Other than the potential that the dead owner’s employer might have to give a breach notification, probably not HIPAA issues.

HIPAA restricts what health insurers and providers do with your data, but it doesn't restrict third parties from attempting to get information that the covered entities aren't allowed to give.
I'm not sure if your idea in particular is possible but who knows. There may be fundamental limits to speeding up computation based speculative look-ahead not matter how many parallel tracks you have and it may run into memory through-put issues.

But take a look at the MOG code and see what you can do.

It is also quite a dangerous precedent, considering he was killed by the police.

"Motors are relatively easy, just use a wrench to put the wheel in place".

This is only true if you find the right type of motor, which is not easy at all IMHO.
It is truly better. Objective metrics (such as word error rate) don't lie. You can argue whether it makes sense to use, say, 100x compute to get 2x less error, but that's a different argument; I don't think anyone is really disputing improved quality.
I'd wager that the intersection of the sets of people who knew they were going to win the Pulitzer and the people who knew she was anywhere near the event was entirely empty.
NYTimes is my other national subscription...but I didn't mention them because I'm a bit more ambivalent about them. I'm uncomfortable with how eager they've been to support war; not just the Iraq war, when they published a number of falsehoods that helped sell the war, but more recently as well (even while publishing a bunch of "mea culpa" articles about their role in selling the falsehoods that led to the Iraq war). The Times seemingly never met a foreign war they didn't like.

They also have a history of compromising the integrity of their stories or editorial pages to suit the government (e.g. WRT the Snowden leaks, and war coverage) or corporations (e.g. on climate change). I still think they're a top-tier organization in the field, certainly above 99% of everything else out there, I just wish I could trust them more. That they're great 99 times out of 100 doesn't mean it's not really frustrating when their rare fuck ups are so monumental and occasionally disastrous in their outcome (Iraq war, President Trump; NYTimes didn't cause either problem, but they helped).
I go 40 km/h regularly on one of these things, it feels slower than it sounds. I've also fallen at that speed, wearing no protective gear other than a helmet. Not the end of the world, no different than when I fell off a roadbike going roughly the same speed.

If you're worried about scrapes throw on a motorcycle jacket. But if you know how to fall, 40-50km/h is manageable without gear -- aside from the mandatory helmet.
It makes sense to me. A formalised quoting mechanism is a recipe for everyone quoting everyone else, resulting in 50-70% of the words on screen being redundant and pointless.

This is par for the course in most other forums.
> those connections were supposed to subvert and tear down the systems of centralized authority and information control set up by governments and the media

...even when those systems would help. The problem isn't just that we've "replaced one set of suits with another", but that this new set doesn't care enough to actually use their power. Throughout this Sri Lanka saga, for example, Facebook didn't have either an office in the country or any Sinhalese-speaking moderators, and didn't respond to the government's appeals until, a week or two into the violence, they blocked Facebook and suddenly the company realized its precious market share was in danger.
A unique index in Postgres is an efficient set data structure.

A sorted set is a index in Postgres, stored as a B-Tree.

Postgres has hash indexes, basically the same as a hash table.

And you can run Postgres in memory if you want via tmpfs.

Bitmaps and hyperloglogs are basically math functions running in the database, and Postgres supports user-defined math functions. It seems disingenuous to point out individual math functions when both databases support arbitrary user defined math functions.

The experience of the subject is linked directly to obvious perception. If it isn't affecting perception, it's not affecting experience! It could affect other things, like your liver or whatever, but it really does need to affect your perception in order to have the benefits people claim microdosing has, which are all linked to moment-to-moment experience.
> They also force people together who can't be 'openly' tolerant of each other, and makes their existence hard to ignore for their enemies, Yes, lots of people in real life have 'abhorrent' views, but said views don't travel beyond people that agree with said views. Social media sites push said views in everyone's faces.

Actually, if you read through this story, that is the exact opposite of the truth. Facebook connected only people who held the same abhorrent views - aka Sinhala-speaking people primed to believe conspiracy theories about the Tamil Muslim minority. They were telling stories about groups they couldn't tolerate, not actually interacting with them.

