Right to forget is basically the right to withdraw consent. You can only make them delete things that they needed your consent for in the first place.
If you are saying that the issue apperently most contentious to you is a hypothesis, why did you call the entire article opinion to begin with? Seems contradictory to me.

As far as I can tell, she's really only saying is that we would have easily seen QG effects of some sort if it wasn't because it's only relevant at high curvatures, for some measure of high. Hence all of the relevant theories in the QG fields can with high probability only be relevant at high curvatures, because we should have seen them otherwise. Which part of that do you consider to be incorrect?

Apple entering the space would benefit consumers, but if Apple can't deliver a simple power mat (Airpower), it is hard to believe that they would be able to develop a car. Doug Field left Tesla probably because he couldn't scale the manufacturing plant for them. Apple doesn't build the hardware themselves but hires third-parties to do it, like Foxconn. It would be hard to imagine a company designing cars and letting third-parties build for them

The first two questions can be solved through software. I've noticed that most people heavily underestimate what an algorithm is capable of doing. I know most will not believe this but an algorithm can do the same things as a human teacher. In fact, I would even say that in the future the best teachers in the world will be algorithms, not teachers.

Also think about how the whole teacher education model currently works. Students go to a lecture with 30 other kids and then the teacher presents the material, explains it and so on. Students ask questions during the lecture but there is very little actual one on one tutoring going on. If the students want one on one time then they will need to go to tutoring center (inconvenient) or teacher office hours. Even then, during those hours you have to hope that the teacher isn't already occupied by another student. Then think about this issues on a global scale. Do you think Zimbabwe or Ethiopia have competent teachers? very few. So most students get nothing at all. They are completely left out. If a global education system is developed with algorithms being the teachers/tutors then that would be a huge revolution. Every student in the world would get an equal shot at having a high-quality education.

For the last question. That is a complete separate topic. Kids can get social interaction by a variety of other areas, such as, going to the park, playing with other kids in the neighborhood and so on.

What exactly is anachronistic about it? Modern society might be full of health freaks, but one hopes that future societies will have gotten over this. Besides, future medical technology might cure cancer and find ways to keep vital organs in great shape whatever you drink/eat/smoke, in which case smoking might see a resurgence.
Is parsing docx pretty robust these days or is it difficult to grab all of the styling components? There is a group of people where I work that write content exclusively in docx and it’s difficult to convince them to change their workflow because of all the styling Word offers and familiarity with the tool. If there are super robust solutions that make it easy to basically turn docx into something parseable while conserving the styling aspects I haven’t found them yet.

Ah. The halcyon days of free speech when certain elected MPs were banned from speaking on television; the Zircon affair, the prosecution over Spycatcher, the McLibel trial, and so on?

Demanding fair play from Google, Facebook and other large corporations is a losing strategy, especially if the government is not on your side. They have too much freedom to rank search results, advertisements and your feed items however they want to, up to the point where censorship is indistinguishable from their algorithms deciding that something is simply of no interest to you. You can't complain if your recommended videos feed is full of "cat videos" and has no political content you are interested in.

The real solution to censorship is federation. We are bad at making decentralized search engines, and projects like YaCy [1] have never been successful, partly because it is hard to make ranking algorithms decentralized. But projects like Mastodon [2], Pleroma [3] and PeerTube [4] already have made federated social networks where you can decide what you subscribe to and receive it regardless of someone else decisions. The technical part is simple and transparent and if your provider tries to censor the sources you like, you can always switch to another one or host it yourself.

Wait, who said the locals have "faster-than-light space travel"?

We only know that the visitors on the rocket-ship have it.

It could very well be that the visitors have a rocketship (ie. faster-than-light space travel) and "Photography" (since the next-in-command mentioned it), but the locals don't have either.
"That's not true at all. Scaling quantum computers is exponentially hard - each bit is twice as hard to keep coherent as the last."

I am very interested to know if that is the case. From my perspective, your claim seems like an intuitively obvious application of TANSTAAFL, but there are experts who actually understand quantum physics who think otherwise. Layman's intuition is not to be trusted. Therefore quantum computing remains tantalizingly more plausible to me than, say, cold fusion.

