> scapegoats

When you jail the literal person who committed the crime it’s not a scapegoat, it’s just a criminal.

Your suggestion doesn’t treat a company like a person it treats a company like the clothes a person is wearing. Commit a crime? Change your clothes. Company gets shutdown, assets gets sold to “company the sequel” execs are free from any criminal consequences and continue as execs at the new company.

> Physicians constantly ask pharma about and explore off label drug prescriptions.

Yes, and in other companies employees go through training when dealing these things to avoid any type of off label advertisement. It’s not “muddy” it’s like claiming lawyers think DUI is muddies waters because there is just so many things to consider. No one in their right mind in the industry would ever think that. And while the terminology is perhaps foreign to people not in the industry, everyone understands that you can’t just go out claiming that paracetamol cures cancer, no mater how good a business case you’ve made for additional sales.

> Pharma can provide the studies and answer limited questions on the topic

Sure and then get fined for off label marketing. The lines aren’t difficult to understand and they are way harsher than you seem to think. Something as behneighen as a rep liking a Facebook post covering a university article saying “paracetamol shows promise as cancer cure” is overstepping the line because the like can be interpreted as off label marketing.

You should reread. The phrasing is:

> Default settings for it include fuzzy matching and returning "relevant" results instead of only exact ones.

Which does not in any way say that it is incapable of literal search, only that it is not the default and that most go for the defaults.

This is a very disingenuous way of arguing.

If someone isn’t working then it’s obvious that they are smuggling blood diamonds out of Africa. I mean what else could they possible be doing? Please list all the alternative if you disagree.

Yes Layne Norton is completely natural. And his impressive transformation comes from having found an incredible method based on his research and working with several personal trainers. And you can be sure of that because why would he lie? He has nothing except his entire career and personal fortune on the line.

But we can be fairly sure that his transformation which looks to be a pretty center of the bell curve for people who are admittedly on steroids is in fact a far right tail case of the bell curve of people who do not take steroids, because that’s what scientists do right, assume the unlikely over the likely in cases where the prior would suggest the straight forward answer right?

> By that logic you might as well say a piece of paper

Yes, and if you read through the pieces of paper that make up the articles that described Turing copleteness you’ll realize that they don’t talk about mechanical machines but about mathematical and local systems. Moving rocks in the desert according to fixed rules can make up a Turing complete system, as can markings on paper.

Cats kill pray even if they are well fed. So humans feeding them will increase the impact on other species not decrease it.

> Not really. If you imagine a supply chain with raw materials at one end and finished products at the other, if every step along the chain is taxed even a small amount on their total revenue, the cumulative effect would completely dwarf the value of the final product.

Yes, and that’s why it’s weird that the most important resource for most big corporations is taxed like that. All the human labor gets taxed based on revenue and not profit, unlike all the other raw materials.

Binance liquidity displayed is still less than they extracted from FTX before they crashed. They took 2.5B just in payout from SBF. Binance could have literally have had 0$ in backing before this and still managed the current situation. So again, nothing that is currently public, nothing at all, would suggest that Binance is any different from the FTX scam. They could very easily do an audit if it’s not a scam, but they didn’t they hired a company who refused to do anything more than sign a document saying “using the process Binance prescribed, we saw this number which Binance told us we would see”. There are so many red flags that its difficult how anyone could not be entirely convinced that it’s just another scam.

But this is crypto so maybe they’ll keep it going for another half a decade before it implodes.

Just to put this in perspective, FTX was at the crunch time in serious negotiations to get enough liquidity to effectively hide the 8B$ hole they had.

The fact that Binance can handle this outflow which is small compared to their total holding proves nothing. Know what would prove something? An audit. But obviously that can’t do that, as it would expose them.

The only way for them not to trigger the FTX crash’s at the point they did, would have been to absorb 8 billion $ worth of missing funds and handing over control of a much larger set of funds to the people responsible for those losses.

They weren’t partly responsible for FTXs crash for looking at that balance sheet and going wtf, we’re out. Even if they themselves are running the same scam. They might just be much less under water and trying to keep their head above it, until the goldfish forget about the FTX crash.

This reads a bit like someone looking critical at the dieting advice for pre diabetics if “eat more vegetables” and coming out with the conclusion that as one would assume if you eat too many vegetables you will still end up obese and still be in the high risk group for getting diabetes.

The posting a headline of “Are vegetables actually healthy!?”

> I'm 10x more productive when I have the autonomy to bounce ideas off my team and proceed in the best way I see fit.

Why would scrum be a hindrance to that? I don’t know if any principle, artifact or event that is there to reduce team autonomy or to prevent the team from bouncing ideas of each other. And it seems scrum is intended to let the team procede whichever way they deem best.

> reasons for quitting

A professor emeritus not decisions to take up courses is nothing like quitting. You don’t need to make up excuses for deciding to not take courses, it’s pretty much the default.

Imagine that you retire from your job but tell your boss: “I know I’m retired, but Inwouldnt mind coming b once in a while just to say hey and catch up with people.” Would you then call it quitting or getting fired if suddenly you decided “actually I’ll not be stopping by next year”

> And calling it poorly-written is uncalled for, I think.

It was quite clearly phrased that the person thought it as poorly written. That’s their opinion and they are allowed to have it. Criticizing someone for sharing their opinion is what is uncalled for.

