> Another simple option for limiting complexity

Okay but... I guess my question is: why are you denying a client the right to make a complex query? Is it because all your queries are kinda slow and so you must hand-optimize them, leading to a combinatoric explosion of codepaths?

Or is it because your clients cannot judge how complex the queries they're making are? If so, isn't this actually a gap in the GQL spec? Lots of other query language implementations offer query description and estimation commands in their code.

Your proposed solution seems to me like it's brutal for your consumers. There's minimal indication of how quickly your complexity metric will rise in the query. You'd need to add ad-hoc per query&mutation arguments to push that query complexity cap up for legitimate uses.

I see quite a bit of signatures there. Create your own Patreon. It needs not be porn or erotica specific, but it should not be that hard to build a similar service with more ample freedoms to content creators. And given most of these people have YouTube channels and whatnot, it shouldn't be that hard to get at least a good portion of the patrons to switch over to your new service.

Companies will do all that's possible to avoid getting in trouble. It's their bread and butter after all. Also, companies come, companies go. Never depend on them, especially for your livelihood. Form an NGO and build your tool, maybe in a more progressive European country.

Also, I bet if Patreon could include adult w/o negative consequences, they would. After all it's more income. But probably they're bound by external stuff (companies whose services they use, some laws, etc.), and those are to attack. I can be 100% behind asking for a legislation to disallow excluding any sectors or groups from using your services as a company, but trying to coerce a company this way, no.

A typically developed HDR photo is a single sample following the time at which the eye has adapted. There are [hopefully] no over- or under-exposed areas.

The dynamic range in HDR games is often used to simulate the entire process of eye adaptation. It's a function over time that intentionally creates over- or under-exposure some of the time.
> unless you can make a convincing argument Chinese are somehow worth less than Americans

At the moment, if we are viewing people as a resource, in terms of economic production per individual, they are.

That aside, I agree with you in general, but the point can also be made that It is not fair to compare the US and China per capita because in theory China is still a developing country, and only when the standards of living are similar between the two countries would the comparison be fair.

This assumes that improving standard of living is more important to China than controlling emissions though.
Looking at who cited the paper you gave, I've found only one, and there is actually one rebuttal of the paper that cited the former:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00799

The authors of the rebuttal of that paper write:

"Since those early years, a discussion took place on the different geodesics that can be written using local or non-local
coordinates. Large accounts were published on this debate [10, 12–14].

Two sort of claims are recurring. Ignoring previous literature, there is a long list of scholars who pretend having
discovered repulsion. They are listed in [10, 12–14]. The other concerns the attribution of physical consequences in
the local environment of the falling body. For dismantling the latter claim, we follow the analysis by Cavalleri and
Spinelli [15, 16]."

"It is a coordinate effect appearing to an observer at a remote distance from the black hole and when coordinate time is employed. Repulsion has no bearing and relation to the local physics of the black hole, and moreover it cannot be held responsible for accelerating outgoing particles. Thereby, the energy boost of cosmic rays cannot be produced by repulsion."

The rebutted paper doesn't have the same topic as the one you cite, so it doesn't have to mean too much or anything. But it hints about the way the "repulsion" claims can be problematic:

"The main shortcoming of [17] is the assumption that repulsion, type i), is a physical effect and not just a
coordinate effect. In other words, repulsion is only present when coordinate time is adopted and cannot explain
phenomena local to the source, and ruled by proper time."

However the lack of other responses to the paper you cite is so big at the moment that I don't expect much of it. Is there any response to the paper you cite, by any scientist, that you are aware of?

But I see that the guy is productive, and produced dubious papers before, so much that he doesn't list them himself but that could be found:

The Pioneer anomaly is currently considered solved,

and definitely not the way he attempted to do, just like now he mentions then

So I'm not holding my breath for his next paper.

Edit: thanks for the link to his Russian blog. It seems even weirder than I could imagine, I haven't tried Google translate, but just looking, it appears that in one post he first writes about the EM drive stuff and only then he mentions that he apparently solved all the cosmological problems? Wow, he has his priorities. A typical troll, the way I see him.

New Hampshire also has a pretty unique culture regarding hunting on others' and public land:

"Based on long-standing tradition, nearly all lands in the state of New Hampshire are open to hunting. The "rule of thumb" in New Hampshire is: all state, federal, municipal, county and private land is open to hunting unless it is posted against hunting."

I walk. I don't drive. I've noticed that traffic is getting crazy (I live in San Francisco.)

Phones are a large part of it, and they are affecting all kinds of things: At bus stops people now try to get on the bus without waiting for the people getting off to exit first. It doesn't make any sense but they do it. And on every single bus there's at least one person watching TV or listening to (invariable bad) music without headphones.

So it's not just cars but car traffic is bad too.

A huge factor is the Lyft/Uber drivers. You see a lot of weird maneuvers and crazy shit these days, and it's almost always one of them. Some one is driving slow and turning their turn signals on and off? It's an uber driver looking for their pickup. Car camped in a crosswalk with no signals or blinkers? Uber driver. Etc...

