I relatively often click on ads for new electronic musical instruments, even though I rarely buy them. These are just interesting things to see, some actually novel.

I sometimes click on ads about things related to IT and programming, if they mention something novel and important, just to be aware of the landscape, and what potential competition are pushing.

I see ads relatively rarely though, because I run uBlock Origin. So the ads I see are usually placed in context with some care, not just randomly tucked on to an unrelated webpage. Most of the ads are really poor, as I can see if I use an unprotected browser.
Talk the talk, walk the walk. Lets see, talk is cheap. Specially if Europe follows the trend.
TBH I don't know, and I think there's a real chance that there's going to be actual changes in how people behave as a result - which, if it's integrated like many other social changes will become another layer in the fabric of society, displacing another layer. For better or worse I think it's just an exposure thing.

You are persistently surveilled in London and Shanghai and New York City - yet people act just as unhinged in ways they did before cameras were installed.

I'm not sure what other data acquisition/technology arc is possible though, and open to ideas.
Why not a similarly brave stance in China? In China Apple claims it "obeys all local laws" except in the UK it wants to be courageous? I guess it's a brave state unless the $$$ are good.

> If you truly believe that this is the supported medical intervention, then you should be able to find a clear explanation of this - including the adults who are giving the child these restrictions and this gendered-soul vocabulary - and the surgical interventions it requires. A doctor and their clinic should have this on their webpage and they should be proud of the work they do.

Believe it or not this information is extremely easy to find and the standards of care used by a huge number of practitioners (WPATH) are free to download and peruse at your leisure: https://www.wpath.org/publications/soc

As just one example, the Boston children's hospital has their Guidelines and Standards of Care listed in multiple places on their website. This of course did not help them avoid the avalanche of bomb threats they received from individuals who were presumably very concerned and willing to listen.

Let's not pretend doctors aren't incentivized to over-prescribe meds by the pharmaceutical companies.
A lot of the "deep web" stuff is behind paywalls (like background investigation sites) now. But a number of years ago when some of them were still pretty open, I was pretty floored by how much information you could get on a person if they had an uncommon name and/or you knew just a little bit about them.

There is a lot of information that's public as a matter of law--which arguably, in many cases, hasn't reconciled that a lot of public information is no longer just stored in a file cabinet in some dusty county or town clerk's office.

>sense that I got was that name changes for men are logistically challenging.

To the degree that's true I assume that women changing their names when they get married (or divorced) has been such a norm for centuries that it doesn't invite scrutiny (although I've heard plenty of complaints about what a headache it can be in terms of various IT systems etc.) I assume when men do it, there might be at least a suspicion that something shady is going on.
It's physics-enthusiast for "time goes one way".
DNT was ignored from the time it was implemented.

The only way it ever would have been respected if it was required to cryptographically sign an acceptance of cookies, then the server was required to retain that attestation as proof of acceptance, subject to legal liability if they were found in possession of tracking data without a valid attestation.

Absent enforceability, even when the server actively and maliciously decided to ignore it, it was a toothless solution.

Really good, brief post.
The NSA monitoring any and all electronic communications (foreign and domestic) that they can get their hands on, without a warrant.

The federal government cutting off financial services for legal but disliked industries such as the gun industry (see the Obama admin's Operation Chokepoint).

The Canadian government freezing the bank accounts of those who supported the trucker protest.

Not directly related to finances or electronic surveillance, but some government fuckery greatest hits that actually happened:

- Kidnapping hobos and force feeding them LSD

- Intentionally infecting people (mostly black) with syphilis

- Feeding irradiated oatmeal to mentally handicapped children

- Obama personally ordering the execution of an American citizen without trial and having the military carry it out (and killing the target's 16-year old American citizen son as well)

They don't have authority to 'censor' anything, so what they choose to include is their choice as curators.

> This really is the recipe for success. The majority of success is intergenerational.

I think it's better said that the majority of success is from _iteration_.

In lots of ways, I'm not just a product of my parents' (lack of?) success or their parents' (lack of?) success and so on, but also a product of my iterated local communities and iterated larger society.

> The stories we should aspire to are the ones of humans setting up future humans for success. Ideally, not even just their children...

Be wary of claimed benevolence, for it justifies corpses in the name of the greater good.

History has shown that rising tides lift all boats. We are all the product of millennia of selfish pursuits by bigots, rapists, war profiteers, etc. And yet, the long-term trajectory for the masses is up -- because success iterates not just along family lines, but broadly across society.
Imagine being paid in a ‘programmable’ currency that your employer (or government) decides cannot be spent on alcohol, meat, or fossil fuels.

