Except the Passenger Pigeon died off in 1914. A lot of noteworthy fauna died in the 19th and 20th centuries from the combination of mass human expansion, industrialization, and globalization. The difference is that in 1889 there weren't passenger pigeons in every zoo and an active awareness they were critically endangered. Even if people knew they were endangered back then, the US might didn't do enough to keep the species alive - our awareness as a species of the danger we pose and our responsibility to preserve other lifeforms is something that is fairly new to the last couple decades.

Today, we have the IUCN, which didn't even exist until 1964, fifty years after the Passenger Pigeon was gone. We keep track of at risk populations and have a vast infrastructure of care facilities and a lot of interested parties and money in keeping species from dying out. We have an interconnected global communication system to always know what is at risk everywhere. Whereas bans on the hunting of passenger pigeons in the 1880s and 90s weren't enforced and few were aware of them it would be much easier to spread information on and enforce such bans today.

The only captive population of passenger pigeons in the early 20th century was at the Cincinnati Zoo, which slowly died off because they only had an unsustainable population starting out of 20. Today, there are thousands of captive giraffes around the world, and the news of their endangerment should promote more preserves to adopt giraffes to make the species can be kept stable if they die off in the wild.

Organizations always want to reduce costs, there is always pressure to be efficient and reduce costs.

Usually the current costs are the cost of business, and if there is an externality ie economic downturn, some crisis, big lost deals, then there may be renewed pressure at which point this has already been communicated by the leadership to the org and everyone is on the same page.

Trying to reduce costs out of the blue is not usual, it suggests some individual thinks there is some inefficiency after studying the issue, or its a management consultant recently hired to explore that, but usually the people being requested for information would be briefed and know exactly the reason and why.

> Half of our country still thinks climate change is a hoax...

That's not quite true. Most Americans (7 in 10 in a recent study [1]) believe climate change is happening. The difference is that half are unwilling to pay extra in electricity bills and other areas to deal with it.

The overtones of political tribalism in your denouncement of "half of Americans who believe it's a hoax" is good reflection of why politics is so divisive in the US and only grows further apart on important issues.

Manhattan's population is way lower than it was at its peak. You could add another 300,000 residents to Manhattan and it would have only reached the 1950 peak of 1.9M, let alone the 1920s peak of 2.3M. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Manhattan

A pertinent quote from an article about zoning in Politico, hardly an outpost of libertarian free-market thinking: https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/city-hall/story/201...

> Rezonings push and prod what planners call the “building envelope,” an invisible outline that hovers over the built city and limits what developers can create. The legacy 1961 zoning created an invisible city with a loose shape, like a dress bought a few sizes too big, that the physical city had plenty of room to grow into. The Bloomberg administration has left behind a building envelope that’s more like a corset, pulled tight to the city’s body, cinching around places that were already small and boosting its curves. The Bloomberg administration’s 120 rezonings did as much to change the city’s shape in places where it limited growth as where it let developers build tall, and, as the city expands, those limits could become a problem.

No one is calling for the immediate doubling of housing stock today. But the notion that we should restrict development in specific areas is ludicrous. Often the places that have development restrictions are wealthy and politically connected; Williamsburg gentrified because the East Village gentrifiers slammed the doors, then Bushwick gentrified because the Williamsburg gentrifiers slammed the doors, and so on and so forth. Development restrictions hurt poor people more by forcing gentrification into other neighborhoods.
This was driving across the border for an extended vacation. I'm not going to post every detail, but I had a vague itinerary and I completely understand why we got extra questions. However, I hadn't done anything suspicious at all. It is a question of rights, and as a non Canadian citizen, you have no rights other than to decide not to go to Canada anymore. They were looking for evidence of drug smuggling, proof that I could financially afford to take care of myself if something went wrong, and "hate speech". That is what the officer said. You may find this reasonable, but how thoroughly they search your phone is entirely up to the officer at the border, and they have every ability to just image your phone.

Denim lovers often prefer fabric created by an old weaving machine.

Entire brands like Momotaro are known because they have been able to find and use these machines (that's even an issue for them since it is very hard to maintain these machines and it takes a while to train people).

Ironically, what is preferred are the irregularities created by the old process.

I think that someday it will be surpassed though.
Right now, a huge part of the process is still manual.

With more and more sensors in our smartphones, we already have more than enough to get a 3d scan of a body.

'All' we need is to automate tailoring and reproduce irregularities with modern machines.

At my place of employment, we are instructed to "hover to uncover" every link in an e-mail. Yet every link I get from virtually any automated source reads something like this:

"To accomplish the task you need to accomplish, simply visit us at h t t p s: / / example dot com / some / simple.url.html"

Finally, I was waiting for someone to talk about the model itself. It makes sense that SVD or something like it (PCA, co-occurrence, etc) would be used.

