Sometimes it's clear that one or both parties were willfully deceiving themselves and/or the other party. Sometimes it's that they were unconsciously deceiving themselves or the other party.

I know some folks who are getting divorced because 2 years into the relationship, one of them realized they were trans.

Someone else, it was 18 years in and after having (and raising) a kid together.

I used to work with someone that realized they were a lesbian after being married 25 years and raising a child together with their (male) spouse.

For the other party, it can be a bit difficult to not see that as some kind of deception. It certainly changes 'the deal' pretty dramatically.

Knowing a bit about what was going on, I was also seeing signs of emotional abuse in one or both parties that was concerning, and may have played a part. It's not normal for someone to have PTSD type reactions to basic office human interaction, for instance. They insisted things were fine though.

Other times it's patterns of infidelity that come out much later, or actions that start once the 'ink is dry' that are deeply manipulative and destructive. Like 'oh honey, that's great that we're married now. Oh, I forgot to tell you about that $70k in credit card debt I just ran up.'.

Other times, it's things like 'marrying for love', then leaving once the green card arrives, or have their degree paid off, etc.

Or they're building multiple lives without anyone knowing - until someone finds out.

Or they get deeply controlling and abusive once they feel they get enough leverage.

Or they start screaming at their partner and stabbing the counter with a butcher knife because the other partner asked them if they were ok one too many times....

Or any number of things.

People are... messy.

If for some reason you have a reason to spend time in family court (if so, I'm deeply sorry), watch the other cases. It can be very informative. The reality is VERY different from how it is usually portrayed. Especially if you have EQ and can read between the lines a bit.

My recent 'favorite' being the Mom who had a valid restraining order against her (due to prior incidents) who decided to violate it to the point she physically stepped on and hurt the fathers mom in front of their daughter and disrupted their daughters school event to the point she had to be physically escorted out by security. She got scolded by the judge for violating said order - and receiving no other penalty.

Despite admitting to it in open court, TO THE JUDGE, and actually adding details that made it clear it was even worse. After the father hesitatingly brought it up.

Eye opening is one way of putting it.

Not sure you can call an explanation logical if you haven't done quick math on how many billions were already sunk on Twitter (50+ at the lowest and 200+ if you consider opportunity costs) only for it to keep failing, and the unspoken incalculable hundreds of billions of damage to Saudis themselves as investors and Musk as CEO and co-owner of his companies.

To give context to people who may have not heard; there has been a MASSIVE amount of high profile data breaches in the Australia in the past 12 months with zero consequences for the businesses involved.

In a 6 month period I had;
- My private health insurance data leaked (AHM/Medibank) - including claim history, medicare number, password, username, email, phone
- My old phone account (Optus) - including my phone number, my current passport number(!!!), current address, phone.
- My old credit card account (Latitude finance) - including my current passport, driver license, my income history and bank statements that was provided to get the credit card originally, address, phone, email

The ONLY thing that any of these businesses have done is pay for a replacement passport and a 12 month credit watch. Optus wasn't even a 'breech', they had an API exposed with the all the data!

How is someone meant to protect themselves from this? It is pure negligence. Until governments legislate that the punishment for exposing personal data is more expensive than the work and infrastructure required to keep it secure this will continue to happen.
This has to be the most moronic part of Elon's plan.

Firing everyone to improve operating margins, I understand that.

Iterating on features rapidly, even if they're not quite ready for prime time? That makes a lot of sense if you're trying to beat out the competition.

Rebranding your website and conference rooms? This sounds like a stupid waste of time and effort. If you wanted to create X the next twitter, just do a start up. Everyone would have signed up just because Elon Musk was using it. You didn't need to buy twitter for that.

Just stupid.
I've gone through sex ed in third grade. All I learnt was what the name of the body parts are, that I shouldn't let other people touch them in inappropriate ways, and that boys and girls have different things going on there. I don't see why it isn't appropriate and why a 9 year old shouldn't know this.

I'd love to see someone explain the WeChat mystique for people who aren't in its target ecosystem.

It seems like, if you're making something flexible enough to handle payments, various social and interactive services, and yet somehow fall short of being a full web browser, haven't you just reinvented Prodigy for the 2020s?

