Assuming that they properly stop personalizing ads, there should be little reason for them to continue collecting as much data.

It would especially also be a very clear violation of the law in many countries, if they did.

And since it's opt-out without a direct path to opting out, the number of users that will opt out is probably below 0.1%. So, it would likely be more damaging reputation-wise and in legal fees for them to not stop collecting this data, than to just let those <0.1% get away.

That's what I consider logical and is giving Google the benefit of the doubt. But it's your privacy. You don't need to give anyone any benefit. If you prefer, you absolutely should choose a doubt-free solution instead.
I use reel mowers too. To add to what you said, you also get a bit of free exercise and time to look around the garden and notice things while doing something useful.

Beware some reel mowers though... they can have plastic gearing inside which wears out pretty quickly.

Also you need to get the hang of adjusting the bar against the cutters "just so" and the height of the reel above the grass depending on how damp and long it is.

> Homeowners use up to 10 times more chemical pesticides per acre on their lawns than farmers use on crops.

That statement says a lot less than it is designed to sound like it says. I mean, it's literally true if the most pesticide happy homeowner with a postage stamp sized lawn saturates it with pesticide at a per-acre use 10 times that is typical of farms

What you want is “on average” comparison, not “up to”, which is only useful for deception.
How to Deal with Difficult People on Software Projects
That part always bothered me, since their portly chum and I share a name.
The problem is not that they don't lock down. The problem is nowadays no one has the ability to go through and vet every single version updates of every dependencies they use.
I think the first 10%, like civ, the excitement is in exploration of the different directions you could take the project. Some people right at the start will know exactly what they want to do, but for a lot of people it isn't clear until they look around and get the lay of the land.

Science doesn't have morals. You hypothesise, you experiment, you observe, you document. That's why we have ethics courses.

>Police serve themselves and the state

Just a minor nitpick about this, forgive me. Overall this post is perfectly agreeable.

Police primarily serve private property owners, with private property being different from personal property.

Private property refers to property which earns their owners accumulated wealth: think landlords, business owners and such. Personal property, such as your smartphone or house are intuitively different from this even though things like this are called private property in vernacular.

I think it's a distinction worth posting about since policing as an institution got its start in union busting and slave catching.

I don’t think the ethical grounds for objecting to gene editing are vague at all. Taken to logical extremes, the ability to edit out ‘undesirable’ qualities in our descendants should ring alarm bells in anyone - who decides what is undesirable?

There are plenty of practical grounds too. They don’t just turn off the cancer switch - gene editing ‘turns off’ some deep cellular function that is involved in cancer developing. But that function might regulate something else we don’t understand - we don’t yet know the consequences 40,50 or 100 years later of doing that.

Sure, Taylorism is indeed about measurements and standardization as well but where it differs greatly from the approach that Deming espoused is in where authority and primary allocators of resources are positioned and housed. In Taylorism, it’s much more centralized and managers are the dedicated resources that decide allocation of resources primarily and need information constantly to make decisions (hence a culture of most corporations constantly asking for reports that are usually outdated / irrelevant by the time corrective actions are enacted). In the approaches toward quality that Deming talked about, much more emphasis is placed upon the end product and responsibilities and authority being granted closer to the work being performed (this is not Communism - quite the opposite!). The infamously centralized US Army has started to abandon many Taylorist principles to help fight in the Middle East against a decentralized enemy force. In a really well done “devops” culture while managers are still valuable, their roles are a lot more limited in scope day-to-day than in traditionally structured organizations. Other approaches include “flat” organizations (fully peer-to-peer network mesh) and holocracy. This, in Deming’s view there are many less managers and you may not need them at the smallest unit of organizational structure (you may report to someone as a formality but you have more autonomy and KPIs attached to you).

Deming’s work was not widely accepted in the US, but his approach was accepted at a place many Americans do recognize for superior quality and consistency - Toyota. Every other devops process of feedback and organizational structure is derived squarely from Deming’s principles. I always thought it’s rather ironic that a society known for being relentlessly individualist adopted corporate practices of conformity and a society known for being conformist took on an organizational philosophy that put more control into individuals. Maybe it was done this way to counter natural social inclinations in wider society? I’m not sure honestly. My gut feeling is that Taylorism is precisely how large militaries historically work and following WW2 this was easier for American workers to adopt.

"You either come out of physical violence alive or you don't, and while training in empty-handed martial arts might save your life, training with a gun is the only realistic self-defense training worth doing."

I disagree with this. It can certainly be true if you are in a situation where guns are common (eg. Texas). But the majority of people are in a situation where guns are not available. You should train with what you have available, and for self defense, with what you are likely to have in a normal day. Luckily for us where guns are not available, running away is the best option!

"When you train MMA, you're really training for MMA competitions, not for any kind of real-life combat situation, cuz MMA won't help you there."

