Uh, if you're an alien, maybe. Most people want to buy a particular thing - a wood chipper, a paintbrush, a laptop - first. They already know the strengths without reading the review - that's what brought them to these specific products and what the marketing bullet points are.

If it has a "surprise strength" which the company who made it didn't notice, and didn't advertise, that's also something which probably brought you to it by referral (like a DVD player which is region unlocked - the reason you're looking at that one, is because it was linked on a forum, and now you read the weaknesses.

You want a bluetooth speaker, you find all the ones you can, then look for the negative reviews of which have poor battery life and which have weak suckers for glass. You don't look in the positives to see if one is secretly really loud, because the negative reviews will tell you by complaining if it's too quiet, or too loud.

Work on anti-user stuff in the day job, and outside of work, participate (under an alternate identity/pseudonym) in the community efforts to circumvent it --- that might be one way to feel less bad about yourself, although in a weird "solving the problems you created" way.
Nobody is “using the service in any way you like” at all. Preventing some certain pixels for being allowed to be displayed on a piece of my personal property has no connection, legal or otherwise, to usage of some freely emitted data stream someone else decided to send out freely to the world.

The person who sends it out to the world might write some things down or complain about what they want to control on my personal property, but it is just not relevant to anything. They are free to stop producing a freely available data stream if they don’t want to. Just like I am free to keep blocking certain infos they try to send me (ads).
As much as I believe that RISC-V will work its up in the embedded space, I don't think many people care about the "chips you can truly trust" argument.

The moment you're talking ASIC (or even FPGA, with an opaque bitstream), it's anybody'd guess what happens whether you use a RISC-V CPU or not. Even if the known CPU is known to be untainted, a tiny, invisible, additional CPU is sufficient to take over the chip and you'd be none the wiser. The area cost of such an additional CPU would be essentially undetectable, less than 0.01mm2 on a modern process.

Unless you're talking about making your ASIC, but in that case, a commercial offering (which typically comes with a source code license) gives you just as much access to review the code for hidden firmware.
The point about superpositions and observations is because USB memory is based on semiconductors, and semiconductors are based on quantum physics.

Isn't this basically what regexp-based lexer generators (eg. lex, 1975) do? Stdlib regexps need to run multiple passes because the library itself has no idea whether it's being used with one pattern or multiple patterns, but any lexer generator that has all the patterns at once (i.e. all of them) can merge the DFAs generated and match the input in a single pass.

Hell, I've been known to do quick & dirty versions of this technique by concatenating all the patterns together with "|" before passing them to Pattern.compile. It takes all of one line of code. Backtracking regexp engines don't really benefit from this, but DFA-based regexp engines like RE2 can get massive speedups.
If they marketed it as a bludgeoning tool.. Yes.

Effort aside, there's also luck. Americans couldn't assume that Germans haven't tried despite the lack of resources, and scored on first attempt by sheer chance.

This is one of those races where even if you're very confident that you're faster than everybody else, you still give it everything you have, because the consequences of not winning are too grave for anything else.

What you say is absolutely true. But on the flip side, young people chasing unrealistic dreams is why we have a lot of art, music, literature, science, business and progress.

Where would rock and roll or rap be if so many young people didn't "foolishly" pursue their dreams? Where would technology and the internet be?

And isn't it simply the nature of the pursuit? If a pursuit is "high risk and high reward", it naturally creates a few spectacular successes and a bunch of "failures".
True, but I like to qualify my assertions when making statements like that. People often unpack complex claims in such a way that they make the wrong assumptions about the reasoning behind them.

I believe that the assertion is Moreso true for Japan than it is for just about any other culture on earth, given their heavy cultural influence and integration into the global economy. I also believe their practices are far more hygenic than those in other non-western States.

It's much harder to pick out the western footprint in Japanese culture because western influences are so heavilly mutated during their transition to Japanese society, and more of them just don't map onto it. The same is harder to say for many other countries that more often emulate than dissect and adapt. Western elements in other societies tend to stick out like sore thumbs, and remain relatively unchanged from their sources.

India is also a good example.

The problem I see with these rules is that you're only going to read new books.

I use a heuristic that the best book about a given topic was most likely written half as long ago as people have been thinking about that topic. People write more books now, but they get less interested in old topics as time goes by, and those effects tend to cancel out.

You are right. NYPL is about the best public library one could hope for and much is available from home login. City College is one option to look at but I don't think they have a medical library. I am an NYU alum and had extensive conversations with the alumni office and library and both confirmed that access to med school library resources was a non-starter. I guess its a big issue for me because people need information to make informed healthcare decisions and so much medical research has a component of public funding. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
Thank you so much! I am going to try to fix them up knowing

> ...described type 2 diabetes as the body's natural way to limit weight gain.

