Okay I accept your compatibilist definition that actions are done with free will despite being part of a causal chain. Congratulations, you won the language game, and can proceed to claim we agreed free will is real. You now have as much free will as a rock rolling down a hill.

> If you choose to define an action as representing free will only if it is uncaused then first, you've made up a definition entirely at odds with the normal English usages

I was trying to be precise, and assumed you agree that something that's part of a causal chain cannot be reasonably be called "free" by any common sense definition. You can't change the past after all, can you? If not then you're a product of circumstance just like everything else in the universe.
Yes. Believe me, I tried everything.

Also, IIRC, while fat doesn't produce a ghrelin response, protein still does.
What about the pragmatists?
I'm curious, how do you define "area"? How long does water have to travel before its no longer in the "area"?

How do you classify rivers? Water falls one place, and rivers direct it elsewhere, sometimes hundreds of miles away from where it first fell. Presumably these nearby rivers are still in area, even though the water flowing in them did not originate in area.

For example, SF gets its water from a reservoir in the Sierras, 150 miles away. Much of California gets its water from just a couple places: the Colorado river (which runs along the border) and Northern California (and much of "Northern California" gets its water from More-Northern California).

Some people who live in the southwestern deserts live closer to their water source than people in SF.
This is marketing hype.

Apple’s commits to the LLVM (where the shader gets compiled into GPU executable code) states the A11 GPU target is “PowerVR Rogue” ISA. Which is identical to how it compiles for the A10.

So it’s still using foreign IP for the instruction set. Maybe Apple moved things around/optimized internals? Get better path optimization, or improve IPC?

But it’s weird they didn’t add optimizations specifically for that A11. So an A10/A11 GPU just run the same opcodes.
There are many phone-sized objects, though. It's not so much that you buy pants to fit just your phone, as that you buy pants that are functional according to the current expectations of society on what you should be carrying around with you; and clothiers also take this into account and make most pants with pockets large-enough to fit those same expected accessories.

I mean, I do approach the problem from the other direction as well; one reason I don't buy a phone that's approaching phablet size (other than not being able to hold the things in one hand) is that it wouldn't fit in the pockets of most pants, greatly narrowing the range of pants I could wear (or necessitating an—admittedly probably cheap—tailoring to add deeper pockets.)

But as it stands, I'm not limiting myself much—my phone is only slightly larger than my wallet, so I'm just avoiding clothes that not only wouldn't fit a phone, but wouldn't fit a wallet. There aren't that many pants (for men, at least) that have pockets that small/shallow/tight.

Even if your team is totally on board with your style guide, everyone wants to stay pep8/257 compliant, no arguments, you use linters to warn about errors, etc. you will still have some instances of people committing code that breaks the guidelines.

Either it gets caught in code review and you have to waste time with nitpicking, or worse it makes it through to the repo and now you have to make a commit to fix what amounts to a typo.

Autoformatting with a unified, consistent tool means that you remove all those problems.
Having ridden both fixies and unicycles, the example makes total sense. "It's like a pennyfarthing" works too. The issue is that examples are meant to leverage the recipients intuition. Very few people have intuition for unicycles and pennyfarthings, so the examples fall flat.

That said, "It's like a children's unicycle" would probably count as a valid example too, and refers to something people may have intuition for. But it may also stress the wrong parts of the example. We want to convey the sense of direct drive, not circus prop.
If you run a free website that depends on targeted ads to make money, you might want to expand to the EU but now you'd need to totally change your business model to do so. For some that would basically mean inventing a new company because their service is not the type people would pay for. So in this case, it may not be worth it.
> Linux dropped the cost of using UNIX down to zero.

"Linux is only free if your time has no value."

I've been using it personally and professionally for over 20 years now. Unless you're specifically using the term "cost" to mean solely money, it is in no conceivable way without cost. There is, for example, a significant cognitive burden involved in keeping up with the ceaseless parade of travesties committed by people trying to "make things better" in Linux, who instead just compromise the system for those of us who disagree with their notions of betterness.

I'm reminded entirely too much by some corners of the Linux community of Apple's "We know what users want, and give it to them good and hard" attitude.
Is your colleague a coffee drinker? It's common for muslims who regularly consume caffeine to go through withdrawal the first week of fasting. This can cause excessive tiredness and headaches. Also during Ramadan its common to make longer prayers at night, which can disrupt sleep.

Personally I just make sure I get enough sleep (even by taking naps during lunch) and taper off caffeine before Ramadan starts, and then I feel just as productive in Ramadan while fasting vs not.
> if we're going to have to make up a definition of free will we might as well

So we've begged the question.

