"And I think those checks fall into the halting problem."

Metaphorically, if you mean that there isn't going to be a concrete metric that really determines whether two bits of text are "similar" with bright shining line, sure.

If you mean halting problem literally, no, this isn't affected by the halting problem. String similarity evaluation won't be strong enough to invoke the properties that result in a halting problem. For any two strings, you can certainly terminate in a reasonably period of time, and have the "correct" answer as defined by whatever the local meaning of "answer" is. (Barring a particularly perverse implementation of a string similarity algorithm probably explicitly constructed just to screw with my statement here, that for some reason starts executing the string as instructions directly or something.)
That's a perfect example you should post to JAC before. It would not pass, please never post this "joke" again.

I hope Wikimedia Foundation can act as a balancing force against corporate interests inside W3C. I wouldn't expect the membership to tie the foundation's hands in any way.

Will take this as an exercise to reader. What is the equivalent of leaking the battlestation construction site location and defense system and an appropriately authorized vehicle perfect for a first strike special ops force while having your starfleet and a ground legion lying in wait.

Conveniently forget about the indigenous population that hates you and can be co-opted by the special ops into the defenses take-down.

And, for talent recruitment purposes, the dear leader invites a known mind-hacker and terrorist pilot into his battlestation office with a view, sends the guards home early (because confidentiality) and offers the temptations that come with a weapon and concerns for friends and family.

Lesson: Malicious leaks in a quest for galactic domination may backfire, as may insider threats if you're not careful.

Need more Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning.

That’s still not what stoicism is. Those quotes are one of many about not holding your success or who you are to materialistic goals, or infinite goals.

while reflecting on yourself via meditation can be useful, it is not the only way, it doesn’t need a one week retreat, and if the goal is to meditate on the next idea that will revolutionize everything then that is definitely not stoic.

> If the food costs 80% less on the app than at the register, either the restaurant is losing the lion share of its massive margins (unrealistic) or they’re just subsidizing it with investor money.

Or the materials cost is low, the unit labor cost of prep is low, but the unit labor cost of handling in house transactions and service is high, and in-house service and takeout are charged similar prices because having separate prices posted in the restaurant depresses in-house service volume and takeout unit profit without improving takeout volume to match.

(I suspect it's a little of this plus some investor business-building subsidy.)

I'm baffled by the fact she only realized it when she was 65. I understand that when you were born like that it might just be normal, and maybe you don't put too much thought into it, but it's just... Didn't she ever wonder why other people scream like crazy when they touch a hot pan, hit their head, and she doesn't? Didn't other people realize in those 65 years that she doesn't have any reaction when it happens to her? Did she maybe just "learn" to say ouch when she hits her toe against the door frame, because that's what others do?

Also how did she not die as a child? When you never get the negative feedback of touching something got, cutting yourself, breaking a rib falling off a tree... This is just crazy to me, more than the fact that this condition actually exists.
This made me realize that it might be a fun idea to get a projector and point it at my ceiling, could use this to explore the stars with Stellarium.
My keyboard has already been replaced once. But the main problem is that it's terrible to type on because of the almost nonexistent key travel. It is the worst keyboard I've ever used on an Apple laptop.

(Oh, and the trackpad palm rejection has never worked properly the way it used to on older models, instead causing the cursor to jump around randomly when you type; software settings don't help at all, in spite of many condescending comments on the internets. Faulty or nonexistent palm rejection is a widely reported issue that there is no reliable fix for, aside from using an external trackpad or mouse. It really is the worst trackpad I've ever had the misfortune of using.)

Take it up with New Zealand, which has very strong laws about hate speech and promoting extremist communities.

> whilst Facebook, which also hosted it, was left alone?

That content makes up a microscopic amount of the content on Facebook, and it was removed when reported. That content makes up the vast majority of the traffic on Voat, however.

It seems like you're moving the goalposts here, though. We're not talking about governments banning websites, we're talking about the government forcing websites to host content that they don't want to host. That's what's at play here.

And the fact is that you are free to start a public or Tor-based community of your own, unless you're in countries where Tor is blocked, in which case I think you're in far deeper shit than this discussion is focused on.