I assume at this point it largely runs on momentum in a Facebookesque way-- it no longer has to be particularly food at any given service because the sheer mass of its userbase will make it a major player in every market it goes near.

But that doesn't explain initial success. Was it catapulted by a specific environmental condition (i. e. they got zero-rated at a point where mobile data was too expensive to just choose random websites to browse?) or a dramatically better ergonomic experience?

The feature I’ve found lacking is the ability to copy and paste all the comments on a story into my personal knowledge system and retain the threading and formatting. (I do this every once in a while for threads that have many high quality comments or links that I’d like to save.) I’ve never figured out a way to maintain the threading/indenting.
> The essence of freedom of speech has always been the ability of the common or marginalized folk to discuss and criticize those with power and privilege - the state, the landed, the majority. Attacking marginalized minorities is not the purpose of it and is a categorically different type of action - the marginalized don't have power over others to begin with.

If you make this the principle according to which you allow or censor speech, the predictable outcome is that would-be speakers will seek to establish that they are common and marginalized (or speaking for those who are) and their opponents have power and privilege (or work on behalf of those who are), as in a classical bravery debate (https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/05/18/against-bravery-debate...). In general, the powerful and privileged tend to be the ones who win these contests.
Signal would be a lot more pragmatic if they would develop a funding model based on selling something for actual money, rather then subsisting off donations.

Sell "Signal for Business" accounts or something so I can stop having my bank or local government depend on SMS to communicate with me. I know a number of doctors who'd really love to be able to use Signal to talk to their patients (and would tell them to install it) if it was possible to sanely integrate with it from their practice management software.

As it is, Signal lives in the same space that every other "free" internet service does - if you're not the customer, you're the product. And we get to just wait till that bill comes due.

I think that with the rise of push notifications, no one really goes to a site to check notifications anymore. So the new user may have not developed the muscle memory to go back to SO and participate. I suspect this also has something to do with the decline of forums. Reddit still works because the app sends 200 notifications a day, but without it, I don’t think it would be as popular.

Also SO is participation hostile unless you’re a pro, so as a newbie I’m not going to do anything other than ask and lurk, because I’m not worthy
A lot of thoughts in this thread on what academic papers are or should be, let me give my own opinion as a person who tries to write papers.

Papers should be structured like fractals - that is, they should be "self-similar". The main text of the paper after the introduction should go into all the necessary details demonstrating the origins of the idea and proving that it has value. Then the introduction section should summarize all this, and take a less rigorous tone. The abstract should be a summary of the introduction. And then the title should summarize the abstract. If you really have a lot of technical work to do, maybe you can write a super long appendix and have the main body summarize that.

I myself probably spend as much time reading paper introductions as I do reading paper bodies, which means that probably 90% of the papers I read, I only read the introduction. I do this because I enjoy it more - I like new ideas, and the intros are a great way to get a lot of them. This blog post reads like a great paper introduction to me. It's easy to trick yourself into believing something is easy though, so an academic paper would have to back this up with an experiment.
Currently you can do $14 for a month of access at a time. Does that scratch this itch? Or is there something about having access for even smaller windows of time that appeals to you?

The read-only idea outside of those windows is an interesting idea. I don't have a mechanism for that at the moment, but I'll consider it if some other folks express interest in this kind of plan.

I can explain to a 35 years old in tech.

A modern generalist CPU is made of many smaller, simpler, specialized CPUs : there's a whole orchestra inside.

Amongst those smaller CPUs, there's a master : it'll see to decoding of instruction, sending jobs to the various CPU units, and fetching the results of said jobs. That master is running a program, executing ... microcode ! And of course, if there is a program, there are bugs. CPUs have bugs since CPUs were invented.

Microcode itself was present in early CPUs, (say, the Z80), but hardcoded. Nowadays, microcode can be uploaded to a CPU to fix bugs.
Or, you know, you could write good'ol for loop and use multiple statements, instead of having a gigantic expression
Eh, I've never much cared for that quote or the common interpretation of it. People take it as though the problem is the surveillance. But it's the last part which tells you what's up: "I'll find a way to hang him".

