I am with you but unfortunately the sense of "hacker" here is closer to what it is in "hackaton".

A "hackaton" is an event where ivy league students compete to write sloppy code using APIs from different corporations. They also get branded t-shirts and free redbull (paid by said corporations).
All of the same sorts of people are willing and able today (myself included) to host our own content on quirky little sites. But the difference is that before, we were it - there was nobody else hosting anything much. There wasn't anything else.

Now everybody, and every company is online. We're simply drowned in an overwhelming sea of mundane banality. And, frankly - normal, ordinary, every-body stuff. Reading the news. Doing some banking.

It's not that we're not here - it's just that everybody else is here too. The internet is now the place that nobody goes to because it's too crowded.
> Anti-Semitism appears to be rampant throughout Google’s workforce.

If someone would have told me 5 years ago that in just a few years, Google employees would be accused of anti-semitism, or any -ism, really, I would have never believed it. They were on the frontlines "punching nazis" and fighting rising fascism here in US, and here they are, being accused of anti-semitism, themselves.
It might have changed in the last 10 years, and it might be different in the USA, but in 2010 when I put on a large theatre production and had to use Ticketmaster, there was no way a ‘kickback’ was part of the equation.

Exactly the opposite, in fact. Did you know that Ticketmaster has two fees? One is the ‘outside’ fee that you, the punter, sees. So you think I’m getting $100 and you’re giving Ticketmaster another $10.

In fact there’s also an ‘inside’ fee that Ticketmaster charges me. So of that $100, they also take $10 from me.

Of course for this you get all sorts of services, right? Tools to manage seating, allocations, reservations, price varieties, and so on? Nope. Not a goddamned thing.

I despised having to work with them.
If laws were the only truth there would be no justice in this world, as proven multiple times in history.
All sources have at least a small element of truth to them... it's better to get as many sides as you can and come up with your own conclusion, rather than completely block off certain opinions.
> The difference between a society with an average IQ of 100 and a society with an average IQ of 70 is one of intelligence.

Strong claim, hard no.

In 20th century scientific records that's about the difference between pre WW German country schools and the same regions in the later part of WWII under siege and under supplied.

That large difference has been attributed to nutrition rather than intelligence given the same genes, the same schools, the same society, etc.

> True, intelligence is not simple.

At yet there you are, mere sentences later, over simplying it and ignoring significant confounding factors. Deliberate malfeasance, oblivious blind ignorance, ... ?
I don't know about your city, but Live Nation has been eating those up around here. I go to these kinds of venues exclusively, and over the last decade have gone from zero shows sold through Ticketmaster to maybe 50/50. At least the bar shows are safe, but those economics are obviously not fine.
Yes, thankyou. I had no idea about any of that - I thought “democrat” was just a shortening of “democratic (party)”. And I’m Australian, so I both miss many of the nuances of US politics, and I’m culturally required to use shortened forms of everything.
Julia as a universal platform for statistical software development
Generally so, but the gap is closing (like Apple is showing).
Some thoughts I've had for years:

A. My understanding is an underage teen who takes a nude selfie and sends it can be charged with distributing "child porn." This is a serious problem and should not be true. If other people forward it, they should be charged, but a teenager should not get in legal trouble for making a nude selfie and sending it privately.

B. We need to culturally get over a lot of our hangups about certain things. His girlfriend was attending church. The church should be telling kids "This is not worth killing yourself over."

C. We somehow need to come up with reasonable accommodation for the reality that teens have phones and budding sexualities and these two things are colliding horrifically in a legal and cultural system strongly rooted in assuming "child porn" is made solely by abusive adults and not willingly by underage teens who don't think it's a big deal at the time the photo is snapped.

Taking a nude selfie should be safer than baring your body in person. No risk of STDs or pregnancy are involved. And yet we've turned it into this hugely dangerous thing for anyone who hasn't spent years thinking about sexual morality who isn't prepared to say to law enforcement and the world "Nudes of me? Big fucking deal."