That’s cool. What terms of the service you managed to negotiate and how does the cost compare to the saved time?

This reads like someone who had a friend win the lottery and is now extremely mad that he didn’t ask for and get millions of dollars that one time when he helped him move, but “only” got 20k

If I own 3 companies. And borrow a billion from company A to buy 10% of all B-tokens from company B, and use those B-tokens to invest in company C.

It seems the books would say that company A has a valuables loan worth 1B when repaid, company 2 has a very sought after and valuable token with a market cap at 10B and 9B available with the sale of its holding. And company C has a very high order flow, making it a valuable exchange.

All the while I have net zero, but 1B in exposure on my investments, but no worries my companies are easily worth 11B

Ofcause a house of cards like that is easy to see through if someone doesn’t accidentally name the accounts really poorly…

Sure, but its still a stick they never would have had at all without vc.

A scam is a scam, it doesn’t matter if it’s a mega corp or a single person doing it.

Selling lifetime licenses and then canceling them when you realize you want to make more money is a scam.

> They most certainly are not sitting on all that money, it was used to fund the project.

Then declare bankruptcy and to their best to fulfill the obligations then restructure and continue. Basically he took out a loan he cannot repay, which is unfortunate but not unusual. What is unusual is telling the people you borrowed the money from “I realized I can’t pay you back and still have as much profit as I want, so I’m considering the debt to be absolved.”

> It’s pretty clear that Anything Goes is a more robust promoter of free expression than No Politics. It’s also clear that when a restaurant manager eavesdrops on your dinner-table conversation and then tells you to shut up because they don’t like your subject that they are abridging your free expression.

This article follows the age old and wrong pattern of defining freedom of speech as some absolute freedom based on nothing but it’s name and ignoring context and contents, then calling everything censorship. Imagine if the constitution was explicit about citizens having “freedom of popcorn”. Here made with a stupid name that has no relation to what it is defined as to highlight the distinction between name and definition. This freedom of popcorn would state that the government shall not inhibit the freedom of movement of its citizens without due process.

That would be a fairly ok freedom to establish. Essentially saying “the government cannot just put you in jail for no good reason”. Now comes the dumb part. We would then have authors like OP arguing that when their neighbor prevents them from camping in their kitchen, they are infringing on their freedom of popcorn, and are thereby effectively putting them in jail without process unless they let them camp out in their kitchen.

> What problems does it cause to make the locked down experience the default with the option for me to disable that and take control of the device after I buy it?

Thats literally what we have. What are you complaining about? For obvious reasons Apple is t going to support you if you jailbreak it, but that is absolutely reasonable of them.

> I don't buy his claims that the root problem was just "risk management". No, he just committed fraud.

He must be on some weird drugs that just has him spewing his points left and right. What people are misinterpreting is his claim that he was careless and that the accounts where poorly labeled. Those aren’t him trying to say he wasn’t a fraud,m, that’s him saying that he could have kept the fraud going if only they hadn’t been too highly leveraged.

As I recall PADI recommendations is to have a backup plan equivalent to the primary plan. Which often is easiest with redundant devices and each buddy having the same or similar computer.

I think it’s very much not recommended to have going computerless as a backup. And the idea that you are safe to do so because your “within no-deco limits” is potentially dangerous, as your relying on the computer to tell you if you are still within that limit.

Many people go quite close to the limit. Personally I stay far away from them, but safety recommendations are the same for everyone.

That’s standard diving practice. You have a backup regulator and a backup dice computer. And in the event of both primært and secondsry familier you have a plan for how to handle it.

But both the backup regulator and dice computer is on your companion. You don’t dive with two yourself.

Crashing would be the least of the worries in my opinion. If it crashes, you as a diver know what to do and it’s no different from any other dive computer breaking.

My major worry would be bad sensor readings or software errors leading it to provide bad instructions on how fast you can surface, or how long you need to do decompression stops. Depending on the dive, it’s a situation where differences in the displayed numbers mean the difference between a great day and serious injury.

I really hope; but also expect that this is thoroughly tested.

It’s not misleading, this is Apple releasing the news and it has obviously been developed in collaboration with Apple.

The term “Dive computer” is not something to be taken lightly. It’s hardware you literally depend on to keep you alive during a dive. The fact that Apple is supporting this externally developed app says they have a very higher level of trust in their hardware.

Typically a dive computer would cost more than an Apple Watch and be a single purpose device. The fact that Apple is entering the arena is quite a disruption as other brands will be forced to either compete on price or really raise the bar on innovation to justify their current levels.

I have never seen a blue whale yet I know they exist because others have seen them.

You obviously haven’t looked through code bases in other languages if you never seen these issues outside of python. Personally I have observed them in C, C++, Java, Haskell, R, Python, PHP, JavaScript , Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, Rust, heck even in lab view. And the same type of problems even translate to poorly developed excel sheets.

The only plausible explanation for you never having seen any such issues outside of python is that you have never looked.

I dont know Pinker, but I think he might be pulling the readers leg there. Either that or he just doesn’t know the subject he’s commenting on. Flowers by Picasso: https://images.app.goo.gl/U6gZiidQfQpcbFjSA and a field by Rembrandt: https://images.app.goo.gl/qXEpg3urfPokFzQj6
