> The way architects think, it's considered more convincing to use materials honestly than to dress them up or conceal them

That's not the way that architects think, it's a common current design fashion (and what we are discussing is interior design, not really architecture.)

> So painting or otherwise decorating acoustic tiles is not an attractive option.

It's absolutely an attractive option if naked elements don't support the ambience the occupant of the space wants. Which is why, despite the current popularity of the bare-services look, it is far from universal even in current (re)designs of spaces.

> The exposed ductwork thing is about not concealing (potentially messy) services.

Yes, and that design trend is fairly recent, especially in it's application to dining establishments.

> It's not just a fashion,

Yes, it is.

> it's a kind of moral imperative,

That's not as much of a difference as you seem to think: morality is in a very real sense just behavioral aesthetics; the broad outlines of morality may be fairly slow preferences to change, but you can find fairly slow to change elements in most domains of aesthetic. The attractiveness of the raw industrial look in interior design, however, is not among them, no matter how one might dress it up in language of morality.
Meyer Sound has a system called Constellation that as they put it "balances the buzz of a lively room so patrons don’t have to raise their voices to converse comfortably over the din, and allows the staff to control the sound level as the room’s occupancy changes." Comal in Berkeley, where I live, was the first to install it and I can attest to its effectiveness. More on this here: https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/High-tech-system-let...
> In the Starbucks case, Mr. Amaya said that the court found the chain “just relied on the idea that a few minutes doesn’t mean anything, and the Court said that sort of attitude won’t fly in California.”

The decision's not too surprising, then. "No big deal" carries zero persuasive value: it only works as a supposed argument when the person hearing it already agrees.

While Starbucks had no problem stealing 4-10 minutes a day from the plaintiff for regularly scheduled closing tasks as a matter of policy, I somehow doubt they would've scoffed and hand-waved away him clocking in every day 10 minutes before he actually arrived.
It is really sad that no one comments here.

The frustration is that you just don't have a choice these days.

That's odd. Must be culture/country-dependent? Even in the relatively small town closeby (100k inhabitants) there's a choice of multiple small and not too expensive restaurants. Because of the size (max abot 20 to 30 people dining, plus no loud music) it never gets very loud. There's also a choice of quite expensive ones which, large or not, do take acoustics into account and hence remain comfortable.
Also not all toll networks are compatible. Congress set a mandate for the states to work together on it but they missed the deadline. Another deadline was set but it’s almost past that too.
> I feel like that's bordering on anecdote.

We can take a default view that what "a professor of behavioral science" calls an experiment is likely an experiment. Feels presented "without evidence or any elaboration" don't make it an anecdote.

The real answer would be to consult with an expert in the field over the details of this experiment.
You don't need to "edit zonefiles", and whether it's "logically removed" is kinda irrelevant?

You simply set up a dynamically updateable zone and then have the LE client call nsupdate, it couldn't be any easier, you don't even need sudo.

You could also delegate DNS for your MX to the MX itself, of course, then you'd have pretty much the same setup as with the HTTP server on the MX, just using a DNS server instead. But that's just too complicated, really, using dynamic DNS is flexible and allows you to easily add other services that need certificates on any machine whatsoever with no need to have an HTTP (or any other) server running on the machine reachable from the outside.
Do Things Right with TypeScript
Hm, I also seem to remember that German has a thinner dictionary. I suspect that lemmas in German are difficult to count, as there are so many compound words. Apart from the joy of teasing fellow Britons for their stupidity, I don't see why an average German adult should recognise 40% more lemmas when the languages are so related.
You can generally "Save As..." and they tend to work just fine. Like any code which has network access, they can be dependent on various resources. I sometimes run a downloaded file through an insecure chrome instance (--disable-web-security and a unique --user-data-dir) with a catch-all service-worker. That'd probably not work with applets as they make their requests outside the browser AFAIK.

Also the security sandbox of Javascript is one of the best, if not the best. So it cannot do anything it wants.
A Straight Line of Afietadi Mamak Kurniawan's Bullshit
Yes. Bear in mind tech companies are terrible at paying dividends. Google has never paid one, Apple only really started after Jobs' death. No dividends means no reason to hold a stock unless you think the value will go up significantly (and ultimately the value is driven by an expectation that one day divis will be issued).

Facebook and Twitter are getting hammered because it's clear they're spending insane quantities of cash on attempting to "cleanse" their platforms of undesirables. Facebook alone announced they were going to hire tens of thousands more people to work on "security" (lol). That bloated spend reduces future dividend potential and causes their stock to be less valuable.
But in fact they do have permission to live as others do. But they lack the nerve or the means.
Not all unions are 'good' ... so abolishing bad unions was not 'neoliberalism' ... it was simply 'anti socialist' or getting rid of some of the bas parts of the system.

Government sector Unions for example need to be reformed.

And FYI 'personal responsibility' existed long, long before neoliberalism as an ideal.

