Well for me it does, at least to some extent, as I use Chromium built by Arch Linux and run a new clean profile for each call. I highly doubt Google is collecting my actual data (not metadata), like AV streams or even web history, in this configuration.
I'm going to propose, really just out of my butt so to speak, that most Go apps that use databases nonetheless are themselves middleware kinds of services that are involved with software infrastructure, as opposed to what we might call "business cases". That is, American Express might have a bunch of Go services that are deriving data from small configurationally-oriented databases all around the organization, but "the database with everyone's account information and credit card statements" is absolutely not a five table DB with a single Go application on top of it. 1200-table databases at the center of business cases will continue to exist, it's just Go applications are not themselves centralized business applications, Go is currently an infrastructure language (I googled around for this conjecture and it's obviously debated, but is still a pretty prevalent assertion I can find being made a lot). The boring business stuff is still in places like Java, Python, C#, etc.
> No wonder the EU can't build.

That was unnecessary.

> I don't blame them or any company for exploring how they can monetize every last morsel of data.

That's how a company works: try to do everything they legally can to make as much money as they can. Society has to decide of the framework into which companies optimize, and that is materialized with laws that the companies must follow. In the EU, there is a tendency to believe that users have a right to some kind of privacy.

Of course, this constrains what companies can do, and you could say "no wonder the EU can't build". I just call that cultural differences. In most countries in the EU, people don't have to start a crowdfunding campaign when they go to the hospital, because they actually have some kind of social security. I am all for GDPR.

it's hard to separate the person and the PR stunt at this point.
Yes- that's why people in the comments keep griping about how little tax he has to pay
> He said you can rate transport by the number of passengers you can load per hour.

That's not really a fair metric. Taking rail requires me to take a bus at each end and increases my journey length considerably. I would be boosting the passenger per hour of 3 vehicles despite a worse experience?

I think metrics should capture the full cost and experience of the system. Having someone take transit for an 10% longer journey can be worthwhile, having someone take transit for 300% longer journey to save traffic might not be worthwhile if it reduces their labor output to society considerably.
This was roughly speaking my first thought as well. I thought "Well we always laughed at the sci-fi depictions of people with big cans of air for sale, come pay for premium filtered air ... but this is how that all starts, isn't it. Rich people pay for an air that might make them think 10% faster, then as it starts to normalize to the middle-class, they care less and less about pollutants in the air and eventually we just regard that as a poor-peoples' problem."
I always like how good old Warren Buffett is calling for high earners to be taxed more, yet he never seems to show up on any of these high earner lists...
We all want to do it that way then.. I will choose my own ways to spend the tax dollars as I see fit? Too bad we don’t live in such a society
This is false dichotomy, the only options aren't abortion or be mom, there are plenty of people that would love to adopt.
Agreed. I don't think anything needs to be redone. Just a general thickening of what's already there. And dial in alternatives in what exists. Roads in the US are so so wide already. Start with carving out BRT, bike-lanes, ... so people find it safe and convenient to bike or take a bus. Won't even impact drivers. Congestion is mostly due to total car volume and number of intersections/bottlenecks, not number of lanes.

when GPT-4 first became available, I had a feeling that something about it felt “hacky”. Compared to GPT-3 which was more streamlined, mature, and well thought out, GPT-4 was like a system put together to outperform the previous one at all costs. I wouldn’t be surprised if that led to design decisions that made their model hard to improve. Maybe GPT-5 will not be around any time soon.

Do you believe there is any justification for believing the EPA has gone far beyond the original intention for the agency created by Nixon?

Do you believe the EPA of today is the same EPA that was founded in those days?

or has the remit of the EPA like most federal agencies been expanded to the point of totalitarian control where by in many instances they are a detriment to their own stated goals, and certainly seen as no longer caring about balancing public liberty, property rights, or economic interests in their zealous often extremist pursuit of regulatory control over all aspects of anything remotely connected to their purview.

In short the EPA like most federal agencies routinely abuse their authority, invent new authority from thin air, and over all make the lives of every day people miserable who just want to build a home, a business or simply live their lives.

I recently joined a small online forum from my country. They had some people write the whole thing from scratch more or less.

I happen to be traveling currently.

When I log into the forum from my location, which is one hour away time zone wise from the country the forum is from, and I make a post, I then see the timestamp for my own post presented as “in 59 minutes”.

I reported the bug, but they didn’t fix it yet. I still find it hilarious.

I happen to know that the owner of the forum is planning to go abroad sometime in January. If he does he will surely see this weirdness himself firsthand when he posts to his forum. Maybe then, once he gets to see it himself, a fix will be prioritised :p

So what's the deal with something like employers requiring use of this. Is there any limit to what terms you must agree to to be employed somewhere?

