Hmm. This is interesting.

I can see how a non violent criminal who has served their time and been punished might not be able to move on with their life when they are only found in Google for the ONE bad thing they did.

This should never be applied to violent criminals.
Thanks for the link. I noticed it was “As of August 2012”, which despite being old still falsifies my prior belief. (Gell-Mann Amnesia, I incorrectly relied on the press for science). Unfortunately I can’t seem to find anything more up-to-date and just get more confused journalism.

That said, isn’t the point of the Blue Brain project to answer your skepticism? When we have all those things, the only thing remaining is to see what can be left out of the sim without compromising the behaviour?

>This is very different comparing to existing technologies that usually store state in a centralized place that is owned by a single company.

That wouldn't be the case for Git though. With git every repository is authoritative. Github is merely were most people put their repos to be discovered and use it as a central source of truth (which is totally fine for what most people do)

You can also use a USB stick (did that in Uni when wifi was failing, it's quite fun)

You also don't need full decentralization as Mastodon shows. You only need enough that it becomes hard to single out a user and block only them or a group of users. In the fediverse there is basically no universally blocked instance, every instance federate with atleast some others.
Yes and No. Look, I think that decentralization has a lot to offer and has many applications where it makes sense, but lately I've heard a bit too much decentralization-for-decentralizations-sake talk going on. The internet still goes through backbone nodes (which are the important interconnects of ISP's deep in datacenters). We are still transversing a physical medium limited by the laws of physics. That said, this is why meshnets for example are a great proper project for decentralization to overcome that sort of physical layout root issue (taking it to p2p radio comms of some sort).

Everybody talks about the cloud likes it's a new magic. It's fucking not. It's just servers in datacenters like it always was, but with nicer interfaces for remote customers. Except the cloud providers lock you in, by design. The ISP connects the servers of the cloud providers in datacenters to the public internet, but those servers reside in datacenters.

Servers which run in prime conditions, with good hardware, and have the proper infrastructure and people to support them and give them uptimes in the four 9's depending on datacenter tier. Decentralization might be able to approach this though due to the strength of it's topology.

Another issue is privacy. The ISP and the state level actors have your data and you know it... and are entities you at least theoretically have legal options for recourse against. Everyone knows your IP when you start running p2p decentralized platforms. That's why for example you should not be running a tor exit node from your home network. In this day of easy data on people, your IP is a hop skip and a jump away from you being doxed. Or ddossed, or various other things.

I could go on, but the point is decentralization has a place. Use the right tool for the right job, and stop trying to make a multi-tool that does everything cause it always fucks something up.
I deliberately chose to buy ADSL service from the only company I found that instead of billing automatically and renewing the contract implicitly requires a fax with proof of advance payment and eagerly disconnects me if I'm late.

Depends on which definition of bloated you choose. If you look at install size on disk it's clear that Windows 10 requires more space than Windows 7. In contrast, you can easily create a usable Linux system (including a window manager, not just a minimal server install) that takes up half the space of a Windows 7 install.

Git's consensus model is not weak or non-existant it's just not like Bitcoins.

Rather, in Git's version a single person or group decides what the truth is and everyone follows that (or forks). It's human/social consensus. It can be as strong or stronger than bitcoin since any issues or conflicts are resolved to satisfaction in meatspace.

Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash are two forks of Bitcoin and nobody seems to be able to decide which is the proper one, people argue back and forth.

Meanwhile in the repositories of both chains, people happily submit changes and commit them under the watch of the lead developers who control and check what goes in, rejecting harmful or bad merge requests, etc.

A lot of accidents happen because people don't see the car ahead of them.

This could be either because they are distracted (eg. fidgeting with the radio or their mobile phone), or because vision is poor (dense fog).

A system that warns you in those cases that there's a vehicle in front of you sounds useful to me.
That's not really what it says. It's the difference between quantizing by day (one or two drinks per day) and quantizing by some larger unit (seven or nine drinks per week or some such similar). The existing guidelines are not really all that well informed anyway, as with other U.S. dietary guidelines they are more or less just an expression of the status quo, set just high enough that 80%+ of Americans don't exceed them.