Whilst I don't 100% agree (I think training mma will help a bit), you bring up a really good point. That there is a huge difference to learning to fight for a competition, and learning to fight for self defense. And like you said, de-escalation, and situational awareness, are the best course of action.
Wow. It's fascinating to watch this issue grow in realtime: When I started reading, I saw earlier comments indicating the letter had 139 signatories. Then I checked and noticed it was at 250 and it's now at 276. Curious to see what the tally will be by tomorrow.
Hmm,

The article conjures up an idea of blind "trust" that I would claim you only have when you're making a decision of fairly small consequence to yourself. Sure, I'd guess a wealthy person is OK just sending their car, that probably doesn't many miles on it or problems to it, to a high priced mechanic and assuming everything will be OK. It probably will be and in the off-chance it isn't, the extra money you've been feeding the mechanic gives them an incentive to make things up to you.

Personally, I have one mechanic I trust to repair my car at the lowest price and another mechanic I trust to know all of the weird problems of this vehicle (and to charge a higher price as well as to have a multi-week wait time). But that's because auto repairs are a big part of my budget (sure, you can buy a car for $20K and spend nothing for a while or you spend $2K on your car and $1K/year for some period, TCO isn't clear).

Even more, if you are getting improvements on your house, you only dole out money to someone you "trust completely" if your income stream is secure enough you don't mind the risk of a significant amount being tacked by a contractor who's gotten up to the level of "best reputation". If you're trying to improve your house on the cheap, you look carefully at all the options, not "trusting" anyone explicitly.

And that's why it's unlike a software team is likely to get this sort of trust. Nearly everyone paying to have a significant piece of software built is making the kind of decision you have to supervise. Supervise doesn't mean micro-manage but it is significant and quite different from any "pay and forget" type relationship.
He did. He pointed to the largest and most viewed no-holds-barred event in the world. The reply implied that the UFC was not impartial. He asked for an alternate example.

He literally gave reasonable evidence to support his claim. The reply made a conflicting claim with no evidence, OP simply, respectfully, asked for evidence.

Yeah, the early UFCs were a commercial for the Gracie's BJJ, but there is no sign or credible claim that it was rigged. Royce Gracie won UFC 1, 2, and 4 over the course of 13 months. After that it was mainly wrestlers.

This isn't antagonistic, I would also like to see if there was a similar competition where 'traditional' martial arts fared better.
Is buying a 'turn-key' dish going to be easier than using their service? I assume the 'can't easily be specialized enough to really milk capability' part also applies to the off-the-shelf system (disclaimer: I know zilch about this).

As others have mentioned, I have no idea what any of this has to do with blockchain, or how it could even conceivably help with anything other than riding a hype train. That being said, would be curious to see how it holds up against the standard state of the art (e.g. https://github.com/sebastianruder/NLP-progress/blob/master/e...) as summarization (especially the abstractive kind) is very hard, but also has a surprising amount of useful applications

I mean, for genetics in the early 2000’s, I would say that mapping 99% of the genome is a good definition of complete. Its not as fun for Bill Clinton to say “the genome is mostly complete, barring a small bunch of gaps comprised of repeating elements”.

And the gaps are actively being studied with stuff like nanopore sequencing. There’s a lot of hype surrounding next-gen sequencing in general.

While I don't disagree with what you're saying, I'd like to point out that with suburban lawn maintenance, it wouldn't surprise me to see over-application of fertilizer and pesticide on the order of 10x actually needed.

>It seems to exclude the possibility of women who don't identify as belonging to an underrepresented group.

Absolutely. If I had taken this survey, I wouldn't have checked "I feel underrepresented because I'm gay" because... well, it's literally never been an issue. In that sense, why would I care if I'm the only gay guy in a team of a million programmers? They all treat me just fine. Must I be "represented"?

I can imagine the numbers, for that reason, simply won't reflect the number of non-heterosexual people. It could be higher.
Code that assumes TSO is likely broken on x86 as well. The use of the volatile keyword doesn't really change that in any meaningful way either, given that part of the language is a bit under-specified. Basically, C compilers are free to do a lot of non-obvious optimizations which can reorder around volatile accesses.

Put another way, there isn't anything in the base C spec which can provide a guaranteed memory ordering barrier, which is why you absolutely have to depend on 3rd party specifications to get those guarantees. For example, if a program is using pthreads or openMP, their synchronization primitives must be used as well to assure portability.

That isn't to say that given a particular piece of code and compiler/switches/version the resulting program is wrong, just that its quite possible changing compilers/flags may result in "incorrect" code generation.
Farmers have strict regulation on application, and face penalties to misapply. While urban lawns have no regulation and no oversight. Its commonly believed in rural areas that urban pollution/runoff far outstrips what farms contribute

It does help in my experience. Less so than Dexamphetamine, but also feels like it's doing you less damage. I tried Ritalin, but got headaches. We can't get adderall in .au so I don't know about it first hand. The problem is you can't get Modafinil subsidised if you have ADHD, only if you have Narcolepsy, so while Dexamphetamine is probably doing long term damage, it costs me $20 a month where Modafinil is > $200.

There will always be people who will care because locality will always matter (thanks, physics). Improvements in technology may make it easier and cheaper to solve today's problems, but as technology improves we simply begin to tackle new, more difficult problems.

Today's chips provide more performance than whole clusters from 20 years ago and can perform yesterday's jobs on a single chip. But that doesn't mean clusters stopped being a thing.
