I wonder if subscription payments could be handled at the payment provider level. Ideally when I use a payment method at a merchant, I would be able to choose between one time payment, and recurring payment. If I choose recurring payment, a token is generated, and I can revoke / cancel the token from my payment provider's website / app.

I see a viscious cycle if being policed aggressively, producing further poverty, increasing crime, encouraging more aggressive policing.

The evidence I have seen is that more aggressive policing fundamentally fails at changing systemic poverty that is the root of the issue, and the funding that is funnelled into it would be better put into things like drug programmes to rehabilitate people, social programmes to help people keep in education/work, funding for safe and legal opportunities for kids, support for education and public facilities so people get opportunity to improve their situations generationally, etc...

Race is a factor becuase slavery and post-slavery racism have created a huge wealth gap, and redlining pushed black people into these areas. Yes, of course crime is more prevelant in these areas, but that doesn't mean race isn't a factor. It doesn't have to be police officers thinking "I'm going to be racist today" for it to unfairly hurt people based on race.
I find it kind of strange to call Threads DOA, especially from lack of hashtags which haven't been relevant on Twitter for years.

It is a non-issue for customers. It's the same trap as a gym membership. Ideally, they want people to subscribe and just leave it running without actually using it. The best way to maximize that is to put speed bumps to cancelling. In the instance of a gym membership, you have to go in there to cancel and sign papers and all that. Imagine if everyone with a gym membership actually showed up every day, there would be a line circling the place like an iPhone launch.

The issue is they don't want to remove their speed bump because that speed bump equates to a ton of revenue every month without the cost of user load.
The Boring Company was always a cynical device for creating opposition to rail and subway transit projects.
> You can't claim that's it's even "widely accepted" that the axiom of choice is "true".

I have never claimed anything like that. The original comment was a reaction to the notion of "true but unprovable" which is wrong because what is true is precisely what is provable. You may have an intuitive notion of "true", but with logic, the devil is in the details. In my experience, it is better to stick to the mathematical definitions, especially when talking about things like the incompleteness theorem.

Now, the mathematical notions are as follows. First, you agree on some deduction rules, then some axioms (aka a theory), and by definition, what is true is what is satisfied by every model of the theory. A completeness theorem is then a theorem that states that what is true is precisely what is provable. (Proved by Gödel for classical logic.)

Of course, you may disagree with the choice of axioms. However, when introducing a new axiom, mathematicians don't argue whether it is "true" or not, they have to justify in one way or another that it is relatively consistent. The same thing is true for the deduction rules. In other words, consistency, not truth, is the right metric for axioms and deduction rules. Finally, observe that mathematicians who argue against the axiom of choice or the law of excluded middle do not claim that these are false, they claim that these are not constructive. Yet another notion not to be confused with truth.
Florida's state government has taken Harmful Algae Blooms (HABs) very seriously for years now. There are many local, state, and national apparatuses deployed to monitor and deal with the problem for freshwater lakes, rivers, canals, and wetlands. I'm surprised this article mentions only the reservoir as a solution to the problem when it is very much a multi-prong approach.

Warning: long somewhat related story that is basically humblebragging, but the summary is that bypassing Twitter ratelimits is not very hard.

I didn't feel like playing around with Twitter's annoying certificate pinning so I just uploaded the Twitter APK to Corellium, turned on what they call the "network monitor", opened the Twitter app since it lets you use Twitter without signing in. I clicked around, searched and viewed tweets. Then I looked at the requests in the log and saw it has a similar guest token process to the website but with a few differences. Anyways, if you recreate these requests, with one IP address you can generate a few OAuth tokens with no expiry per day. These tokens are for unauthenticated users so obviously they have no write privileges but that's not what was needed here. So if you have a proxy provider with a large pool of IPs where you can buy like 1GB of bandwidth you can use a very small percent of your bandwidth allowance and get thousands of tokens/secrets easily, all with their own separate rate limits. It doesn't even matter what IP you end up using the tokens on. Then I followed https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xVrPoNutyqTdQ04DXBEZW4ZW... and the fact that /statuses/lookup.json still allows you to return 100 (!) tweets at once to reconstruct something close to what the 50% Twitter firehose would look like. And Twitter doesn't even block datacenter IP addresses! Was going to display the data at https://firehose.lol but the fact that it required a few hundred requests a second made me feel bad so I didn't end up running the program for more than a few minutes at a time and shut it down.

Looking at (a fraction of) the Firehose for a few minutes was interesting, originally I accidentally forgot to not display tweets labelled possibly_sensitive so I saw some pretty salacious material for a few seconds. Lots of Chinese gambling ads even though Twitter is blocked there, dubious investment promoters, accounts with usernames like FirstnameLastname3781264872 who would tweet three random words at each other every couple of seconds, and a handful of funny tweets.
I've always thought it would be neat to use sparklines to display trends in comment scores. You could see if a comment was monotonically being voted up or down or if it's considered controversial, and if so, to what extent. It would help distinguish between bandwagon/brigading activity and genuine organic rejection or appeal.