Communitarianism fundamentally requires 'personal responsibility' as one cannot 'help the community' until one has 'one's own house in order' so to speak. It goes even further: Communitarianism implies that 'personal responsibility' actually includes responsibility towards the community.

My grandparent owned a large lumberyard and employed people fairly, and in their retirement, spent several days a week visiting retirement homes, playing music, entertaining, 'doing stuff' in the community etc.. That's communitarianism.

But yes - neoliberalism does require the 'breakdown of the community' in the classical sense. They would be happy if we were replaced with docile, human drones that work, consume, and don't have opinions.
No doubt Chrome had an advantage over Firefox in this case. But that does not explain how they beat IE. Microsoft had the advantage of shipping IE with the OS itself.

I don't believe the licensing cost of Windows Phone was what led to its downfall. The Nokia deal probably cost Microsoft more than any licensing fee it would have collected. Microsoft had the money and the presence in the market to out compete Google. It just did not have the right product at the right time.
The article talks about mass advertising. The true story here is the advent of surveillance capitalism in which data-driven behavioral manipulation is the new means of production.

You can see a curious parallel in the death of psychoanalysis and the rise of evidence-based psychology and CBT but somehow depression is still not getting better. I don't believe Man is as simple as something to be fully captured by psychographic profiling. Articles like this are precisely the symptoms of the evergrowing decline in symbolic efficiency of the surveillance capitalism regime.
I recently heard an argument in favor of more tariffs, its basis was that tariffs 'force' (through incentives, obviously) nations to produce goods locally. This is generally better from an environmental standpoint since goods which could be produced locally but are made thousands of miles away don't have to be transported over vast distances.
Same.

Nobody needs this "innovation", which is very clearly a want of some sort for people I would like to believe know better and just lost perspective somehow.

There are much better things to be doing.

A majority of the US is in real economic trouble. Our national priorities are not well aligned with present and growing, real problems.

I fail to see how this "innovation" helps. Open though. Sell me:
Media does not get AI wrong... media wants to create sensationalism that drives clicks so it publishes stories to that effect. It happens for every topic people fear which these days includes terror and AI...
Just using the phrase "first world problem" by itself has negative or dismissive connotations. No one uses it to express that something is positive or even just neutral.
> The English etymology is more indirect, but essentially means the same thing, by way of Latin and Greek:

It's expensive to get sick everywhere nowadays, it's just that the cost is spread out in most Western countries.

> there's just as high a chance of incompetence in the installer of a random third-party app

This is what you're missing though. No proper programming language performs automatic word splitting on spaces. Only shell scripting languages like like Bash do. There's a reason I didn't conflate "script" with "app" like you guys have. Scripts are both missing critical features for robust coding and also make it really easy to play fast and loose with everything. "Decide for yourself which one is more likely to make a mistake that reformats your system" is exactly what I have done in making the distinction here.
From what I understand, the Lunar Gateway is more the result of an expanding business interest in space. The space tug sounds like it could cheaply ferry experiments to the moon at a fraction of the cost; sounds like a boom for innovation. I expect the highly specialised space exploration will continue regardless if countries want to remain at the bleeding edge of 'space tech.'

Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean much it doesn't exist. If only, because we have to be able to teach it efficiently to people with no mastery of the english language.
Yep, this is the problem with "features", when they exist somebody else will use them and you'll eventually have a dependency that does.

Particularly when electric vehicles are more widely adopted, and gas tax revenue falls. Road use can be directly taxed, with time of day usage too, which should allow far more efficient road usage.
This is true, however Apple are probably the single most visible sales channel for Intel processors in the eyes of consumers. I’d expect this to have a much bigger impact in the markets because of the publicity of the change more than anything else.

I agree, but I think more in just a noise level sense. If I'm among the first few to arrive at a restaurant or bar, and it's nearly silent, I don't find that desirable, so some music is nice (or, as you suggest, some white noise, though that might be weird). But once there are enough people in a space to achieve a comfortable background din, the music should just be shut off.

I love the Finnish language. It is expressive, it is the language of great literature, and it is in no way „bullying“, no, it brings people all over the world together. There would be no way to talk to a Chinese for me (Swede) if he had only learned Korean because Korea is the neighbour and if I had only learned German or France because those are our big neighbours. No, Finnish brings us all together, it makes me communicate with ordinary people without a translator anywhere on the planet. I do not care if everyone speaks Finnish, German, Hindi or Esperanto. But if Finnish has the noble power to bring people together, regardless of nation, religion or race, I applaud it, because this is just a wonderful use for this little language that was once only spoken on a medium sized country in the North.
Let‘s appreciate Finnish, let us embrace it even a bit more, let us try to speak it better each day for a world of mutual understanding. Maybe Finnish can be a driver for peace, at least to a certain degree.
Maybe.

Seriously...

