My guess is that these are unsanitary, and renovation is too expensive. So they let the building sit there until they find a buyer, speculating for an increase in value. Possibly a buyer who intends to demolish the building in order to build something else.
While I'm sure a lot of people read this and think "awesome, more security", I think "no, another hurdle in the DRM-ish battle to keep control over what the devices on your network are doing"; especially after seeing some comments here stating the logging (and potentially acting on) of the results from these fingerprinting techniques.

I MITM my network so I can filter out ads and other crap, inject custom stylesheets, and otherwise modify pages so that I can maintain a sane browsing experience even on devices with severely castrated browsers. Need to control JS on something that can't even let you turn it off? What better than stripping out the <script> tags completely before it even gets there. Want to see the full version of the page instead of some mobile portal? I can change the user agent and other headers on-the-fly. I can also check if something is phoning home, and what exactly its communication is:

Given the situation with IoT and other "smart" things these days, along with the trend of walled garden ecosystems and HTTPS Everywhere (even for DNS!), I would almost consider an HTTPS intercepting proxy essential for security and privacy purposes. Funny that the article makes no mention of this, but only the usual "evil corporate proxies" scaremongering... then again, it wouldn't fit in their narrative. Proxomitron, Proxydomo, Proxymodo(!), Adsubtract, Admuncher, and the list goes on. These were quite popular a decade ago, and would've remained so had the "security-cult" not driven them into obscurity.

This feels like just another one of those "we want to ensure we force all our content down your throat and make you powerless to stop it" schemes, and I'm pretty confident that I'm already seeing it in action. The previous technique was running JS on the page to detect modifications (including those produced by adblockers), now they're moving that war deeper.

Also, in many cases, there could be other, existing records that could optionally be sent to the IRS about changes in tax filings -- for example, the hospital could choose to forward to the IRS birth/death notices, same for marriage certificates and courts that approve divorces.

And even if they do change, there's existing government records that issuing authorities could optionally pass along to the IRS -- hospitals generate birth and death records, towns issue marriage certificates, and courts issue divorces.

Wouldn't that depend on accuracy? You're assuming here that all negative press for Islam is necessarily evil, which is false. Negative press isn't the same as bigotry.

Incidentally, I would be interested in the amount of negative coverage, say, the Catholic Church gets in the media as a point of comparison, perhaps especially in the left-leaning media.

You can also note if that is so all religion and all givernment can disappear as love thy Neigbour, be empathy and still with the world instead of going to nirvana himself, many governments are bad but anarchy may not be good either.

No one sure what is the best approach for one life. But what you said seems odd.

Interestingly, though Fairfax has considerably less coverage of Muslims than the Murdoch press, it’s still pretty substantial, at over 100 every month. That is, over three negative stories every day at the less Islam-obsessed Fairfax. ...

I hate this kind of "study". It is impossible to put them in context.

- Are those media generally negative toward everything, or just Islam?

- How many Islam stories do they publish?

- How many positive Islam stories do they publish?

- How many are objective facts? How many are commentary?

- How does this number compare to, let's say, Christian / Scientology / science etc?
OK, I've largely conceded re pigs.

But do you agree that there's a good case that rodents are more closely related to primates than most other mammals are? Or do you believe that the evidence is too weak?

I could do some serious literature research, I suppose. But I didn't really set out to write a review.
Jquery selectors are still more powerful, even if vanilla is faster.

There's more options, more possibilities. The selectors are a core part of Jquery's strength. As soon as your project requires a bit more complexity in selector needs, that's when Jquery steps up and helps out. That's what I've found anyway.
This goes right to the heart of the division we see today. The "endless state of war" Orwell warned about in 1984, is not just wars between nations, or proxy wars ~ we see it in the democratic systems as wars between factions of the population.

The system has an incentive to never produce a victor, only to prolong the conflict.

Much fighting in these wars occurs in social and traditional media, centered around "battleground topics", the OP being a clear example.

The OP is an example of a message in the battleground topic of "Islam vs the West" (aside: which is actually historically incorrect since Islam really can be said to be closer to the West than separate from it, one reason is that Islam revived Europe / Western civilization around the Mediterranean 1000 years ago [1]).

The OP article supports for the Islam side, one of many such articles. There are also many articles supporting the West side of this battleground topic.

The system will not permit there to be a conclusion to the argument, it is actually motivated to promote both sides, because this constant state of conflict is stabilizing to the democratic systems.

Note that this is a valid and even necessary strategy if onboarding or hosting or support costs are high and variable (for instance, onboarding requires custom integration with the customer’s systems, performed by the vendor; or if you may have to spin up a variable number of servers to support their usage level; or for enterprise customers who may want to negotiate certain SLAs in terms of how quickly they can reach customer support via what avenues; etc).

Like many here, as a potential customer, I find this practice frustrating, tho.

> The why is not to be practical right now, but to research these ideas to the point where they do become practical, no?

I do agree. Vision can furnish the impetus. A good "Research" effort must bear fruits, and result in "findings".

For example, in my mind, what is not addressed by Alan Kay is whether there will be any meaningful distinction between software and biology in an age where his vision is realized. Clarification (or development) of this key point would inform research efforts.

A second problematic aspect has to do with developmental methodology. Should we be working at the genotype or phenotype level? If the former, see above question. If latter, is not raising cattle somewhat analogous to tending to your objects? (Meaning: cattle herders are not biologists ..)