And it's often interesting to see trends or cycles emerge as people in different geographical regions wake up and log on. Some comments play much better in the US than in Asia or the EU and vice versa, and sparklines would be a good way to observe that.
We do, and we'd love to use it in the future. We've found that it's not ready for prime time yet and it's missing some features.

You're argument is basically, "It's really hard so we shouldn't try."

A good social scientist understands everything you're pointing out. This isn't news to anyone nor is it even really controversial.

But we can witness phenomena in society so people try and understand them. Would you prefer we not try and understand them? Just give up because it's too hard to figure out?

An example is the recent sale of Google Domains to Squarespace. Seems like it was a profitable product, why get rid of it? I'm sure they worked very hard on selling Google Domains, doesn't seem like it actually benefited Google as a company in the long term. Working hard isn't helpful if you don't have a solid vision for what you're working toward.

In fact working slower with a more coherent vision is often better, since you actually get closer to a goal rather than just bouncing around between undefined local maxima as fast as you can.
Nostalgia of having lived a unique period in human history when computer capabilities were evolving by leaps and bounds by the year. Nothing is even close to that nowadays.

Like, I brought my first 386 SX-25 Mhz home from college campus when vacation arrived and so replaced the ZX-Spectrum that my younger brother was using. Arrived home late in the evening, my brother was nearly delirious with excitement but didn't have much time to play with the PC coze parents demanded he goes to sleep, afterwards what big deal, there's plenty of time to do whatever in the morning (parents sensitivity never changes).

He told me he barely closed an eye that entire night, checking the clock every half hour waiting for the dawn. When I woke up it was day outside and my brother was typing on the PC keyboard.

Today (almost 30 years later) he tells me nothing in the World can replicate that experience. You could offer him the most preposterous Windows gaming machine or ridiculously expensive Mac, he'd check it for like 5 minutes, say "nice" then shrug and go to sleep :)
And electric, while it might not be as meaningful right now due to starting costs, the reduction in maintenance and operating costs might make the model more viable.

> Two strikingly different types of areas experience high police vehicle deployments — 1) dense, higher-income, commercial areas and 2) lower-income neighborhoods with higher proportions of Black and Hispanic residents. We discuss the implications of these disparities for policing equity and for algorithms trained on policing data.

You can see the history of police in this. Uniformed police depts were founded by merchants wanting to protect their property and socialize the costs.

Prior to uniformed police, we had town watch/night watch/shire reeves . These folks were drawn from the citizenry and pulled a shift watching things, and it was considered quite a nuisance and unglamorous.

Eventually, wealthy folks started paying others to take their shifts on the watch, and a cottage industry emerged. At that time, watches were still loosely organized and without uniform.

In the mid 1800s, two phenomena occurred that molded police. The first was the idea that a uniformed guard would have a preventative effect on crime in wealthier areas (which resulted in early police depts in London and Boston, iirc). And the second was the increasingly structured and bold slave patrols. The two concepts both focused on protecting wealth (at that time, slaves were property just like warehouses and factories).

Over time, the two merged somewhat. Some police departments emerged directly from slave patrols, others never had anything to do with slave patrols and instead focused on protecting docks and the like.

The results of this research saying, "wealth and race seem to be where police are deployed" is a fascinating rhyme to the origins of police.

(Note, I'm deliberately not saying "cause" or "reflection" here - I do not have the data to say why police are deployed this way. I'm just noting the way it rhymes with history.)
I have personal experience with Greece trying very hard to manage the public impression of safety in Greek waters. They understand that tourism is a key source of income do do some positive things try and keep it safe but they will also go to lengths to hide places where it might look bad.

The event I'm talking about is this one: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/mar/22/world.travelnews (an article which seems got the detail mostly right, which is unusual for anything I have direct knowledge of). I worked in that same resort teaching sailing the subsequent year (while legal proceedings were still pending), working with almost everyone named in the article. So from them and speaking to the RYA I have some detail (that I'm confident in) as to what happened.

It was light winds, and three girls were sailing a catamaran and for a bit of fun were trapezing on both sides of the boat. The boat capsized and turned completely over. One of the girls ended up under the boat, became entangled in the trapeze wire and got her trapeze hook caught in the trampoline (canvas 'deck' of the catamaran). This meant that she was trapped underwater, and held there by various bits of metal that couldn't easily be cut. The rescue boats got there pretty quickly, but couldn't get her out. Colin gave her oxygen mouth to mouth while she slowly drowned.

This was a pretty freak accident. There were some improvements to general safety procedures that came out of it (carry heavy duty wire snips in rescue boats, training in how to rapidly right boats that had turtled, also some trapeze harness designs that release the hook), but I can't see anything that the beach or rescue teams did wrong. If the same incident had happened at almost any other watersports centre the results would have been the same.

