I wonder what they mean by "changing the rules". Are they talking about another Executive Order? How would they just "change the rules" without violating some law?

My fear is this will be done through CISA, as I expected it would be. That would give them the excuse to say it's legal.
This reminds me of my Calc professor. When I asked about applying a theory. I asked, "So, when applying this, these values would indicate the expression is true?" He said, we don't concern ourselves with truth in Mathematics.
I run the analytics department at Daily Burn and we were joking today about making shirts with this slogan on it.

Unbiased insight is hard enough to get in a business setting. There is a latent tendency to prove one's preconceptions. Add divisive political tactics that actively try to destroy open mindedness (which are employed by both sides of the political spectrum) and the problem is exacerbated.

Do you mean something like the office of the inspector general [1], or an actual law enforcement agency focusing on federal agencies? If the latter, you're in danger of proposing an infinitely recursive solution.

More than that, some scientists think that it was the partnership with dogs that gave us the advantage over neanderthals. Without dogs, homo sapiens might not have been the human species that won.

I've seen pretty good arguments that unlike with all other domesticated animals, with dogs we and the animal domesticated each other and since then have co-evolved. For instance, some attribute our terrible sense of smell (compared to other primates) to our relationship with dogs. With dogs as hunting partners, we didn't need great smell. So we developed more toward contributing smarts and sight to the human/dog hunting team.
SMTP must maintain a transient state throughout the connection and respond to interactive requests...

HTTP-POST can handle the request chain inline, and deliver a single response, the decision tree is much lighter.

For that matter, HTTP-POST can partially to completely defer all processing decision trees, always returning 200 OK, offloading to a queue system that will process the request out of band, and issue the real response errors via a dashboard. Making it lighter still.
I'm sorry to say this, but your second post also doesn't really address the issue and continues to misunderstand the purpose and definitions of Kolgomorov complexity.

The fact that for any specific string S you can find a language L such that the Kolgomorov complexity K(L, S) is 0, is not that interesting.

1. For any specific L, you can only play this trick (hardcoding a target string) for a finite number of strings. That means for essentially all strings (all but a small finite number) the trick is irrelevant.

2. There is no free lunch: The trick you use to bring down the Kolgomorov complexity K(L, S) down to 0 increases the complexity of L. This can be taken into account, see "conditional Kolgomorov complexity".

The book "An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications" by Li and Vitányi explains this, and much more in great detail, and is highly recommended.
No one is forcing you to work on the project. If you think this is how CoC works, then stop working on projects that add them. The rest of us will work on whatever projects we want and hopefully every piece of crap will decide they don't want to work on any of the projects because they're offended by CoCs.

Κρίσιμα ματς για την Πεντάδα
The OP has fallen into the common trap of applying the Christian concept of sin to the Islamic context. Christianity is generally a binary system of sins. Things are forbidden or they are not. Islamic is full of more subtle interpretations. Things are good and bad, some worse or better than others. This allows for contradictions, such as an Islamic wine jug. I chalk this up to how the hadith were compiled.

This medieval jug can also no more tell us about "Islam" than a pot from 13th century Ireland can tell us about Lutheranism . At best they are tiny snapshots within an epic history.

Linux behaviour is clearly a derived work. If you need to muck around
with core code, you're derived, no question about it.

In 100+ places, the zfsonlinux/zfs.git master branch has to change its compile-time behavior depending on the details of the kernel it is being compiled for. i.e., out of 100+ yes-no questions, you only get a working zfs.ko if you answer each one in the same way the kernel does. To me, this indicates a strong likelyhood that zfs is way towards the "muck[s] around with core code" end of the spectrum.

(The 100+ places I cite are actually a count of 121 uses of the macro ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE while configuring zfs at zfs-0.6.5-166-gd2f3e29; each one presumably corresponds to one or more #ifdef sites in the actual source code of zfs, each one adapting to a change in the internal details of Linux from 2.6.x to the present day)

What San Francisco needs is a free, high quality, in-patient psychiatric hospital.

No, I am not talking about a stereotypical 1960s Nurse Ratchett type dungeon psych ward. I am talking about a modern and caring facility where homeless people with severe mental problems and drug/alcohol addiction can check in and get help. If they need it, they should be able to live there on a long-term basis.

It says the city of San Francisco spends $242 million a year on homeless services. That'd build and operate a very nice psych hospital.
Okay motivator, I get what you're saying and if the entirety of the operators community is all we needed for every situation and conflict we got going on in this world then so be it.

But there's still plenty of work for everyone else. Turning a 17 year old high school dropout into a team player with good attitude and good work ethic and good mind set is what this thread deviated to.
That's what I thought too. My guess would be Bend Sinister.
How do you determine which video is the "original" version? That is, how do you tell which uploader owns the content? There isn't really a way to know until the content owner makes a compliant (anyone can file a DMCA takedown, not just big media companies).
> IMO, a workable happy medium is the giving the ability to expand the error message to get the dirty operational details, an error code, or similar. That way, the support tech, power user, engineer, etc, dealing with "Why is the Internet broken?", can have some data to help him figure out how to unbreak the Internet today.