As someone with a traumatic brain injury from over two years ago that stI'll had cognitive problems on a daily basis preventing me from a range of tasks such as working in IT (careel of 10+ years) to (depending on the day) understanding the question "are you hungry?": i get mentally fatigued from answering questions, both critical and non critical thinking. Both are taxing and after less than an hour of ~15 questions I am unable to proceed or comprehend the information. The best analog I could give is when you wake up groggy and turn on a tv show that is in a language you don't know. Your brain is trying and searching but there are no connections being made and you only are aware that you are struggling but can do anything about it besides rest and give your brain time to recouperate.

Actually, it's more common than you think for a major brand to design a car and outsource the building to a third party or even to outsource the whole design and development of a model entirely.

For example, Magna Steyr builds the E-Pace for Jaguar, the Countryman for Mini and the G-Wagon for Daimler in Graz, Austria.
It also developed several cars on behalf of manufacturers such as the Audi TT, Fiat Bravo and Peugeot RCZ[1].

There were even rumors in Graz that execs from Cupertino have flown here to discuss the possibility of Magna building a car for Apple.

We should not be putting more and more UC students in Santa Cruz, San Francisco, LA, and other high cost areas. For the love of god, expand the campuses in Davis, Merced, etc.
And the IEEE actually have done better in some cases, including when they decided to adopt AEAD for WPA2/802.11i which led to WPA2-CCMP still being used today. This Dragonfly SAE algorithm came from 802.11s from 2011, BTW.
it's not easy to grow the UCSC campus like that. There was an aggressive 25 year plan where they anticipated a campus multiple times the current size but it's not realistic to expect the town to accomodate it. It would also be super-unpopular to extensively develop the existing campus.
It's simply too hard to make money. You have very demanding users with infinite resource requirements and finite budgets. There's no margin in it.

And there are existing solutions that are satisfactory.
Ok, I did this - this is great, there are some 'neat'/'inspiring' things there. A few other questions for you:

* How do I find more hashtags? I would have never found #creativecoding - is it known to be a community or is it just an ad hoc hashtag like #lostinthehashtags (which I just made up - but which has posts!) I guess what I'm saying is - I don't sense that these hashtags are a community - or are they?

* As 'neat'/'inspiring' as these are, they are mostly only (very small) images and (very short) clips. I ultimately can't see myself using Instagram or Twitter much because you just kind of skim and can't go deeper. They lack the 'hypertext'. (This is similarly to the OP's trouble with this post just being a simple 'box algorithm' - where do I go for more?

* Most of these look like art I've seen on t-shirts or album covers. Dating back even to the seventies. It is still beautiful and remarkable - but I can't help but wonder: Where is innovation happening in tech+art?

I will say that I do follow a lot of things happening in vaporwave - any idea what else is happening out there? Thank you for your time, HammadB. I am eager.
Just making an observation. Can’t relate hearsay, that might even violate rules.
When I showed above mentioned artist http://www.iwriteiam.nl/BYOB2017.html he commented that the colours looked horrible to his eyes. (Later, I created a faster changing version: http://www.iwriteiam.nl/BYOB2018.html .) Just recently, I developed a version that works with a static colour palet: http://www.iwriteiam.nl/ST8x8FixedPalette.html , but I am not very satified with it, after I discovered how hard it is to create a colour plate. I have never mixed any colours and never experimented with it, but I have realized that I do not master the art. The said artist does like the animation and he would like to cooperate with me to make it a joint work. He has cooperated with other software engineers for his art projects.
Interactive Raycaster in 64 bytes (msdos)

Since 2013, i tried a lot of approaches in tiny intros for MSDOS, with the exception of : 3D raycasting. As a computer scientist with specialisation "computer graphics" i simply was not interested enough in manually asm-coding a brute force raycaster, with regard to already existing, excellent examples like "Spongy" (128b, TBC, 2009) and "Wolf128" (128b, Baudsurfer, 2014). However, i coded several "2,5D" effects like "Lucy" (64b, 2014) and recently "Projektbeschreibung" (32b, DESIRE, 2018). So naturally, at some point i asked myself, what is the smallest 3D raycaster which is perceived as one, being centered, having decent textures and colors, and runs on all common systems (MSDOS, FreeDos, WinXP Dos, Dosbox) while being totally smooth at least on real hardware? The (my) answer is :

