That's not really true. Take a look at the experiments performed all the way back in the 18th century [1], where mimosa plants followed a rhythm even when they were kept in an absolutely dark room.

> You can't register a hut in the property registration office since a decade without a PAN number. And builders haven't been taking cash since more than a decade now.

Where I stay(Mumbai suburb), taking some percentage of money as cash was always the norm. For example, for a flat worth 90 lakhs, you were expected to pay 60-75 lakhs in white and the rest in black(cash). This inflated the costs and many folks could not afford a flat due to this. It's mostly gone now thanks to RERA but Demo also played some part.
Could you supply a research article by this person from UCSF? This sounds very interesting!
The site was back online again for a few years after the raid. The second time it went offline was due to lack of activity I guess.

Would be great to bring it back online even if it was a read only backup...
I get `AccessDenied` on most example images.

With them images I can see I like how they included images that work great (like erasing the dog) and lots of images that show the limitations of the algorithm (like the elephants)
Loved how the first 0x2a ezines were COM files with fancy hidden menus.
While I understand your point, I do agree with dagenix as well. Not because I think Terry's condition is 'no excuse', but rather because I don't think we can cleanly make a distinction between someone like Terry and the rest of us.

Sure, he more obviously acted in ways that seemed an 'involuntary' result of his condition, but quite frankly much of the horrible shit I see people do or hear people say can be considered 'mental health issues' to various degrees. It's a murky area.

Terry's condition makes it both easier to judge him and excuse his behavior, depending on your perspective. I think getting away from those two extremes is probably the better way to go: be able to openly consider a person's behavior appalling and find understanding this shouldn't be considered an 'appalling person' as a result.
But why doing email forwarding. If it is a custom domain, why not simply use gmail as your MX entries?
you are not paying for the full end-to-end cost of the item

Dirty little secret: this is deliberate. Why do you think the West closed all its heavily regulated factories and shifted manufacturing to China where environmental protection and workers rights don’t exist?

We should impose tariffs to punish imports from anywhere that isn’t up to Western standards of regulation. That’s the only way for the market to fix this.
Quite a few things are missing. And as someone else pointed out, very American slanted.

I'll bet better than now and only if the system is fully open (viewable by the public). Communism becomes a broken model when privacy exists and where people can abuse their position in the system because of said privacy.
Nuclear plants are a good example of this mentality, cheap power until you have to decommission the plant and suddenly costs goes through the roof.

But I would not say this is market failure, to me this is market working exactly as intended and expected: maximizing profit without caring for the rest.

On the other hand, it is not a question of subsidy/handout paid by future generation anymore, we're now at the point where it is a matter of going over the threshold effect where the consequence will be no human life possible on earth in a matter of decades.

Generally, the problems are multifold.

1) accuracy at direct audio detection is limited and fuzzy - with best current approaches. Even matching human performance at this classification task is not enough and we're not there yet.

2) the filter is supposed to take quotation and other fair use into account

3) covers and remixes make matters even more complex

4) the copyrighted matter is both performance and music itself, with different laws

Therefore there will be many false positives or negatives.
How (Jupyter) Notebooks Should Work
I agree generally but this assumes all those Pendalwalla, Micwalla, liquor suppliers are okay with doing their sales in black. That's not always the case. Especially just after a massive government exercise that fell hard on cash, these guys are less likely to accept tons of cash. So, considering all this I don't see how one party clearly benefitted.
That comparison is against consumer laptops with SATA SSDs. The MBP's sequential read/write is average for NVMe SSDs, and a mobile workstation like a ThinkPad can be configured with multiple NVM SSDs in a RAID configuration, giving even higher throughput.

I would have been 6 around 1990 when I first discovered BASIC, on our Amstrad CPC464. Found the manual filled with code, and that cemented my love of programming.

It's interesting how rather than coming with an instruction manual nowadays, its assumed that everybody knows how a PC (including phones) works, especially as they are more complicated now - just hidden beneath a veneer of GUI

Germany has recently reverted a law like this for Wifi. If you have an open wifi and someone torrents over it, then you're not liable for the illegal activity itself (though a court can force you to install filters and fine you if you didn't and it happens again).
Unfortunately, unless this is an exact rip of one, there will be false positives on performances. A lot of them.