The actual interesting result is that their interpretation of the data suggests that there is no amount of drinkable alcohol which can be said to have a neutral or positive effect on your health, male or female.

Actions should follow words, n'est-ce pas?

When a person writes about empathy like this:

> You’re thinking with other software engineers and you’re thinking about how what you do and the APIs that you are giving them, how they impact how they write software.

or about things like this:

> And my talk is really about, how subtle changes in APIs and so forth, how they impact the programming model.

one would expect the person writing this to practice what they preach.

If you want to upload a dataset to OSM, be careful! that's called an import, and can be tricky to do. As you've noticed, it's easy to add the wrong data the wrong way. Imports are advanced topics https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import

OSM can store all sorts of data, so there might be a need for the "State Suburbs", esp if you want to do statistical work. But you point out that they shouldn't be used for geocoding (address lookups), so maybe those state suburbs are tagged wrong.
What if someone was a violent criminal in the past, like due to an Alcohol addiction, but went through therapy in prison and is now a peaceful citizen?

Serving your time in jail is sufficient to pay for your crimes, IMO. Unless there is a good reason, ie public interest as the law states, we shouldn't rubberstamp all criminals as evil (or all violent criminals).

Part of getting them back into society is rehabilitation which means we give them another chance to integrate and follow the law.

The world is changed by people. I'm not sure the current rage against Facebook is being organically sustained. What I mean there is that there is currently a [completely justified] media frenzy against Facebook, but what will happen when the media moves onto the next click-worthy topic? I'm guessing this will be as forgotten as Equifax.

In order for the world to change people need to be genuinely, independently, and individually upset at the behavior here. Here, I think this [1] Onion article is a good example of when satire meets reality: "American People Admit Having Facebook Data Stolen Kind Of Worth It To Watch That Little Fucker Squirm". Factor in the political aspect, and I do think that probably sums up the situation pretty well. By the political aspect, I mean to say that I think a lot of the outrage is also geared again not around the behavior itself, but who that behavior may have benefited.

The issue is that if people are not upset at the behavior itself and in a vacuum, then nothing will change. And I really don't think they are. Facebook was revealed to be literally conducting psychological experiments on users without their consent, making their feed more negative or more positive just to see what would happen, and when the next shiny news bit came along - nobody cared anymore.

That all said, I completely and absolutely hope I'm wrong. But I do not think I am.

Yes. R is horrible.
The newspapers and magazines have had advertisements for at least the last two centuries to help subsidize the cost of the subscription. If you had to pay full price for a subscription, you probably wouldn't have it because the publisher couldn't afford it.

And likely even if you paid for a subscription to a magazine, your name and address was sold to marketers to sell you direct mail. And this ended up in someone's database, who resold it to advertisers time and time again.

Cook's Illustrated is an example of a magazine that doesn't sell ads. But the cost per issue is higher and the number of pages is lower. Also most of the magazine is usually printed in black and white to save publishing costs.

The question I ask myself constantly, is do I want to end up being advertised to (Google, Facebook), or do I want to end up being part of someone's brand (Apple, Nike)?

This study showed, though, that 0-100g of alcohol per week is somewhat safe. That makes the safe upper limit about a wine bottle per week, or a single beer every day.

The problem alcohol shares with other hard narcotics, of course, is that tolerance builds up and the consumption has a tendency to grow.

Can confirm. I’m in a similar boat.

Some other tidbits of information:

- only thing that seemed to work even after TMS and other treatments.

- New pathways (SF and San Mateo locations) is really good.

- more and more treatment places opening up in different cities etc.

- uber assist or drive the patient home (full lucidity afterwards but you don’t want to drive).

- long-term benefits aren’t apparent after the first two treatments. After the third it seemed to last for 2-3 days. After the fourth longer.

- it really seems like a ‘break out of depression’ breakthrough treatment. Though no cure all (talk therapy or a good support system is important too).

