> Sadly, life doesn't always work that way. It certainly doesn't do so reliably and scalably, or at least we haven't figured out how to make it so.

I don't disagree that we're stuck with the cultural schisms we have, at least in the near term. But that doesn't mean we must continue to make things worse through mass immigration. We could do what we did in the 1920s, dramatically curtail immigration, and work on assimilating all the people we already have.

> Depends on what you're optimizing for. The international order supported by Pax Americana isn't perfect, but it beats anything the world has seen since Pax Britannia — and again, America and its allies are working on improving it.

Sure. But it seems self-evident that American policy should be optimizing for the well-being of Americans, not those of other people in other countries.

> Oh, the irony of a scion of a successful immigrant family saying (in effect): OK, we got here and made good, so it's time to shut the gates ....

It's not ironic--I also think the government should raise my taxes for the good of the rest of the country. I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to grow up in Virginia in the 1990s. But I can also see that the place I grew up no longer exists because of the very immigration wave of which my family was a part.

Moreover, as a foreigner, I'm better positioned to understand how immigrants bring with them deep-seated cultural attitudes even when they assimilate at a superficial level.
You would think about a lot of the things that they do, "how hard can it be?". Take a look at the simplified example statechart here (scroll down) for a power window control and ponder all the ways an embedded programmer could struggle to get the behavior right in plain procedural C code as well as how difficult it would be to get a typical team to document their design intent.

Where statechart design is appropriate, it is a very powerful tool.
No, we had the ZIRP era for too long and there’s still too much stupid money in the economy. Let it burn itself out and let the economy reorient towards more efficiency which is what high interest rates force your economy to be.

Trying to call for rate reductions now would be so poorly planned I hope you never get anywhere near the federal reserves power structures.

>I see more liberals pushing for restrictions of Rights and freedoms than I do religious conservatives

This doesn't appear to be true. This is a bipartisan bill, same as KOSA (which most liberals also do not want).

For most topics that upset liberals (e.g. racists on Twitter), they're not asking for laws, they're asking for private companies to ban them.

Meanwhile, religious conservatives are actually banning books from libraries, and getting teachers fired.
A good question. I could think of at least one valid use for a deepfake: Imagine a deceased father, and his daughter is getting married. You could deepfake a father-daughter dance at the reception (with the daughter's permission).

But that's one use, and I can think of very few other legitimate uses, and many, many, many uses that I think are illegitimate.

A cynical view would be that they'll get around to legislation that covers other deepfakes once too many politicians get their reputations ruined by deepfakes of them doing things that they didn't do (or did but nobody has real video to prove it).
Given that, would you argue that the main condition needed for UBI, or wealth transfer in general, is increased productivity?
It seems she only addressed the issue as it impacted her, by amending the violence against women act and targeting it at corn.

More general deepfakes are still a big issue in politics and business, as well as other areas I'm sure.

I get this would be a personal issue to her, after AI images of her made the rounds, but I would have hoped congress would address this more broadly, as it still impacts them all when it comes to election misinformation. Maybe they figure if they ban it they can't take advantage of it when it works in their favor?
When I was a student in Crete, the nearby CSD was a gorgeous example of doing both competently. They had rigorous theory courses (like mandatory DS, Algos, logic, compilers etc) as well as hardcore applied stuff.

Side-knowledge like source control, Unix systems and utilities, editors/IDEs were supposed to be picked by students themselves with the help of lab TAs, because assignments were to be delivered over ssh through specific channels etc. Sometimes, the quirky teacher would not give precise instructions for certain projects, but tell the students to find the documentation in the departmental network directories for the class and decrypt them with their ID numbers. So the students would go on to crawl the unix and windows nodes for the relevant info.

A "good" (7.5+/10) graduate from the CSD of the University of Crete could do rigorous algorithmic analysis, hack system stuff in C and time in Verilog. OOP was hot at the time, so it also meant students were expected to produce significant amounts of code in Java and C++. Specializations abounded: networks and OSs, theory, arithmetic and analysis, hardware (including VLSI etc. at the undergraduate level, with labs). I won't even go into the graduate stuff.

And although this curriculum was quite demanding and onerous (the number of projects in each class was quite crazy), it was just something students dealt with. Heck, this was not even the most famous CS school in Greece: the elite hackers mostly went to the National Technical University of Athens.

I am not sure what the situation is now, but at least at the time, graduates were ready both for academic and serious industry careers. It is a 4 year curriculum, though many if not most students went on for 5 or 6 years. Of course, free.