I want to point out - if you get to the seventh page of Google, it's been known for some time that those results are... specious at best. Check out this xkcd from almost a decade ago:

I go to work to exchange labor for money to support my addiction to food and shelter. If having a job on my resume will help me increase the amount of money I can trade for my labor in the future, I consider that high status.
What benefit would targeting low wealth individuals have to the IRS? I worked on a state tax system briefly at Accenture and they offered the product for a percentage of reclaimed taxes. They started with high debts with good credit scores. Since they had skin in the game (which it could be argued the IRS doesn’t), they wanted to maximize the unpaid taxes they collected.
well yes but the addressing scheme we use here is so much simpler. I hope they incorporate it at some point
>People often ask me what’s the best language to learn to study software design. I ask them what’s the best instrument to learn to study music theory.

Is the goal to learn music theory, or is it to learn to play an instrument? If I want to become a concert pianist, knowing music theory will help, but the only way to get good is to practice.

The problem with computer science education is it's a bunch of music theorists teaching others how to play the piano. Doing projects is the only way to practice programming. You're not going to learn how to program from these people because most of them have no significant experience building real software.

Hell yeah, the government should have a say in how publicly funded schools run their admissions. Why should a school running on public funds get to favour students differently based on who they are related to? Do they have a greater right to that public money?

Poverty line for a single person in San Fran is $80k/year.

In pretty much any flyover state 80k a year is decent, and somewhere like Rural Kentucky, will put you into a fairly nice house. I know folks who took a big pay cut to work remotely so they could leave NoVA and head to KY. They could get a sizable house for ~$290k (and they're from KY / have fam around, a big selling point) and basically as much land as they're comfortable with.

And to the parent poster's point, kids definitely change the equation. Not even talking things like private schools or fancy sports, just simple stuff like diapers, or replacing a torn backpack cuz Jr. decided he likes swinging it around as he walks home. And braces, jeez.
I was once asked by Target for my SSN because I was returning a product. That was in the early 2000s
That's a good point, though image viewers could add that information to a "more info" dialogue.
But everyone that plays those games is voluntarily doing so. Every single person can do the same research you and I have about the psycologocial impacts of their design. Not a single person other than me is harmed by my decision to gamble.
I agree with this. I was a bit blunt. Each situation is different. Superficial learning might be all you need depending on the circumstances.

I still think it’s better to learn without too much tooling of any kind, but that’s a topic for another day.
It certainly doesn't imply that, strongly or other. It's referencing a specific trend, but not negating other possibilities at all. Context is important.
Counter-anecdote: my grandfather retired "early" (in today's view) at 55 and dementia wasn't a major problem until his 80s. He had several great decades of retirement. (Partly because he had several pensions and good social security.)

If anything, "standard retirement" of people only allowed to retire at 65 or 70 seems to intentionally pushing up against the limits of human stamina and decline hitting hard soon after retirement almost an intentional "feature" of the current standard because society can spend less on pensions and social security if we just require everyone to work until they break.

Anecdotally feels to me like more evidence we should roll back the decadal encroach of retirement age into way too late in life to enjoy it and return to better pensions and social services.
I don't think I'm exaggerating - I wasted hours today on their terrible workflow and UI. All of that can be simplified and automated by Google via their frontend instead of a workflow that expects users to visit multiple pages.

I have a quota of 1 GPU in one zone and zero allocated GPUs. I keep seeing only "exceeded quota by 1 GPU" error on their UI when trying to create a VM for that single GPU in the correct zone.

Thank you for the replies. Looks like most users are fine with all this. I'll probably explore non-GCP alternatives.
Quants at prop trading or buy-side HFT (not banks).

There’s a lot of substance in those jobs (denominator), but the status is insanely high (numerator).

Smart. Quants are generally “smart” with diverse software, hardware, and math knowledge.

Scarcity. In the United States, the entire industry might hire 1,000 to 2,000 new grad quants per year.

And most importantly, a realistic path to $1M+ TC by 5 YOE, and $10M+ TC is not uncommon for 15-20 YOE.
Well, I said that history consists of accounts (stories).

I agree that what I (and most historians) call "historiography" could be called "meta-history". But that activity already has a name; we don't need to construct a new term (with a Greek prefix and a Latin suffix) to stand-in for a word that already works fine.

Historiography isn't some handwavey version of the past; it's the study of how historians do their work. That's the word historians use. Honestly, I think your history teacher got the wrong end of the stick.

