Echo this. We paid a lot for 24/7 postpartum nannies, au pairs, and other kinds of nannies. Good quality liquid formula so my wife could catch up on sleep. Various appliances, strollers, car seats, toys, etc. There is some narrative out there that throwing money at the problems is cheating, missing out on bonding time, not as good for the child, etc. It's pretty much all lies, in my opinion to make some people feel better about not being able to afford these things. Years later, we have healthy young children and have loving relationships with them. But almost equally as important, my wife and I had lots of time to relax, recharge, and take care of our physical and mental health.

I worked these obnoxious high pressure tech jobs for many years, and now is when I get to reap the benefits.

Glad to see Chevron Deference at the top here. Basically, the FCC can’t “rule” they can “dictate” and this isn’t a power explicitly granted by congress. It’s some made up judicial rules that say these federal agencies can do it
Twilio had some strict policies introduced that I think were industry wise for USA. Basically all voip numbers had to go through thorough checks, which even our legitimate company failed (go figure). So as long as all companies like Twilio introduce those checks then spam calls should dramatically decrease. I thought it was already the case for USA?

AirPods...I have about 6 different "true wireless headphones". AirPods IMO worse than cheap version of Pixel Buds that google give away for free just for existing. Max and Pro are alright, but the original and 2nd gen AirPods are my least favorite headphones.

Their nice seamless device migration is nice, but only possible because they control all sides of it. Also, doesn't work well if connected to Apple TV for some reason - doesn't automatically switch when you pickup the phone.
System F is a polymorphic lambda calculus, it's more theoretical than practical (typing must be explicit or type inference may be impossible) but a restriction of its typing scheme is one you may have heard of, and the Hindley-Milner type inference algorithm works for it.

was brown vs board of education "activist?"

possibly. I don't think I know anyone who regrets it though.

SCOTUS is just one big game of political football. for centuries.
There is no philosophy, it's just partisan politics. Some examples,

They are supposedly "originalist" except in their 2nd amendment rulings they ignore "A well regulated Militia" because guns is a Republican religion.

In banning Biden's student relief they ignored the text of the law and legislated from the bench just saying that it was unfair because the size was too "significant". Activism.

Last year they invented out of thin air the "major questions doctrine" to override the Clean Air Act and help polluters. Activism.

In 2022, without citing any principle, they said OSHA couldn't protect workers from covid. Activism.

When they gutted the Voting Rights Act they invented an "equal dignity of the states" doctrine. Activism.

To conservatives judicial activism is only a problem when liberals do it.

This method unfortunately falls apart if you get a phone call from a hospital. They'll leave you a voice message, but when you call the same number back you'll get the front desk instead of the doctor who left you the message. They'll patch you through to the ward your Dad's in, but they won't be able to give out any information over the phone, so you'll need to wait for the doctor to call you back. They're out doing their rounds at the moment, but they'll get back to you as soon as they can.
iCloud’s Hide My Email is perfect for this. No “+” convention, it just generates a random @icloud.com email address specifically for whatever website/app you’re signing up for, and forwards it to your real email. The random addresses are indistinguishable from real iCloud.com email addresses, there’s no naming convention a website can reject.

I never worry about sites that require signups any more, I just autogenerate an email for them and use a fake name. I couldn’t give a shit less if they get hacked or leak data, because the email and password are randomly generated. If they turn out to spam me I just disable that email address and never hear from them again.

The only people who have my “real” email addresses are people I know personally.

That's psychology and cognitive science. It can be meaningful, insightful, at times revelatory, all while suffering from a degree of non-reproducibility and confirmation bias.
Sorry to hijack this, but a related problem of mine is I can't picture myself going through a doorway. Like the brain just doesn't compute for some reason.
What I'm saying is similar to the third quote, where you start after the abstract by reading the last 1-5 lines of the introduction. Only if you want to proceed further do you dedicate the time to read or skim the entire intro, which can span multiple pages. You save tens of seconds and a lot of thinking this way, plus it helps frame things by giving a concise statement you can reference as you ask "how does what I'm reading build towards the paper's goals?"
They make the mistake of spelling it correctly, lol. Silly programmers.
> What Popper did was give a name to the behavior bigots were already demonstrating. Bigots don't say "you have to support my beliefs because of the paradox of tolerance", they say "you are not being tolerant if you don't support my intolerance" (for whatever group they're targeting).