Or write it to a user-accessible log file.

Opaque error messages that fail to accurately describe the problem out of a misguided desire to coddle users drive me bonkers.

She ran on "being a woman" that was her only credential that year. She's a self serving a-hole who has done absolutely nothing to help this state out.

As mayor, she had a canceal/carry permit when she backed laws refusing them to many.

At least Boxer has stated what she stands for and stood by that.

The study of IQ (and the underlying g) is one of two or three (definitely less than 6) crown jewels of psychology. You should probably read the actual science, "we" know quite a bit about intelligence. (I can help get you started if you're really interested, but I suspect you aren't.)

According to the article, the City of San Francisco spends $242 million annually to do just that, and the City of New York spends over $1 billion to do just that.

It's not that nobody wants to. Apparently the ways they are trying to take care of them now are not particularly effective.
That's great. Maybe a 20 year period of secular stagnation will do that for the US.

You can't simultaneously be concerned about the robots taking our jobs and a high ratio of retirees to workers.

The article conflates ContentID (which is not the DMCA notice/counternotice process) with the DMCA process. ContentID, AFAICT, doesn't follow the DMCA rules, and doesn't provide either side of the DMCA safe harbor -- OTOH, since its more favorable to the participants (who are the copyright holders most likely to file costly suits) it is just as good for the infringement liability side of the safe harbor, and, for the counternotice side, losing the safe harbor against users isn't important, because Google has structured there terms of service (like every other provider) to minimize the possibility that there would ever be liability to a user for taking down content or even shuttering an account, so there is no need for that side of the safe harbor.
I have no interest in oden, but I think it's good to get those kind of people out of a community as soon as possible, and they can go work on urbit or something instead.
Careful. Last time I did this, I got downvoted and detached to hell.

I actually really want to know what the statistics are. If it's "mostly" mentally ill people maybe deal with that problem first, if mentally ill is the corner case (a loud one), then maybe not.
There is no need for scare quotes around "the problem." When people regularly walk up to you on the street and start ranting obscenities at you for no particular reason, that is a problem, full stop, no scare quotes.

Source: it happened to me yesterday in downtown San Francisco. It's happened numerous times before. It's a problem.
The inverse of your implication that smaller crimes should be less prosecuted is that merely being accused of a more serious crime means you have fewer rights.

Keep in mind that we have the precedent of innocent unless proven guilty in the US, so the suspected drug kingpin, terrorist, or serial killer is just as innocent as the suspected bubble-gum thief.

"I venture to say that most drug addicts don't actually want to be that way"

I agree with this which is why I think we should offer the support they need to get better. I also feel that people need to be held accountable. If you are not held accountable for staying clean when you are provided the support you need, it will be easy to go right back into it.
Curiosity can also decrease likelihood of survival. See: saying about curiosity and cats. But as a species you might be correct.
I said conditional upon the data passing statistical grokking, then believe the data and not your gut. I should have made this conditionality more clear.

But many people use their anecdotal experiences as justification to deny clearly significant trends because they personally "never observed it."

In a lot of ways these are not good things about our field. They represent a lot of the ways that toxic culture and a flight from quality are pervasive in tech. In tech, it's rarely about actually adding value and often much more about extracting rents from marketing and status. Just like it is in tons of other fields.

Tech is not like this because tech is more meritocratic. Tech is absolutely not meritocratic.

> but skin color is hardly ever an issue.

What are you basing this on? As far as I can tell, only your vague assessment of your personal observations. OK. That's not nothing. But because a lot of people present compelling arguments that it is an issue, I'm generally not just going to take some anecdotal reasoning. There are other explanations. Maybe you've been around racial bias and just not noticed it. Or maybe you've been extremely lucky to avoid being near it. Either of those are more plausible that the unlikely case that your anecdotal experience just happens to be more representative than all of the principled studies (which yes, always have flaws, but no that's not a good reason to believe their basic premise is entirely wrong).
Leaving people with severe mental illnesses who cannot take care of themselves in any sense to rot on the streets and fend for themselves is far more sordid (and has a far longer history.)

"Formal mathematics has no concept of absolute truth"

This is false. The axioms don't have to be true. You can still talk about their implications in absolute terms.

"Assuming a=0 implies a=0" is absolutely true. Regardless of whether a actually is 0.
> Why just maps? why not sets, with useful set methods ?

Having programmed in Go for production a while now, in my experience it's rarely necessary. Sometimes a set is needed, but it's very simple to just use a map[T]struct{}. And if something like union or intersect is needed it's usually less than 20 lines to implement all those operations. Usually that operation is only needed in one instance, and it's very quick to write.

