That is, I believe, misrepresenting the problem. Rather, it's more like

> It's fine for the small subset to self-select among many private schools. Apparently it’s only a problem when the masses similarly have choices.

And that makes sense, because 0.5% of people/funding/etc being taken out of schools isn't a big deal... but 20% starts to make a big impact.
It doesn’t sound like that at all. Nowhere in the parent comment did they mention or even imply that these were separate tickets.
That would be cool. And simple to do in Python with a small display. There are a number of projects on GitHub that can be easily modified to pull this off.
You should check what you wrote.
I agree that this might be a gap in the law, in theory. However, I've seen how many businesses work and they often don't have a process for randomly enriching production data from e-mails to the privacy department.

There's also the fact that the law does say that this personal data can only be use for the purpose of providing user data and must then be deleted. But we also know that there's little chance companies like this will do that.

It's a double edged sword, but I'm going to err on the side of danger and send in a data request anyway. My curiosity is much bigger than my fear of providing them my e-mail address.
Does anyone make a decent e-ink monitor yet?
Loads of names seem bad until they stop being words and turn into meaningless tokens. "iPad" received a ton of criticism, and now basically nobody cares.

But even with that said, I thought "Bluesky" seemed perfectly fine as a name. It's perhaps tying itself a bit to being an "escape" or "clean start" (implicitly "from twitter", now that many people are dissatisfied with Elon's leadership), but nobody is going to forget that aspect of the social media landscape for a while, so I don't think it's a problem.
Your first two examples are fraud, not speech. Your third example is speech, but if you remove the mugger and have a friend say the same thing to you it becomes a joke.

Taking a look at how much they receive in government subsidies quickly proves that, yes, they need protecting from themselves.
Then there is this lady who highlights fundamental issues with the way these vehicles operate. This isn't a teething problem that will be resolved with an OTA - it shows the tech isn't ready to be used on public streets and probably shouldn't ever be.

I believe the analogy is more a reference to the shape of paint drips as seen in the image on the page. The T model of skills has a single "descender" that represents deep knowledge in a single topic, whereas paint drips represent varying depths of knowledge in several areas.

> Learning just in case, the opposite of JIT makes sense too, but is "unpredictably effective" - the stuff you learned may be needed and put you ahead, but may not.

This is also a place to tailor things. If you are particularly good at learning ahead of time, then you can learn a lot of things "just in case" at a low cost, increasing the chances that something you learned is useful.

If you aren't especially good at it, then you're going to have much lower chances and JIT learning makes sense for all the reasons in TFA

> Dont put effort just for the sake of grades, they are worthless.

I'd like everyone who makes this claim to try submitting resumes of a fresh college graduate with a low C average to a dozen companies and see if even a single one of them calls back.

Grades are a means to an end, which is different than being worthless.
There's loads!

Historically it's not seen much investment, there are definite cultural issues but I see the sector as a sleeping giant that's often overlooked.

Here's a long lists of startups:

Regular Conferences:
NXT DEV,
AEC Tech run by Thornton Tomasetti,
MIPIM NY is a big PropTech event

I work for a construction tech startup (KOPE.ai) which is building a platform to bring the world of construction system manufacturing closer to that of architectural design.
They could always do like a lot,of different gigeconomy startups and completely ignore the law in the start, and afterwards lobby to have it legalized.
That's orthogonal to whether you use a simple form or not. Filtering out false leads is a hard problem though.
>"It’s also the best school in the entire state."

That is the problem. Why not make public schools better? Why is everyone else at a disadvantage. If our focus was on putting funding into 'all' schools, not just 'rich geographic locations', then everyone could be educated.

It isn't about 'Choice', it is about everyone getting a minimal education.

If you want to 'choose' to indoctrinate your kids into your particular religion of 'choice', that can be done at home. But everyone should learn the old Reading/Writing/Arithmetic.

Ah, didn't catch that :)

Indeed.

Sorry for misunderstanding!
> mean, as pointed out by a sibling comment, the reason it's so hard to shut those things down is that they benefit a lot of people and there's huge organic demand. Even the morality is hotly debated, there's no absolute consensus on the badness of those things

And mine is that this can also be true of a misaligned AI.

It doesn't have to be like Terminator, it can be slowly doing something we like and where we overlook the downsides until it's too late.

Doesn't matter if that's "cure cancer" but the cure has a worse than cancer side effect that only manifests 10 years later, or if it's a mere design for a fusion reactor where we have to build it ourselves and that leads to weapons proliferation, or if it's A/B testing the design for a social media website to make it more engaging and it gets so engaging that people choose not to hook up IRL and start families.

> But, what's new? That's the history of humanity. The communists, the Jacobins, the Nazis, all thought they were building a better world and had to have their "off switch" thrown at great cost in lives.

Indeed.

I would agree that this is both more likely and less costly than "everyone dies".

But I'd still say it's really bad and we should try to figure out in advance how to minimise this outcome.

