I think you missed the point. An ML model would only fail in the way KL describes under certain circumstances. If it was indeed the case that everyone does drugs, then it would learn that traffic stops in wealthy neighborhoods also leads to drug busts. The conclusion of KL and related work is that we have to be careful when training ML models to remove sources of underperformance, not that all ML models are useless.

In any case, recreational drug use might be uniformly distributed (and there is an interesting question of what anti-social activities are labeled "crimes"), it is definitely not the case that home invasions, car jackings, robberies, etc. are uniformly distributed.

> On the whole people commit crime because they are desperate (for money, for drugs, etc.), occasionally because they have an anti-social personality disorder.

If you're looking for a single summary of why people commit crime, a better summary is: people commit crimes because they don't think they'll get caught. Desperation doesn't explain all that much.
If Ubuntu Server shipped with a configuration out of the box that let a user run 'sudo rm -rf /' _by default_ then yes, I would conclude that Ubuntu is an insecure distro.

Would you not?

I don't know how compression works; would a common library for Javascript save bandwidth? I'm just thinking that JS is a lot of repeated characters and keywords, and any browser or npm or node installation could be shipped with a (partial) dictionary.

Although the bandwidth savings would only be the size of that dictionary.

Still, I can't help but think there's ways to improve size & bandwidth usage by a lot, even besides using a different compression algorithm; a non-HTTP transfer method, for example.
the retailer can be competitive by providing convenience/location, faster shipping speed, etc
Yes, arrow functions have a different (and more intuitive) lexical `this` than their more verbose counterpart. It is subtly more than just a syntax sugar.
You miss the point: lower the prices is good, lowering to kill competition is bad for users and customers.

Diapers.com is just an example.

Yeah, from an American perspective, I wouldn't take comfort in continued support from the US to save Ukraine and others. There's a good chance funding will dry up in 45 days.

I run some (20+) services using docker compose on my home server, and Traefik is great.

Cloudflare manages my domain and it allows Traefik to get letsencrypt certificates even for internal services not exposed to the outside world.

I also have multiple Traefik entrypoints for internal and external services. And cloudflared tunnel container set up to manage access to the public resources.

Then on the home router level I set/override DNS entries for internal services so they would connect directly to Traefik, instead of going through Cloudflare.

Incredibly these Cloudflare services cost exactly 0$ for now.

But I do not use compose overrides, don't really see the benefits.
That's more of a diary than an article -- jargony, disorganized, running in circles, very hard to follow. But the information might be important regardless. There's a strong implication that NIST with help of the NSA intentionally standardized on a weak algorithm.

We all know that's possible.

But can someone who follows some of this stuff more closely explain what the play would be? I always assumed that weakening public cryptography in such a way is a risky bet, because you can't be sure that an attacker doesn't independently find out what you know. You can keep a secret backdoor key (that was the accusation when they released Dual_EC_DRBG), but you can't really hide mathematical results.

Why would they be willing to risk that here?
> I would bet money the correlation between number of hours worked and criminality is inverse.

So someone working more hours at a legit job is less likely to commit a crime? I think that's likely. For one, more hours worked probably means somewhat less need for money. But I would also imagine that it's indicative of some personal traits which correlate negatively with criminality.

> In terms of impulse control, here's a study that shows people commit less crimes on Adderall than off of it, which in addition to all the correlational studies is pretty strong evidence that improving impulse control reduces criminality.

I think you forgot to link the study, but I believe the results. I absolutely don't dispute that impulse control causally effects crime. I just think that impulse control may be impacted by environmental circumstances such as poverty and a lack of quality education. Someone in tons of debt who can't afford to pay for rent or food is probably not going to feel like they have much to lose, and therefore may not care too much about the consequences of their actions.

Michael Lewis got a backstage pass for the fall of Sam Bankman-Fried
You're giving a lot of credit to the "pro-piracy side", which in this case are massive corporate surveillance platforms generating huge amounts of revenue with data they had no part in creating. There's gotta be a middle ground here that doesn't turn all artists and writers into paste for the AI machine.
The pricing system was more archaic and manually driven than I expected. Vendor Managers were asked to review pending major price drops and raises. Later, a team in India/Pakistan would be the first line of defense, then the VM would be asked to review in edge cases.