To me, the way this is worded, it lays bare that compatibilism is about the ethics of 'free-will' and not its ontology. It's a completely different discussion and somewhat counterproductive.
I know this sounds extreme but you could always go with the good old approach of charging users money for provided goods and services, instead of monetizing their data or throwing ads at them.
It's not unusual for people to refer to "illegals".
I’ve built Fog[1] which is an Overcast[2] wrapper for macOS. I started it because I wanted to listen to podcasts on the Desktop but also wanted to control playback via media keys. I’ve since added a few more features.

I’ve made SandwichTimer[3] because no other pomodoro timer did what I wanted — to be minimally controllable via the CLI (so I could do it from Alfred[4], without needing the mouse) and to show the remaining time just as minutes (seconds are distracting, and a pie isn’t accurate enough). Since I also frequently needed regular timers and needed to use the phone for those, I’ve baked that in as well.

PinPlus[5] because I wanted a simple app to add Pinboard[6] bookmarks that looked good and I could dismiss with ⎋.

Sacar Musak[7] not for me, but for my friends that want to download videos from Youtube and kept downloading shady apps I did not trust.

I have a ton more in the form of CLI tools, but the apps I use most frequently are the Alfred Workflows I’ve made[8].

> San Francisco supports transportation innovation, but it cannot come at the price of public safety,” Herrera said. “This permit program represents a thoughtful, coordinated and effective approach to ensure that San Francisco strikes the right balance. We can have innovation, but it must keep our sidewalks safe and accessible for all pedestrians.

This. Exactly. In the past week alone, I've been witness to, or victim in, 3 pedestrian safety incidents. In the first one, a dude and a lady companioned were riding the "Bird"s and turned into the sidewalk I was walking on (Fillmore Street) and crashed into me. They awkwardly apologized and were gone, didn't even bother to see if I was injured. In another incident on Market and 1st (going towards the bay bridge) a scooter "Parked" on the sidewalk was blown from the wind and had falled on the sidewalk ramp. Saw an old black lady in a wheel chair struggling to get around it to get on the sidewalk. The 3rd was a Muni driver honking at 2 riders who were bank in the middle of the road on Howard St going towards the Ferry Building. He almost crashed the bus into them.

While I'm all for innovation, it cannot come at the cost of pedestrian safety. Even if these startups meant for their scooters to be riden on the road, and not the sidewalk (It's ILLEGAL to ride a motorized vehicle on the sidewalk of San Francisco[1] ) only a small minority of the riders seem to be following it. I've seen so many riding it on the sidewalks.

A built a free password helper for iOS because I’ve accepted that password reuse sucks, but so do traditional password managers. So this app takes snippets from valid site information and uses a secure hash algorithm which creates a binary, which I map to an string of ascii values to generate a password. It includes a per site salt and a device specific code to counter reverse engineering attempts. The salt can be which whatever you want, and you must remember a final passphrase (if you use one) to get the passwords regenerated. You have to kind of keep track of the length of these generated passwords yourself, because it’s truncated for differing password lengths. Anyway, on the whole imho it’s more secure than many a password manager on the market, save that it’s still new and requires use of copy/paste buffers. But, all of that is of course predicated on using the tool correctly, and using caution with passwords, which you should do anyway.

The App is DyfynderX if you’re interested. The name comes from dyfnder, which is the Welsh word for depth.

Absolutely. In order for fluidic devices to function you have to vent fluid to ground. For pneumatic devices this is typically the surrounding air. This should produce an acoustic signal that can be detected. However, one could operate such a system in a closed loop manner to prevent this where in all the ground vents feed back into the pump supplying the circuits. However, there are still likely to be load variations that could be detected.
But I wonder what changed since last week because those compliance concerns were just as valid last week. Or do you mean to imply the company knowingly broke the law for a couple of years just because they could?

You keep repeating this on various threads, but it's not a good argument.

It's obvious: for companies that are now blocking EU users, they weren't in compliance or blocking before because the law wasn't being enforced. Hence the cost / benefit tradeoff was different. Now that possible enforcement is on the table, the calculation has changed. It's pretty simple.

For companies who were ignoring before and ignoring now, nothing has changed. They are either taking a huge risk or are correct in assuming that there's no enforcement mechanism, so they don't need to worry about it.
In the mid-term I'm glad to be subsidised by American users who forego their privacy and are willing to get served a lot of ads.

In the long term I would be happier if we'd all be treated with equally high privacy standards and pay for the content we consume. For that to happen we only need one thing, Americans and their legislators need to start valuing their privacy too.