No, and no. He didn't "give a name to the behavior of bigots", and he didn't posit that bigots demand tolerance on rational grounds. In fact, he says something close to the opposite :

"...for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols"

> in that time the generally accepted answer is that tolerance is a social contract, and part of that is that tolerance is necessarily a two way street

... in that time? That description of tolerance is baked into his argument. The entire paradox, short as it is, revolved around the handling of (ultimately, violent) edge cases who don't care about meeting you anywhere.

I'm not going to continue engaging in this thread, but just for general and future reference here is the footnote we've been discussing :

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

> [the results showed] particularly high levels of loneliness in those that spend over 75% of their time with others.

What % of those classified as having 'particularly high levels of loneliness' do in fact spend over 75% of their time with others, though?

While it may certainly be true that some peoples loneliness persists despite high levels of arbitrary human contact (arbitrary in the sense that this study does not measure the nature or quality of the contact), regardless, it still stands to reason - and would be reflected in the study results, I suspect - that there are also a significant quantity of lonely people who do yearn for higher levels of contact, and consider themselves unable to obtain it.

That such yearned-for contact is desired to be positive, meaningful contact, as opposed to rote or shallow interactions, also stands to fairly incontrovertible reason.
This is only true for certain workloads. Specifically, workloads that you can put behind a load balancer.

One huge advantage of FaaS infrastructure like Lambda is when your workload doesn't need to process >1 rps. Lambda, for example, has tight and unique integration with foundational AWS services like S3, SNS, SQS, and EventBridge.

Lambda is awesome when you need small scale reliability. I shouldn't have to run a VM 24x7 if I don't need to!

Running 1000's of EC2's at scale? Want to handle instance health notifications?

My favorite use of Lambda is S3 object event notifications, it makes it very easy to handle a variety of odd jobs by decoupling storage and compute and managing each independently. S3 Events are exactly the right use case for LLRT.
Losing ~ALL your free time can hurt alot mentally, esp if you had very specific life goals like starting a business and escaping the 9-5 (vs generic ones like travelling the world etc), you likely have to give those up, and that can be very difficult mentally and emotionally

EDIT: And goes without saying, but try all you can to get into a job/role that's remote and not super time-consuming or stressful.

If I buy a book, and later find it missing on the shelf because the bookstore owner took it back and burned it, it's not a matter of refund.

It's theft.

This kind of analogy and language has been used to punish those who break copyright laws (particularly, by Sony, which also influenced these laws).

That sword better cut both ways then.

The executives should get prison terms for the corresponding number of counts of theft, just like copyright infringers did, and their victims should be compensated for damages, not what they merely paid.
yeah, okay... whatever
I'm confused now about the ISG also. I suspect it serves as a 12v alternator for lights, etc. and the main battery charging is done through the hybrid motor, but it's hard to tell from the limited info in the article. Further confusing is that the EV only mode is supposed to work up to "gear 4" which suggests perhaps the motor is before the transmission, in a manner similar to what you suggested with two clutches.

On a much smaller scale, a lot of this applies to getting on Amazon's various genre specific bestseller lists. I know an author who pivoted to helping others with book launches and he says that virtually anyone can hit the top spot if you just check off all the right to dos (get friends to buy all on the same [low traffic] days, leave you good reviews, concentrate most of the ad budget on launch day, etc). Getting the top spot will help you coast for a while.

Ah, manipulative arguments here we come!

If property taxes don't vary based on who owns them, but rather by some standardized valuation, then why does it matter if it is owned by an LLC, a Corp, or some individual? The tax is the same and needs to be paid regardless. The land will need to be used effectively, or it's a cost on a balance sheet somewhere coming out of someone's pocket.

The 'utility based value' is always the same then, correct? And the incentive to use it effectively is the same too, correct?

The 'value' of these kinds of rule changes is because, eventually, the tax WILL be different based on who owns it. 'Good people' (based on the current political winds) of course being given good rates, and 'Bad people' getting punitive rates or having it outright seized.

We already have currency. Given how widespread microtransactions are in other industries, it's really only web journalism that hasn't figured it out. Even those physical newspapers are ad-supported. Hell, if you leave out the ads in a Sunday paper you get complaints. Web advertising is a cesspool in comparison and the market leaders are incentivized to keep it that way. Inventing new money won't fix that.
There are so many scams on every platform that it's ridiculous. I think the gatekeepers are responsible for it TBH. Prior to big tech usurping control over distribution, a lot more effort went into branding and direct distribution of apps. People understood the difference between lastpass.com and totallynotfakelastpass.com. Then big tech started obscuring identity and trust information in an effort to push users towards their gateways (Google search, Apple app store, etc) instead. And here we are, in a world filled with users that can't help themselves because they've been systematically dumbed-down by big tech.