The speaker is telling you what they're going to do - everything else is a formality. Your problem began well before they had a sentence, and wouldn't end if they didn't have one.
Is it P2P connection or something? You could easily order events using kafka, redis or any alternative in cloud if they are less than million per second range.
It would be great if you have something like this for mobile apps. How will it work if your product has both web and mobile apps, do you have a create a separate backend for the mobile apps?
Actually, I believe you have this backwards. In the time when the Constitution was written, conversations were private (concealed) by default. In order to listen to a conversation, you had to physically listen to the conversation. It is only in the last couple decades that mass access to this sort of conversation is even possible, so encryption seems to be restoring the same implicit right which always existed.

Said another way, if you want to analogize e2e encryption to a bazooka, then the government being able to read all of your private communications seems to be the equivalent of having someone constantly violating the fourth (remember that one?) amendment in your house, 24/7.
Completely new to Clojurescript or electric DSL so this might be a stupid question (will learn more later).It would be great if you have something like this for mobile apps. How will it work if your product has both web and mobile apps, do you have a create a separate backend for the mobile apps?
They might appose it, but if it ships in Chrome and starts being actively used they will also implement it, just like CDM.

At the end of the day, users will just see that a website works in Chrome and not in Firefox. Firefox will decide that there is no point in apposing it if there is a real cost in potential market-share.
>Would you really want to visit a notary just to set up an eBay account?

Yes.
Worse, they store your phone number (along with your name, your photo, and most damning of all, a list of all of your signal contacts) permanently in the cloud. This is exactly the information they used to brag about not being able to turn over to the authorities because they didn't collect it in the first place. Their website still has pages that brag about that with no indication that it's no longer the truth.

I've seen way too many signal users who had no idea this data collection was even happening which is a good sign that Signal isn't very trustworthy. If you're going to promote yourself to whistleblowers and activists, they need to know what data you're collecting and what their risks are, but ever since Signal started collecting all this data they've refused to update their privacy policy which even now starts with "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." which is an outright lie. I'm pretty sure at this point it's a dead canary warning people not to trust the service. They've been very unclear in their communications about the data collection too.

They've removed features people loved (the ability to get secure communications and unsecured SMS/MMS in a single app) and they've pushed weird crypto features nobody asked for, which might be another sign they're trying to encourage users to leave the platform, but I sure see them come up a lot in the news. Signal seems to get a lot of promotion. At this point though, people looking for secure communication might want to look for something else.

Given a softmax version doing exactly as the blog post says is baked into a google library (see this thread), and you can set it as a parameter in a pytorch model (see this thread), this claim seems off. "Let's try X, oh, X doesn't do much, let's not write a paper about it" is extremely common for many X.
> It makes it very difficult to actually understand what's going on vs. the writer's agenda.

Speaking broadly, you can't have democracy without a balance of powers between the government and the judicial system. Therefore any emerging dictatorship must first limit the powers of the judicial system and/or undermine its independence by appointing their own corrupt puppets in place. When a clash happens between any government and its nation's courts, you can bet all horses that they're after taking absolute power.

Putin did it, Erdogan did it, Lukashenko did it, Orban did it, and at least in the EU other countries are working on it (Italy, Poland).

You become strong at doing what you train at. If its traditional strength training, then lifting weights is going to make you stronger in lifting and carrying things.

You are only going to gain so much strength when lifting or moving parts of your body, until you will need to focus on lifting heavier weights. There's nothing wrong with that at all as it's not everyone's aim to have huge muscles.

At the end of the day in Yoga you are still lifting or holding something, it's just your own weight.
And my opinion as someone with high reputation is that letting in silly questions has ruined the site and made me stop using it. SO is not a support forum, it's not your teacher, it's a place for interesting knowledge sharing and if the knowledge is drowned in noise, well it's just noise then.

The bar to stealing it is way different now though.

You would have to steal a username + phone + PIN code for phone + PIN code for MitID app.

If that happens, then it would also be trivial to unlink the app from that phone.

At no point in time would you be unaware of the theft here.

Contrast this to what happens in the US often: your personal info is leaked from the plethora of places it’s kept. Someone can now in perpetuity exploit your identity, or at the very least for a long time until you find out randomly.

More metabolic stress and lower calcification rates but to my knowledge there isn't research to support projected ocean pH making reefs nonviable globally. The photic zone in which reefs grow will still be a good ways off from the CaCO3 saturation depth, although some deepwater mesophotic reefs and regions, less so. Heatwaves will remain the dominant threat for a while yet.