We could easily manually lower the price, however raising it was very difficult and required managerial approval.

One thing I felt was anti-competitive was price matching Costco at the "each." This would result in absurd 2-day shipping prices that could not possibly be profitable. e.g Costco sells a 24 pack of soap for $1 per soap bar. We would price match the individual soap bar such that it was a $1 delivered to the customer's door.

France caught on to this "pro" customer behaviour and is implementing laws requiring minimum shipping charges so that E-commerce platforms can't use "free" shipping in a predatory pricing manner.
In my testing about four months ago, Starlink had between one and seven outages per day lasting more than 10 minutes each. It was not reliable, and it's even more costly than the local monopoly.

My reply wasn't asking for help to find an internet service provider. There are actual monopolists extracting monopoly rents right this minute. They're causing genuine consumer harm right now, so stopping this harm should be the priority of regulators.

Where there is no ability to access competitive offerings, these actual monopolists are a different league of economic pathology from markets where consumers can access competition by clicking around in their browsers.
> building more housing doesn’t reduce the demand for housing

This is so obviously contrary to experience and common sense I'd characterize it as delusional.
Crazy story. Thanks for sharing.
All the studies linked in this thread agree with what I'm saying, please feel free to provide counterexamples
It's absolutely idiomatic to use panic in main. In fact, that's basically the only place it's allowed in "Go programming standards."
The only change I wish to suggest is the substitution of a term I'm trying to popularize. Replace "anti-social personality disorder" with "anus-type personality disorder".

These RTO discussions always miss out on this consideration: what if improved the in-office experience? What if we got rid of open office layouts and instituted cubicles, offices for teams, pairs, even individuals? This doesn't improve commutes, but at least it beats the status quo.
I can't imagine anything worse than something that is not appropriate for the abstraction... eg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaky_abstraction

Again redefining these things here... if the language has tools for all of inline raw chip specific instructions, compiler optimized versions of those instructions, virtualized and then optimized instructions, a jit compiler, and then also high level interpreter operations, then how can it be in anyway an encompassing system and how can that be coherent among all levels without requiring someone to know all levels at which point, I'm going to say no thanks and stick to tools at their respective levels of abstraction where I can reason them to be coherent rather than a dynamically allocated string which is sometimes tied to only working on amd64 because someone wanted an assembler way of pattern matching for some reason.

Maybe within the scope of scientific computing this seems logical if you just restrict yourself to matrix multiplication or whatever, but I don't see how that makes a "language" and it can be coherent, composable, etc...

I've seen a ton of examples, however, over the years of "stunt driven" technological advantages that people thought would be interesting but turned out to be the wrong solution for the wrong problem, but none that claim to break the laws of physics and reason with their evangelism than Julia. Even this article starts with "you must understand the quirks" and I hope that isn't a goal for their design because they are also claiming that I shouldn't have to know the quirks so which is it.
Here in New Zealand the current government came into power 6 years ago with a policy of reducing the prison population by 30 per cent. Not by increasing focus on prevention of crime, but by locking up fewer people. They achieved this target, and as a result crime - especially violent crime - has skyrocketed.

I think you live in a sheltered little bubble. In fact we know from your first post in this thread that when you're personally impacted by crime you quickly change your tune, much like hundreds of thousands of former NZ Labour voters.
Well, there's polkit now to avoid granting such broad permissions via setuid, so it's not like there isn't a viable alternative right now.

Thank you for the suggestion! I am using the Ace editor. I will consider adding a configuration option, but my main goal is to build a VSCode plugin, so all the configuration will be left to the user.
The US isn't at war in Ukraine, we're not fighting there. Nobody who's actually anti-war looks at Russia's invasion and says "oh that's fine let it happen", everyone supports the right to defend yourself.
I generally agree, and am quite comfortable to pay for services that are important to me like email. Though I am aware that I am in a relatively privileged position where the cost of online services isn't a big deal to me. Facebook and Google have allowed millions of people of more modest means to have reliable access to email, video, search, social media, etc, at the cost of their privacy. I'm not sure how to solve that problem.