We're on the 2nd generation of users that have been trained to trust the app store which is little more than a big search engine due to the volume. I would compare it to searching for an app on Google and installing whatever shows up high in the results.

The average user doesn't have the tools to discover the trustworthiness of individual developers, and haven't for ~15 years, which has led to a situation where no one (normal) could assess things properly even if you gave them the tools they need.
I am not a lawyer. If an informed opinion regarding the your proposed alternative matters, hire a lawyer with expertise in such matters. On the other hand, if it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.

Instead I have some training in philosophy. It gives me some experience with slippery slope arguments, the philosophical rationales for animal rights, and some other equally useful (or useless) ideas.

But insofar as I understand the common law, persons are strictly liable for matters of strict liability and “being guilty” would require a criminal act (e.g. criminal negligence).

But again, hire a lawyer if it matters etc.
I was born in '98, and I remember when my family got our first computer and an AOL connection, which means it was at least a few years later than '98. I was in a middle-class family in the Midwest. While parts of America may have gotten online earlier, the late 90's and early 2000's were still totally within the period of when Americans adopted the internet.

The semantics are not very meaningful; I will concede that :) My point was simply that the concept of democracy isn't necessarily an obvious one. Perhaps in early 20th-century Italy, where there was still a technically supreme monarchy, and the tradition of democratic elections itself was only a few generations old, putting trust in one man alone (Mussolini) might have seemed reasonable or even ideal.
That's the default option but you apparently can still run the elevated command in the current window if you want.
Yeah, we come from very different fields. But I'll say this:

> the probably-not-computer-literate author(s) used and miss the details hidden outside the data in the explanatory text (e.g. samples were processed by throwing away all bits we couldn't identify!) that make the time spent useless.

This is super common in my own field, and it's top-five indication that the paper is bad. If I can't understand how they manipulated the data, unless I have some specific other interest, the entire paper goes in the trash. There's no excuse.

For example, it's pretty routine in biology and medicine to see high profile papers that invent some wild/complex "statistical pseudo-control", instead of actually doing a good experiment (which is hard, and probably why the question is unpublished). These papers are basically never worth reading.

See also: not using conventional statistical tests, not including uncertainty estimates, not using standard/vanilla models before jumping to crazy stuff. Not to be too glib, but "we entered the data into SAS/Excel/R/Matlab" is like a bright, flashing warning sign that you're about to see a clown show.
Yeah, you are right. I feel a little bit more like that.

Ugh, and then you call the number and it takes you to an IVR menu where the only options are “billing” and “surgery” or other some such. I’ve had doctors call me with results and the only way I could get ahold of them was to call, pretend I had a billing issue to get to some human, then try to convince them to connect me to the person who just called me not 5 minutes ago.
Mozilla corp is not a nonprofit. Mozilla org is, but we'retalking about the ceo of the corp here.
It sure does. So we better make it so that cops behave in ways that actually make people trust them, and fast. Anecdotally, I feel that most people my age or younger already treat the law in general, and law enforcement in particular, as some kind of mostly destructive force of nature that you do your best to stay out of the way of.

It doesn't help that whenever police organize in any capacity, denying and covering up abuses always seems one of the goal. Just look at what FOP says every time there's a police shooting.

The huge problem with cops in US is the prevalence and popularity of Dave Grossman's theories about "sheep", "wolves", and "sheepdogs". Some PDs pay big sums of money to have all their officers attend a "killology" training. Look that up and judge for yourself as to what it trains them to do.

but.... why is that? if scientific papers were written well (and i'm implicating the science publishing guidelines + accepted culture of scientific writing in that, not just individual authors), shouldn't they self-contain their context to the level that they are comprehensible? note, i'm not talking about spin - that doesn't belong. but if basic comprehension of the paper requires reading secondary sources, isn't that a fundamental problem in how scientific papers are written? (i'm asking this as a person with a phd and post-doc, working as a data scientist now but i have read many many scientific papers). I'll note - older papers (1960's, 1970's, etc.), do seem to include more color and more explanation. some modern papers do too. but many are dry and kind of incomprehensible.
