They could presumably investigate you with much greater power outside of the US where you don't have the same rights. I don't know if they could later use that in court, but that was at least what someone argued regarding Silk Road.

"In any event, even if the FBI had somehow 'hacked' into the SR Server in order to identify its IP address, such an investigative measure would not have run afoul of the Fourth Amendment," Turner wrote. "Because the SR Server was located outside the United States, the Fourth Amendment would not have required a warrant to search the server, whether for its IP address or otherwise."

One of the advantages of telegram: it's trivial to message yourself. Really handy for sharing links or just as a notepad
I suspect "shower curtains for days" A/B tests better than anything else they have to test it against. Not that it's the absolute best thing, just the best thing they can automatically suggest. A bath mat that's a color/pattern match for that shower curtain, for example, might convert really well. But one that's not will convert poorly.

I am surprised, as you hint, that they can't tell "one time" versus recurring. Where it should pitch me AA batteries I bought 6 months ago versus the more recent shower curtains, since I will likely buy the former again.
Grew up in coastal SoCal, and I'm still here. The houses here weren't even built with insulation. That said, climate change has been making it worse here. >90°F (>32°C) temps used to be extremely rare when I was growing up, but last year we hit the century mark a few days (~38°C). Obligatory: can't for sure blame AGW but more extreme events are likely.

Just installed the window-mounted air conditioners today for this summer, because of the Texas-like combination of heat and humidity today finally made it uncomfortable.

That said, don't discount California's efficiency rules and culture in our lower energy use, either. Or the fact that urban density is higher here so you don't lose as much energy to transportation.
TBH for most people that use WeTransfer I don't think this is a major concern, though it maybe should be.

This smacks of Mozilla misjudging the market again and wasting a lot of time and money on things that just won't work at scale. Annoying because they are by far the richest 'tech charity' and have a lot of really amazing engineers. More Rust and Servo (concepts that very few people can execute on), less random startup ideas, I think.

If a website salts their hashes, that only helps protect their users if that website is hacked and their password database stolen.

But 306 million passwords have already been exposed by data breaches at other sites. And users have a tendency to reuse passwords across multiple sites. Just because your website wasn't hacked doesn't mean an attacker can't go look up one of your users in someone else's data breach and try the same password on your site.
It is traceable as such if it is gargantuanly "on the radar." I have no idea if WannaCry ranks as "on the radar" but I would not think so, in terms of size. We're talking about $140,000.
I'd imagine part of it is just having to test all the edge cases-- for every language is their full neural better?

That, and also building a good pipeline for it to work at scale.

Don't get me wrong... but If it makes you feel better, I use DL for most of my research / projects. Well, after 7 years dealing with DL I couldn't really find a better single word to describe it.

It looks neat. You should include a link to the documentation on the homepage. After I saw the screenshot I went looking to see how easy it would be to change some of the colors before I installed it. I read down below that the colors are baked in:(

It would also be nice to see files owned by different users and some of the git functionality.
Path dependency. Insect eyes and vertebrate eyes presumably each occupy their own unique minima in the energy landscape. Even if we could describe a cost function that picked one of them as more globally optimal, moving from one to another would be hideously expensive.

It's also possible that compound eyes have an advantage at smaller eye sizes---or maybe a better way to put it: their disadvantage relative to vertebrate eyes is less pronounced for equally small eyes. Pure speculation on my part though.
My first thought is that "exa" has all three letters in the left hand. Not nearly as easy to type as "ls".
Rare Earth minerals have significantly more regulation. They used to not, but now Cobalt is the exception.

> 50 years ago you could write your pro-nazi holocaust denying op ed but it isnt a violation of free speech when the new york times refused to publish it.

The New York times also never publicly advertised themselves as a "Free Speech Platform" that was "open to all persons and views"

>they are saying that horrible things shouldn't be said on a massive platform that millions of people see

Well one, it is clear you yourself are not a supporter of Freedom of Speech.

Two, so do you believe that a massive platform with millions of people should be forced to sensor speech you find to be "horrible"

One of the things I always question when people start classify speech as "horrible" is who subjective it is. For example I think it is "horrible" that the christian region is given prominent placement in society. I believe the views of the Christian Region to be "horrible" and I consider indoctrinating children into said religion to be abuse. Would you support a massive platform banning all references to Christianity? And if they did would support them calling themselves "Supporters of Free Speech" while doing so?