In the San Diego beach and North Park areas Bird, Lime bike, Ofo introduced their on-demand transport almost simultaneously. It's been a bit of a shock to the system when walking and being passed by electric scooters. Then you find Bird, Lime, and Ofo's left around in the neighborhoods for days until they're picked up by sub-contractors for re-charging and re-positing. Perhaps we'll get used to it. For the moment, it's making things a bit messy around town. The police are cracking down on the boardwalk for Bird riders without helmets and I'd expect that to get worse as the tourist season heats up. I don't see these useful services going away.

EDIT: Another thing this article makes me think about:

If you're interested in redirected walking, you might also be interested in the CyberMotion simulator [0]. I had the chance to see it in action when attending IEEE VR 2018. It's for motion sickness research, and it allows for mapping arbitrary motion into a limited robotic range of motion, in order to give a realistic sense of acceleration in different directions to the user.

Peer pressure? Family pressure? "If you loved your family, you would do this for them."

The U.S. government keeps trying to force people in poverty to make harder decisions to be able to use the safety net. Is it so hard to imagine that someday one of the requirements would be subjecting yourself to experimental tests?

Those are just two ideas off the top of my head. I'm not a fan of slippery slope arguments, but this does seem like a Pandora's box worth looking very carefully at before opening.
I don't fully agree with the article. As someone who has gamed in front of many audiences before, it can absolutely make you screw up. Specifically when it mentions performing well in front of an audience acting as sort of a mental stimulant for reward. I think it also depends heavily on where the audience is. If I'm in say a room with just my team and sound proof headphones, you are way more focused and play more like you normally would. If someone is standing over your shoulder, you start to do things you wouldn't normally do, whether it be to speed up the match to not bore the observer, to try an hit a cool shot, etc. The nature of the action being done has to be one of the most influential factors. In a gaming environment where no two matches are ever the same, you can't go off of rehearsed actions because they won't work in all scenarios. Therefor, when in new situations where you're trying to adapt on the fly, that's when you start trying to get fancy for the audience and ultimately make sloppy mistakes. However, if it were something that you can use rehearsed actions on, like coding, then the pressure might not be as intense as to make you mess up.
> Just to be clear, I was and am talking about the actual thugs who attacked you, not the train attendants or Amtrak etc.

Sure - me too.

> when your job is to directly terrorize and rob people for a mere paycheck, I think one's Nuremberg defense has gone out the window.

Yeah, agreed. I don't want to make excuses for these people or understate their wrongs. They sucked. And they owe me and my family and everybody they've terrorized an apology. I don't have high hopes that it will come.

> Sure, we can describe this as mental illness and hope to heal their brain damage - and I look forward to us ever having the luxury of being in that position.

I don't know your situation, but I can tell you that I'm exactly in that position. Unlike a poor brown person who behaves exactly as I have during my life, I am not in a cage, nor do I estimate that the government has the political capital to mess with me very much. They're much, much weaker than we think.

Not only am I in a more comfortable and privileged position than people who are more seriously victimized by this system, I'm also in a more comfortable and privileged position than the people who are tasked with doing the victimizing. I count my blessings that I have never been so sick or desperate as to take such a job.

> Alas, all we can do for now is cope.

...and I acknowledge that my somewhat passive attitude in response is itself a coping mechanism.

Nevertheless, I think that for compassion and peace to become the true orders of the day in the information age, we must never lose track of our empathy for the agents of our oppression.
Ok, but respect of disrespect is not the same as desecration, which is what was being argued. Just because we don’t like something does not mean we dress it up as something else.
That may be the case for Burma, but in this case the government was trying to halt said inflammatory content.

Facebook policy, however, doesn't care about the differences; it just wants to do whatever requires the least effort while maintaining high market share.
God, that's awful. They said that they won't withdraw it because he didn't deliberately attempt to deceive anyone... that is their standard?

That's not how it works. It's almost all entrainment and very little Bernoulli effect. The proof lies in symmetric wings, which generate no lift but still entrain air. Einstein famously designed what he thought should be a very good wing based on the Bernoulli principle, and it turned out to not work, and if you look at it[0] you'll see why...

Thank you.

I suspect it's probably because the exceptions to the rule bump privacy violations to the top of the news by a very vocal and outraged minority. But if you consider the magnitude of personal data the police must have access to on a daily basis that is kept secure and confidential and eventually destroyed compared to the occasional news story we hear about, they're doing a much better job than we give them credit for.