Oh cool, a UND Computer Science Alumni hangout. I started with Pascal on the IBM mainframe VSPC in the fall of '83. Batch processing was a shock coming from an Apple ][ background in high school. Was nicer when we got access to the interactive machines like the VAX and the PDP/11. I liked Ada, vaguely remember it being on the VAX.

Still have my photocopied manual for BSD 2.9 on the PDP/11 - never imagined at the time that that Unix stuff would take over the world. Nice to have had that early exposure.

Your point is interesting but I think you're falling for the same type of fallacies people often have regarding evolution (if you keep going into water for a long time over many generations you'll eventually grow gills!).

Natural languages are not designed, they evolve. The irregular nature of the conjugation of "to go" might just be a remnant of some archaic form and nothing else, in the same way some argue that the plural of "octopus" is "octopi" or "octopodes. Does it serve any linguistic purpose? I don't see how, but it won't stop some people for saying it. Look at the use of the subjunctive in "if I were you", which is one of the only occurrences of the subjunctive outside of set-phrases in day-to-day modern English. Is it really necessary? If one was to say "if I was you" would it lose some additional nuance or meaning in practice?

I often see people trying to rationalize some language features (such as arbitrary genders of nouns in many languages) as error correction or some "optimization" but I'm generally unconvinced. Maybe "I went" is just the linguistic equivalent of a platypus, some weird byproduct of a very long evolution with no other intrinsic purpose in the grand scheme of things.
This is pretty much it in a nutshell as far as I can tell. If the sensors don't agree, and MCAS switches off, then the pilots have to be ready to deal with the plane trying to pitch up and stall on their own.

When would that happen? Take off and go-arounds.

Pilot is coming in for a landing, something goes wrong (too much cross wind, plane on the taxiway, Etc.) what they do is they pull back on the stick and push the throttles up to max to get into a climb. If MCAS is disabled and the pilot hasn't trained to fly the plane without it, there is a risk it will pitch up and stall onto its tail. Not a good place to be.
I loved Apple and their products but a series of things made me move away from it. I am now very happy with a much more powerful Lenovo Yoga 730-15 (i7 8Cores + 24Gb-Ram + 1tb SSD) and my new Samsung S10. Until Apple remains just one more in the pack and not the powerhouse in support, design and usability it used to be, I'll stick with Lenovo and Samsung. Farewell Apple, it's been real...

That's not a same-restaurant advantage.

It's not even really an advantage; restaurants usually don't have open kitchens.
This is whataboutism to it's extreme.

The entire motivation for this change at Facebook is because someone just finished killing 50 people in the name of white supremacists and streamed it. You would have to bury your head pretty deep to not have heard anything about this.
I think this is a limited interpretation of the hypothesis. The version of your brain that doesn’t have an idea is unable to think of it. You can then synthesize a new idea from your existing ideas, and no longer have that version of your brain (you have a minor, or in some cases major, version bump). Then once you have the new version of your brain with the new idea, you can use it to further synthesize new ideas. This process of reflection and intellectual growth is the only way to break out of your SW prison is to synthesize new ideas - until you do, you are exactly as the hypothesis says, limited to the ideas you currently have. Sometimes this process is involuntary, so it doesn’t feel like you just booted up a new version of yourself.
>I can go into FL Studio right now, add the two chords to the piano roll and set the notes to slide and it works.

FL Slide Notes is a proprietary feature (a creative use of MIDI) that only works with FL Studio Plug-ins[1][2]. The new shiny plugin you got for that fat sound? No note slide for you.

So, this is not a feature you can count on in any DAW, but specific to particular set of plug-ins. (In particular, Live had nothing like that last time I checked, nor did the DAW's I use).

ROLI has a more advanced version of this, but again, the support is limited because it is not standard MIDI.

Running through it in my head, the largest hurdle seems to be the pinching motion required to scrape off a blade or tines. I can imagine someone being able to support a utensil from underneath, move it slowly in the right direction, but not able to apply enough pressure to clean it. It might also be harder to keep hold of a wet utensil in water, or it might be impossible to bend over to fill and unload a dishwasher.

Of course, it could be as simple as just saying that you have to feed yourself, but you don't have to do the dishes. Someone might be able to do 10 things a day, but not 20.
90% of the junk we consume is built in Asia.

90% of the trash we produce is shipped back to Asia and Africa for """recycling""".