No idea how to further any of those things, but this is hardly the first article I've read about teen selfies being involved in extreme levels of harsh consequences that I just think morally should not happen and I think have roots in cultural and legal stuff going bad places in part because we aren't keeping up with the times.
I think as another person pointed out

I don't mind so much if I can pay for improved latency, but if the standard service provided is purposefully degraded to justify it then that's when it's iffy

There would also need to be some serious data to support an actual benefit compared to the standard latency
worth noting the controversy at The Verge is the opposite with people saying a 4/10 rating is far too generous
>We cannot tell all people below certain IQ to just stop using the internet

Not directly, but we can ban children from the internet (or at least force them into read-only mode) via some legally enforced anonymized federal ID system.

I'd accept the privacy risks associated with that in order to fix the internet.
Do you not have any memories from <3?

This is obviously false. I have memories from when I was 2 that my parents also remember.
Why did Tim Berners-Lee bother to create HTTP?
As the article explains, this is precisely why the social expectations around Python package versioning are very different from JS package version (i.e. you can't just break things willy nilly even in major releases and cite semver as justification).

That aside, note the obvious problems here for any language that uses nominal typing - like, say, Python. Since types from dependencies can often surface in one's public API, having a tree of dependencies means that many libraries will end up referring to different (and thus ipso facto incompatible) versions of the same type.
I guess I just completely, 100% disagree. Context matters. People comment on military tactics and strategies all the time, completely devoid of the ultimate goals of the combatants. I'm here thinking how someone couldn't be in complete awe of the story told in this Wikipedia page.
poor don't accumulate capital. why do you think that? the majority of human population lives hand to mouth their entire lives.

>then capital will be funneled into real estate as soon as possible. See real estate markets in Ireland, Canada, UK which have high both capital gains and dividend taxes. The rich will trivially evade these two taxes anyway.

i dont get this. i am saying increase taxes on capital gains, that includes gains made from sale of real estate. let people hoard as much cash in a house, when they have to "sell", that is when capital gains get triggered on the profit. higher profit means higher taxes.

what problem are you talking about these countries?

also, how can rich evade divident and capital gains? i genuinely want to know
When I was a little kid, my toddler sister fell into a pool I was in, and this was her exact reaction, she just froze up. A lot of family was nearby and one of my uncles scooped her out, but the freezing up is such a surprising response, and apparently not uncommon.
On the one hand, I agree with you. On the other hand, the false positives (and the fallout from it) might outweigh the negatives: imagine a volunteer doctor who disappears in West Africa due to being kidnapped/robbed etc and someone local tries to contact the family back home, but all the messages end up getting blocked.
Oof. The DoD proper (as in the OSD and OUSDs) is a sprawling bureaucracy. And frankly it sure would be nice to be as well-funded as they are.
> A static language would be far less ergonomic to use for the typical prototyping and explorative programming done in Python.

A static language without type inference, sure. But that's not the only option.

OCaml, for example, will infer object types for you based on what methods are called with what kinds of arguments inside the body.
Aside from anything else, very cold water reduces the use of oxygen by your body and brain, and makes it possible to survive much longer than otherwise. I think there was a story in Gawande’s Checklist Manifesto about this property being used in an operating theatre to rescue a girl from a car accident in a Swiss lake.
What if it's not your employer? If you buy a pizza for $25 and get another one free, is that also $25 income that is only exempt due to de minimis?
Perhaps true, but I would feel much more confident in my ability to spot a drowning child if I'd seen it with my own eyes, and "child drowning videos" is a very risky google. Tossing a kid in with no warning probably isn't the way, but "learn from the millions of times it has happened to other children" is not as straightforward a process as you make it sound.
Do you have an issue with the fact that he didn't put "AI Pin" in the title or that he called it the worst product he has reviewed? Because the "outrage" is very clearly about the latter.

Heck if anything not putting the company and product name in the title actually helps them in this case.
Okay sure. I’ll grant you that calling Clint Eastwood “virtue signaling” is misguided. But you were criticizing the use of the term in general, including for calling out ineffective actions that accomplish nothing substantive but make a brand look good. So you just moved the goalposts, if that matters to you.
That the rich digerati have taken up the cause of the ongoing Palestinian man-made famine and genocide diverges from actions of similar demographics in the past. The genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia received little notice in the global press and received little global action. This is positive progress. Even if the effect of an individual protest causes no direct change, it is important voices are heard and directed toward the political class and the owners of capital who buy influence over the political class. Unfortunately though, far-right Christian fundamentalists hold too much clout in America for mystical theological reasons and will never chide Israel for any behavior, no matter how abhorrent.
It wasn’t clickbait. The video begins and ends talking about how it’s completely bad.
That is a lie. Here are the explicit findings:

> 72. In these circumstances, the Court considers that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in
the Gaza Strip is at serious risk of deteriorating further before the Court renders its final judgment.