Related to this is the issue of scale. Biological systems are indeed majestic, and no wonder: look at the range of scales of biological mechanisms! Even our current wonder crust of layer upon layer of the net's stack amounts to nothing more than an active biological membrane buried somewhere deep in some micro corner of an 'biological organism'. The biological organism is stupendously complex and its component elements' sizes range from micrometers to meters. We have 10^13 cells in our bodies. And a single cell is by itself a marvel of complexity.

Are those scale ranges and complexity orders necessary for biological magic? Are we to attempt this with code on digital processors?

And let's not even discuss the various interactions that a single biological organism has with its environment and fellow creatures (at multiple layers of organizational structure, concurrently!).

And here, finally, we arrive at the actual wonder factory, an ecology where selection comes into play.

It would seem, at this point, to concede that perhaps the 'cattle ranchers' may not be so wrong headed, after all.

This is only partially true. If you import common libraries or fonts from a CDN, it is likely that the user's browser has already downloaded those previously, leading to reduced loading times because the resource is retrieved from the cache.

> Articles were regarded as “negative articles written about Islam”, if they “referred to Islam or Muslims alongside words like violence, extremism, terrorism or radical”. It should be noted – this is a pretty expansive definition.

One important question is how many of these stories are substancially true?

It is one thing to call for the suppression of false stories. It is another thing entirely to call for the suppression of true stories.

Does this, then, mean that true stories are automatically OK? Not necessarily; Weak men are Superweapons: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/05/12/weak-men-are-superweap...
Reply All had an episode that explored it: https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/135-the-robocall-conun...
One reason is that a law that had existed was overturned as too broad. Another is the lax laws in the USA regarding what businesses can do with information about customers. In the episode they talk about how an app on your phone that is allowed location access may sell that information to a spam caller so that the spam caller can fake the phone number to make it appear to be coming from near you.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6... is a lot clearer:

”We invited villages (clusters) in Burkina Faso to participate in a single-blind (outcomes assessor), parallel-assignment, two-arm, cluster-randomised trial over the 2015 rainy season. Villages were assigned (1:1) by random draw to either the intervention group or the control group.”

I find it interesting how that draw was done:

”Randomisation was done at a public event at the Health District offices in Diebougou, attended by members of the study team, community health workers from all eight villages, and the local health clinic nurses. In front of the attendees, the words “treatment” (ie, “intervention”) and “control” were written on four cards each, which were then sealed in identical opaque envelopes, mixed in a container, and randomly pulled from the container by each community health worker representing their village.”

I guess that helped gain the trust of the participants.

The text also shows how poor Burkina Faso is. Of the 590 children in the 18 week long experiment, they lost 6 because they died.
When you point to point to your computer, you are confusing a 'Technology' with Science. They are different. As for first principles, starting with Francis Bacon's Baconian method is the investigative method that would benefit here: [1]

"Bacon suggests that you draw up a list of all things in which the phenomenon you are trying to explain occurs, as well as a list of things in which it does not occur. Then you rank your lists according to the degree in which the phenomenon occurs in each one. Then you should be able to deduce what factors match the occurrence of the phenomenon in one list and don't occur in the other list, and also what factors change in accordance with the way the data had been ranked."

Thus we see that predictive is less important than reproducibility, which is currently in this era approaching a crisis point. [2]

We’re not disagreeing. That ease of deployment and use is Slacks killer feature. I’d go beyond that actually, there’s an entire suite of companies for whom their claim to fame is that exactly. And that’s predictable — technology is saving us time like it should.
The spectrum is just insane for this company. I’ve had pushback and app rejections for the most ridiculous things; meanwhile, I’m never more than 1-2 searches away from finding what I would call an “obvious scam”. (If their search engine wasn’t garbage, I’m sure I’d find more.)

The scammers make hundreds of dollars for every misclick. Meanwhile, did you know that if you don’t make enough money you effectively grant Apple an interest-free loan and they can wait weeks or months to finally pay you when you reach the threshold?

Whatever Apple claims to gain by making itself gatekeeper, it’s clear they fail pretty often at quality control. Meanwhile, real developers get angrier and angrier.

No ideology should be protected from criticism.

Nonsense. The primary reason Boeing wanted to retain the same type rating is because their buyers, the airlines, don't want to pay out to retrain all the pilots. Which as you say, is the correct thing to do - but regulations aren't preventing that, simple economic forces are.

Yes. It's known as 'value based' pricing.

When you see a 'contact sales' form it usually means professional sales people. Their job is trying to determine how much you are willing to pay based on how much you'll benefit from the product. But the pricing will not be $50 or $5000. Generally businesses aren't going to send professional sales people chasing a sub $10k deal.

Many SaaS companies don't want to create/maintain a huge professional sales apparatus, and/or they want to focus on getting a toe into places at $10/month/user and gradually growing through the entire company. So instead they try to slice the up the market based on per user costs, or making the specific features that businesses need really expensive. Building a pricing model that scales up quick.

>Reported edge cases of established theories need to be checked, validated and proved/disproved before moving on to modifying the theory or dumping the case as woo.

There are literally an infinite number of possible violations of established physics. Momentum is not conserved inside this cubic inch. Momentum is not conserved inside this other cubic inch...

The only reason one might prefer astral projection as a theory over the cubic-inch-ism of any particular volume is that astral projection fits a few preconceived notions about how the universe should conform to our psychological expectations. It might be surprising to hear, but exploding a goat with your mind is actually more psychologically familiar than any particular fact about quantum field theory. It involves explosions, minds, the exertion of will, and goats, while QFT involves unfamiliar components following unfamiliar rules to unfamiliar ends.

In short, if your idea is to test for a violation of the known laws of nature, great. If your idea is to test for a violation of the laws of nature that is only motivated by the predispositions you acquired in the cradle, that's not so good.