> except the misaligned intelligences are called academics

Well, that's novel; normally at this point I see people saying "corporations", and very rarely "governments".

Not seen academics get stick before, except in history books.
Exactly - this is the tragic mistake of fixating on only one type of "victim".

The public school I went to was worse. If you were attacked by one of those disruptive kids you'd be suspended for starting a fight.
What makes a private school more likely to expell children?

Since they are a for profit enterprise, unlike public schools, wouldn't there be a financial incentive to have as many customers as possible?

In one particular area what is the reason a charter school would be better than a public school. Since the entry factor for most (excluding schools for smart kids) is money why wouldn't the same problems occur at a charter school? Finally, why can't we just fix public schools?
Maybe we should get rid of the 2 party system?
Do your company collect data over the sexual orientation of your employees, then check with a lawyer. If you are collecting the name, contact information, work phone number, banking information, personal identification, then all those are covered under the legitimate interest of job description, salary, and legally required insurance policies. HR policies which does not involve job description, does not involve salaries, and does not involve legally required policies such as insurance might require GDPR.

Logs containing IP addresses is exempted from GDPR for anything related to security. Processing the logs for purposes other than security require the complexity of GDPR handling. It is the purpose that define the complexity, not the logs.

PII is defined so broadly, but so is also its exceptions. Employers has to first know a bunch tax law and employment regulations related to employing people, and those do require specific legal documentation on impact analysis that must be kept up-to-date. People who do not do this can not employ people, or risk breaking the law (especially tax law).
I've been following the last 3 or 4 posts of people that have created these over the last few years, and I'm insanely jealous...so cool. I do agree with others that I already have too much news in my life and I don't think I'd really get real utility from this (which is important at a $2K+ price point). One thing that could be a really cool alternative is a version that displays a random Wikipedia article, or whatever Wikipedia article is "Today's Featured Article". Put that in front of your toilet, and it could be an evergreen source of entertainment.
> This is a behavioral habit, a disastrous one and potentially career-ending or at least progression-ending.

Or it's just that reality lurks somewhere and that hidden complexity will arise making the effort unsatisfying with roadblock happening too early.

Most people that achieve their pet project scope it into a narrow solution that don't address general problems. If your interest is the general problem, your solution is likely to be hard and complex, and narrowing it make it uninteresting.

Each experience is different, but since I stopped caring about half baked solution to general hard problems (New Web UI Framework ! Implementation automation !) and stopped daydreaming about building a solution, but merely thinking of the problem itself, I stopped plateauing and resumed a steady progress in my relationship with tech.
All the small things add up. You'd be surprised how effective they can be when combined

diamondap -- I see that you're an author yourself, do you know much about how the industry functions on the publisher side? I'm trying to learn more about the space (both out of personal curiosity as I've been working on a book myself and because the more I learn the more I'm interested in building something in the industry).

If you're willing to chat, happy to ping you through your website!

People start companies, but they're more "sole proprietor plumbing services" and less "spending someone else's money on customer acquisition in hopes of 1000x exit" so it's not what people categorize as "startups."

There's no magic construction sauce that will let you scale up to taking over the entire market, so it doesn't attract that sort of investment.

You get related startups for software to manage projects, building codes, etc, but not for doing the actual construction part.
Unfortunately you can't access the service without an account.

If money is literally being diverted, why can't it be called 'syphoning'?

Guess it depends on the state.

In my state, public dollars are literally, pulled from public schools, and given to private schools, which can then teach religion as fact.

How is that not 'syphoning'?
Acceptance. But I got there in no time. I'm depressed, that we can be as good and green as we want in EU, we will always have these people having fun just wasting resources like driving rolling coal. We have a globalized world. Covid showed even more issues: We have so many air planes that we cannot really have them all on ground so they are supposed to be airborne. Just looking at Flightradar makes me shudder. We can have nice and green cities, E-cars, bikes, public transport and so on, but I'm also aware of the conditions in Africa and South East asia where thousands of cars, scooter and other outdated tech just pollutes the air and wastes tons by just being stuck in traffic jams.
America, where energy is rather cheap, seems to build houses that look like paper to me. Imagine there would be energy passes for buildings that would show how much energy is needed per square meter room it provides. I believe most buildings would his G grades.
I'm trying my best to act as rational as I can. I own a car and despite it's sporty type I'm a very judicious driver. I rarely use the breaks to reduce speed by just knowing my care and observe the traffic and situation. After 150k km mileage (60k on my own) I finally decided to replace the brakes. Every time I came in for service they told me, I should renew the brakes. And when I commissioned to renew the brakes the chef called me to ensure if I really wanted to do that because the brakes would last a bit longer. Hilarious!
I observe a lot, listen to people's stories, and have come to the conclusion that most people are just not considerate and don't want to be. I understand that it doesn't make sense to lecture them. In 99% it won't change anything. People who are really interested are mostly already optimizing and quite good at it. And then it's circle jerk of a minority while the majority keeps acting dumb from the minority's perspective.
All that just leaves me with my depressing thoughts about being a single small being on a planet with billions of people and a stupid system that cannot be improved and most beings just try to get through somehow. And I'm not going to start ranting about all the (energy) waste caused by the greed, profit and lies of minor beings doing scams or powerful beings with great influence in politics and business.
And my experience is that the idea you can just "tell yourself to avoid it" is basically baloney.

