war zone is probably much harder on the terminals. They're getting moved around way more often than a residential install. They're probably being targeted by the Russians. And accidents just happen in wars.

I have no idea how much SpaceX currently subsidizes the consumer price of terminals, or how long the average terminal lasts in Ukraine. But I think it's pretty reasonable to adjust or even eliminate SpaceX subsidies on hardware depending on the exact value of those numbers.
Use common sense? Is the statement that a business person would prefer to be paid 10x rather than 1x contentious? Is Musk especially different in some way that would make this not true?

If you want to argue about whether I should have qualified the statement with "it's very likely", or "it stands to reason", okay.
This is untrue. I am not sure where you get it from - but you can go look at the twitter comments (before Elon owned twitter) from the government and NGOs, and take a look at current statements from people in-theater.
(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/feb/09/zelenskiy-aide....)

Elon got cold feet when the Russians started threading Starlink with targeting with ASAT weapons, and when the Ukrainians (despite agreements) used starlink to remotely guide UAVs in Russia. Now that the UAVs are hitting Russia without starlink, and the Russians have backed off of threading to wipe out all American Satellites (which almost certainly lead to a nuclear confrontation since it would also blind detection systems), its less of a issue.

Yep. One reason why giving out pointers/references all willynilly to items in something like a std::vector can be fraught with peril. If you push to that vector, it could trigger a realloc of all of the previous items, leaving you with dangling pointers to everything you previously took references of.

I think this is also reflective of Starlink moving towards more military and governmental uses as well. Starshield (Starlink + some very very interesting payload options) is going to be a game changer to the point that the Russians, Europeans and Chinese have to respond with their own LEO constellations.
