Bro, satvik. I'm happy to hear your responses and learn from you but you're literally just attacking me at this point. It's absolutely hilarious. You think you're going to take me down or something weird. I'm trying so hard to take this seriously because you think you're going to post a tweet and get me nuked from society.

I'm looking at your previous posts and trying to find things that aren't "zero to hero" type javascript messages.

There's a gem 4 months ago that is "Why would you be hiring? Writing a backend is really not that hard if you already know the front end.." " and anyway it's good to be able able to do both sides" ..

Are you trying to learn, prove yourself, or what? What's the end goal here? Most of us write code to pay rent and buy cars. What are you trying to do?
There is likely engagement statistics available from other countries on how much engagement was/wasn't lost, and how it changed in other contries where this was started.

With the erosion of local and hyper-local news in Canada and North America - the media that was largely being cut out is the national chains who are shutting down many of the local papers and leaving broader, more generalized coverage that is not regionally accurate in some cases.

Hyper local media wouldn't have the $ to lobby like this. It's not entirely unclear how much they were consulted in a meaningful way.

For example hearing something about the real estate industry in "Canada" often means Toronto, or Vancouver only, when there are plenty of interesting things happening in other areas contrary to this reporting, much like the US.

Edit; Typos
OP does not understand risk management or product delivery and is therefore labelling it as "bullshit".

And yet, OP should feel blessed. Not because of the bullshit work, but because they are one of a lucky few who have managed to land a career doing what they love. Speak to any other person that managed to do that, and they all know what OP is describing.

My only advice for OP is - work on understanding the purpose, history and alternatives of the "bullshit", then move on to work at small (5-7) independent teams where you can control the "bullshit". If you do it well, you will find your gang and it will be liberating. Read about Kelly Johnson and his teams work on the U-2 and SR71, you will love it.
I own a car and I need one where I live. But I question that owning a car can cost much less than $4800 a year given insurance, maintenance, gas, fees, and other costs. As a purely financial decision, I'd trade for a driver if that were my real cost.
FYI there is a at least one science journal that only publishes reproduced research:

Organic Syntheses
"A unique feature of the review process is that all of the data and experiments reported in an article must be successfully repeated in the laboratory of a member of the editorial board as a check for reproducibility prior to publication"

Something in switzerland called the Large Hadron Collider comes to mind.

I guess we should not talk about the Higgs before someone else builds a second one and replicates the papers.

> I dont think ADHD medication should be OTC. An experienced psychiatrist should always prescribe it.

OTC or not, the controlled substance laws and schedules (yes, in the US) have resulted in the demand exceeding the supply. People who need them cannot get them because they're just not available. Pharmacists can't even tell you what they do or don't have.
Getting paid well enough to afford a satisfying lifestyle is pretty meaningful, IMO. Is that not enough?
Main thing I'm missing so far is you can't ready an action, which makes it nearly impossible to play defensively.

If your turn doesn't give you enough movement to run up to the enemies and stab them, you can't say "I run next to the doorway and wait to stab the first person who runs through it."

Instead, you have to waste your turn and then stand around getting attacked. So it's often to your advantage to roll worse in the initiative order, because the enemies will spend their turn dashing to within your movement range and then you actually get to hit them on your turn. Kind of hate it, rolling high initiative is supposed to let you get the drop on people or set up the battlefield more to your liking.

BG3 players, please let me know if I'm missing something here.
Wait what? In what way is M1 better than M2?

I think you misunderstand the point of scientific publication here (at least in theory, perhaps less so in practice). The purpose of a paper is typically to say "I have achieved these results in this environment (as far as I can tell)", and encourages reproduction. But the original result is useful in its own right - it tells us that there may be something worth exploring. Yes, it may just be a measurement error (I remember the magic faster than light neutrinos), but if it is exciting enough, and lots of eyes end up looking, then flaws are typically found fairly quickly.

