> At that time, Fuchsia was never originally about building a new kernel. It was actually about an observation I made: that the Android team had their own Linux kernel team, and the Chrome OS team had their own Linux kernel team, and there was a desktop version of Linux at Google [Goobuntu and later gLinux], and there was a Linux kernel team in the data centers. They were all separate, and that seems crazy and inefficient.

Wow, the FTC is really turning up the heat on Amazon! It's like a high-stakes poker game, and the FTC is going all in with this antitrust lawsuit. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with all the different aspects of Amazon's business in the crosshairs. From Amazon Prime to their logistics and advertising services, it seems like no stone is being left unturned. And with Lina Khan at the helm, who's been pretty vocal about her views on Amazon, things are bound to get interesting. Grab your popcorn...

I want to go back to that era.. imagine not having to think as much. Imagine being more.. free.
The main worry is whether we're dealing with wholly rational actors. People convince themselves they're seeing an effect, and then seemingly completely erratic things to try and prove it on the conviction that with just a bit more effort they'll get it for real.

Like you'd question why someone would photoshop results[1] in a paper, because surely they'd have to realize they're fabricating data, but they go ahead and do it anyway.

The videos are convincing but are they of what they really purport to show? I agree - what would be the point of fabricating it. But weirder things have happened in the breadth of human experience.

Google's proposed 'Web Integrity API' raises some intriguing questions about the future of web security and user privacy. While the intent to secure the web environment and ensure user authenticity is commendable, the approach seems to echo DRM mechanisms, which have often been contentious. The proposal also brings to light the ongoing debate about device control - should users be penalized for wanting full control over their devices? This 'gatekeeping' approach could potentially stifle the open nature of the web and limit user freedom. As we move forward, it's crucial to strike a balance between security and user autonomy.

To OP: What is your experience (YOE) and specialty (web, AI, data science, ops/sre, backend, etc)? I think that makes a huge difference.

From my observation, there is plenty of demand in AI/ML and Data Science. But fields like web-dev and QA are down significantly. We are hiring a few Data Science engineers right now at work and they are going for top dollar right now and we can't find enough to interview. We have 1 ML position available and can't get any serious applicants.

We are also hiring QA engineers which are a dime a dozen and its really competitive, we have our pick and salaries are a tad lower than they were last year (which means they are way down if you account for inflation). We haven't hired back any frontend or backend devs since layoffs last year. Our DevOps/SRE are hiring and getting about average feedback on the market, similar to last year.

My personal experience (i am an SRE manager) and I have been getting several recruiting offers that I have turned down but might start to flirt with soon. The number of overall incoming demand for me has been down from last year, but there is still a steady supply of it. I haven't taken interviews though so I can't speak to the interview process.

What does this mean? You want the FTC to be more toothless? Because that's what removing it from the executive and placing it under the legislature does: it turns it into a fact-finding outfit with zero enforcement powers.

Depending on how young you mean by "young", young children don't have the cognitive capacity to fake emotional states, although many adults attribute that capacity to them. They don't even start understanding that it's a thing that is possible to do until five or six, much less understand their own performance of emotion sufficiently to convincingly portray a given emotion they decided they want someone else to believe that they feel. The first type of emotional deception children learn is suppressing their real feelings, rather than displaying sham feelings.

Instead, children are taught to perform emotion in ways that are legible and acceptable to adults by having their genuine emotional expressions misconstrued as manipulative.
A federated protocol on its own is not stable. As a matter of hardening these protocols against EEE attacks, federated protocol designs probably need to bake in a mechanism which provides incentives for people to run their own servers. I'm not sure exactly how you'd do this in a way which avoids Sybil attacks and doesn't require cooking the planet. Ideally you'd want something like granting network privileges to a server proportional to the log of its user base?

Invariably they then say "you sound like a nice person, let's chat". Classic scam setup.
Any major issues?

Ah, I see the confusion: this book isn't about changing our emotions. It is about learning from them.

There are aspects of CBT that are essentially gaslighting ourselves, ignoring the information we could get from our emotional responses in favor of becoming more socially acceptable. It is part of why it is contraindicated in cases of cPTSD.

This book is about a very different goal. It is about what can be learned from our built-in sensors, rather than how we silence their alerts.

Clickbait. And related https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36855516
Good joke :-)

This is already very tangential, but just for the benefit of anyone who may miss the humour and take the above comment seriously:

- re “couldn't afford professional typesetting”: Knuth was happy when Addison–Wesley approached him, specifically because he liked the high-quality typesetting of their books (like Thomas' Calculus) that he had used as a student. He was happy with the typesetting of the first editions of Vol 1 and 2, and only for the second edition, when the publishers moved from hot-metal typesetting to phototypesetting (that is, when the quality of the best achievable professional typesetting deteriorated), and he learned of the existence of digital typesetters, that he was motivated to come up with his own solution.