You can try to weigh the importance of performance of the filter based on number of extant performances themselves but it is not perfect and hard to bootstrap.
I can't say I agree with the characterization of B5 as "paling in comparison" vs BSG at all. I've went out to watch B5 rather late, after I've already seen all of these other allegedly superior shows, and I still found it to be one of the strongest if not the strongest sci-fi offerings.
Things aren't so bleak as you think. I work in O&G and there are huge amounts of "swing production" in the form of new wells which may be drilled or not drilled, depending on the price of oil and gas.

If the price for energy from renewables becomes cheaper than the price of energy from these wells, they won't be drilled.
The meteorite will probably survive, yes, but contamination will occur due to the flames and other burned chemicals.

Also, you would expect museums to have digital catalogs of their collections, but that's not what happens in countries like Brazil.

I'm a Brazilian living in Europe and only when I moved I could see all the "basic" things we don't have. Access to art and culture in Brazil is something awful.
That depends where you are in the world. Some cities are denser than others. Some places, people are willing to live in smaller appartments, etc. Adjustments to zoning laws and regulations as well as adjustments to personal expectations can go quite far.

Also, there are trains, subways, etc, that has a very small environmental footprint. Bicycles can also take you a fair distance, especially the electric ones.

If there is a will, there is a way.
You can be pretty confident most people will die before shit gets too bad, also confident that most people will die (latest estimation I heard was over 75% before 2060).

But unless you're over 70-80 you will have to face the shit, it has already been happening for some time now and is accelerating.
Having both sides agree to that and not cheat would be an unprecedented amount of coordination; you could probably write a sociology paper just from this observation :).
> No one, not even beggars on Indian streets keep their cash beneath their mattress these days.

That was my point. A point that I think went over your head. Maybe I need to dumb down my language more?

> people and their round-corner-barber-shop level discussions on how their random hacks and their political heroes will go around fixing everything.

The success of a democracy depends on these barber-shop level discussions. Any working democracy should be proud of the fact that normal people discuss and have their own political views. Democracy is born from the bottom, not handed down from the top by the ever changing and confusing whims of a failed dynast.

> Who think their barely held together theories, which won't survive 5 why questions in a stretch, should be forced implemented and others be made to suffer through it as a test of patriotism.

> Demonetization was a devastating failure for one simple reason. Tax accountability is one thing. Capital is a totally different concept.

What is difficult to understand? Demonetization cannot be a failure on tax accountability or capital because it was never intended for this. It was to make a purely political point and it made that very clear to the people. The GST reforms are the reforms for the tax system. Not demonetization.
Some IP addresses are more personal than others.
What I mean is that yes, on it's own an IP address does not pinpoint persons, but devices. So it remains upon the complainer in the case of a copyright infringement case to present a further reasoning 'above the speculative level' that the by the IP identified device at the time of the infringement was under the control of the alleged infringer.

In this case they failed. That doesn't mean it will always fail.

If you're mobile ISP uses IPv6 for everything and assigned your mobile a static IPv6 address, then it will be harder to argue it wasn't you.

If you're Home router is provided and managed by your ISP, and it is configured to use DHCP Static Leases, then the local IP of your mobile phone (a fairly personal device) is close (not equal) to being equally as effective as a personal identifier as it's MAC.

If on the other hand you connected to an Open-Wifi set up by an amateur 4 NAT's down that does not keep logs, and you randomize your MAC every time you connect to a new network, it might be more difficult for tying an IP to your device without reasonable doubt.

In that last case if the pursuer wanted the open-wifi operator's operation could be made more difficult by DMCA complaints and leverage through the ISP's terms of service.
It's 'exit'. 'Exeunt' is a plural, not a fancy shakesperean way to say 'exit'. Similarly, you can't really mutter 'exeunt' to yourself unless you plan to leave with other people.

The website is hard to use repeatedly and the design is unpleasant to interact with.

I tried erasing people from a random Instagram account's images, and the algorithm does a blurry, but sufficient job of inserting an empty, grey square over all of the faces in the image. I then looked at some examples and realized that the algorithm was supposed to erase the chosen object seamlessly. I'm impressed with the dog example, but the dog example has the benefit of having a dog in the middle of a homogenous texture.
Most of the worlds largest cities are near the coasts. And weather systems hundreds of km from coastal areas are still affected by things like ocean currents that affect the temperature. E.g. weather in large parts of North Western Europe is substantially warmer than you'd expect because of this.