I believe there's a bleed-over effect where people see others doing stupid shit and then they start to think that's the way things are and do stupid shit themselves. It becomes the new norm. I was bummed out to see the other day a police officer roll through a stop sign looking at his phone. He glanced up as he entered the intersection, at least. ;-(

People don't want to drive well.

I hate when drivers "play chicken" with me at intersections. I've had drivers wave me forward to cross in front of them while they were still rolling. No thank you. You stop and I'll go, or you go and I'll wait (and to hell with right-of-way.)

More topically, anyone who crosses the street without paying attention has a bit of a death wish or something. I doubt a fine is going to help much.

These cases may or may not be phishing. When corporations are hacked for their user credentials, those databases sometimes end up in dark web markets.

The world needs more work being done in the way Hawkins and co. are doing it, and less in the mold of most deep learning/ML work. Why? He's actually trying to connect building intelligent machines with biology. This is a huge problem, but so few are working on it. Rather, we are all distracted by deep learning because of its recent successes in very specific problem areas. In a few years, when we run into its limits, Hawkins and people doing work like this will have a chance to shine (if they produce something that works, of course).

I remember in the good old days of flip phones, I just use Bluetooth OBEX to locally transfer the file(s) to another Bluetooth enabled device. It’s a bit slow but otherwise works fine. It was simple too—just select the picture, hit send via Bluetooth, select the receiving Bluetooth device, and hit Send. All these file transfer over the cloud using google/Dropbox/amazon/etc for local devices feel like Rube Goldberg to me...

> It's like telling your neighbor his door is open.

I think it's more like your neighbors door being open and you going in side and seeing that the refrigerator is open. Therefore proving that you trespassed on private property. Not legal. Of course in most cases you wouldn't be prosecuted for that I would imagine unless you tramped around the house.

Article says:

"he'd come across an FTP server operated by another dental software company, Patterson Dental, which makes "Eaglesoft," a dental practice management software product. Shafer had discovered an openly available anonymous FTP server with patient data"

In order to determine it had patient data he would have to see the patient data not just connect to the server at the root level and then exit. So at the very least (in theory) he would have cd'd a few directories and perhaps downloaded a few files or noted the directory structure and names. That is entering and looking around.

If their number is correct, there are only about 7,000 lookalikes on the planet for any given user. Tracking one down and convincing them to participate in your nefarious scheme seems non-trivial. And remember that you must accomplish this within a fairly short time period (48 hours?) and two failures will lock you out for good.

If you’re the target of an attack by a sophisticated organization like an intelligence agency or a large industrial espionage operation, they might be able to pull this off. Common criminals will just break the phone up for parts. And either way, it’s better than fingerprints.

This was the default rule for most of the frontier states. The east coast states (early states) adopted a default rule of no trespassing while the frontier states had such huge expanses of land privately owned that no trespassing as the default was impractical. Instead, the default was trespassing was allowed unless otherwise posted (hence the plethora of no trespassing signs in the Western states).

>Also, using uninitialized variables is basically a code golfing stupidity that will bite you in any halfway complicated program.

Nonsense. Not if you know what you are doing, and used it in a known way, which is what I did. The code I wrote works. I tested it on Linux before posting it. Also, such a usage (skipping the initializer) is mentioned (IIRC) in the classic Kernighan & Pike book "The Unix Programming Environment" (still a great resource, though not updated for modern Unix/Linux features), which is where I learned it from, years ago (and hence why I qualified my statement by saying it may not work in more strict or modern awk versions). Fine to talk about other variations but it does not mean that my variation is wrong.

Don't try to read my mind. My intention was not code golfing. Was just sharing some fun info. It's not a big deal to keep the initializer either, I'm quite aware of that.
It's all over in the US, but why wouldn't I want it left on my porch? Shrinkage (stolen packages) is so small in most areas of the US the cost/inconvenience of having to track down your neighbor (and wait for him to be home now) or going to the office far outweighs the random package being stolen here and there. For scale, I get at least 5 packages delivered a week and over the past decade I've lived where I do I have had exactly 2 packages go missing. One was the driver, the other I cannot account for and was likely stolen.

It's simply not an issue.

That said, many areas it is an issue and you'll have to deal with going into the office to pick it up - which completely negates the entire purpose of delivery to me.

I really don't understand folks who think this is a major issue or that leaving it with the neighbors is okay. I figure those folks typically only use on-line shopping to buy high value items relatively rarely, and are okay with the inconvenience.

When you are getting 90%+ of your daily life delivered, it becomes untenable. Please just leave it at the door.

The best use-case for me is a smart lock on a garage or outhouse, and a door-bell with remote access (such as Ring [1])

if the house is made of icf construction, it wont rot, suffer from termites, warp or burn. if you have a metal roof with steel trusses, your roof will last a very, very long time. all of this also makes the house impervious to fires both inside and outside as well as high winds. they make houses in southern florida that arent made out of stick and that dont simply fall over in a strong wind -- i look at those a lot for guidance. the construction cost is only slightly higher excluding the steel trusses. my house wont be very big so i can afford the steel trusses. even without steel trusses, you can make it practically fire proof. coating the outside of an icf house with cement based stucco will make that house classified as a non combustible structure in the eyes of the code, and you can insure it as such.