It seems pretty weird that if your office used Zoom, that you would need to agree to all these terms that aren't part of your employment contract to actually be employed.

i didn't say athos was an independent society; i'm just talking about culturally distinct societies, and which features do and do not seem to be universal across all of them. certainly nobody can doubt that the monks of mount athos have cultural traditions that strongly distinguish them from even other orthodox monks, much less nearby towns, but they still have their own rooms and robes. monks in the idiorrhythmic sketes can own quite a bit more than that, as i understand it, and in no case do monks steal personal property from visitors, as they would do if they rejected the concept of private property entirely

very few communities have not been "dependent on the outside from replenishment" within recorded history; even before recorded history, bronze-age mesopotamian kingdoms were evidently dependent on tin imported from cornwall, without which their rule would have collapsed

even deep into the stone age we have strong evidence of long-distance trading of prime knapping flint, but it's harder to know if communities were dependent on it; maybe if their trade routes were cut, they would have made do with lower-quality local flint

(just to disambiguate, this is not evidence that these ancient societies had private property; they might have been trading only their collective property. but they do seem to have made their tools of daily use from materials imported from other societies)

there are autarkic societies (the man of the hole, north sentinel island, the toromona, perhaps the himarimã, arguably north korea) but they are very much the exception, and have been for millennia, if not longer

i don't see that importing the young people that you need to perpetuate your society is particularly different from importing food or weapons. nobody doubts that argentina continued being a distinct society during the late 19th and early 20th century, despite mass immigration from europe increasing its population severalfold https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_to_Argentina#Featu...

Yeah, though I don't really understand your privacy/security model. If you are worried about being targeted directly by Google or some three letter agency, you certainly should not use any of this technology. Instead, you need to go back to the basics, to something running on a physically segregated network, with a much smaller attack surface area. If you are just worried about being dragnet tracked, you are way better off with Jitsi than Zoom even if you end up using Chromium to connect to the session.
>as we’ve previously reported, Bezos had so little income in a couple of recent years that he was able to pay $0 in federal income taxes in those periods.

This is the part people are bothered by.

Regardless of why, billionaires should never be paying $0 in federal income taxes. Our tax code and the people finding loopholes in it should not do this.

Executives should not be able to be "unpaid" for years because they're getting tax advantaged stock deals.

Nobody should be able to have that much wealth and have a year with no taxes.

If you are the human at the end of the line of ownership that ultimately benefits from assets, you should be charged ordinary income as you extract from those assets.

The only people who should owe $0 in federal taxes are those earning less than a full time minimum wage salary during that tax year, with no exceptions for folks who magically seem to find millions of dollars to spend during a year that they "earned" $0.

According to the article, there were actually conflicting guidelines.

The FAA said always follow TCAS ("any guidance from TCAS overrides guidance from ATC"), whereas other regulators were either vaguely non-committal to which had overriding priority or assigned priority to ATC.

It also notes that the Russian pilots were not accustomed to TCAS (which was not common in Russia, at the time). Even further, to the extent they were familiar with it, Russian regulations noted that the ATC's guidance superseded all other guidance systems.

I've heard of people who had terrible experiences with ex Amazon engineers. I've met a few of them, and not the greatest group of people to work with. Of course I'm stereotyping a very large company so take it with a grain of salt.
what a nonsense comparison. anyway, you're showing a misunderstanding of the complexity of capital allocation.

So he should have donated 1 billion? why not 2? why not 5? why not 10? well hang on, 10 billion for greening some areas? That's not an optimal use of 10 billion. 8 of those should go to doctors without borders. wait hang on, have you seen the ukrainian refugee crisis? and you're putting 8 billion towards doctors without borders? they should get at least 3 of that. wow so you've donated 10 billion dollars but not a single dollar towards educating women in third world countries? etc ad nauseum.

I guess your take is probably that it's his responsibility to donate 100% of his wealth optimally across the world, and spend the rest of his life doing that. but i'm appealing to people with more sense when I say: don't underestimate how difficult it is to "correctly" spend a large amount of wealth.
Well, it is.

Neat to see. It seems to align with expectations, in that many vision troubles are not with the eyes.

That said, I am surprised that the vision troubles you will have from cataracts is the same. I was originally skeptical of the opening claim that many vision issues are preventable, but seeing that surgical corrections has a positive impact does show this.
Same here. Access to screens has opened a lot of valuable conversations for us with my 6 year old and understanding how to use tech appropriately. We recently had a talk about the difference between the iPad "making him feel better" and "distracting him from his feelings". He ended up opting to make cookies with me instead of watching YouTube after he'd gotten upset. He's also the first to point out to the other kids when something is "probably not real" because we've had so many conversations about how what we see on a screen isn't always real. He's definitely going to be the kid who ruins Santa for the others lol.
Figure 2 in our paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09702) shows the difference for a single regex.

I personally feel a moral obligation to pay my fair share of taxes, especially if I expect my community to be a place I want to be. I could itemize more stuff and pay less but I'm in a position where I can still live comfortably taking the base deduction. In my opinion ultra rich people should be doing the same whether the rules change or not.