I won't DV anyone. I use an addon that hides the down arrows. [0]

I suppose when I asked the question, I am assuming internet businesses for the most part don't isolate themselves to a specific region, so their reply probably makes more sense for the businesses that operate in a small locality. Perhaps they have such a business. I should have considered that prior to asking.

Where this might start to get interesting is if people use infrastructure that is in multiple regions and that infrastructure provider has an agreement to block companies that do not comply. So if AWS for example had such an agreement, then non compliant companies could find their sites broken, even if they are only hosted in the U.S., not that this would ever happen, but it could.

Walmart carries organic produce, free range eggs, Dave's Power Seed, hormone free milk and whatnot. A shopper can put them in the same cart as their eighty cent Great Value Mac and Cheese and a box of Strawberry Pop Tarts. And Walmart will gladly take their money without judgment.

Walmart's business wasn't built on selling to low income people. It is built on selling to everyone in places like Fort Stockton, Texas. The person renting a dilapidated trailer and the rancher with 150,000 acres of cattle and oil leases both shop there because there aren't a lot of other practical options short of driving to El Paso. Not saying that there's not a significant difference in branding, but a lot of that difference is that Whole Foods brand images for people who are offended by Pop Tarts and HFCS on "their" store's shelves. On the other hand, Walmart's potential customer base is anyone who is not offended by shopping at Walmart for the vastest majority of grocery purchases.

You hear wildly different takes on this depending on the source. Troy hunt had a (now seemingly deleted) article where he claimed you have to be targeting EU users specifically, ie offering products in a european currency, EU domain, eu language (other than english).

Dropping a IP block on the EU seems to be a pretty clear indication that you arent targeting EU users.

> Alexa’s Interface is treated as revolutionary
> ...it had a lot more in common with an Amazon Echo than a robot in an old sci-fi film

While yeah, these old robots could in theory do more than an echo watch some of the videos of them in operation (eg: https://youtu.be/oibgyqdXfJM).

Just take the voice on that youtube video, while impressive for the 80's is no comparison to Alexa's voice. It is very slow and has a thick robot accent. Alexa has a much more dynamic, fluid voice that is much easier to understand.

And yeah, I'm sure some of these things could be commanded by voice, I imagine that you have to be extremely precise with what you say and how you say it. I imagine the error rate is way higher than Alexa (which in my experience is pretty high itself).

I dunno where I'm going with this comment, but the interface matters. It's easy to claim "they were doing all this shit back in the 80's" and it might be technically true, but how they were doing it didn't have nearly as much polish as modern stuff. When you have a 4mhz processor and 64k of ram, there is only so much polish you can add to an 80's robot. The echo dot has a quad core processor and 4gb of ram -- not to mention wifi, bluetooth and gps (https://www.digikey.com/en/maker/blogs/2017/amazon-echo-dot-...). You can add a lot of polish to a hardware stack like that.

Of course, even with all that processing power, I'm still only about 50% successful turning the lights on at home. We still have a long ways to go....

>That said, drones are not ideal for replacing aircraft in the large scale mapping.

You are comparing consumer drones to airplanes. A quick google search tells me you can pick up a drone with over an hour of flight-time for 3.5k-ish (I don't know much about drone pricing so someone may have better options)

Another quick google search tells me cheaper planes go from 25k (crappy) to 40k (reasonable)

You can purchase 10 drones for the price of one airplane. Which I can't imagine an airplane could out map/survey 10 drones working together. I don't know much about drones or planes though so there are probably other restrictions.
"If you're California you regulate stuff. It's what you do"

<insert car insurance sales pitch here>

Why couldn't the city couldn't just impound and auction scooters, bikes, skateboards, shopping carts that are parked illegally? They almost certainly can do this under one of the bajillion existing statutes. Don't want you crap stolen by the government, don't let your users park it in dumb places. As I understand it riding a scooter on the sidewalk is already illegal. I don't see how this is any different from bike sharing other than the form factor making them more tempting to ride on the sidewalk.

An IP address is not regular PII, its 'linked PII'. It must be collected in conjunction with information that can identify a user to fall under GDPR, an ip on its own is worthless. If an IP address allows you to link information from HTTP logs with a user database that does have PII, then the ip address is part of the PII. If you aren't collecting any actual identifying information, then an ip is fine.

contrariwise:

That is not such a terrible outcome, but neither is it an especially good outcome. The quality of my e-mails and public speaking is, in my view, nowhere near that of my novels. So for me it comes down to the following choice: I can distribute material of bad-to-mediocre quality to a small number of people, or I can distribute material of higher quality to more people. But I can’t do both; the first one obliterates the second.