//and before the Christians get all butt hurt, I oppose any and all organized religions, I think they are all bullshit. Christianity however is the most popular religion in America so I use it to highlight my point

first: there is no block scalability problem, the size of the block adapts to the number of current transactions.

second: privacy even for regular law obeying citizens do you really want anyone to have access to how much CryptoCurrency you have and the record of all your transactions?

third: at the moment is ASIC resistant and anyone even using a desktop or laptop can mine, personally I think this is very important for effective distribution in less developed countries.
Could you elaborate on why you think it's entirely a choice? You seem to be implying that the choice to be (or not be) car dependent in Texas and the choice to be (or not be) car dependent in a state like Pennsylvania (for example) are equivalent.

why don't you mix the two and have electronic as 'indicative' with paper being the ultimate decider. no way i want 100% e-voting but having a machine spit out a picture of the person i'm voting for that i deposit in a box seems fine - the instant-news cycle gets it's data realtime, the data is then fact checked over the next 24 hours. what's the downside? i like democracy, i think a bit of belt-and-braces to its mechanics is a Very Good Idea.

Yes. And I've had a hostile fellow once upon a time put my RL info in the whois and post a bunch of shit on it. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt when its random online public stuff until they are convicted.

The internet "evidence" is way too flimsy to be considered reasonable standards of proof imho.

It's a very libertarian (puerile) view of free speech. The rest of us understand principles like civility, that your rights stop where mine begin, don't yell "fire!" in a crowded theater, balancing rights and responsibilities, and that hatespeech is a form of assault.
Prior to changes introduced by Jan Hus (in this case, the introduction of the háček), Czech shared digraphs that are still used in Polish. "Cz" is was ultimately replaced with "č". It is possible that the archaic form somehow made it into English and survived (though my sources tell me that the spelling has only been present in English since the 17th century, or after Hus' reforms).

Because shorting means you're borrowing BTC so you can sell it off. Since you borrowed BTC, you're the one who would have received the BCC for that BTC, so are you on the hook to give that back as well?

If I borrow your hen and it lays an egg and that hatches a chick, shouldn't I give you the chick back with the hen?

My point, by the way, was that tails are relatively speaking, breakaway structures. So maybe not much would have happened.

I've had three accidents where my vehicle was hit from the side by another, moving at ~100 km/h. In two of them, the other vehicle hit crumple zone stuff, and I hardly felt the impact. In the third, there was frame-frame contact, and I experienced extreme angular acceleration. It almost ripped my head off.
Well fine, sue them for false advertising. Or if that's untenable than let's get a law passed that says if a business claims, as part of its marketing, to support a right then they have a legal obligation to civilly enforce said right at their place(s) of business. I'd be on board with that.

As for the rest, it would appear I'm thinking more from an (American) legal perspective and the implications of various measures that might be taken, whereas you're thinking from a more philosophical perspective. If you have a way to prevent "societal sanction" without violating other rights in the process then I suggest you find a way to get nominated for a Nobel.

It's all well and good to state that everyone should listen to everyone else and that not to do so is a violation of free speech. I'm just not sure how that goes beyond theory. Even in the most benign case, that of time, people have to sleep. Am I violating someone's right to free speech if I refuse to listen on account of exhaustion? Would my old college dormitory's "quiet hours" be considered "societal sanction"?

Not that it's worth wading too far into this, but there is no good reason to believe those people were there specifically for harassment.

For one, if they were there to harass, you would expect them to have done some harassing. I have seen no examples of that. The only possible thing that could be construed as harassing behaviour was them being there in the first place - and I don't think that's a very high bar to set for harassment.

I mean, you can watch the videos[0] of the event yourself. None of it looked particularly harassing to me, until Sarkeesian started attacking the audience.

Not sure what exactly you're referring to when you say 'the story' but the articles I've seen don't seem to paint the same picture ([1] for example).

There exist headphones with low-profile 90 degree connectors. In my experience those solve pretty much all the durability issues the older style jacks had.
For another example, VS Ramachandran has shown that some people who have lost a limb experience significant pain in a phantom limb. And the pain can over time be significantly reduced and even eliminated with mental exercises.

