I'd be interested in trying kava were there not so many people addicted to it and trying to quit. (The same is of course true for benzos, hence why I'm looking for an alternative.)
That’s a massive wall of text filled with claims, many of which seem sketchy at best (1000-20000 children per year in Britain is a huge range for example, the latter number being twenty times the former) and I don’t have the time to sort through most of it. One thing did leap out at me however.

And yes, child services taking children almost never happens because of actual abuse. Hygiene (as judged by teachers), and parental separation are the main causes (and by that we mean 80%+) of child services interfering with young children. Later it becomes theft (as in the child stealing something)

That’s a suspiciously round %, and I’d love a citation for it. I think it would be helpful to get a sense of where you’re getting your numbers while avoiding the pages of opinion and invective.
interesting, but not useful to my scenario.

again, if you have 2 candidates that have equal background, skills, etc, you have to make a choice if you can only hire one. it seems that any decision you make could be challenged on some point.

The 'alabama' accent might just be an accent they have, and they're not from alabama. But they still have an accent that is difficult for people to work with. If you have another candidate of equal experience and credentials, but who is easier to understand... do you hire the person who is harder to understand precisely because you might get sued otherwise?
From what I can tell, all the text is rendered via SVG.
On the other hand, it's the military who have the money. Jet fighters and bombers came before jet airliners. So, maybe DOD's involvement will bring the Singularity closer.

Not sure why you'd think that. I still get collections letters for debt that I paid off years, sometimes decades ago. There's a whole ecosystem of slimy bottomfeeders that buy old lists and send out demand letters hoping one-in-a-hundred is intimidated enough to pay them to go away.

I am mildly interested, to the extent that it's any kind of specific, public Microsoft technical claim, rather than a piece of generic marketing hubris, or a rumour of something said in a closed-doors meeting of C-level people once upon a time.

(Re: Marketing disclaimer, e.g. the slogan in the UK "You can't get better than a Kwik-Fit fitter", Kwik-Fit being a high-street chain of budget vehicle repair, I think analogous to something like Jiffy-Lube in the USA, it would be unreasonable for anyone to take this as a factual claim that "no better mechanics exist on the planet", excellent mechanics are more likely to work on racing car engines than routine oil and brake changes for near minimum wage, say)
Amsterdam is one of the worst cities to bike in (on a Dutch scale). It only get's better in other cities!

I'm curious how you though the article failed to cover this issue? In fact, that's the first example that the article covers, that car-centric planning in Rotterdam post-WWII was changed to be bike-friendly in the 1970s.

Did the article get rewritten after you commented?

> Why should they use the same syntax? ... Go is a different language

True; I harp on Go primarily due to their IMO idiosyncratic approach: AFAIU they claim to be a "purposefully boring", "good for in-the-large" language. (Which is great, I want/like languages like that.)

But then they do cute things like the upper/lower case for private, the "method params can be defined `a, b int` because it saves an `int`", the `:=` assignment vs. a standalone `var`/`val` for "hey this is a new variable", not throwing in a ":" for `i: int`, etc., that are all, IMO, very tangential/distracting from their core mission of being a "boring language".

So, if they were purposefully trying to be a wildly different language, sure, that's great, I would care a lot less.

But it's that they want to be a boring language, and yet are "off" by just enough, that it admittedly frustrates me more than it should.
It's easy for politicians to dispatch robots, no danger of service members being killed. Look at the proliferation of questionable targets and results that cruise missiles have given politicians when they need to make empty threats.
No, in general it's not. https://duck.co/forum/thread/4350/did-you-know-that-duckduck...

IME, inline results from third party sites (like StackOverflow, images, youtube videos, etc.) are pretty easy to notice when they're included and easy to tell where they came from.
I agree that for most implementations, it wouldn't make much difference. There's no point in trying to hide a cc # from Stripe, since they need it in plaintext to make the charge anyway.

But the use case of VGS as described in the article is for companies that do want to charge the cards themselves or otherwise access the cc # for whatever reason vs. outsourcing that. In this case, VGS allows you to hold a token instead of the cc #, and then you can trade your token in for the cc # (alongside some other authentication probably, like IP restrictions/anomaly detection) to make the charge.