Hogwash. If that were true, I'd be skinny. Aside from the standard low fat calorie restricted diets preferred by nutritionists, I've noticed that there seems to be two prevalent themes with respect to currently marketed dietary advice targeted towards T2 diabetics:

Theory #1. High fat intake or the "wrong" fat intake causes insulin resistance by infiltrating the cells or "clogging up" the insulin receptors on cells. Solution: buy my low fat vegan diet plan.

Theory #2. Eating carbs spikes glucose, which intern spikes insulin. "Insulin resistance is a function of having high insulin levels all the time." Solution: buy my low carb diet plan, or buy my book on intermittent fasting.

Isn’t the penalty for not getting the liability insurance that you get evicted? I don’t think there are criminal charges or damages that would be rewarded. So that’s just the same as Spotify suspending your account.
> Algorithms speed up this process — though there aren’t many cases where a decision is entirely automated — and can make it more precise. Sometimes, the algorithm will greenlight a person so they don’t have to go through the invasive medical tests.

That sounds like a stupid idea except for very short-term, high-premium policies. How many people immediately post to Facebook a cancer diagnosis? Unless it's close to 100% then an insurer would be a fool to rely on it for anything other than the most niche products.

> The convenience of immediately receiving a policy is appealing to those who don’t want to wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment, and that can lead to more life insurance policies being purchased.

When I was originally looking at term life insurance, the policy offered by my employer required me to go to the doctor's office for a physical. I elected the insurance but never bothered getting the physical so it never took effect. A couple years later when I got serious about term life insurance and looked into it more seriously, I discovered two things: 1) an individual policy is a much better deal long term, and 2) many (most? all?) insurers for individual policies send a phlebotomist to you--the one sent to me arrived with a needle and scale and left so quickly I almost felt jilted.

> And while life insurance sales have traditionally been face-to-face interactions with agents, that mode is quickly falling out of favor, meaning that algorithmic processes are better for online sales.

That's another thing I learned: never buy any kind of insurance from a salesperson. State Farm? Extremely overpriced because they spend a ton of money on advertising and especially their enormous sales network. How many local sales offices have you seen for Principal or Mutual of Omaha? Agents selling their policies exist all over but the sales model for these insurers is different which ultimately results in lower premiums.

And you don't need AI to disintermediate the sales networks. I got my policy from policygenius.com. There are usually local sales agents who take a cut of the premium. I think it's an artifact of the state regulatory structures. Policy Genius and some local agent get a couple dollars every month from my premium, even though the only thing local agent did was take my paperwork. But that's still just a fraction of the overhead involved for insurers with more aggressive marketing and sales models.

Finally, get term life and term disability insurance as young as you can. The moment you feel you need it (e.g. new parent) do not hesitate. Disability insurance is arguably more important than life simply because medicine is so advanced these days you're unlikely to die from accidents or disease until you're older, but you'll still likely be disabled. I'm still procrastinating on the disability, though....
Thinking about documents is one area in which paper is still king. I've got two 27" monitors on my desk, but when I want really think about a document I'm reading, I print it out and grab a pen. Reading things on a screen feels like having a straight jacket on. I can't put several pages next to each other. I can't put my finger on a page so I can flip back to it later. Marking anything up is an ordeal of UI getting in the way. Tablets aren't any better. Writing on glass feels wrong and the lack of friction makes it hard to write small text legibly. And their small size compounds the problem of not being able to refer to more than one page at once.
In some contries it is (as an option to choose from) and at some schools even compulsory.
The answer to the question of the morality of the bombing at least in part depends on whether one is a victim or perpetrator. You correctly stated that Americans would consider a fire bombing of Los Angeles to be morally wrong. From the viewpoint of the victim it's not hard to view such an act as morally wrong. From the perspective of the perpetrator it's not so clear cut.

So, this isn't an argument, my position is the correct one.

I did not know your view of the morality of this bombing was the only one that matters. Apparently far too many people are wrong on this issue then.

Even a US service academy teaches its officer candidates that the nukes were objectively wrong. The lives of civilians are more sacred than the lives of soldiers during wartime, legally.

Apparently our forces in Iraq and Afghanistan did not get the message. Of course, the perspective taught in West Point today was not the one taught in West Point in 1945. It was not the viewpoint of Army Air Force commanders either during WWII. What is deemed moral is culture and time dependent. Hence some people - myself included - think it only proper to at least consider the views and knowledge of the people at the time the decisions are made.

Since you have deemed yourself correct on this issue there isn't a point in discussion I suppose. Nothing I say can cause you to question anything on this matter. I will read any response you wish to give since I'm not so certain about my position.
From what I have seen, in the west PPT are done quick and dirty, as a way to avoid doing the hard work of writing.