> 73. The Court recalls Israel’s statement that it has taken certain steps to address and alleviate
the conditions faced by the population in the Gaza Strip. The Court further notes that the Attorney
General of Israel recently stated that a call for intentional harm to civilians may amount to a criminal
offence, including that of incitement, and that several such cases are being examined by Israeli law
enforcement authorities. While steps such as these are to be encouraged, they are insufficient to
remove the risk that irreparable prejudice will be caused before the Court issues its final decision in
the case.

> 74. In light of the considerations set out above, the Court considers that there is urgency, in
the sense that there is a real and imminent risk that irreparable prejudice will be caused to the rights
found by the Court to be plausible, before it gives its final decision.

Basically, based on the facts on the harm coming to civilians in Gaza, and on reports of genocidal rhetoric being used in Israel and investigated by Israeli authorities, they find that there is a real and urgent risk that the citizens of Gaza will be subject to genocide.

This is not in any way based on the simple existence of an abstract right to be protected from genocide. It is about finding that there is a real, urgent, risk of genocide happening before the ICJ can issue a final decision.

The tweet in question I'm guessing you're referring to is this:

> I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers.

> Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness.

> First, do no harm.

It's pretty clear they're not referring to JUST the headline/title of the YT video.
Why? The at law seems to talk about how performance software improvements isn’t relevant while this article talks about how there improvements to Postgres has been significant.

Is it because you view the 15% to be a low number? Because it really, really, isn’t in the context. It’s certainly smaller than the 60% from your linked law especially if you do the whole 15/10 thing, but you really shouldn’t compare Postgres’s performance to hardware increases because they aren’t the same. You would need absolutely massive amounts of hardware improvements to compare to even 1% performance on what is being measured here.

I don’t think the law is as silly as other posters here, but it’s talking about programming language compile times. I wouldn’t compare something as unimportant as that to what is arguably one of the most important things in computer science… considering how much data storage and consumption means to our world.
While a different caliber of a device, it does remind me of Apple Vision Pro, which is also carving out a new device category. In its case many reviewers were more receptive to the potential it promises, rather than just a set of provided features.

I don’t think the pin is a good product to buy right now. At the same time I believe that in 5 years that style of UI will be more prevalent than whatever AVP tries to push.
I can see both sides:
Yes, Google offices are private property.
Yes, Google is an American company - if Google's employees don't agree with an American company serving America and its allies - Israel has been an ally for a long time - then, they should leave for more agreeable pastures. They can even remove Google from their resume once they've found a better resume brand.

However, If I were an employee at Google, and my company had begun serving DoD / IDF against my wishes - then, I would have a better chance of changing this from inside the company than from outside. So, speaking out internally against taking on undesirable customers seems like a more effective tactic than quitting.

But, by protesting in the way they did, they've likely ensured that they will no longer be inside the company.
It finds the most trivial mistake. It isn’t infinitely better because static typing is far from free.
To be clear, where is your society at and are you guys taking people from mine? Lol, because people getting the utter shit beat out of them by the police irrationally and with zero consequences is remarkably common here in America.

I have managed to avoid it, but I know more than a few people who’ve been roughed up in bad faith…
> Production releases are expected to begin in the summer.

Well, that's pretty lousy wording.

Our planet has two completely opposite meanings of when exactly that is. For some of us, it's Dec → Feb. For others, it's definitely not.

Kind of surprised a "global map" company doesn't seem to have picked up on that yet. ;)
And charged multiple times through each day.
> Are they supposed to monitor the content of the chats? Some would call that eavesdropping.

I rather assumed they already did monitor chat, in order to target adverts, A/B test, handle abuse reports, filter spam, etc.