Looks like harms includes everything associated with living, is the article even correct ?

To me this looks like it will eliminate all advertising and everything else people could buy.

> Spoiler: the US has one of the worst (by any metric you care to track) healthcare systems of any industrialized nation.

That "by any metric" is just plain wrong. There's several metrics by which the US healthcare system is among the best--in general, if the metric you are tracking is largely covering the success rates of medical procedures (sibling comment mentions 5-year cancer survival rates, for example), then the US generally scores high. If the metric you are tracking is instead covering general population health or things easily caught with preventative medicine, then the US scores abysmally in those metrics.

In other words, the US healthcare system actually turns out to be very good (if perhaps not on a per-cost metric)... but access to the good healthcare system is extremely poor. And that's kind of what you'd expect for a market-driven system: good healthcare if you can afford it, shit healthcare if you can't.

I am a software engineer and have friends at Google and others in Zurich or Silicon Valley. I know I'm not at their level, but I find myself at a large consulting firm that I hate every moment of. The only offer I've received is from another consulting firm, much smaller, with about 50 people. When I started university and put in all the effort over these years, I expected to be in a high-quality place. Instead, I now find myself deciding between an unknown company and a famous one that is toxic to the core, while many of my colleagues are at the top of the world. Have you ever dealt with these emotions? How do you manage them?

The History of TSR (2008)

> it could minify the properties declared as private, while leaving the public ones intact.

I don't think it ever actually did this. It renamed all properties (you could use the index syntax to avoid this) and just used a global mapping to ensure that every source property name was consistently renamed (no matter what type it was on). I don't think type information was ever actually used in minification.

So if you had two independent types that had a `getName` function the compiler would always give them the same minified name even though in theory their names could be different because they were fully independent types. The mapping was always bijective. This is suboptimal because short names like `a` could only be used for a single source name, leading to higher entropy names overall. Additionally names from the JS runtime were globally excluded from renaming. So any `.length` property would never be renamed in case it was `[].length`.
> The whole point of big-O notation is to abstract the algorithm out of real-world limitations so we can talk about arbitrarily large input.

Except that there is no such thing as "arbitrarily large storage", as my link in the parent comment explained: https://hbfs.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/to-boil-the-oceans/

So why would you want to talk about arbitrarily large input (where the input is an array that is stored in memory)?

As I understood, this big-O notation is intended to have some real-world usefulness, is it not? Care to elaborate what that usefulness is, exactly? Or is it just a purely fictional notion in the realm of ideas with no real-world application?

And if so, why bother studying it at all, except as a mathematical curiosity written in some mathematical pseudo-code rather than a programming or engineering challenge written in a real-world programming language?

Edit: s/pretending/intended/
Everytime a standardization happens, part of human creativity gets suppressed. Before ASCII, people were inventing all sorts of symbols and even the alphabet was flexible to changes. After ASCII, we got stuck with a certain set of letters and symbols. Heck, even our keyboards haven't changed that much since then. I really think we need more symbols than just &@$#%^*}{][<>()/\_~|
Exactly. Sick of people applying the catch-phrase "socialism" to everything to marginalize a method of community good.
These movements never stop there. "Think of the children!" is always a cover to eliminate freedom of expression entirely.
Paradox dog meme: MOAR JOBS

NO EMPLOYEES

ONLY JOBS
Reduce how often something runs and the amount of work it does when it does run. Sometimes, things are done too often, or process unnecessary data.

I once had a project where a SAP system was crawling and literally causing company-wide stoppages. We found a job that literally ran every minute of every day and it processed a table that contained a few thousand tasks. This was something that could be done once per hour, and only during business hours. Furthermore, it was re-processing thousands of records each time it ran. In reality, after a record was processed once, it could be deleted from the table.

We emptied out the table, and scheduled the job to run hourly. The whole company noticed an immediate improvement.

This pattern happens a lot. Someone builds a polling system that hits the server once a second in order to see if a task finished. A cron job runs every 5 minutes. All data is processed in a daily job, instead of doing a 24 hour cutoff.

The world is filled with computers doing useless work. Mostly, no one notices.
My reading is they don't even need to verify age. The bill refers to users the platform "knows or reasonably should know is a minor" all over the place, and has a bit about a feasibility study for age verification (which can, of course, be done in a privacy preserving way). Unless I missed a particular sentence that didn't include that language, it seems that it's more that if the user tells you their age, or if you are a giant advertising company that stalks everyone in the world to build profiles on them and you determine through your nefarious activities that someone is a child, then you need to take that into account.