So on one hand expect large scale migrations and/or massively expensive programs to mitigate the problems. On the other hand expect far more extreme weather far inland.

The idea it will only affect coastal cities is a dangerous one.
Counterproductive economic policy, wrapped in popular rhetoric, but which largely hurts the base of the politician doing it most. Huh. It’ll never catch on.
Maybe from a selfish and individualistic point of view (which is one of the reason things are going in the wrong direction), but if you have empathy and care about others people and life forms it is a very different matter.
Yeah and since nobody knows whether the exotic matter needed actually exists, we don't know whether bending spacetime in the required way is physically possible.

I think it's human nature to desire action NOW.

In practice, however, immediate action in complex systems is likely to have negative side-effects.

The article states that 'this is a win for privacy advocates and pirates'.

The average person can see that climate alarmism is complete fud, they can probably also see that climate denialists also pedal fud, but it doesn’t matter because climate activists have already done the job of undermining the science for them. If you want more people to take climate change seriously, this is the problem that needs to be addressed. Spending your energy naval gazing wondering “why don’t people have the same views on climate change that I do? It must be because they are not smart enough to understand it on the same level I do...” really just makes it worse. Nobody’s ever been so good at condescension that they managed to change somebody mind.

That is very unlikely. People could have survived just fine during the Eocene Optimum, ~50 Myr ago. When the entire planet was tropical. Assuming that they knew what to eat, anyway.

You could actually do that right now in a better way.

Most of the assembly and other DATA/POKE stuff is less than relevant nowadays as hardware has improved and a lot of magic is already done in firmware.

The form of "type it in, verify and run; explain mistakes and correct solution" is still didactically valid.

I'm pretty sure there are programming language interpreters out there with simplicity of BASIC, including BASIC itself.

On MS-DOS, you had a variety of commands built in and extensibility via BASIC too. (or more) Programs could be written as batch files.
On Unix-like, the primary interface was via shell, csh, ksh or later POSIX. A set of built in commands. If you wanted something more advanced, programming languages and interpreters were easily available, typically pre-installed.

It was the main interface, magic words. We have regressed to pictures now and most extensibility has been hidden, removed and made very indirect.

Hardware doesn't come with programming manuals anymore as it is deemed too complex (yeah right) and expensive.
It is be great if your GPU came with a description and software to write and execute shaders, for example. PC with instructions how to programmatically reboot it, start it or access sensors. How to access EFI services. What the machine code looks like. Etc.
> Both sides may or may not have appropriate weapons, so some battles could involve ramming or aiming the engine at the other ship etc. Even just dumping junk out an airlock on a close flyby might.

The thing missed in the video is that there would be no close flybys, unless both sides royally fucked up. The warring fleets would see each other across half of the solar system at least, much more if under acceleration. From there until the end of the fight, one would expect the space between them to be like one huge rave party, pretty much saturated with laser light.

> Dissipating heat or solar pannels may involve something that looks a lot like wings.

Yup, with current technology, that would be the most recognizable part of any ship, as all interesting functional parameters of the ship itself scale with radiator surface area.

One of the advantages of the TI-994A was that the (Extended) Basic community didn't use (couldn't?) the prevalent PEEK,POKE commands on the Commodore 64.

That makes me hopeful. What do you think needs to happen for renewables to become cheap enough?
Everywhere in the world, at least 5 meters above see level that have maximum temperatures below 40 degrees celsius will be livable, as long as economic output is sufficient to purchase food (if it cannot be grown locally any more).

It is horrifying that our society is being ripped apart on mythical allegations of a dominant malevolent patriarchy.

Men invented washing machines, and life and labour savings devices for women before safety equipment for miners and other dangerous labour.

And what we get in thanks? "You must of created washing machines to keep us in the house"

I agree that CCS might be one of the tools in our toolbox that is required to reach our goals in CO2 reduction. But at the same time it is a measure that implicitly comes with the attitude "we don't have to change our ways (much), just put all that CO2 back in the ground", and therefore CCS is an appealing solution for industry.

But addressing the problem in our economic systems goes much further, and entails foregoing the idea of 'infinite growth' and the overconsumption that comes with it. In terms of climate change it means most focus should go into reduction of the CO2 we produce in the first place.