The other thing for be is the reputation of the company. I happily pay mailbox.org for email, Bitwarden for a password manager, Mullvad for a VPN, etc. But the idea of becoming a paying customer of Meta just strikes me as icky given their reputation for being anti-privacy and anti-user. It's not really a problem for me now as I don't use Facebook but when they inevitably start charging for WhatsApp I'm not sure what I will do.
> Nevertheless it's not hard to find studies documenting the very strong link between poverty and (certain types of) crime [0].

That doesn't mean causation. The same behaviors and character flaws of a person will both make them poor and make them commit crime. A man that is unreliable, selfish and violent will be unemployable. He will also be inclined to crime because of those personal traits. What's interesting is the underlying reasons why people turn out to be that way, but people rarely want to have that discussion. They judge the world as they judge themselves, and they know that they would have little qualms about committing violent crime if they were broke.

Funny, the core table of salesforce.com is triples but they got a patent circa 2000 on a system that builds indexes and materializes views based on query profiling so the performance is good (w/ gold plated hardware). That patent is one reason why graph databases sucked for a long time.

Now the Lotus notes patents have been long expired so I’d like to see some graph database based products that can do what Notes did 30 years ago but it is lost technology like the pyramids, stonehenge and how to make HTML form applications without React.

Nice idea though retro versions of consoles that don't support the original's entire game library are so limiting. It'd be nice to at least allow for original physical media to be played, Analogue FPGA style. Not that collecting Saturn games is in any way affordable though.

Thankfully there's a Saturn core in the works for MiSTer (open-source FPGA project with support for tons of different consoles, computers, and arcade games). Still in the alpha stages, but it has improved a lot over the past year, many games are now playable. All the more impressive to me since the dev is a Ukrainian stuck behind Russian lines.

I suspect we're ideologically fairly close though I did not vote for Sanders in the primary, I believe I actually skipped 2016 then voted for Warren 2020, but I'd have been fine with Sanders though I agree he did have a fanatical contingent that was a bit off-putting. I don't think he actively encouraged that either.

I've long worked with and even dabbled a bit in sales (which would have shocked a young hotpotamus to learn - it's basically the opposite of my natural inclinations). I was quite bad at it myself - I would often try to explain nuances to people and how they need to invest in their own skill as well as buying a good product. Salespeople who promised them simple solutions that would solve all their problems were far more successful, which was a bitter early lesson for me.

What rankles though is that Trump is so transparently a buffoon - I can't believe it works for him.
yea a company's word that it respects privacy has little value. thankfully data harvesting isn't a profit stream for Apple so they see no need to collect it. Google on the other hand trades in data and would collect as much as they can.
The downstream distro maintainer is in the wrong IMO; if they want the source code, they can get the source code off of e.g. github and roll their own release.

That said, in old Java dependency management (i.e. Maven), you could often find a source file and a docs file alongside a compiled / binary release, so that you get the choice.

But this can also be done with NPM libs already; the package.json shipped in the distribution contains metadata, including the repository URL, which can be used to get the source.
The office is the real environment. When working from home, people are more isolated and heavily restricted by silos and tracking systems. That’s the false environment. Compare talking to a friend in person to texting them from miles away.
I love how the media doesn't care at all about pedestrians until a driverless car is involved. Then again, CNN will have trouble running their car and truck advertisements if they reported on the actual damage that these companies have done to our country.
Solar farms don't produce toxic fumes or excessive noise. I think they also look cool. I've never been near a wind turbine so I don't know what it would sound like. Maybe don't put one 10 feet from my front door and I'm fine.
Most of the stuff you'll find on the web is pretty old. In most industries it's not really a big issue-- waste management and industrial pump manufacturers don't change that quickly. But obviously in semis it matters more.

