Google is stuck with gmail whether they like it or not.

Gmail is used by what, 1.8 billion people? And e-mail isn't some small take-it-or-leave-it feature. Even disregarding the mail itself, e-mail is central as a form of online ID for accounts.

If Google tried to kill Gmail there would be an uproar of incredible proportions.

Realistically, their best bet for getting rid of it would be to gradually abandon it, making it slower, less reliable, taking away features, etc over the course of a decade or two. But even then, they'd likely need to wait another ~40 years for generational effects to kick in and most people to get off of it.
Why all application migrations should be incremental

I think it's good to get a case like this on the books and a precedent established because I think the enthusiasm with which some entities are embracing 'deplatforming' is a bit disturbing and some pushback is well overdue.
Yes, those were the two paths outside the area I mentioned. They called those controls, but I listed issues with that assumption.

What are the odds that picking any region of the Indian Ocean would result in a similar pattern? Are the two so-called "control" runs outside the area enough to establish good sampling statistics?

Also, how well does the sampling replicate? The have cases where they have multiple sled runs over the same space ("we assigned the average spherule density to that pixel") so they can easily report the variability for that point. I don't see any such report.

If there's high variability, then what they are reporting as pixels 0.005 degrees on a side could be a blurred effect of point sampling. They assumed it would be uniformly distributed, but that doesn't make it so.
The alternative to buying a business that has borrowed too much and hence will have poor return on investment is to not invest in the business. It is always a choice to take more risks than the bare minimum (i.e. buying USG debt).

If a business borrows money, and people still buy the shares, then that means people are willing to bet the amount borrowed will still allow for a sufficient return on investment. So where is the problem?
Maybe I will read it later, for now I stay with the ones suggested by other users. You can't understand which practices you should and shouldn't follow unless you are an expert
Exactly. This is what's so confusing to me. How can any intelligent person think that they can predict what will happen even 10 years out, let alone 100 or 1000. The chaotic dynamics of nonlinear systems renders the Foundation series laughably ungrounded, and seems to be overlooked by many today.
I find it tiresome that blogposts about privacy always end up devolving into a discussion about how data can be used against individuals. There is a flip side to that coin, which is the individual's free will. Every one of us here chooses our actions, every day. If we don't like what Google knows about us, maybe it is time to ask ourselves hard questions, and to learn to truly accept ourselves as well as improving where we fall short.

This includes phenomena such as polarizing news causing social strife. If we simply took the time to understand how things are connected as well as how things are not, we would not so easily fall victim to propaganda. We can't just use the excuse that since Google knows our search history that we have no control over whether we are polarized. We also can't assume that once we de-Google our lives that we are any more properly prepared against polarizing propaganda. Lessons of mindfulness toward our neighbors' struggles don't come for free.

On top of that, the author of the linked blogpost is fooling himself. Other than halfway proving a point, he hasn't solved much. By continuing to use Google Maps he essentially makes a great deal of his online activity discoverable, undoing much of his work to "de-Google" his life.

Furthermore, Google has settings to blunt ad targeting, which seem quite effective, and you'll end up learning about CNC machines and dental drills in between your YouTube binges. If there was someone I'd accuse of dark patterns with ad targeting, that someone would be Meta.

Ground breaking CGI used to be a selling point because you do things that weren't before possible.

Nowadays everything is more or less possible in CGI and it has lost its appeal a bit. Now it's appealing to advertise the fact you're doing things for real.
I have a hypothesis that the double slit experiment provides evidence that the universe is simulated. It always makes me wonder if photons act as waves when unobserved because it's easier to simulate the general area a particle could end up to save computing costs. However, when observed, the simulation must make the granular calculations and show where that individual particle actually ended up.

It also calls into question how much we can learn about the beginning of our universe. We are "trapped" by the physics of our universe so there may be no grand explanation of where all the energy came from. If the universe is simulated it's not like we're going to suddenly get down to the source code, there will just be a distinct point when the universe booted and all the stuff started happening.
I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be using AI for. I already know how to code, tried for a decade to make ACR (auto content recognition) work with CNNs, and as best I can tell, chatGPT can write a news article for you if you write it first and then hire someone else to edit it.

