Maybe if GP had said "extreme poverty" it would have been more true.

The world has lots of poverty, but we are on track to rid ourselves of extreme poverty. Hopefully, it'll keep going up from there...

The family didn't lose the money, the company did. They should re-imburse the family since they never paid them in the first place.
It's complicated. I think we have a few layers of feedback loops here.

While the alt-right is scarier and more viscerally dangerous there is a bit of a "negativity laser" phenomenon going on here. The far left and far right are each others' bogey men and thus are driving each other off the deep end. I'm not saying they'll stop if we hug them but I'm saying that directly attacking them might give them more energy. The real danger is that their dangerous nuttery will drive liberals into nutty territory themselves as a counter-reaction (and vice versa... that's how a laser works).

Meanwhile we are neglecting the economic issues and those are IMHO the real cause. This kind of xenophobic hate stuff always comes up when people feel economic hardship. Scarcity triggers atavistic tribal "band together and raid the neighboring tribe" behavior patterns. Our brain stems don't know what century this is.

The Nazis came to power during a deep economic crisis, remember? The irony is that neglecting the economic underpinnings of this to focus on the social issues is creating precisely the environment that led to the rise of fascism the last time around.

Edit: I'm also not advocating accepting fringe racists, just not expending too much energy fighting them directly (which feeds them) and instead re-focusing that energy on asking "what happened in 1973 and how can we fix it?" What's kind of interesting about that graph I posted is that there is a ground zero. Whatever went wrong went wrong in 1973 plus or minus a year or two. If we can fix that I really think the Nazis will go back in their holes. People only listen to that kind of craziness when they feel desperate and they feel like the system has failed them.
Yeah, that's gonna be seriously annoying. :/

I have a 2016 launch MBP Touchbar and work in an extremely dusty office, and have had no issues with the keyboard. I also have a light touch when typing. I suspect that the real issue may be typing force or maybe typing force + contaminants. By design, this keyboard has lower tolerances, so Apple was kind of asking for it here. I'm not a fan of the design and feel it sacrificed keyfeel and reliability for a few mm that most people don't care about.
"Nature of Life (we are still nowhere near understanding how it arose or how living organisms work in all their intricate detail)."

Not only that, but do you have an existence before you are born?

This might be a religious question to some, or perhaps involve a religious answer, but religion need not be involved. It's possible that in some not yet understood way an individual might exist before they're born and are somehow incarnated or embodied in to matter or the world as we know it when they're born.

Sure, it might sound kooky or something that science might never be able to answer (or maybe it could, who knows?). But the point is that that's all part of the mystery of life, and the answer could be a metaphysical or ontological one, not necessarily a religious one.

Another question regarding the nature of life is what exactly does it take to go from a non-living substance to a living one. In some way this is a question of definitions (which is difficult enough and controversial enough on its own), but even given an agreed-upon definition of life, it might not be clear how exactly the process from non-living to living take place, or at which point the non-living becomes living.
Retention metrics should tell us something about this, right? If someone does a job for a few months to a year they should have a good handle on whether or not they've lost money.
A sad update about a scissors maker that went viral
> In this grep scenario it's probably not a security issue, but it can produce confusing results for the user if nothing else.

I tried to think of an example where it could create a problem and the best I could do so far is injecting -f /sensitive-file/that-the-user/otherwise-cannot-read, supposing that mydir contains instances of the sensitive things, or that the contents of mydir are under the user's control.

So for example, suppose that the user has SFTP access to upload stuff to mydir, and suppose that there's a file /etc/spynames containing a list of spies (but it's mode 660 so the user normally can't read it). Maybe the grep command gets run with user-provided input and with the same group as /etc/spynames, and so then the user could SFTP upload a file containing suspected spies, and then inject causing the execution of

/usr/bin/grep -R -f /etc/spynames mydir

The output will be lines that are also present in /etc/spynames.

Edit: apparently -f/etc/spynames will be parsed as -f /etc/spynames, and so it isn't even necessary to be able to inject a space. I bet some form of this attack works on hundreds of deployed Internet services.

I thought soundness (when it comes to statically-typed languages) means that the static type checker won't pass a program that would raise runtime type errors. Your comment (and Dart's website) was the first time I've read a claim of soundness by combining static type checker and runtime checks. Doesn't your definition mean that most type systems (even those of weakly and dynamically-typed languages) are sound. Even JS and PHP will eventually give up and give you a type error. Can't think languages other than C (which might give you segfaults or whathaveyou) that won't fit that definition of soundness.