With that in mind, I don't think it's anti-scientific to think there may be legitimacy to other mind-centered approaches to pain relief.
How in the heck could Google justify such a staggering amount for such a ridiculous thing? There is no way any advertising could ever pay back that ungodly amount they offered.
Many of the famous and not so famous hacks were basically from refusal to follow manufacturer's instructions regarding upgrading OS versions (Home Depot, Target, for POS terminals, or National Health Service and others running on Windows XP which is no longer supported by the vendor) or not using 2-factor identification with a Yubikey or similar device (Clinton campaign John Podesta, Colin Powell).

Another large health insurer (Anthem?) was audited by the federal government for security issues and then refused to implement the recommendations.

Following software manufacturer's recommendations and using 2-factor identification and a Yukikey would go a long way to provide a lot of hacking.

Hiring security consultants that put in additional cybersecurity software would also help in a number of cases.
> it's relatively easy to keep tabs on movements of known criminal proceeds

Until they've been obfuscated by a mixer... and not every mixer is going to be interested in blacklisting every set of coin from every known criminal activity. And many criminal activities are surely unknown, including many for which the sources of coins are not going to go to any extent to report. (The senders may be committing crimes that were unrelated to Bitcoin crime, and so entirely off the radar.)

I'd hazard a guess that the majority of crime committed in and around the ecosystem of Bitcoin is not even Bitcoin theft, so might never be reported.

How many times does a value have to move from one address to another address, and mix with untainted coin, before it's going to be considered too far removed from the original addresses to be palpably associated with the original crime?

Bluetooth is necessarily lower quality as you're taking an audio source and compressing and decompressing it using a lossy algorithm. Granted, as most people are listening to streaming, they're already listening to a source that's been compressed and decompressed once or twice.

Sure but that doesn't mean we shouldn't expect better or excuse it when we catch people doing it. The four big Tesla-y threads in the past 24 hours or so have had people with financial interests upvoted to the top comment.

ChuckMcM's comment was the top in this thread when I commented on it, and so was his comment in the Li-ion battery thread for a while.
Then simonsarris is at the top of both of these threads:

> So should I, as a gun owner, demand that I should be allowed to carry my firearm anywhere, on anyone's property; and claim that for them to deny me that right is a violation of my 2nd amendment rights? I'm pro-gun and even to me that sounds crazy, as it would to many pro-gunners who are usually big on personal property rights.

There are many, many gun owners who argue exactly that. That "gun free zones" are anti-Constitutional, be those zones publicly owned, or privately owned.

This shouldn't be news to you.
I just want to correct your comment unless anybody else sees this.

By default this is not how Patreon works. For most creators you are not charged until the end of the month, so if you sign up on August 2nd you are not charged any money, and the money doesn't go to the creator, until September 1st.

They do have a new setting for Patreon campaigns that lets the creators change this, but many have not.
I'm going to take the contrary view here.

I hate hate headphone cords. OTOH I've use 3 different cordless headphones regularly (ironically not AirPods) and I don't have any particular problems.

Positives: The cord doesn't get tangled, the remote works properly on all phones and laptops (unlike the multiple standards for wired remotes).

Negatives: The battery life. They cost more for similar quality (although this isn't as clear cut anymore: eg less than $100 gets quite competent JBL BT headphones).

Neutral: I don't find the audio any worse. Some wired headsets are better, but many aren't.
Except those things have happened to other people and thus anyone who has done those things (that aren't necessarily immoral or even illegal in other places) should avoid the US.

So you basically had the same observation as I had in a totally different community.

I'm not sure about your explanation though. Chinese people are not magical people. IQ is still distributed on a bell curve in China as well. If a chunk of people from a country exhibit characteristics that indicate they might be on the lower end of the bell curve, they might just be on the lower end.
I think you need to make up your mind here. If 65k cancelled reservations is a lot, then so is nearly half a million remaining reservations. If half a million remaining reservations aren't a lot, then 65k cancelled ones aren't relevant.

Blockchain remains, but it's will only contain hash of transaction script. Actual transaction script body which is heavy and take most of space in blockchain will go into separate extended block. This reduces size of transactions in main chain.

Interesting. That might work assuming workers get an appropriate amount of rest. I know it works well for nursing staff to have longer shifts. There's definitely a cost to handing off tasks, though I expect this to be near zero in a factory setting.

I just know that people get really dumb when they're tired, and it's the same kind of dumb as oxygen deprevation where people actually think they're not effected.

I'd be curious if these 12 hour shifts are preferences for personal reasons, or if there are measurable benefits in the factory as well.