That didn't stop the Greek's from prosecuting (and finding guilty) the watersports manager and deputy manager for negligence. From what we can tell that was politically motivated because it was a story that gained publicity and Greece wanted to protect the reputation of their watersports industry.

I don’t know. Not an UX expert. But I think the key is the right amount of information. Too much and not enough is both equally bad.

But we have much bigger screens than many years ago when thunderbird was initially designed.

Laptop screens stayed mostly the same sizes, so it makes sense to adjust density to the device type you are using or the window size. This is already done for smartphones, mobile websites usually have much smaller paddings. Same is usually done for iOS vs iPad apps.

It's important to note that common sense itself is a bias. It's a bias towards what we already think. Don't mistake that as trying to say that for "we should avoid priors" - that's not possible. What would it take for you to soften (not move) your priors on the common sense that "police aren't co-creators in crime through the act of observation"?

What is the definition of left leaning as it pertains to a newspaper? Is this an impression you have or is there a roughly objective criterion that the NYT meets to called left leaning?
Presumably time of day is evident from the photo or photo metadata.
Most markets with zero distribution and switching costs are winner-take-all. The only reason newspapers were regional to begin with was that it cost a lot of money to print and ship them, once the Internet made that stop being true, the natural equilibrium was toward only a few large papers and the rest dying off.
> The left leaning NY times, and the right leaning WSJ

Neither are left or right. They are both serve the interest of the same ambidextrous elite.

Also, in the internet era, all newspapers are 'national' ( or even 'international' ) since they are all equally accessible by the population via their news feeds. All news essentially has national or global distribution now.
Why does this "minerals in the water are important" myth keep persisting?

Do yourself a favor and calculate:

1) The specific minerals in the water you want to consume

2) The daily values for each of those minerals

3) Figure out the water you'd need to drink to meaningfully contribute towards hitting those DVs

Hint: It's in the tens to hundreds of gallons of water per day for tap water.

Filter the water and pop a multivitamin, expecting to get significant "minerals" from tap water is a joke.
Are you arguing that more police does help against crime, but does not raise the amount of crime discovered by the police?

I'm not far into it, so I don't know how good it will be. However FX's 'Class of 2009' seems interesting too where FBI agents have AI strapped to them feeding the dataset at all times. The show jumps between 2009, 2023, and like 2035 or something and the implications of such a system.
Because even after controlling for income, American police still disproportionately mistreat Black people.

I'm struggling to find the data right now, but I believe the source was Phillip Atiba Goff. The tl;dr is that Black people are treated violently by police at a rate of several times that of white people, even once you control for socioeconomic status.
Just because you happen to do a trivial and menial job, it doesn't mean that every software developer does.

I agree. And yet many people in positions of power look at twitter as a kind of real-time polling tool. They look at twitter reactions and think they know what people in general are feeling and doing. Then they make real decisions based on this false belief. And they do this because they are starved for information of this kind, and even though it's terrible, twitter is the only signal they have.

This desire to shape public discourse, and the decisions of the powerful, are the real stakes that drive twitter gladiators. You're right though, it's not discourse - it's "zealous advocacy" as interpreted by a peurile and distracted public.
and it's 90% influencers / brand advocates. meaningless noise. 80% of the time I'm muting accounts. also, 100% of those "new users" are instagram accounts that have simply enabled the integration...
> In my own anecdotal experience, I’ve seen a lot more “fake work” come from listless leadership that lacks a true vision for the product.

Since an acquisition at a company I used to work for full-time and remained on call as a contractor with for some time after, I have seen this happen in a very impressive way.

Critical tech debt has gone unpaid as site performance degrades to the point of outages, but the new staff don't seem to know how to do anything except throw more hardware at the problem.

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, I got an inquiry from them about "administrator passwords" for a list of a dozen or so programs in use on their developer machines, including 7-zip and Notepad++.

There were around a dozen items and all of them but some IDEs were completely open-source software. All of them were only deployed and run locally, with no administrative passwords or commercial licensing purchased. This inquiry came many months after I had left, including an extensive and agonizing knowledge transfer process.

There's no way the person asking me was such an idiot that he didn't realize that Notepad++ has no administrative passwords. But he asked me anyway. I can only assume this is because some wrathful idiot asked him to do this, and he knew that performing the ceremony of asking me as he was directed to do would be easier to deal with than just answering the inquiry directly with the parts he knew himself.

Once you have somebody generating fake work like that at the top, where can things possibly go other than down?

That seems an argument for all education to take place inside academia. Keep in mind that liking to read history books is not equivalent to a university degree in history.

Yeah, that's ultimately it, it's seen as more valuable because you can make good money in tech. Though I'd argue that much of that may not be the case - are those with science and math education making money hand over fist?