Replacement on the other hand... That seems to genuinely work. You just have to pick a replacement that isn't dreadful.

My experience: I gained ~90lbs over 12 years. I didn't over eat horribly, but I also didn't exercise much, and my job keeps me stationary.

Instead of trying to not eat (dieting - which I have tried several times over those 12 years, never with long term success) this last time I took a different approach: I picked the easiest, most enjoyable, exercise I could think of and added that.

That exercise turned out to be biking - but not even just biking, because biking is still pretty hard when you're 90lbs overweight and I'd had other exercise attempts fail because they were unpleasant (ex: jogging). E-biking, though... that's pretty easy and nice.

So an e-bike it was. It's totally cheating with a bike: it makes biking feel relaxing, tackles the hills with ease, always gives you a cooling breeze - basically: it's just enjoyable and refreshing.

12.5 months later and I'm down 50 lbs. It turns out that I didn't need some dreadful, healthy, righteous activity to replace the bad ones. I just needed something small and enjoyable I could do as an alternative. Something that wouldn't dig the hole deeper.

I set absolutely zero rules around dieting/eating. I didn't actively avoid anything at all. I just added a small enjoyable activity with very low activation cost.

Essentially: It's hard to avoid a bad (but pleasurable) activity if the alternative is boredom or chores (ex: jogging). It's easy to avoid it by giving yourself a different pleasurable activity to pick.

> isn't your email address firstname.lastname@gmail.com, as for most folks

I'm going to guess that for 'most folks' there's probably someone else with the same name and therefore this way of guessing someone's email address is far from reliable.

It's actually so unreliable that one email address I have receives mail for others who for some reason think it's their email. This includes plane tickets, accounts for phone contracts and order confirmations.

What I don't understand is why products like Facebook and Google Analytics (up to 3?) ship PII to US. The owners have data centers in EU and should be able to process the data enough for it to be OK to send to US.

Personally I'd like to see more transparency in their usability research, because GNOME is best know for removing features, which is what they'd like to do this time around as well.

I don't know what is usually used, but I do know that it is correct to say that you acquire diseases that you aren't born with, like malaria. So, yes, one does certainly acquire STDs. It depends with cancer. Some cancers are inherited, some are acquired.

Yes, you can also acquire a car, but I'm not sure why that might lead one to think that "acquired malaria" is incorrect...

Historically, people have been reticent for some reason to call it an Action/RPG, preferring to call it Action/Adventure instead, and IIRC the crux of the argument was usually "Link does not gain experience points or level-up, ergo it's not a full RPG."

It's a silly argument, IMO, but at the time "RPG" in everyone's minds meant either JRPG (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest) or PC RPG (Baldur's Gate, etc).
They don't need to switch MTurk off, at least not for the clients. They could turn off the workers, and replace them with AI.

I dunno who would continue to use it, rather than use the AI engine directly, but there could be a market for it. But they'd certainly need to make certain clients knew about it, since one major use of MTurk is to do surveys and studies whose whole point is to sample human beings.

Acceptance.

We all know we're watching a slow moving train wreck. We all know our lives are going to be greatly impacted in ways we can't even imagine, up to and including dying as a result. We all know we could have prevented this catastrophe but refused to do so for reasons.

What I sincerely hope is as humanity comes out the other side of this disaster, they will have learned how to spot the disingenuous, the charlatans, and the liars. Those people will still exist, of course, and there will still be people swayed by them, but hopefully they'll be on the fringe and have no power to effect their lunacy.

This may not happen of course, but I hope it does. Which brings me to the sixth stage of grief: hope. Now that I've accepted what's going to happen to us, I hope our civilization is so much the stronger for it and we can set aside the BS that's been plaguing us for centuries once and for all.
Marketing emails are noise.

I get on average 5-10 emails a day that are unsolicited snake-oil emails, each one as chatty and friendly as the last.

Each also has its own method of unsubscribing - some require email replies, some to links that require you to type in your email address, a few have even asked me to create and account to unsubscribe!

In 7 years I have actually replied to exactly one email positively- and that’s because it had the following aspects:

1) Obvious human involvement regarding personalized email.
2) A promise that if I did not reply within 7 days that they’d automatically remove me.
3) A promise that I’d not get any more follow up.
4) Missed the Spam detection so was in my Inbox
5) Came in at exactly the same time we were discussing an initiative.

Even then, we never followed through later on - and we never heard from them again.
So you have perfect knowledge of consequences for everything you do in your life?

Just as a reminder, in 2021 there were close to 250 million estimated malaria cases worldwide, with an estimated ~600.000 deaths according to WHO, so it is very much a concern for the world even though it was eradicated in the USA