The unfortunate side effect of being subjected to this sort of insanity from a young age. That conditioning is very hard to shake off.
I am seeing a parallel to modern day socialists/communists. Despite hundreds of instances of real adherents to the philosophy really trying in earnest to achieve communism in a wide variety of cultures, geographies and situations, it never works. We know why it works and economists can tell you exactly why it doesn't work. Yet, every new case of communism's failure is chalked up to not being "real communism" or being "bastardized by dictators".
> The proper way to fight scrum is to measure the time it takes to perform the scrum 'ceremonies'. It's rarely less than 30% of the total work time in a sprint. 50% seems to be very common.

I do not understand how this is possible.

* Sprint planning: 2 hours

* Sprint review: 1 hour

* Sprint retro: 1 hour

* Daily stand-up: 15min / day

On a 2 week sprint, 80 hours, that's 5.5 hours spent on ceremonies. That's ~7%.

What are you doing that it could ever take _half_ of total work time and how will you convince management that you aren't completely fucking up scrum?

That's silly. Obviously all cultures have their own issues, and I'd say it's actually rather patronizing to pretend that non-Western cultures don't have their own dynamics of bias and discrimination.

Having said that, as a cultural Westerner, I'd be very loathe to speak much on the topic of the Indian caste system, as while it's clearly a real thing, and I believe those Indians in America who say it is, I'm certain I lack enough context and background to talk about it without it ending up being an exercise in projecting my own culture's dynamics onto theirs. It's the kind of conversation I think I probably need to do far more listening that talking in.

If you go into something with the intention of 'this sucks' and then do not even want to make it work would it not reason that it probably will fail?

Scrum usually fails because people become enamored with the process instead of thinking about what that process is for. Layering on more and more of it because something is not working. Until you are busy with 40% of your time just managing scrum. Something in scrum not working throw it out. Do not double down and add more.
Why do I need to waste effort to reference 101 material. If you don't possess basic subject matter knowledge, that can be done by trivial research, i.e. PRC export value by year, or graduation rates relative to urban youth unemployment rate, all of which has been referenced in western media, and apply figures to basic analysis that PRC % of global exports is increasing, or PRC net high skill workforce increasing faster than youth unemployment, then you're the kind of "useful idiot" (not pejorative, just term for people who fall for / or go beyond propaganda narratives) not worth effortful engagement and I leave my comment/analysis/rebuttle as service for benefit of other readers.

While I’m sure that once we reach the good enough stage, people will be too lazy to switch. But I don’t think we are there yet. Especially if another one can make you save lots of time.

It’s like the beginning of search engines. Altavista. Yahoo. Lycos. There was a lot going on but none of them were good enough. Once google showed up, people switched permanently and rarely switched back. But that took years. And also that took billions of dollars to buy the default search box (creating a whole new browser or paying apple for the iOS search bar)

Yes, it looks like it's "just" a tutorial.

As someone who recently started dabbling into MCU programming, I can tell you that a tutorial that shows you all the steps, and has an end result that works and can still be tweaked, is valuable. The DX you may be used to in modern programming is something you can only dream of in the embedded world. Every manufacturer has their own bespoke frameworks, tools, and conventions. The development loop is long: you have to build the thing, flash it to the firmware, reboot the device... You're dealing with raw bytes 99% of the time, so compiler type safety is little help in checking that your program will behave as expected and mistakes are frequent. The global state is huge, and with so little computing/memory resources, you're discouraged from introducing complex abstraction that would help clarify the code or avoid mistakes.
Not sure about that. For a long time, the go-to "dad car" was a wagon, with wooden siding.

(1) Nobody seems to dispute that Loeb has in the past done important work.

(2) Very little of his recent work seems highly cited.

(3) He has a team of grad students working on their own projects (from a video posted on this thread, amusingly, he cites an anecdote about his grad students expressing concern about the volume of superficial publishing he'd been doing and the implications on their own careers).