Like, Humpty Dumpty had a point: you can use words to mean whatever you want. But it's not helpful for intelligent discourse to redefine commonly-understood terms.

>> Could I cool down the Earth by capturing a comet and dropping it in the ocean, like an ice cube in a glass of water?

> No. In fact, it's honestly sort of impressive to find a solution that would actively make the problem worse in so many different ways.

The short answer is, the falling ice adds about 100x as much heat from the difference in potential energy than it cools.
It’s not that hard to pivot ecosystems. Unless you have extremely high-end devices and an extremely low end car, you can almost always move from Apple to another ecosystem for a lot less than changing cars (assuming you’re buying new devices and a new car OR used devices and a used car). You can even make the move gradually over months or years.

Very nice way of putting it.

Edit: I don't disagree about cars, I just think there's some car tech that's extremely useful, like, my kid's new car has cruise control that just keeps him a safe distance behind the car ahead, rather than just dumbly keeping the car at a set speed. I am totally willing to pay for that in my next car.

There is nothing VCs have brought to the internet that is of any value. Whatever is good here was already here before them. I know this because I was here before them too.

What is generally referred to here is any business system that has (my number) at least a man-year of work invested, and will probably take three man months at minimum to rewrite.

These systems are everywhere. A midsize company can have hundreds. They can be excel spreadsheets and access databases.

System rewrites, despite theoretically having more stable requirements, are probably even worse than the usual software project failure rate, because they will be underinvested, the new/additional requirements will be 2x the effort per the usual

Anyone wishing to control a network of computers must choose either the tube or the box. That is, either you break the tubes and intercept traffic between opaque boxes, or you break into the boxes and leave the tubes opaque. If you assume opaque boxes then by arguing for opaque tubes Meredith Whittaker is arguing for full abdication of control of the network. Politicians don't like that. Some don't like it because in good faith they see their role as that of a protector, a threat detector. Some don't like it because in bad faith they know this is giving up a significant chunk of power. (And in reality every political leader falls on a spectrum between these two).

In practice, I think we'll waver between losing control of the box and gaining it back, as it sinks in that, truly, no backdoor can be reserved for some and not for others. I think the only viable solution is to break the tube: make it illegal to send encrypted messages over the wire. Period. Then we could keep the box inviolable, opaque, and secure. But it can no longer communicate secretly to others. In practice this will mean more "sneaker net" movement of illicit and/or secret data, and probably leaps and bounds in steganography. It would also end the internet as we know it, especially any and all e-commerce. But hey, that's a small price to pay for eliminating CSAM, right?

No, it wouldn't.

Also I doubt they would care about the legality in the slightest. It's not like they would send a press release about it.

It would be an one-time, in-person, strictly private meeting between the respective publishers and executive management. Like the one where they're shown a new console and talk about renewed licensing terms for the platform.

So instead of making good games that attract more people they choose to make grindy, annoying games that force players to spend more time in them and likely spend money to reduce those annoyances. Almost like... paying to play less. Counterintuitive to focus on that metric in that case, no?

True fact: there's a subset of real cryptanalysis attacks --- the CBC padding oracle, Bleichenbacher's RSA padding oracle, the ECB byte-at-a-time attack --- that (I think?) Juliano Rizzo coined the term "Hollywood Attack" for, because when you run the exploits for them, they look like decryption in Sneakers.

It's a good term, everybody should use it, it's even a little useful for getting the intuition behind the attack (a lot of cryptanalytic attacks work by finding creative ways to isolate a single byte of ciphertext instead of having to work against the entire 128 or 2048 bit message).

These government agents are people as well, and as people they'll suffer to wade through the dark corners of the web to locate a minuscule part of all the CP data available worldwide. These people will inevitably require mental care to deal with the trauma of looking at GiBs and GiBs of small kids being raped, that's not a cost we can handwave to "we employ government agents", there's not a limitless supply of people willing to do this job, and doing this job doesn't come for free, not for the individuals doing it neither for society (mental trauma care; staffing high enough to allow rotations and avoid burn out, or PTSD, etc.).

That's a hypothesis. It is known that (supposedly) that strain can cause cytokine storm more than other flus do. I would not assume that means cytokine storm was the primary cause of death or even the primary cause of death in young adults. Based on my experience my guess is that the pneumonia was a much bigger cause of death than the storm
The interesting thing is that the government can have access to your conversations today. They just need to get judge order and search your phone (end-to-end encryption doesn't help if you don't delete messages). Same things as knocking on the door with a judge order. But the government doesn't want to deal with judges. They want unlimited access 24/7. That's the key difference and this is why this is bad for all the citizens.