The problem is that the district in question has for a lot of reasons, many with good intentions, built this as a 100k separate problems. They wanted to abstract student assignment outside of geography and for the most part they have. They've lost the ability to just "push pin" the map because any way you slice it, it's now too much of a tangled spiderweb, because they don't want the map to make sense. They intentionally wanted to break map clusters and patterns. They can't rely on the map because they've built it so that they can't rely on the map. They've obviously built something that they can't scale easily, and it is a travelling salesman nightmare problem in so many of the harder ways.

(They did this to themselves of course, but suggesting that they just start over with push pins on a large enough scale map ignores why they are in the problem in the first place. The map doesn't make sense. There's no way to intuit a 90% solution because there aren't patterns on the map. They didn't want patterns on the map.)
I kind of like the threadID system that some boards use. Unfortunately(?) the ones I frequent are too tame for it to get enabled.

Our court system is already constitutionally violatingly too slow (but we overlook it because who cares about the constitution nowadays) but yes lets change cases to have 15 judges that ought to be a workable solution. Or wait, we can have an appeals court (that normally has three judges hear an appeal) that though slow at least moves. I can't imagine if the courts were 15 times slower (because the judges were all on one case). I can't imagine every po-dunk jurisdiction that can barely justify 1 judge having 15.
I agree. I feel like they are taking "story" too literally now. Science news is soon approaching the level of superfluous meandering of online recipes. I'm not saying I don't care about the context, but a news article should be different to a short story. And, I still think there is a place for these things, but not for all articles, only some.

As other languages that run on existing environments most likely have done. C#, F#, Clojure, TypeScript, Swift, and many others probably had to take similar considerations. Then at a lower level, if you want to maintain ABI compatibility, that may also impose restrictions.

Much of the software we write needs to deal with the constraints of its environments. It would be unfortunate if we decide to give all of them the uncharitable description of being defined by "dubious design choices for the innards" even when known well-defined patterns surface from designing within constraints.
E.Cholakian: Global Climate Threat: Urgent Address to World Science Community
In his address, Egon Cholakian reveals the true and shocking reasons behind global climate change, climatic anomalies, and catastrophes that are escalating worldwide. Egon Cholakian explains the pattern of recurring climate catastrophes that we are currently experiencing. This pattern is reflected in a unique mathematical model indicating a geometric progression in the growth of climate catastrophes, which could lead to the demise of humanity in the coming years. As Egon Cholakian stated, "Our planet is on the brink of self-destruction, and humanity has only a few years left to prevent the impending catastrophe."

Egon Cholakian proposes the only viable and scientifically substantiated solution available today that can save us from a global climate catastrophe. Action must be taken soon while we can still change the situation. This information is being revealed for the first time.

Egon Cholakian, is a qualified Particle Physicist, affiliated with the preeminent CERN particle physics laboratory as a Future Circular Collider technology developer. Collaborates in the arrangement of NASA’s NISAR mission. A member of the International Association of Intelligence Educators and an international tax Law professional. Served as a Legislative Tax Analyst attached to the President's Commission on International Trade and Investment Policy under President Nixon and President Ford. Worked with the Reagan Kitchen Cabinet, and Reagan White House within President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative project. In total, Egon Cholakian worked with four U.S. Presidents. Currently serves as a federal lobbyist at The U.S. Congress and White House. Egon Cholakian has emerged as a prominent voice on climate change and national security-related matters.
But is it even enforced? Take software licenses. Most software out there uses open-source licensed dependencies. Even the permissive licenses require attribution.

But most software does not honor those licenses, and nobody cares. Enforcing such a law takes money.

I guess at least the GDPR can be enforced, to some extent, with Big Data. It seems like the fines are usually ridiculously low (they don't seem like an intensive for the company to change anything), but that's better than nothing.
>No, they're attempting to profit from others misery

Do you also get upset that construction workers profit after a disaster, because all the demand that it creates?

>when those people there are probably not in a position to refuse even an unfair offer.

You know what's worse than having your house burnt down, not having enough money to fix it, so you have to accept an "unfair offer" and move to Oklahoma or whatever? Having your house burnt down, not having enough money to fix it, and going homeless because you can neither fix your house nor sell it to buy one somewhere else.

The problem seems to be that you think the two options are:

1) Rich people are offering to buy the house, and the homeowner is forced to sell and move out :(

2) The homeowner isn't forced to sell and lives happily ever after :D

When in reality the second option doesn't exist and is a fabricated option[1]. The homeowner's house is burnt down. He doesn't have the money to fix it. He's already homeless. Not having the "unfair offer" isn't going to magically fix his house or give him money. The only way for him to live happily ever after is if he gets an infusion of cash somehow (eg. government aid or private donations), which has nothing to do with the "unfair offer". As long as the people making offers to buy the house also aren't simultaneously lobbying against government aid or whatever, they're not making the situation any worse. On the contrary, they're making the situation better by giving the homeowner more options.