Also - as IT people, I bet the majority of us have access to a huge amount of personal data on a daily basis as well. I would absolutely say the majority of us treat this data with respect and circumspection and that only a tiny few don't.

Please don't mistake me for a police apologist, I'm well aware of their capabilities and actions, especially border police, but the polarising us vs them culture separates us and makes us disempowered victims. If you genuinely, honestly care about data privacy and the privacy of those you communicate with, use encryption.

That first sentence is an absolute moral position without any real justification, and the second is factually questionable.

Shutting down certain communications channels, or removing specific messages from them, can absolutely change behavior. Just like social media can drive a revolution, it can drive any collective action, including negative ones.
It sounds like maybe you do have empathy? Experiencing some level of suffering when you witness someone else's suffering would be empathy. Sociopaths do not experience this. From my understanding, the part of the brain that processes pain and fear is much smaller or nonexistent in sociopaths, so they couldn't feel bad even if they wanted to.

There is another thing called compassion which is generally wishing others to be well and giving people a break. Most people don't have much compassion as it somewhat goes against the human instinct to compete with others and do what is best for yourself. That being said, compassion can be directly developed through loving-kindness meditation, if you're motivated to become more compassionate. I personally also find that developing an understanding of evolutionary psychology and doing mindfulness meditation can also lead to more compassion as it leads to more understanding of how we are all, for the overwhelming majority of our conscious lives where we are not being mindful, slaves to whatever thoughts and feelings happen to be arising at any given moment. Some of us are lucky and don't experience much in the way of negative feelings or thoughts, some of us aren't so lucky. Either way, realizing that a lot of life comes down to the luck of the draw is a powerful realization that can lead to more compassion. This i feel is another reason why some of us lack compassion - if we're successful, we have some understanding of what set of actions we did that lead us to be successful. But no one ever sits there and thinks about all the things that didn't happen to them that would have lead to a worse outcome (of which there are infinitely many), so when we see another person who isn't succeeding we may just assume they are lazy or don't care without actually bothering to understand what is holding them back.

> Has Facebook conducted such studies.

I strongly doubt it. I suspect they have a system that measures "engagement" with individual posts and promotes those that score highly, and it just so happens that those tend to be hateful or tribal ones.

I must unreservedly restate, Buddhism is sexist. This is not a casual statement. I retort that anyone that considers otherwise has not seriously studied Buddhism.

The full name is the "Yerkes-Dodson Law of Social Facilitation." It's this idea that a task requires an optimal amount of nervous system arousal. Too much and you get jittery, too little and you get lethargic. So it looks like an inverted U with the optimal performance at a middle level of arousal.

Although you're right it's more complicated. If you're an expert at a task, then you do better if you have increased arousal. This is because stress hormones cause new synaptic production to slow down and old networks/circuits to increase in their conduction/strength. So if you're an NBA player, and it's the playoffs, you're going to be better than normal - because you're an expert at the task.

If however the task is 'complex' (like, say, software development) then if you put pressure on people (or if they're putting pressure on themselves), the performance falls significantly. I forgot the name of the study, but this was shown cross-culturally. They gave poor Indian men (in India) 3-months salary to solve a decently straight forward lateral thinking puzzle. The men who got paid performed way worse, then the other men who weren't paid at all.

Sometimes that strikes me as oddly familiar. Paying someone to do something they love and putting too much pressure on them makes their performance degrade.
Similar packaging and probably marketing to fein gear.... Fancy case and some pretty looking tools but tbh I don't see that piece of equipment ever making it into the workshop and it barely looks like it would survive a week on-site too. 2500 dollary doos is pretty damned expensive for what looks to be a damned fragile bit of gear with very little use.

Like the biggest problem to making cuts with a router is that it grabs and pulls and goes off direction. Having a little map of where your "supposed to go" isn't going to prevent this.. So I see this thing doing nothing to make your job's/cuts more accurate. Yes it maps it for you...but so does a projector and a pencil and then your not limited to the size or shape of the router...just the skill of the operator.

If it was priced say...450 or maaaaaaaaaaaaybe 750 aud? It would possibly get a look in? I get a makita for like 200 bucks that will take a thrashing on site and a dewalt for like 600 if you want a few extra ponies under the bonnet. But christ...2500 dollary doos. I can buy half a chippies work truck for that! In the famed words of the castle "tell em' he's dreamin!"