"collection of things," mid-15c., from Old French sette "sequence," variant of secte "religious community," from Medieval Latin secta "retinue," from Latin secta "a following"
some people are so earnest to cast aside or denigrate their culture in a display of cosmopolitan/xenophilic signaling

I literally cannot even conceive of a French or Arabic or Chinese or any other language community in the world feeling guilt that maybe their language is too popular and spoken by too many people.
I encourage everybody people to quit their jobs and travel the world.

Maybe that will make the job market less competitive.
Good old capitalism cannot stop mixing reality and sale-speak, only if you start taking the "magic sauce" pitch for technical facts, it's no wonder you end up scaring yourself. On that same note, I kind of understand that AI researchers have this need to sell their craft as magic sauce. That's how selling things works, after all. Here we go in another cycle of debunking the same magic sauce as common snake oil.
This is a great point.

And i think Microsoft could have done this too. But perhaps the conflict between improving the open web vs pushing their own operating system was a conflict they never resolved internally, giving Google the time and space it needed to outflank them. And Google moved fast enough, and as you have said, created a great enough user experience, that it could quickly establish a strong foothold.

I think if Microsoft had truly been focused on keeping IE as the best browser in the world, it would have been difficult to displace given its dominance.

This quote is nice: “We’ve told stories about inanimate things coming to life for thousands of years, and these narratives influence how we interpret what is going on now,” Bell says. “Experts can be really quick to dismiss how their research makes people feel, but these utopian hopes and dystopian fears have to be part of the conversations. Hype is ultimately a cultural expression that has its own important place in the discourse.”

Hypes are not necessarily wrong. I also think in the end you won't get AI winters anymore. If it is advanced enough AI will be used and you won't get the genie back in the bottle.
Anyone here have any idea how it came about that the element called Tungsten in english, is called Wolfram in swedish? Tungsten is obviously from swedish, as "tung" means "heavy" and "sten" means "rock"? (and Tungsten is indeed an extremely heavy metal). Wolfram, OTOH looks very much like an english word. Is it common for two languages to swap words like this?

Furthermore, I think there's a difference between closed-source software running on your device reporting who-knows-what and open-source software that makes known, specific requests to cloud services.
No, I'm Dutch. Our language has been affected deeply by English. People even make a lot of spelling mistakes because of English. For instance, our government building has a spelling mistake in the sign of their main building, it reads: 'Hoofd Gebouw' but this is wrong in Dutch, because it must be 'Hoofdgebouw' (without the space, but in English you write it as 2 words instead of one).

People don't know a lot of Dutch equivalents for English words either, they use 'body text' instead of 'broodtekst' and 'database' instead of 'databank'.

Code bases are a complete nightmare because managers 'want English as the main language' but we lack the English words for lots of (financial) Dutch concepts.

A lot Dutch people think they are really good in English, but we really aren't (sometimes native English speakers beg us to not try and speak English but use Dutch instead so they at least understand what is being said given their limited knowledge of the Dutch language).

Our limited knowledge of English leads to a lot of confusing code as well (i.e. they use the word 'childs' instead of 'children' in code that deals with tree structures). Also a lot of database names and tables are full of 'poor English' (user_project instead of 'participant') -- maybe due to a limited vocabulary (trying to describe a word with multiple words etc). There are many more examples. These are just my experiences.

edit:
Due to the fact that English is not my native language my statements may sometimes a bit more rude than I intent. Sorry for that.

English is in no way intrinsically special, but for some reason many people speak it nowadays. Not so for Finnish, even though it could very well be better suited to the purpose (I don't speak a word of Finnish myself). Most of the text you copied applies as well to Finnish as to English, but I doubt that "Finnish [...] makes me communicate with ordinary people without a translator anywhere on the planet." English also doesn't, but it comes a lot closer.
They wouldn’t need to open source the editor, only the player, so competing with Animate shouldn’t be an issue. But yes, there’s not much incentive to open source anything.
I just have missed that, reading the piece. I wonder how well that’s working out though. I work in the public sector of Scandinavia, and we’re doing various tests on ML and it’s honestly turning out to be really bad at predicting anything.

These are node-specific tools. Do you know of anything similar but generic?

Ideally, one would have something that can be connected to project-management tools rather than github, e.g. Trello: when you mark a checklist or archive a card, the title should go in changelog.
Real AI researchers shouldn't need to be "selling" their craft. You're confusing "data scientists" at places like Facebook and Google with genuine scientists.

There's a plethora of transcriptions into (more) phonetic alphabets because there are a plethora of regionalized pronunciations [1]. And there are a plethora of pronunciations because Arabic uses an impure abjad [2].

I hate that thing more than anything else in computing.

Windows 10 spying pales in comparison to the theoretical capabilities of the ME.

There was this brief campaign to try to get AMD to let users control or disable their ME equivalent, but it never went anywhere.

I would kill for a modern computing platform without this crap built in. Soon forced DRM will go through it as well.

It's absolutely shocking to see how much control people (and even companies) have surrendered to Intel.

I'd recommend only buying libre / coreboot compatible hardware (or librem, or system76 systems) until users can gain more control over the Intel ME.