I'm not an expert on PCI, so I don't know whether this approach truly satisfies it in itself since yes, the tokens are still sensitive. But my point is that if you're going to take this approach, and believe it does satisfy PCI, then it's strictly better if you don't have to trust VGS to store the cc # in (effectively) plaintext.
In 2015 I tried using DDG for programming questions and the results were inferior to my co-worker who used Google Search. Even without the comparison I could tell DDG was inferior due to how few answers I'd find. I recently switched away from Google services to Firefox, Fastmail, and DDG for privacy reasons. I no longer have issues finding answers within the top 4-5 results and if I do, Google almost never has the answer anyway.
What’s unfair about it? They’ve spent years making claims that turned out to be patently false, and their patents tell the story of a company that pursued something better minds have failed at, and then shows them pivoting to the boring “Hololens 1.1” we see today. Other than an incredible facility with both deceptive marketing and fundraising I see no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt at this point. They’re still blathering about “photonic lightfield chips” when they’re selling run-of-the-mill waveguides.

I don’t see vapor ware, there is a product, it’s just technically unimpressive and at odds with years of marketing. If they release something else there is no indication that they’re capable of producing more than incremental modifications of existing tech. Do you see some other indication outside of their marketing and fundraising to indicate otherwise? Investors were sold on visions of something completely at odds with their actual product, how is that not a huge red flag?
Google: 'We never rank search results to manipulate political sentiment'
I started out doing that, but I've found myself using !g less and less recently. There are two main things I find myself needing it for: Location based queries, Google will always prioritize UK based results, and often London based results for me. The other is technical searches, I'm not sure how much this is due to Google having better search algorithms for this, or just that it has the data to know that I'm a programmer, but it it's more likely to know that I'm talking about coding with a term like Python or Ruby which could mean something else.

I hope DDG can keep improving, and I do feel like it's a worthy alternative now. I do wonder how they can keep making money with no advertising or paid services, but if they were to be bought out by a big player, I think they would quickly lose much of their user base.
They would need configuration access to a router in the path to perform DNS actions in order to accomplish this.

Nope, they just need to poison its ARP cache. You can do that easily with a tool like Ettercap, if the router is in the same LAN as your machine. Every request (DNS, HTTP, etc) from the victim machine will now go to yours, and you control the responses it gets.

Note that they aren't impersonating the domain to the whole world (hence they can't get a valid certificate, since no CA will accept their request), only to a local computer.
On a laptop, the code block is much easier to read than the "correct" way. I can see it being harder on a phone

> The Higgs is the newest fundamental particle to physics, and the first/only known scalar.

A question to physicists: Is there (strong) evidence that there might exist other scalars (if yes: at which energy level?). If not: Do there exist attempts of theories that predict why there is only one scalar?

> I think all data can tell us is what people _are_ watching, not what people would get the most enjoyment out of watching.

Just to be clear/nitpicky, you're talking about an algorithm that starts with the catalog Netflix could afford to license at some moment in time, and then maximizes the viewer's enjoyment for that limited set of content.

That's probably a vastly different level of enjoyment than starting with, say, the catalog of available content listed in IMDB and maximizing for the same thing.
Thanks.

I suspect that the eternal problem will be that of context.

Back when Google started out, they bet the farm on the idea that more links pointing to a document meant that said document was informative.

These days though, i wonder if what we are looking for is more hair. That what we are looking for depends on a context that can't be properly included in the search terms used.

On top of this "naive" metrics like link counts are no longer a viable measure for what to elevate to the top of the search results.
The very first thing I thought when reading the above comment describing how it works is, "I bet something like this would come real handy when suppressing protests".
Being good at reverse engineering, analysis, and programming are almost completely orthogonal to being able to implement 5 variations of search algorithms from memory on a whiteboard in syntactically correct code.

You can definitely argue that drones are a proliferation risk, and also risk conflict escalation. Because there is no pilot on board, A is willing to action riskier/provocative missions against B. B knows it is a drone, so it can shoot it down without loss of human life, and possibly analyse the fragments. A knows B will do this, so uses disposables to probe air defence capabilities. B sends its own drones to probe A's launch site/platform. Et cetera.