Would it be faster to have a builtin generic set? Absolutely, but it's such a small inconvenience I honestly don't care.

> Sure, but then the city better start spending some billions to improve the infrastructure and public transportation

Now you're onto the crux of the issue.

People, generally, don't want to commute more than 30m each way. The further away you get from that time frame, the more people "drop out" or start sacrificing in other areas (e.g. housing). Having reliable passive transit such as trains or subways extends this time window some.

Build a bullet train that gets you from Modesto (random town 90 miles away) to S.F. in 30m and watch how many families are perfectly willing to buy a 4 bedroom house for 350k and commute every day. Not to mention all the towns in between.

edit

The LA -> SF bullet train's a good start if it lives up to the hype.
There's a missing part in your reasoning. Why does a history of people understanding dogs imply that we shouldn't eat them? Should we never eat animals (or plants?) that people in many cultures and times could understand? What connects understanding and eating? Is it OK for other animals to eat them? Even if we feed the dogs to those other animals?

Don't chickens fall into the same category as dogs? People everywhere live with them wandering around their house, then from time to time they eat one.

Ignoring any other factors, would it be OK to eat a person or dog who had some brain damage so that nobody could understand the mood or intent of anything they communicated? Would it be OK for a person with an inability to understand dogs' (or people's) moods to eat them?

What if a new breed of cow was developed that could get along with people the way dogs do. Would that elevate it to the status of being un-eatable, or not because it doesn't have the long history of people understanding it like dogs do?

These might sound like snarky questions, but their answers would help paint a clearer picture of your idea which, as you've presented it, doesn't make sense to me.

Personally, I wouldn't eat dog because I can imagine all the dogs I've met and feel some emotional connection with. But that's just my personal history. If I was the only one like that, I still wouldn't eat them. You seem to be saying that if you (or your culture) were the only person/culture who had dogs as pets, then you would be willing to eat dogs.

You also implied that it's OK to kill humans ("no sympathy"). Is it OK to kill dogs too as long as we don't eat them?
That's what I thought after the 1989 crash. But look at the Nikkei stock index.[1] It peaked above 37000 in 1989, and bottomed out around 7000 in 2010. Today, it's around 20000.

I was expecting Japan to figure out how to become a successful post-industrial society. But no. Government attempts to fix the economy have mostly involved heavy spending on infrastructure, which beats the US approach of pumping money into the banking system. At least the infrastructure is in good shape. But Japan hasn't returned to being the industrial powerhouse it once was.

Well that's what the the courts are for. There are punishments like adding oversight into the agency.

It's reactive, but hey you don't get a ticket for "conspiracy to speed".

There isn't a lot of piercing of the corporate veil happening in gov't agencies though. As in people getting arrested.

But at the same time, if you work at the FBI, want to try something, and your lawyers say it's legal... Should you go to jail? Should the lawyer?

Sending the person in jail doesn't really help much, but forcing the agency to adopt new postures could help more. We could do both as well, but what does throwing the person in jail really accomplish, apart from giving people a sense of vindication?
Coming from a place where a loved one of mine got the "addiction services" support he needed and is now thriving, I can't agree with you.

Addiction services do help IF the person wants help and IS held accountable.
I don't know I can't find it in my conscience to justify scumbags that are well known to be scumbags but use criminal syndicates to hide their crimes. For instance the mafia uses smaller gangsters to commit crimes and then hide behind those. I can't get myself to condone that, there is nothing to stop people like that then through totalitarian systems.
Just because your population is shrinking does not mean automation cannot take jobs faster than the rate that the workforce shrinks.
I'm not sure if those benefits are enough to offset the deflationary effect of rapidly declining population.

However, at some point, all the reasons for not having children will be overcome by survival instinct kicking in. Japan has already reached the inflection point with birthrate going up again.
You have a property right.

You have an occupancy right -- a right to quiet enjoyment of your residence, with constraints on landlord entrance/interference under non-emergency conditions... not the same thing as property rights.

Surprise, there are actually more diverse sets of black people than "African", each with their own biological diversity. African-Americans (that is, blacks in America who can trace their ancestors to the southern slaves) overwhelming come from a specific part of Africa, and those Africans are quite different from Africans elsewhere on the continent. You even have race wars among different ethnic groups of Africans! (See Rwanda for a particularly gruesome example.) So some African subgroups are actually better at different athletic traits -- not all can jump like African-Americans, but then again not all can sprint like another group, or run for very long distances like yet another group -- just as not all White people are actually as intelligent on average as the British. Human biological diversity is pretty rich and varied, it's just unfortunate that the thing that matters most in modern society (intelligence) correlates as well as it does with such general and otherwise not very telling traits like skin color.
Because not everyone is in the US.
There are few routes more prone to vast error than extrapolating exponential growth far into the future.