But I also wonder what exactly you are going to do with the predictions. What exactly do you show to someone to make them more likely to go and vote if they are inclined to vote your way, or make them stay at home otherwise? Is there evidence that whatever you're showing actually works? Or do you try to change people's minds? What do you do?

Knowing how the state of things -in this case, people's voting inclinations- is not the same as knowing what to do, ie a strategy.

I don't know how effective it is, I'd like to learn more. But I smell the possibility that these CA type firms are simply selling snakeoil to desperate political activists.

This is one of those times when I don't like how the internet has increased our connectivity. I'm sure this is a substantive article, but I would prefer to let my childhood memories of "Ren and Stimpy" fade away without knowing about this (I didn't read the article).

I trust that this is being handled by the appropriate authorities and the people who are involved. If it isn't being handled appropriately, then I think that would be the newsworthy article (not this one).

Correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't read the article and only commented on it because these types of articles make me uncomfortable. I don't mean to be a snowflake but it's a bummer seeing this stuff in my favorite newsfeed.

They don’t necessarily have to be affordable. You can be premium. They just have to be able to provide high speed internet and not be Comcast.

People who choose to live out further than where telecomm companies will support have money to spend too. There’s pent up demand.

By usage I didn't mean occasionally computing. (This is not free of problems. BTW you'd be horrified to know even finite purely combinatorial mathematics leads to irrational polytopes, ending up with infinities.) But using as a cornerstone of theory that allows for reasoning of epistemic value i.e. one affording symbolic manipulations that behave in a guaranteed way. Taking differences instead of differentials doesn't matter (why people bother if it were that easy). Whereas Finitism just shifts infinities elsewhere ending up with ultrafilter.

> You have a very strange definition of “real”

I didn't realize I used one. Or that reality has a definition (old problem in philosophy).

Or that it matters. Irrespective of what reality is mathematics can be ① real, ② have different being still connected to reality, ③ or be unreal with some mechanism for reasoning to cross the boundary to reality. First and last are troubling. Issues with the middle one is why there is a philosophy of mathematics at all.

> “real numbers”

Real numbers of course are called so for being perversion that they are. Do try get rid of them. Two centuries people have failed and still try intensely. They need a cheer.

> Every mathematical use of completed infinities inherently involves “mysticism”

I don't see what you could possibly mean. Any specifics?

Other than a lazy trollish attempt at obverting my position. To remind it is that Fictionalism absolves one from studying internal mechanics of fictional things. (Other than stop such worries, what use of invoking it?) You say mathematics is the same. In fact worse: mysticism gets in at every other point, inherently. (Why do I even bother replying…) Is it a cult? I assure you whenever a garden variety idol has deep feelings about eternity and numbers, there is a pushback https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.0244

Mathematics is a study, deals in mysticism as much as accounting: when infinities arise, their need and utility are studied, employed and scrutinized as generously as quantitative easing. If you find baffling mysticism plaguing your understanding, there is no shortage of philosophical equivalents of Bitcoin.
"What sort of lies" is pretty hand-wavy when it comes to labeling training data for a model. Are you summarizing from a source? I'm interested in the technical details of what happened.
Nice breakdown.

I would add that money comes with responsibility and it's the money/responsibilities ratio that really matters.

I was at a top-tier tech company (the one that's getting all the heat lately) for 2 years in a senior eng role, breaking my neck and struggling to maintain healthy work/life balance. Leaving it felt devastating but in retrospect, it was the right decision. Now I'm at a non-tech company, making almost the same money, having twice fewer expectations. All while working on just as exciting tech and problems.

I can likely get a tech position in finance and make even more, but at what cost to my work hours and expectations? Not worth it.
I suspect that it was him talking to Howard Stern. From another article, "Howard Stern, while doing an interview, referenced Kricfalusi’s Sody Pop character, calling her 'a hot chick with big cans and nice legs.' Kricfalusi reportedly grinned, and added, 'She’s underage, too.'"

The medical history thing I can understand. However, for the GPS-unit-collected data, I wonder if a player should just refuse consent. Or if a league can require consent to play if they are sharing that data to users. Hypothetically (though it may exist like it does for many other sports), say I'm watching a diagram based representation of a Rugby match as a normal consumer. Do these players believe they can refuse to allow the public use/sharing of movement tracking? How about when they score a try? Who owns that data? Where does it end? I think the middle ground is all data is made publicly available (as agreed to by leagues and player unions), or if it is not considered public data for end consumers then it subject to explicit approval by the player before being shared.

If you've ever used Total Commander or even Windows 7+ native file explorer it's very hard to go back to or use Finder. Keyboard shortcuts, tokenizing/detokenizing file paths, opening in terminal, searching within files, search for duplicate files, bulk rename, plugins, and more.

Whenever I have a new Mac I spend a couple minutes customizing Finder: adding things like the Path button, showing the Path bar, showing the Status bar, etc. I get that it's supposed to be simple but it's surprising to me that such basic things aren't in the starting configuration.