And yes, there are often overly excited press releases that accompany it - the "advertise it and encourage others to us it as a dependency" part of it analogy - but this is typically just noise in the context of scientific research. If that is your main problem with scientific publishing, you may want to be more critical of science journalism instead.

Fwiw, yes of course I've written code that only runs on my machine. I imagine everyone has, typically accidentally. You do it, you realise your mistake, you learn something from it. Which is exactly what we expect from scientific papers that can't be reproduced.
"Once the foundation is in the ground" is of course the big thing, as each foundation is unique (even if they all look the same they are specced to exactly the water depth and local spil conditions), and a lot of the installation risks are in the foundation. Rock may be harder than expected, or there might be a boulder hiding in the sandy soil. After the foundations are in, the installation of the tower, nacelle and blades is repetitive work. There should be little variance between sites left then. Weather is probably the most significant differtiating factor left.
Maybe the media lobbyists think people will flock to their news websites instead complete with paywalls.

And Social thinks they will keep traffic, or the media sites will die.
That would explain the absurdly low cost for a crown. I just wish I could pay $500 for a decent crown but they're more like $1500 to $2,000
I'm not Canadian (nor American), but I used a few back in the day when I had Facebook. It was actually not that bad when people used those groups for local politics only. When it becomes too partisan then it's unbearable, but moderators can squash that.
Fastest way to get information regarding street closures, city events, infrastructure upgrades and etc. At least in my city 80% of the people in the group sound reasonable, so it’s fun Saturday morning reads.

Most of the toxicity comes from larger political groups, and yeah, agreed they are absolutely trash.

Is LLM the new web3, where people just keep throwing it as a solution for every problem they encounter? Seems like it... Maybe soon they will throw LK-99 at every problem?
It's been interesting seeing the reactions from my friends. It's a split down the middle between f the government and f the Americans. Seem like people are increasingly unable to be sensible re conversations like this these days, crazy how polarized things have become.

These street interviews the cbc conducted gave me some hope however: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WltKtLi65fE
If they do make a deal, it should be pretty cheap now. The news sites will see their traffic drop off a cliff and probably feel pretty ready to start negotiating.
The issue that I see is: even if halving productivity is acceptable to the field as a whole; how do you incentivize a given scientist to put in the effort?

This seems particularly problematic because it is already notoriously hard to get tenure and academia is already notoriously unrewarding to researchers who don't have tenure.

>It is your responsibility and you owe it to your peers to do your best job of making sure that your reasoning and the perspective which led to that reasoning is fully understood by them.

I understand that perspective, but strongly disagree. While it certainly is appropriate (and often beneficial) to discuss one's perspectives and compare them with that of others. Especially, but not limited to, those who disagree with those perspectives.

This is important (as you point out) to make sure that your own ideas are rooted in fact, and are amenable to rhetorical defense by subjecting them to questioning and reasonable inquiry.

I am most certainly not responsible, to you or anyone else, in arguing for or against anything. Should I choose to do so (and I do, from time to time), I am responsible only to myself for such activities.

To put a fine point on that, while there certainly are circumstances which might argue in favor of addressing a particular issue as part of the social discourse, those circumstances do not imbue some sort of societal responsibility to do so.

Assuming you disagree, what would be your counterargument?
I have reviewed many papers and there is never the time to recreate the work and test. That is why I love the "papers w code" site. I think every published CS paper should require a git repo with all their code and experimental data.
Europe suffered no consequences as a result of disagreeing with the US over the Iraq War. It suffered no consequences as a result of disagreeing with the US (and other European country's) concerns over Russian imperialism. It continues to suffer no consequences as a result of disagreeing with the US over China. Turkey suffers no consequences of its considerable disagreement from US foreign policy, despite reaching the point that it is objecting to new entries to the coalition for essentially spurious reasons.