(4) Some of his publishing seems strategic, an effort to do the minimum possible work, assisted by his status to get things published, so that he can claim a place in the cite record for ideas that other scientists do the real work on (the video again has some examples).

(5) Is 50,000+ citations that many? I have to scroll through at least 5 pages of astronomy/astrophysics professors to get down to that count on Scholar, and Loeb is late-career, high-status.
Thank you for doing this. Although I'm sure it's not purely for altruistic reasons, open source ai is important:)

Not that I disagree with you, but I read your message as: "managers suck, so I found a way to work around them".

It is a bit sad, but that is my experience as well. I had one good manager in my 12 years experience. I had to work around the rest.

I used to be on that headphone jack hill until my headphones died. I then realized, that the market for "normal" headphones, i.e. the ones you just hang in your ears and not the ones you ram into your ear canal, has simply died while I wasn't looking. I've switched to Aeropex and have never been happier. I still think removing the jack was a stupid "hey look, we can do what Apple does" kind of move by nearly everyone, but I now can accept it and live with it.

I see OBC mentioned here many times but never defined in comments:

The Other Backward Class (O.B.C.) is a collective term used by the Government of India to classify castes which are educationally or socially backward. It is one of several official classifications of the population of India, along with General castes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs and STs).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_Backward_Class

The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic instance of social classification based on castes. It has its origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj.

Key terms:

* Varna, meaning type, order, colour, or class are a framework for grouping people into classes, first used in Vedic Indian society. . . .
* Jati, meaning birth, is mentioned less often and clearly distinguished from varna. There are four varnas but thousands of jatis. . . .
* . . . [C]aste is derived from the Portuguese word casta, meaning "race, lineage, breed" and, originally, "'pure or unmixed (stock or breed)". . . .

What was actually being offered here? Money? How much? This seems like such vague VC-marketing speak.

I wonder if it's more intended to be used for additional perimeter security. I doubt they're going to be making as much noise if they're just hunkered down in a fox hole with only a small periscope peeking out, and then just have it make noise when it pops up to engage.

OK, but you get that there are multiple whole fields of academic study on these topics, right? Loeb didn't conceive of any of this stuff; the field for the most part doesn't really need our ideas or intuition on where they should be looking (unless you want to put the work in to contribute to the field yourself).
To add another source, the Atlantic had a piece on birthrates in South Korea last March: https://archive.li/Fm93M

Quoting from the article:

> There are a lot of reasons people decide not to have a baby. Young Koreans cite as obstacles the high cost of housing in greater Seoul (home to roughly half the country’s 52 million citizens), the expense of raising a child in a hypercompetitive academic culture, and grueling workplace norms that are inhospitable to family life, especially for women, who are still expected to do the bulk of housework and child care. But these explanations miss a more basic dynamic: the deterioration in relations between women and men—what the Korean media call a “gender war.”

Unfortunately, there seems to be little commonality in how men and women see the issue. Hard to imagine any solution at all.
> What you get after 2 years is the chance to sign up for another 2-year subscription, which includes a new phone, paid monthly over another 2 years.

Does it really matter? Most TOSes that i've read clearly include the possibility of the service provider to interrupt the contract at any time without any consequences.

Which really means that the "what you get" above is really just an agreement on how much to pay and how often.
This sort of questioning just supports maintaining the status quo even if that benefits nobody.

I don't know what the regulations should be but that doesn't mean regulations shouldn't exist. Businesses are under perhaps thousands of regulations and I can only name a few. How many can you name? What problems do those regulations solve? Do you think they shouldn't exist as well?

I avoid using google wherever possible. Forget all the hate they get. Their customer service sucks making it harder to recommend any of their product. Then there is the fact that they will just kill the product any time.

I'm not suggesting that "don't call it Scrum" be the final word in software development methodology.

I am suggesting that calling it Scrum will increase your risk of failure, and you'll likely be better off choosing a completely different methodology that has more consistency in implementation and a higher success rate.

By all means let's dig into what specific details of the implemented methodologies work well and which don't! But taking the output of that process and calling it "Real Scrum™" will just lead to further confusion.