Sincere question, what am I getting wrong?

Running servers (and services) well is not trivial
In both Gluon and Haskell, functions without arguments can be represented as functions over the unit type:

f: () -> SomeType

which can be called via:

f ()

There are examples of this in the Gluon book (http://gluon-lang.org/book/syntax-and-semantics.html). There are no syntax-related difficulties at all here. This is also how it's done in OCaml and related languages.

(Note: This is (basically) useless in Haskell, since laziness makes this have the same semantics as a constant:

f :: SomeType

But since Gluon is strict, there's a pretty important difference between the two.)
In their shoes I would take both PEXA and the conveyancer to court because I wasn't paid, including all damages resulting from the loss of funds.

I get that they pretend that they're not liable but they are only not liable if a judge agrees with them.
"I would bump the origin of the universe to the top, because no matter what universe-generating physics you come up with I can always ask, "but what set things up to work that way?""

Except that it might not be possible to get outside of consciousness to have any testable way of explaining what set it up to be that way.

It seems that we are hard-limited by our consciousness, and have no way of going outside of it to peek at "the universe" beyond.
'even Perl5'?
Perl5 has also 'use strict' which ensure that variables ate declared before usage, a feature that Python doesn't have AFAIK.

Ever heard of the Pentagon Papers?
"how is death misunderstood?"

Can one survive death in some way? (for example, through having some sort of soul or other part of you that is separate from your body)

Is there an afterlife?

After you die, can you be reborn in another body?

All of these are mysteries that might never be resolved to the complete satisfaction of the living.

“They” as a singular, gender neutral, pronoun dates back to the 14th c. Practically every word you use postdates its use that way. The use of “literally” to mean “figuratively” is nearly as old.
Founded rigup.com to try address this issue. Improving the quality of the cement casing is a huge factor, along with hiring competent workers and scheduling inspections.

It all comes down to creating financial incentives. IIRC, Obama's proposed fracking regulation (that most presumed Hilary would run with) called for regular visits of sites. Sadly it never passed.

Once Trump undid the only thing Obama got through, federal land methane restrictions, companies had no incentive to worry anymore. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/12/climate/trump-methane-rul...

I've missed four Apple recalls (Mac, Apple TV, and two iPhones). What's the best way to keep up to date on them? Apple has never contacted me.
> If anything, the closest thing we have to data right now is what they say on their website: a small number of laptops have a malfunctioning keyboard. Is it even legal for them to say that if it really were most of them?

Is it legal to say that? It’s not a legal document so I would imagine so. I think it’s extremely misleading though. It’s clearly a defect in the keyboard itself or else Apple wouldn’t have issued a recall. It could just be that the people who haven’t been impacted have yet to get a crumb or spec of dust under a key.

My family and I have owned around 15 Macs over the last 20 years, and the 2016 MacBook Pro is by FAR the worst Apple computer I have ever owned. I can’t even think of another one that could even compete for that title.

Everyone I have spoken to who has a butterfly style MacBook (Pro) has also had problems with their keyboard.

My guess is that percentage wise when you compare the total number they have sold with the number that came in for repair it works out to a small percent, but that could also be because people live with the problem and don’t want to pay for a repair or give up their computer to Apple for a week to have it repaired.

I lived with my busted keyboard for about a year before finally bringing it in around a month ago to have it repaired.

Also keep in mind that a lot of people assume when technology is not working how they expect it to that it is something THEY are doing wrong (vs. a fault in the product or design) and they may be embarrassed to admit it or bring it in for repair.
Conflict requires two interests.
They _always_ say a "small number".
While I think it's an interesting argument, I don't agree that accepting that some other being than me can be conscious leads to having to accept the physical origin of consciousness a priori. If you look at Buddhism or any esoteric system, they essentially posit that consciousness is a unified field from which everything manifests, like light refracted through an (infinitely) complex array of lens. The spots of light where the light terminates look separate, but if you look at where the source of the light enters the lens, it all comes from a single source. The experience of having a separate consciousness and a body or mind or thoughts that I identify as me or an I that is not you or that car or that tree is essentially just an illusion because I don't have the awareness to be conscious of that unity. Just because something appears to be separate from one perspective doesn't mean that it's separate in reality, it's just that I experience it as separate due to my limited perspective. Consciousness is an experiential vehicle by nature. It doesn't slot into the scientific method all that well no matter how we try to cram it in.
Problem with utilizing datapoints like digital footprints is that it will run afoul equal credit opportunity act.