The US does maintain a hegemony, but NATO isn't a vehicle of political compulsion, especially when you compare to the Warsaw Pact, which very much was. Recall that the Warsaw Pact's sole military operation was to invade a country that wanted out, and the Warsaw Pact itself fell apart pretty much the moment the USSR indicated it wouldn't invade countries that wanted out anymore.
really missed on not using "The Status Quoalition"
I hope Google follows through, too. The government forcing two companies to pay for links to news is pretty disgusting rent seeking by media companies.
That's great to know, thanks, I'll try it out.

At this point my muscle memory is on the Sequel Pro shortcut keys, except I'm finding myself around Postgres more and more.
That's what they say about iMessage, too, but then the devices back up the endpoint keys to Apple in the iCloud Backup (non-e2ee and readable by Apple/FBI).

The AirTag keys are supposedly stored in iCloud Keychain (which unlike nudes sent via iMessage, is actually excluded from the non-e2ee iCloud Backup) but it's been a long time since I have read the security architecture document for how the offline Find My system works.

The issue with "the data is encrypted" is that a) the receiving device isn't yours (it's some random person's iPhone) and if it's totally opaque to Apple, how do they know to provide that encrypted data provided by some random airport iPhone to your specific account so that you can decrypt it?

It seems sort of handwavey to me. I remain unconvinced that Apple is that diligent about maintaining lack of location tracking for iCloud to AirTag mappings given that 99.99%-ish of iCloud users are already providing location to Apple a hundred other times a day (maps, ads, app store, music, books, TV+, etc).
“They also tend to over-estimate the effect of peer review (often equating peer review with validity).“

In my experience, scientists ate comfortably cynical about peer review- even those that serve as reviewers and editors- except maybe junior scientists that haven’t gotten burned yet.
Is that because NOLA police used recognition as part of the investigation toolbox, not as an auto-arrest rubber stamp?
Cargo e-bikes are dangerous for children. Urban infrastructure is not pristine and contains risks even without cars. In Estonia for instance they don't salt the streets in winter. In Paris you have random public works stuff that were forgotten on the road. You can have potholes. Etc etc.

I don't see how a children wouldn't be injured while sitting in the front of a cargo bike, protected only by a thin slice of wood. Please show me a crash test.

Its an old article "This article originally ran in the February 1997 issue of Reader’s Digest."
The whole point of private methods is that they have privileged access to the implementation details of the class (i.e. private member variables and other private methods). So there still needs to be a restricted place they can be defined - what are you proposing?
I don't play Diablo IV (I just don't have the time), so I cannot judge if these scores are warranted. Seeing that it currently sits between Lego Drive 2K and Gollum, I'd go out on a limb here and say that this score seems a tiny bit harsh to me.

Games get review-bombed for the silliest reasons nowadays. Often times, a fundamentalist minority of gamers feels overly protective about "their" franchise, reacting to even the tiniest disturbance with maniacal anger. If a game has a high score from critics and a low score from users, to me that's actually a good sign that the game might even try something interesting (Last of Us II would be an example here). Of course, the critics score for Diablo IV was the post-release score, not including these new patches, so it might very well be that it really is worse now...

Can you do a good job, be creative, within the boundaries of your role?
In a team-based isometric RPG like BG3 you kinda have to be, the characters are dime sized and anything less flashy just wouldn't read. It's like stage acting, you have to overexaggerate so that audience can actually see what's going on from a distance.
Over a 100%, thank you very much
Sorry but no. What you see in corporate environments has nothing to do with risk management or product delivery, it’s often just pure ineptitude and useless people artificially trying to justify their existence.
Realistically, what do you expect the DA to say? As part of the job, admitting fault for anything pre-emptively goes against all the attributes that get you the job in the first place

At least in the North Sea, wind parks have created large area's in which trawlers fishing is prohibited. This is really significant, as I believe the entire Dutch North Sea EEZ is trawled multiple times per year. This is really a massive undertaking, and is even permitted in the Natura2000 area's. Really nothing could stop the fishing lobby from destructing the bottom life on which the industry depends in a giant tragedy of the commons kind of way. Except now for wind farms. Now huge areas are off limits for fishing boats
But don't sign up for any experimental procedures that they want to test on you. Also, be prepared for more pain since they're inexperienced.