Sometimes it's good to take a few steps back and a good hard look at ourselves before blaming china / africa / russia / whoever_as_long_as_it_isn't_me.

First world countries are the root cause of China's and Africa's pollution. Why do you think everything is delocalised there ? Because rich EU/US companies want to help the poor locals ? Or because it's cheap af and there are next to no regulations concerning pollution ?

The places that sell food on there have optimized to keep costs down ==> no physical locations except for a kitchen, no waiters, etc. They're literal food factories that optimize for food delivery capacity and probably only buy a few main ingredients in bulk and shorten down their menu selection to minimize costs even further.

They are only restaurants in name. Also I've noticed that these kind of "restaurants" are also appearing in Western food delivery apps too where the price + delivery is actually cheaper than buying from a physical restaurant, I once experienced this buying shawarmas on a food delivery app.

From the same ADL source on white supremacy:

> White supremacist Richard Spencer, who runs the National Policy Institute, a tiny white supremacist think tank, coined the term “Alternative Right”

Or from the SPLC source:

> The racist so-called “alt-right,” which came to prominence in late 2015, is white nationalism’s most recent formulation

Both clearly use them in the same breath.

We can argue semantics about one being the tool for the other etc etc. But that doesn't change the fact that they are being tightly related by organizations that is an authority to Facebook.

SPLC and ADL is very aware of its power, and has related much of the prominent dissenters of wildly different ideologies to what they claim is alt-right; Maajid (an arab muslim, they lost a lawsuit on this one and apologized), Jordan Peterson (an individualist liberal), Ben Shapiro (a pretty normal conservative), Dave Rubin (a classical liberal) etc etc.

SPLC and ADL are by this evidence too often bullshitters that don't relate what they say to truth, but instead relate it to their ideology that is not preoccupied with truth-seeking. It is really a shame their views are elevated like this as a justification for Facebooks and other organizations abuse of power.

I was rather fond of Discovering Statistics using R. It doesn't drive this point about linear models home quite so lucidly, and the author's sense of humor can be off-putting to some. But it generally does a pretty decent job of explaining the logic and motivations behind different statistical models and tests, and remains one of the more readable math textbooks I've ever trudged through.
I feel the same about my 2012 MacBookPro. While it was a _tiny_ bit down the path of "not user serviceable", replacing the battery and trackpad was extremely easy. And one of the first things I did to it was replace/upgrade Apple's RAM and drop an SSD into the optical bay.
I don't know what Wikimedia expects specifically from becoming a member at this point, but there's nothing wrong in showing support (via financial contributions) for standards on the web per se I guess.

Seems like W3C can use all the money it gets as there's not much activity in web standardization these days, with core efforts being taken elsewhere. Maybe that's even a good thing after 25 years of attempting to shoehorn HTML/DOM into an application scene graph. W3C's ongoing efforts with HTML 5.3, SVG 2, Payment, SOLID, etc. are all stalled as it seems, with only the CSS WGs pushing forward. Not that there aren't areas that could benefit from standardization. For example, I can see an emerging need of a standard for copyright and privacy policy metadata (or even enforcement) in light of recent EU legislature.

Question is if W3C is the right organization to take this to, whether its organizational structure with paid memberships is a good fit, and whether it has good standing and authority as organization for standardization.
First of all, WTW seems like a BS solution in search of a problem that wont go anywhere, anyway. So I don't see a reason not only to bother with them, but even to be bothered by what they do. Even if needed, this is much better: https://plus.codes/

Second, a nit: "Their grid is static, so any tectonic activity means your W3W changes.".

Not "any tectonic activity" but the rare tectonic activity that keeps your house number the same but changes your long/lat.

Third, another nit: "Numbers are fairly universal. Lots of countries use 0-9. English words are not universal. How does W3W deal with this?"

They don't have to? Domain names are not universal either (even when they added unicode after tons of years it has near zero adoption, plus implementation issues in many browsers/client libs. Heck still today Chrome shows the Poopla domain as mere punycode: https://xn--ls8h.la/)
I wrote and published a book through Createspace and Kindle on Amazon a few years ago. I got an email from Amazon that the Kindle book was flagged as containing material from other sources.

I emailed back that I had the rights to the material and provided a bunch of links. I never heard back but they went ahead and published.