- ketamine is used for many purposes (anesthesia, etc.). When given for depression it’s given in much low dosages (presumably without harmful liver or kidney side effects).

- usually the patient listens to music with headphones while the infusion is in progress.

- a nurse monitors BP and heart rate etc., but so far there have been no compications other than a nurse who was bad at putting in an IV (once).

- feel very thankful for it.

- I could see it going mainstream in the near future.

> does ensure that it is only bought by people with the most sedate driving habits.

I would disagree with that statement!

As an urban cyclist the two most terrifying vehicles on the road for me are the XC90 and the VAG PL71 ( Q7, Touareg, Cayenne ) not only because of their size but also because they are predominently driven by distracted parents on the school-run.

Two tonnes of SUV, poor outward visibility, stressed driver looking for a parking spot on the kerb, kids bickering in the back == danger.

I can understand parents buy them to keep their little darlings safe from the other nasty cars but I'd much rather jostle with twice as many normal-sized sedans.

Volvo's stated goal is:

"Vision 2020 is about reducing the number of people that die or are seriously injured in road traffic accidents to zero. "[1]

As sceptical as I am about corporate statements, you can see that Volvo is steadily working on this. They don't do splashy announcements or announce revolutions in driving, and yet they bring more and more changes and improvements to their cars. From assisted braking to lane assist to blind spot information to city collision avoidance to many many other small and big improvements.

Ketamine is an anesthetic. Has anyone compared it to e.g. ibuprofen for this use case? Ibuprofen works very well for me when experiencing depressive symptoms. I'm down to about 2h max per depressive episode (logged at 10-30 depressing thoughts per minute, compared to none after). Mechanism intuitively "feels" inflammatory and looking at my logs seems related to exhaustion due to over-productivity, lack of rest, etc.
My relative owns one. The Adaptive cruise control only picks up moving cars in front of you and tries to kill you when there’s a stopped car in front of you, say at a red traffic light.

Very few countries are genuinely alcohol-free, many things happen underground, and with unsanitized liquors.

Also, I wonder whether less alcohol drives global happiness up or down. Alcohol is a depression factor but could help creating bonds, massively, at a corporate or national level – so, live slightly shorter but happier?
Our two cars both have decent autonomous breaking tech. They did activate in actual risks a couple of times. At least once one prevented a certain crash. They act up rarely. Just some anectodes;

One of them thinks I will drive into a wall when I’m approaching a 90degree turn with a wall. Does the break check from time to time. Nothing weird at high speeds for now.

Other had a single break check at high speed, there was nothing in front so the sensors somehow messed up I guess. It braked for something like 100ms, at least it felt like that. Then kept driving normally. But even that was scary.

From my research on the subject, ketamine bladder only happens if to chronic, long term users using several grams a week.

Most of the studies of using ketamine to treat depression are using under 1 gram per month.

Infrequent use of ketamine (less than once a week, less than 1 g), whether medical or recreational has no negative side effects.

It's also unknown whether it's actually caused by ketamine, or by whatever is being used to cut street ket.
> First rule of winter driving is don't touch the brake

That doesn't sound right. Pretty much all cars today have ABS, which should make sure that you don't lose traction.

When I first drove a car with ABS in winter I was amazed how well the breaks worked in bad conditions -- of course the car would take a lot longer to come to a stop, but it did come to a stop.

I know a bunch of people (mostly gamers) who refuse to upgrade from Windows 7 to 8 or 10, mostly because of usability and privacy concerns.

Eventually, they'll have to (DirectX 12, but I'm sure there's a ton of APIs for non-games as well and drivers will stop being updated for Win7).

But if ReactOS can reach a level of maturity and compatibility to please such people, there's a sizeable niche there of people who:

1. won't switch away from Windows to Linux or BSD,

2. but would be willing to adopt a familiar and compatible operating system.

Perhaps there is a systematic undervaluing of more polished, robust custom solutions by excel users across the world. That could be the case.