Do you connect with a 1200 baud acoustic coupler modem or are you average person who uses a fibre connection and off-the-shelf router?

Do you pump and sanitize your own water, or are you an average person who turns on the tap?

Calling people "average" for not using outdated and poorly designed applications that were written by 1 or 2 people in their spare time, versus applications and services designed by tens-to-hundreds of people, with the input of designers, UI and UX engineers, etc is moronic.

IRC, FTP, SMTP, Token Ring, etc are as good as they could have been at the time, but they are awful by modern standards. We should learn from them and design better successors.

Weird definition of a "journalistic entity" I don't think that any news source satisfies your requirement that it be complete non-partisan, even such a thing was even logically possible.
There was another article recently which argued that because there is a strong correlation between race and default rates, if you apply machine learning to a dataset, the algorithm will find a way to extract what is basically a proxy for the race from the data.

So basically any sort of ML applied to credit data will run afoul of the equal credit opportunity act.

The article also made the point that basically all ML credit scoring startups are illegal because of this, but they get away just because they are small and not on the radar.
Sounds good. Next, please define "change", and explain why or how "change" exists and is detectable by humans.

That's what Rovelli is investigating/theorizing about.

"I see time as simply the amount of change in reality we can perceptually sample."

So if there was no one to perceive the change, there'd be no time?

I just used oxiclean whitening for the first time and it made a bunch of white shirts (dress shirts and undershirts) look nearly new again. Pretty impressive stuff, and cheap too. Only downside is it made the fabric feel a little stiff and rough after drying. Next time I'll try a little vinegar in the rinse.

These questions are pretty firmly metaphysical, and there's no reason to expect science will ever have an answer. There are an infinite array of unanswerable questions about supernatural phenomena that have never been observed and probably never will.

The complaint is here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6359557/united-states-v...

Pages 3-6 detail the VM. Basically, they found a VM on his computer that was encrypted, with an encrypted file in it, that they unlocked with a password they found on his phone. In the encrypted (truecrypt) file, they found a large amount of what was unmistakenly CP. When they examined the file system, their claim is that there was evidence of a history of using that VM and moving those files around, etc., so it's not like they just appeared one day. Partial files that weren't deleted yet, caches, inode meta data, that sort of thing.

I mean, it's possible to fake, but it would be incredibly easy to fuck that up, and incredibly risky to get caught doing that. If they really wanted to make his life hell, there are easier, less risky, and even legal ways to do it without going to the effort to fabricate 8 years of computer usage that would withstand expert cross examination.

I'm not interested in your advice but I'm happy talk about the issues. That said, I'm not sure what you're saying or what you think I said.

Immigration is, I believe, a human right. It's liberty - liberty to travel, to make the most of yourself, and it's opportunity. People should be free to make the most of themselves. It's also economic freedom, which generally yields more productive economies for all.

For practical reasons, mostly to prevent the economic shocks of mass migrations, it needs to be somewhat limited and controlled. But I want the poorest, most oppressed people coming to my country; they are the ones who need freedom the most - the most marginal social and economic gain. I'm completely confident that they and their children will thrive and make my country better. And for practical and moral reasons, I'd like more diversity; the sooner we can do away with the dominance of any ethnic group, the sooner we can be rid of their BS bigotry, which is a drain on us all. (Imagine, for a moment, the world without bigots - so many problems solved.)

The gap is even greater in China, since China has a booming Internet industry, second only to the US, while its semiconductor industry is still in infancy and cannot survive without subsidies. My friend, who graduated with a degree in EE from Tsinghua University, lamented that almost none of her classmates stayed in EE fields. Note that Tsinghua University is the undisputed best Chinese university in engineering schools.

If everyone thought that way, the nothing would ever get done by the government.

Remember, privately developed options do exist. It’s just that the government crowds them out. (lotteries are a great example of this - I.e. no gambling .... unless we’re the house, then here, but this and gamble)

In my experience, you can make off by 1 or 2 errors when you accidently include 1 or 2 items in different groups of 5 at the same time. You end up with 25 when you should have ended up with 23. It may also happen that you don't include 1 or 2 items in the groups, because you thought you'd already included them, while visually scanning the area. When that happens, you end up with 25 when you should have ended with 27.

Yes. But the press didn't simply publish them in their entirety without comment or context, did they?

I understand people want to lionize Wikileaks and consider Julian Assange to be the modern day equivalent to Woodward and Bernstein, but to consider what they do journalism is to discredit journalism. There's a reason Edward Snowden went to the actual press and not Wikileaks.