Even if FB says it has "end to end encryption", I can't fully believe them due to the political pressure under the banner "terrorism/kids get hurt" is immense regardless of us here regarding that as thought terminating cliché from the intelligence agencies.
No. And you’re apparently not someone who knows about this topic, but you are claiming to be.
No.. that's what a stupid and illegal protest looks like. You can peacefully protest in public as much as you want, it's your right under the first amendment. This does not extend into private property. If you don't have permission from the property owner, that's no longer a protest, that's trespassing. One could argue that the whole thing is a meta-protest (along with the arrest and the media coverage) which would be more or less correct, but that's not what you're arguing.

See https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights

Anyway, if the protestors actually believe they changed minds with this, I will forever be disappointed by Google's hiring practices.
I wonder what it would take to insert the equivalent of a “thermal vent” into the ”all-encompassing cloud solution” for the Israeli government. Maybe give the Israeli government private cloud the “us-east1” treatment during critical Israeli milops.

Losing a $1.2B contract for Amazon or Google due to subterfuge is nothing.

Wonder how the US government would respond though, especially since Israeli government is one of their most highly regarded allies (highest amount of foreign aide, critical trade partners). Would the people who inserted exploit into Project Nimbus be prosecuted for espionage?
Look over to Europe. Even the majority wins, still the rights of minorities are protected. It doesn't mean it's will is protected.
One example:

Roma people: Everyone hates them, but still they can exercise their rights.

Birth abortion: there are a lot of people who try to do it but are hindered by aggression. To protect their rights is the democratic states exercise.

And so on. I don't think Europe has less contention between different groups, nor less diversity. You're right, that the diversity will get less in harmonic societies, but in my eyes because each member of the society takes up the thinking and learnings of the society because it's good, not because the society forces him to.

There's is s difference between majorities will and minorities rights. Rights are the same of each of the members :)
We have different views of what clickbait is. Clickbait, in my view, is writing checks that your content can’t cash. MKBHD didn’t do that. He plainly said this was the worst product and then calmly explained why it was the worst product. The content completely fulfilled the promise of the title. No hyperbole, no exaggeration, just an honest review based on his weeks worth of use.

He clearly says in the review that it’s the worst product he’s reviewed. So what other possible title could he have chosen?

If your objection is that it’s an interesting title that many people will click on … there’s nothing wrong with that. This is a guy with 15 years experience reviewing products, of course I want to know what he thinks is the worst. That isn’t clickbait though!
To be clear, I have no issue with anything here, except that someone would think a title like "The worst product I've ever reviewed" is not clickbait.

Clickbait does not mean bad. It does not mean I don't like it. It doesn't mean evil. It means it is bait designed to make you click.

And clearly, if you look around you, it's working.

I need a function which, given a graph, returns the graph diameter as an integer.

I need another function which, given a graph, uses a faster but approximate method to return the graph diameter as an integer.

I need a third function which, given a graph, returns the graph radius as an integer.

All three of these functions have an identical type signature.

Oh, now I need something which takes a regex pattern string and a haystack string, and returns 1 if the pattern is found in the haystack, otherwise 0.

And the regex "|" pattern must match longest first, not left-right.

And it needs to support "verbose" mode, which allows comments.

And it supports backreference matches.

How do you express that type?

Now I need to numerically integrate some arbitrary function "f" in the range 0.0 to 1.0. Which of the many numeric integration methods should I use which prevents runtime issues like being unable to converge?

It is because the CIA is not using AI to create strike target lists.
The USA supports the creation of two countries in that area: Israel, with its current borders minus the colonies it has illegally established in the West Bank, and Palestine, which would include the Gaza strip and the West Bank (in its full 1947 territory, minus the illegal Israeli colonies).

The country of Palestine would then stretch from the river (in the West Bank) to the sea (in Gaza).

Of course, it is also sometimes used to call for the dissolution of the state of Israel. Even that is not per se antisemitic (not that I suport this - Israel has won it's right to exist). There are just as many Jewish people living outside of Israel as inside.

I can think of 2 reasons:

* Managing a large economy is more expensive than a small one: for example creating legislation and managing a justice system for 100 companies is cheaper than doing the same for 10000 companies.

* Tax revenue is typically more or less fixed percentage of GDP.

The first point is something you can't really avoid without impairing the government. The second one you probably could with political decisions.
The cultural erasure of Europe is incredibly painful and sad.