If you know anyone who works at a hedge fund or investment bank, you can ask them to grab some primers for you. All the big banks produce them for the major industries they cover. But they usually watermark every page of the report with the name of the client to discourage people from sharing more widely.
Hey! Well I do, sort of. It's a subscription, but if you buy it for one year, then cancel you get to use the app forever.

> The levels “Very little of the time”, “Some of the time”, and “Most of the time” were collapsed into a single level—“Hybrid”. “Not at all” was recoded as “Do Not Work from Home” and “All of the time” was recoded as “Work from Home Only”.

Imagine you had a 5 increment rating system that was 1–5 stars. Then, to interpret the data, someone decided that 2-,3-, and 4-star ratings were all equivalent.

The vast majority of those are from CI on ephemeral cloud instances.

Do you think CI should not be run?

Or CI should be run, but not on ephemeral cloud instances?

Or CI should be run on ephemeral cloud instances, but the packages should be cached using a separate service from npmjs.com (e.g. S3)? If so, what makes this other service preferable?
I haven’t been in a cubicle since 2008 with a job I left, and yes this skews my perspective.
> I think there is a key point here. This exactly is the reason why incentives markets built around IPFS are so relevant.

I fundamentally disagree. If someone wants to make filesharing easier, go ahead (personally I think dragging files into a "Shared" folder, like eDonkey/Kazaa/Limewire/etc. would be easier for non-"powerusers" than minting and securing a crypto wallet and trying to convince others of its value in exchange for storage space, but whatever).

To me, such projects seem about as relevant for IPFS as, say, Geocities is for HTTP.
Well, in this case the war was started by someone else, with neither aid nor encouragement by anyone American. Acting to help one of the fighting parties win doesn't seem noticeable "pro-war", AFAICT, it's just a question of how the war ends, as opposed to other possible ends of the same war.
Being able dynamically configure Traefik routes from docker compose labels is the whole point. It is a very useful feature. In most cases I get full overview in a single compose file, and I do not have to configure or restart the http proxy separately, `docker compose up -d` does everything.

Some sort of keyboard shortcut settings screen is my todo list. Honestly it's a total PITA because different libraries handle shortcuts in different places, so I've been putting it off.

My focus after 4.0 is tidying up this type of stuff :-).
Every time issue comes up it's abundantly clear that the complaints are due to Amazon doing a thing that's like kinda shitty but not abnormal in business mixed with a massive pool of sellers that have zero exposure to traditional retail. You don't see business like Nike making a fuss because to them Amazon is just another retail channel that has their own teams managing the relationship and the weirdness isn't that different than the other people they sell to.

But I also sympathize because I think the eternal September of people stepping into that world producing so many WTFs at the accepted state of things they harmonize is a potentially good vector to push for some change because no one else is going to do it. The people who don't get eaten alive have no motivation to upset things lest they inadvertently hurt themselves.
> The solution to reduce crime is also logical and clear, but politically unfeasible: extended incarceration.

The death penalty for misdemeanors would also reduce crime. The externalities make it not worth it.

Very few people are in prison for simple possession. The American justice system, contrary to most popular sentiment, is quite diversionary. As a percentage, Sweden probably has more people in prison for drug possession than America.

Most prisoners have been convicted of a violent crime.
I'm a little concerned that the downturn in that graph coincides with changing from measuring one financial instrument to another. But i dont know enough about those instruments to know if that's an issue or not :)
Just act normal and ask for the manager. Like the parent comment noted "probably very much worth the small investment in tools." Be sure to get one of the fancy black rubber hoses instead of the green ones so things look more professional.

> On iOS, there's nrf connect. Which is slightly more limited, but can still do BLE. I think there's other bluetooth-serial apps for iphones, but apple has a stick up their butt about bluetooth-classic not working super good unless the other device has a "made for i" chip/cert in it.

Is BLE why "modern" iphones don't have issues with android/3rd party devices/accessories? I remember a long time ago when an iPhone meant you could only share bluetooth with other Apple devices. My iPhone today doesn't seem to be like that.