- re “couldn't be bothered to learn assembly language” — Knuth was approached by the publisher in the first place, because even as a student he had become a legendary compiler-writer (http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/B5000-AlgolRWaychoff.html#7) in multiple machine/assembly languages. In fact, the fictional “MIX” that he created was literally a “mix” of various then-existent machine languages (https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/18117), some binary, some decimal (https://catonmat.net/donald-knuths-first-computer / https://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/KnuthIBM650Appreciation.pdf), and MIX was introduced in the book with:

> If an executive agency can have legislative powers, then a legislative agency can also have executive powers

Sure. This isn't a hot take. The legislature can order the executive to take specific actions. It does so all the time. The reason every society in history separates or delineates its executive functions is because many tasks of government require faster action than a deliberative body can continuously commit to.

Congress (big and slow) granting agencies (small and faster) limited rule-making powers increases the agencies' power. The executive granting the Congress limited executive powers (e.g. prosecuting contempt of Congress) doesn't confer an equal power transfer. The executive branch of any system is built to amplify and focus power; the legislature, to distribute it. That executive power, if vested in the Congress, would dissolve across the body.

An FTC under the Congress would have the same authority as any Congressional subcommittee: infinite in theory, but relatively toothless in practice.
In theory, at least, TROs are minimum-harm practice. If two people can't get along, separate them.

What I'd suggest as a balancing mechanism to avoid the abuses which, yes, do in fact happen by that means, is to make the orders mutual. That is, neither party may come in contact with, approach, or communicate with the other, and both are subject to further legal restrictions for violating those terms.

We have absolutely no idea what comments she was censured for, they aren't saying. They certainly didn't claim she was censured for factual discussion about opioid crisis, as you've implied (and the reporter, without evidence, also implied).

UTMB is a prestigious institution. Issuing a statement of censure is a pretty big deal.

Occam's razor would suggest that it wasn't done arbitrarily.

Objectively looking at the known facts without a political bias, it seems to me that the most likely scenario is that she made some inappropriate comments, got censured, but no one wants to embarrass her further or risk liability by repeating hearsay.

People make mistakes.

We don't have any facts that would support the narrative that the government encouraged the censure or the investigation in any way.

I'm not sure why there's so much passion around insisting that particular narrative when there are limited known facts.

Of course I'd change my opinion if more information comes to light.

Would you?

> “Nonsense. If there had been a twenty-dollar lying on the street, someone would have already picked it up by now.”

I don't remember too much from my finance courses in business school but one comment from the professor always stayed with me. He said that if there was any succesful pattern to trading, there are firms on wall street which can afford many orders of magnitude more brain power and compute power than you, so they will zero in on it pretty quick if it works. As soon as they do, it doesn't work anymore. Proof: Otherwise they would all be making infinite profit.

Makes sense. This means any trading algorithm that can be programmed is pretty much obsolete (if it ever was any good) by the time it's working.
Humans are really good at getting used to things. There's a chance that even with a life that's worse on paper compared to modern life you end up happier.

Maybe people were permanently drunk because the daily reality was hard, booze made it more bearable. As a parent, I think of those parents with 7 kids, 4 of which would before reaching adulthood. Add terrible working condition, medicine being of much help, basic necessities like food, clothing eating most of your revenue, not much free time, etc. I would want to be tipsy often.

I would not like going to such an era. Also, beer is kinda pasteurized, safe water to drink.
Amazon is the easiest one for me, and I suspect many others, to cut out.

Walmart’s website has identical functionality for selling retail goods, including third party sellers. Target is not far behind. Newegg is all third party goods as far as I understand.

Then there is Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowes, Staples, Kroger, Albertsons, Dollar Tree, and myriad other retailers.

Amazon Music is easily replaced by Apple/YouTube/Spotify.

Amazon Video is easily replaced by myriad other streaming services.

Contrast with my choice of smartphone operating system - Google or Apple.

Or choice of operating system in corporate environments with legacy software - Microsoft. Ditto for spreadsheet software.

Even in cloud, AWS is up against Google and Microsoft.

Where is this idea of Amazon being a monopoly coming from? They even earn pitiful profit margins compared to the other tech companies.

"The amount of alcohol consumed by drinking historical beer brews is between 0.62 to 0.107, the % of alcohol in “small beer” is taken to be around 0.05 and the % in “strong beer” is taken to be around 0.135"

Although it doesn't specify weight or volume, but the 5% alcohol beer seems to be equivalent of the "small beer".

There are also the "pure alcohol" charts in the table that I think try and account for it.

Also there's the comment about beer for sailors in the 10-15% range.
There's a passage in Benjamin Franklin's autobiography when he is working in a printing factory in England, and he astounds the other workers by his productivity. He credits it to not being drunk all the time, and eventually managers to convince the other workers to try it too. That was 1740s I believe.