That method is far superior to the current method but teachers don't like it because it takes "resources" away from the teacher. That's the argument I've heard on other forums when discussing the flipping the classroom method. The teachers say that it is better if they explain the material in the classroom and answer questions immediately. So expect to get quite a bit of push back on the flipping the classroom method. That's the reality. I've noticed that there are quite a few teachers that are basically fearful of some new technology or method popping up that replaces them. Education has become far too political from what I've seen.

Interestingly, this has only been true since 2012, after Nokia closed its factories in Finland, Hungary, and Mexico[1].

The process, as told by the author, was that one of the editors invited to submit, and three weeks later it was published upon which the rest of the editorial board took notice and threatened resignation.

By that telling it was published practically on the spot, especially for mathematics where things are famously glacially slow. Browsing through the journal one mostly sees submission and publication dates separated by many months. Last published paper in the current volume was received over a year before. But this paper made it in three weeks.

So it was fast tracked by an editor. Editorial board could take issue with that, arguing it haven't gone by the review properly or whatever the usual procedures before publication are. It might have been put up on the web by the managing editor (since on leave and replaced in the interim) or whomever had the admin password, but editorial board to whom the journal's reputation really belongs hasn't deemed it to be their publication.

Of the timeline, author says he's uploaded to ArXiv in September, while by that time he was on revision 3 of https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04184 uploaded in March. What was added in September however was a piece of journalism in an appendix, that then disappeared in most recent revisions. Last revision was posted just 2 weeks ago, apparently there still were arguments to strengthen (or journalism to remove) before Quillette ran the story.

There he paints his work as "science" and some people including the editorial board as "activists". By Google however appears the same Ted Hill founded a site "to promote campus activism in general" and "to serve as a focal point for organizing activists" where he chronicles his long history of activism http://www.motherfunctor.org/CompleteHistory2013.php

You're absolutely right. I've even heard senior permaculture types suggest superphosphate for use as a one-hit kick-starter .. but as I say, Hügelkultur is not a particularly well proven method, and I suspect its primary benefits are enjoyed in an area with regular & frequent rainfalls.

Short term is good so far. Rent did not increase last year and jobs have less candidates applying. People literally stop coming overnight since Brexit, there is less competition for everything.

Long term, we will see. Probably nothing good.

One way to look at it is that the entropy is not a property of the system but a property of the knowledge an observer has about the system.

A macroscopic state is not a physical object. The same microscopic state may correspond to different macroscopic states for different observers.

https://miketeter.smugmug.com/First-Light/

The code behind them is a Python abomination (because it was really about the experiments and parameterized/randomized algos.

The biggest challenge for me was testing different theories and then being able to capture/remember the details of which algo variation produced which image. If my code were properly abstracted I could embed the parameters in the image; but currently, each image is only ever generated once, and it will never be re-generated.

I'll try to answer as best as I can.

While it is true that a system doesn't minimize the energy of the entire system, as energy IS conserved, except apparently for a miniscule amount due to the universe expanding, it is also true that locally it often looks like minimizing energy in some sense.

If you have a vibrating spring on a table, after a while it will have stopped because it has created motions in the air and in the table, spreading out at the speed of sound in whatever material it encounters, and some of it also at the speed of light in the form of thermal radiation.

So, looking only at the spring, it is minimizing it's energy by returning to a stable quiscent state. In the same way, if we look at a sphere with radius as "the speed of light times the time from the start of the experiment", all energy can still be accounted for within that volume.

One system, several perspectives.

I think the minimization model is often used because the statistical model of entropy can be hard to explain, as it simultaneously allows complex relatively ordered systems like us humans to exist, while at the same time explains the almost complete disorder of thermal energy and how it disperses.

Thus, since the energy minimization of the local state can be used as a relatively truthful proxy, we learn that model first. With the possible bonus that it also allows one to temporarily avoiding some rather (afaict) gnarly math until you actually have the tools you need to understand it.