So it allows idiot governments to seriously escalate conflicts. I can totally see this in regional conflicts.

The disposable nature with low local expertise requirements might increase sales to poor countries too. While they might not be willing to risk their air superiority totems (MiGs of F-16s) in a border dispute, drones are qualitatively different.

Right, but you still need HTTPS for the main domain.
The case against exceptions is unfair to Java, whose model is CHECKED exceptions. Of course, people hate them, but they are semantically equivalent to the new proposed solution, which is itself much better than current error handling in Go, which is frankly horrid.

I must admit the check/handle mechanism is syntactically more pleasant though, avoiding surrounding code with try/catch.

I'd suggest you consider the environment around your house - permaculture materials will help here as sustainable habitations are a strong focus.

You've suggested a 'massive concrete house' without stating size (massive is very subjective) or why you want concrete (a very expensive material, in $-cost, environmental costs, and maintenance / repair). You haven't indicated what climate you're in, or the landscape you're working with.

Passive solar heating works well with concrete floors on an equator-facing house (assuming you're outside the tropics) with thoughtfully designed awnings, but a 'whole concrete house' will likely backfire if you're intending to reduce on-going HVAC costs.

Nothing, seeing as how OMERS (the pension fund) is worth $95 billion.
From the paper:

In Tai's Model, the total area under a curve is computed by dividing the area under the curve between two designated values on the X-axis (abscissas) into small segments (rectangles and triangles) whose areas can be accurately calculated from their respective geometrical formulas. The total sum of these individual areas thus represents the total area under the curve. Validity of the model is established by comparing total areas obtained from this model to these same areas obtained from graphic method Gess than ±0.4%). Other formulas widely applied by researchers under- or overestimated total area under a metabolic curve by a great margin.

Absolutely hilarious!

In my opinion, what i see is a very good player who knows how to chain stun precisely without any strategic depth. If you claim to have built an AI system, which you ultimately want it to evolve to AGI, you at least expect some sort of strategic decision making at the macro level. Though since it has almost perfect micro, it can easily outweight the most of teams. So yeah, with that expectation I see this as a joke, too.

Forgive my ignorance, I am honestly just curious. I took a look at your test area on your website, and it is filled with homes/condos that are in the millions of dollars. What practical reason would someone that could afford a home that costs this much need to utilize your service?

Is this area essentially exactly that, a test area, and not intended to be the location you deploy in first?

For CT the finished system involves browsers checking that the server can prove its certificates were logged (the ones you get from Let's Encrypt have such proof embedded) and periodically talking to Log Monitors (e.g. owned by your browser vendor) about proofs it has seen.

If somebody has seen a proof that is contradicted by the published log state this means the Logs involved are corrupt. If an otherwise authentic cert is shown without proofs or those proofs are bogus the cert may have been unlogged for nefarious reasons, it shouldn't be accepted and needs reporting

Chrome has the start of this, it checks for the proofs. Firefox is getting roughly the same feature "soon". But the finished system with all bells and whistles is probably a year or five away.

Good news is that even unfinished CT has been very effective.
What about plugging a mouse into the Chromebooks? I distinctly remember being in kindergarten and using a mouse as my pointer input. I played Treasure Mountain! and some other educational games.

Kids are pretty capable and adept at picking up new things. We should be pushing forward with tech literacy while they're still young and not afraid of breaking technology. Touch screens are great because they provided a very directed experience, but I believe that has more to do with the software itself being designed more intuitively when you're limiting the user to app-style software. I think software engineers should be focused on making accessible software for these target demographics. I think getting kids used to keyboard/mice/touchpads will get them more comfortable and prepare them for more complicated things down the line, like coding and word processing where keyboards are objectively a the best input.
[Chromebooks are the new fashion in elementary school. They are cheap; they are everywhere. And they are unusable by kids in kindergarten through, in some case, third grade.]

iPad's are consumer devices and will not prepare our kids to be producers. I am surprised every time I see iPad's being used in schools. Chromebooks at least put kids in path of being producers rather than mere consumers of content.