If you don't collect information on your users, then you don't know they are minors. The main sticking point is probably (some) games and child focused spaces where perhaps you should reasonably assume they are.

Basically, they need rules that even the likes of 4chan have enforced for decades: mention being underage, or being in high school, etc.? Banned (or in these cases, set to child mode).
Not calling it LISP would help. And though you get used to it and even kind of appreciate it sometimes, the default behavior of most Common Lisp implementations to SHOUT its symbols at you is rather unfortunate.

Go back to 2005 and look at how 'easy' Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, C++, and Java were. Look at them today. Why has their popularity hierarchy not remained the same? How about vs. Lisp then and now (or even Clojure later)? You'll find answers that explain Lisp's current popularity (which isn't all that bad) better than anything to do with initial or eventual easiness.

Log, but keep it in a buffer. On an unhandled exception or crash, emit all logs relating to the exception (such as per request/rpc).
It used to be that Reddit didn't host images and you'd have to link (often shitty) external image hosts. The someone created imgur to host images for reddit. And slowly but surely imgur became just another shitty image host (and social media site for some reason). Then reddit wanted some of the dough imgur was pulling in (probably just making losses) and added their own image hosting. At first it worked just like you are saying with you getting direct links to the image file. Now they also turned into yet another shitty image host.

Part of the blame for the redirect-to-wrapper page lies with browsers. If browsers didn't let servers reliably differentiated between a direct request and an <img> embed then this practice would not be as widespread.

> With the button, you selected the EXACT item with a single button. With Alexa, you have to explain what you want, don't necessarily know the price, seller, etc.

Hm, but wasn't the price of items ordered through the Dash buttons subject to change, too? Like last week when you set everything up it was $5 per item, but sellers changed and now its $15? Sounds risky to me without checking the order confirmation mails...
Not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Take the K&R C book. It describes the language itself only - not the standard library. The Kotlin docs describe the language _plus_ parts of the Kotlin standard library which is why it appears to have lots of features. You'd have to read through half the standard C library documentation & pthreads docs in addition to K&R C to get the equivalent experience.

Can you recommend some of the better examples of the system these days?

I've played some Monster of the Week and read up on Dungeon World. I've played D&D regularly since 2008. I like the idea of the PBTA system but I've had a hard time justifying leading people into PBTA games since D&D seems to have such a larger ecosystem.

I'd like to take another stab at PBTA games, hoping that looking through a system or two that you thin is a good example of the system might inspire me to pick up a game!
There does not appear to be a "naughty" provision only an "intimate" one. What qualifies as "intimate"? Seems dangerously broad.

The act's text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/369...

It modifies US Code section 6851: Civil action relating to disclosure of intimate images http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:15%20section:6...

The existing law allows a person with standing to bring a civil action against distributors of commercial pornography. This act amends that to not just include the commercial pornographer having actual pictures/video of the person, but also if they generate realistic pictures/video of the person.

Hitler and Braun are both dead, so they lack standing.

Falwell's case did not include an "intimate visual depiction" so he also couldn't bring a civil action under this section of the code. The requirement of "intimitate visual depiction" would also let you away with Katy Perry's fruit consumption, and provided there are no genitals, anuses, sexual fluids, etc. you could depict Jackman and McGinley... you could also be safe and render it as a cartoon, as the depiction has to be "indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction of the individual"

I never said debunked(?)

It is untestable, sure, but some of the main arguments in the proposed theory are based on untruths, and none of the evidence that we would expect to have found to support it being widespread has been found yet. We have found plenty of evidence pointing to humans using other hunting strategies, so it seems odd that there is no evidence pointing to persistence hunting and that the strategy that we evolved so many traits for would have died out in all but one or two remaining primitive cultures.

Simply put, a group of humans gambling 10s of thousands of calories each in order to possibly capture a single large animal miles away from the rest of the tribe is an absolutely horrendous survival strategy.
My experience is that it seems like a cycle. People get frustrated with centralised systems and move towards more decentralised ones, and then centralised ones get better at UI/UX design and take traffic from the decentralised ones later. I mean, we saw lots of walled garden services lose to the internet as a whole, only to see internet forums and chat rooms lose out to services like Reddit and Discord.

I wouldn't be surprised if people were getting more and more fed up with existing social media sites and online services, and looking into alternative technologies at this point.

Only partially true. Unions themselves aren't structured for investing, but unions have some of the largest pension funds and the managers of those pensions are some of the largest institutional allocators in the world.
