If Harvard is anything like Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, it's not just that you didn't expose yourself, elite universities have their own stratification, between ones born rich who went to the most elite of private schools _before_ they went to university, where they likely _arrived_ with some connections already, and the ordinary public who got in through work and talent but can have anywhere from that level to absolutely nothing in terms of pre-existing connections and the learned social behaviours to then get them.

It _is_ illegal, and they can and do call the police.

The problem isn't that it's not illegal, it's that they still need to delete the content.

It's like saying "just call the police" to someone who's just been mugged, they still need to get to a phone and cancel all the cards. You haven't solved the mugging problem and they were probably going to anyway.

Facebook argue for paying their community moderators?

Banning age discrimination is _how_ the law is against deceptive, false, and discriminating ads.

Britain had exactly this issue a few years back with Cambridge Analytica and targeted facebook advertising (the biggest scandal was actually the extra campaign funding that was spent on it), it wasn't until the scandal was long over that the actual list of adverts was released and people found them horrifying, but the people who were against them had _never_ seem them at the actual time because it was so heavily targeted.

Targeting messages is another form of hiding them and dividing people up.

They manage the community, if you have unmoderated groups you get 4chan and similar which no-one wants to advertise on.

Also it incentivises moderating groups rather than just letting them be and doing the bare minimum.

I still don't like the idea but entirely for the reason that it adds financial incentives to demand moderators force groups to be advertiser friendly in more ways than just removing toxic content. If advertisers don't like something it will simply be neglected in comparison to the more advertising relevant ideas.

But I live 55 degrees north :o

No, because the _actual reality_ is that reducing inequality makes the rich, slightly less so, and the poor significantly safer and healthier.

If you tell people you want to reduce inequality we tend to correctly assume the intent is to make the poor better off, we're not AI searching for the most absolutely effective solution to reduce inequality to 0 by killing everyone or something.

Yeah, there's a reason we've been talking about inequality and not just pure wealth for a century.

Have you tried unperfumed products? I would assume in your situation that you've considered them, you can't make that elevator guy use them but they might help you out.

I actually find the things _around_ the languages like build tools and ansible and such by far the more confusing parts of dev work just because I never know which of them I should spend time trying to understand and if I just want a runthrough for someone who can already program I never know where to look.

That's kind of misrepresenting what the South Sea Bubble was, with meme stocks the public are at least in on the joke, the South Sea Bubble was a private conspiracy/social phenomenon of a different fashion.

I'm not him, but looking at the other markets this "democratisation of creativity" has happened in, it seems like we're going to get more of the patronage model where the professionals and better hobbyists can individually put their work up for subscribers with some free content as advertising.

I don't know how this will work with board games which have physical products that need creating and sending. It might be the right place for distributed "print shops" with card printers, 3D printers, and laser cutters to provide the actual game pieces.

You wouldn't just need to buy them, you'd also need to police and monitor them constantly, if you bought them from abroad without further intervention unscrupulous people would just move in and start working the land anyway, and if you can figure out how to police it better than they can you might just be better off developing that.

They're not law enforcement

People have clearly noticed the social and political issues with advertising for a very long time now. The issue is that it's hard to rally against one of the most lucrative businesses ever to exist that inherently has an extreme amount of messaging power to defend itself.

You two are talking different things, you originally said "modern lifestyle advice", but now you're saying "modern lifestyle", which are very different things, the "advice" agrees with you, that's what the guy was asking about it.

reduce labour but also reduce printing and paper use, yes.

> It’s also not the case in 99% of US claims.

So is it just sampling bias that we hear constant stories outside the US of everything from broken legs to cancer patients being denied coverage or being covered but having life destroying out of pocket costs? Because it really is constant.

Honestly, as one of those people who never studied or even did homework and basically got grades entirely a linear function of my interest in listening to the class without making any notes, I've thought for a while that I should just look up how organized, hard working people actually do anything, because it's predictably come back to bite me in that I now can't really teach myself anything unless it's in lecture format and provides summaries because any notes I take are useless. Also I have like zero time-management ability and I don't even know how people get it.

Depends on the country but _tentatively_ yes, America has a infamously anti-union, anti-worker history though so there's significantly more holdover of it actually happening, what most other countries don't have is services like the Pinkertons, previously a literally rifle-armed military/police force for the purposes of seeking out and often murdering union leaders and breaking up strikes by force.

What I was taught was that generally most older countries already had established police forces that wouldn't allow groups like the Pinkertons to exist by the time the union movement came along where America didn't and instead their police actually came _from_ groups like the Pinkertons.

But I'd take that with a grain of salt given that it was second hand summarized information even when I first got it.

I've never looked into it myself but when I was graduating someone in my graduating classes final project was a cheating detection system for chess that essentially ran your moves through a variety of different chess AI's like stockfish such and over the game built up a tally of matching moves for each system, and if you matched one too closely flagged you as cheating.

I asked the guy how he would cheat against it and his suggestion was basically finding chess engines with variable "skill" levels and varying it over the game, essentially pulling out miraculous recoveries or having a good start but then forcing your AI to try to select a win state a few turns later than optimal but using the same heuristics, so it's still practically unbeatable but drags people along a bit longer to disguise itself.

Also I don't know if this exists, but is it possible to tune an AI to a specific ELO to begin with? If so you could set it to gradually ramp up over a long time so it looks like you're steadily improving over months or years and get to the top, but I imagine that wouldn't appeal to the people already willing to cheat anyway.

I wanna know what that one huge file that takes up most of "Health" is.

Do you factor that into the teaching now?

Honestly? No. I find them light-hearted and fun, they sound a bit silly but they're just part of the marketing and never have to be used if you're being serious, since you can always just say "____ programmers" and no-one will call you out on it.

Ohhhhhhh, that makes total sense.

Aside from _in_ crickets experimentally, or aside from crickets as in you hear nothing?

I have a chromatic film on my actual windows because I like the effect so there's technically a market for it , especially if it makes it cheaper and smaller

Even without cable boxes, basically every TV has an input you can plug something into, even if you've got one of the extremely old ones you can get an adapter.

It doesn't help, he's saying that losing the ability to own a gun is a disincentive to seeking professional help.

Would you mind going into more detail about what you found hard about learning Rust? I'm interested in a counter perspective as someone who hasn't learned it yet and has mostly only seen positive media about it.