>What, then, can Americans do to protect themselves from overtreatment and overcharging? Says the ADA’s Dr. Seldin, “We encourage patients to seek out—certainly if there’s a lot of work to be done—second or third opinions so they can have comfort with the practitioner’s recommendations.”

Actually, the article already identified the prime protection mechanism -- insurance. The data in the article is nearly meaningless, because in each case it was presented as "I will get reimbursed for whatever you charge me".

Having said that, you also need to get quality insurance, not the kind that limits you to the local "Smiles" dental franchise office.
That sounds like what private clinics offer around here, certainly not for free, but they tend to perform an onslaught of tests.

I don't know how effective it is, and how much of it is theater.

That's good to know. Assuming government employees are not meeting with anyone that is using personal or corporate accounts contractors, vendors they should be at less risk of AI blackmailing them or selling secrets to opposing nations. Everyone else will just need to be extra careful what they say in the event that the AI accidentally leaks something.
FWIW I get (and agree with) the philosophical thrust of your argument here, but in reality it doesn’t make any sense.

The world you’re describing is one where government facilities have to all be in profoundly challenging places to operate facilities in, and even once you do that, a Chinese or Russian national is 100% within their rights to pull up a tent right alongside it, put a camera up on a 300 foot tower, and surveil the site 24/7.

Under the Constitution, anyone in the US has the right to do what you’ve described, and so they have the right to do what I’ve described too.
I can tell from this post that you probably have had the chance of never having to work with or emulate broken hardware (which is to say every pieces of hardware ever). At some point you just stop trying to be sane and just go with what works.

As you might read from that page, there are only 3 (4 if you add Hywind Tempen) of those in operation from this last decade, plus some demo projects like China's Haiyou Guanlan. The US just auctioned off 5 leases in 2 Californian Wind Energy Areas (Humboldt and Morro Bay), which are both much deeper than the current operational farms (500-1000m vs 100-300m). Aside from that, there are also other challenges like transmission and port bottlenecks [1] [2].

Because it's a pretty strong form of controlled economy that distorts the market.

How would this work for search engines? Would you force people to use a different search engine than the one they want? (e.g. they type Google.com and end up redirected to Bing.com) ; or somehow just funnel revenue to other companies... then who gets to decide which companies this gets funneled to?

Anti-trust is about preventing anti-competitive tactics, but the scheme you is ironically anti-competitive: it artificially inflates usage of other services even if they don't provide an equal/superior service, with consumers paying the price.

I agree public sentiment does not seem to align with the change. And I believe a lot of sentiment was influenced by social media personalities, leaders of the post CentOS upstream projects. Even our competitors like Oracle and SUSE jumped in.

Almost all my accounts have some CentOS or other RHEL clones. We’re not suing those customers because they chose another Linux for a part of their footprint. We’re also not suing the clone makers. You’d think with all the lawyers we have access to, that would be an easy way to kill off clones. But we’re upstream first. Best ideas win. They tell you that on day one.

Humans want to create tall (ideally, hundreds of feet tall) dams which impound a lot of water with minimal effort which stand for 100 years. We're really at it, and we care next to nothing for animals which need to go upstream / downstream.

Beavers want to eliminate that damnable gurgling sound by piling a few feet of wood around it. They're not great at it, and animals are basically free to go upstream / downstream. The dams percolate through the mud, leak and rot away, lasting days to years, but not decades.

They're dramatically different activities. You're better off comparing beaver "dams" to terraced rice cultivation in hill country, where the entire valley floor turns into innumerable sheets of flat water draining into each other in six inch elevation changes held back by bamboo and mud. A two year old with water wings can destroy a whole town's paddies if allowed to run free. Repairs are a daily thing.
