I've been in a few and also assume it's deliberate.

To be honest, I get a huge kick out of funky/odd/slightly off translations. I know they're trying their best and I seriously appreciate that, but I still find it humorous when it's really bad, just as I expect them to find humor in me goofing up trying to say something in Japanese.

On the really bad note, I saw what I assume to be donation box on the memorial to mobilized children in Hiroshima that said 'Please Help Yourself'. I had to do a second read of that and it conjured up a mental image of some American digging around in the box for spare change to the sheer horror of Japanese onlookers.

But who knows, maybe that was the proper translation and it was for the poor who couldn't quite make the change they needed for something essential. But when I see a box of money bolted to a memorial, I generally assume it's either for the people being memorialized or upkeep of the memorial.

Other interesting translations from my Japan vacation:

- 24 hr Reparking

- The coke of food for specified health use.

- A lamp warning label that said "mind the burn."

>And is this not what happens traditionally as well? Politicians give different speeches to different audiences.

People seldom understand how changes in quantity/ease/volume translate to quantitative changes...

Politicians giving "different speeches to different audiences" (something that happens since time immemorial) and the technologically amplified ability for all the social and traditional online media one consumes to give them 24/7 targeted echo-bubble ads, news, and recommendations based on what audience group they belong to, is like the difference between eating a whole cake and filling a little stuffed, and gorging for a month on sweets upon sweets and dying from a heart attack...
The incredibly vast sphere of gene-to-gene interactions is very poorly understood.

Anything changed in the DNA can have completely unforeseen consequences because genes and their products influence expression of other genes.

Which genes does each gene influence? Directly or indirectly? To what extent (strength of up- or downregulation)? Only under specific conditions? Only if 3 other genes are present and not regulated in a different manner?

I have done some computational gene interaction analysis by building regulatory interaction networks in Cytoscape using sequencing and expression data based on specific research [1].

My subjective impression is that messing with genes is little but an unpredictable endeavor at this point. The gamble may pay off but I don't think anyone can honestly tell you something about long-term effects in each individual.

> Vertus were always intended as ostentatious, bling products, rather than fantastic phones. They were mid-range models covered in gold and diamonds etc.

I never understood this. If you're going to make a ridiculously expensive phone by taking an existing model and covering it in gold and diamonds, then why not start out with a high-end model ? It's not going to have any significant impact on the price anyway.
Wow, this is awesome.

Since both are located in the capitol area of Finland and names are too close to another not to cause a mix up, I think it's important to clear any confusion:

The FoilChat company was founded on November 2013, and their first app was launched in April 2016. FoilChat is proprietary mobile/web app built in Java, JS and possibly Swift or Objective C. The encryption apparently uses RSA (what even is forward secrecy?), AES-CBC and PBKDF2.

TFC or Tinfoil Chat was named in July 2013, and the first release was in December 2013. TFC is FOSS system built in Python. TFC uses X448, XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2.

So, same country, same start year. Different authors, different target market, different language, different protocol, different security level.
If the validity of any religion were testable, it's arguable that we'd all know by now which one it was. But I'm not aware of any such experimental data. So it's all just speculation.
What you want is one thing, the software is not there yet, especially for notebook replacement. Unless all you do is edit text files or browse web of course.

It is a gimmick, albeit a more useful one - have tablet and phone in 1 device. The thing is, tablets for most folks are not that great thing that everybody though they would be.

I don't see many people these days using tablets, most folks went back to phones which can do exactly the same stuff. For reading books kindle et al are much better (and cheap) product. People upgrade phones more often, and who wants to use sluggish oldish tablet compared to blazing fast phone that is always in the pocket.
For me it's the difference between connected smart and autonomously smart.

An example might be something like Google Glass and how augmented reality is being considered as a product offering. All of the scenarios are along the lines of "And you will be able to spot your Uber from a distance whilst getting discreet notifications from your contacts" which are inherently all connected services, offering data enrichment to third parties with a side effect of some convenience to you.

Compared to an augmented reality story that if it were fully autonomous and independent would require an abundance of sensors and near real-time processing such that it could do things like edge highlight for the sight impaired, colour correction for those impairments, or as enhancements of human capabilities like being able to see in parts of the spectrum not visible to the human eye.

The obsession with connected and data is leading to the Futurama episode where they connect to the internet and fight through adverts and it is firmly dystopian, whereas autonomy could lead us towards Geordi La Forge's visor.

Surely the time complexity of the abacus sort is O(ksqrt(n)+cn)? What with the time taken for the beads to fall being proportional to the square root of the distance under freefall and proportional to n itself when at terminal velocity? (so strictly O(n)).

>A, an insurance company, is the one fighting to get the cost down from B, the healthcare provider.

If the healthcare cost is zero or negligible the need for insurance is also zero. You just pay it out of pockets.

The insurance company might want to lower their bills (when they do pay for your treatment), but they have a counter-incentive to health costs being lowered too much, and a positive incentive to get health costs higher for the uninsured.
It's either going to be a massive phone, or a tiny laptop. It's going to be wrapped in a case so it can prop itself up as a "laptop" with the device, keyboard, and case all separate.

It's going to be a phone with a huge, heavy battery, or a weak laptop with very short battery life. Running a limited phone OS or a heavy laptop OS. You'll have to open your phone to use it, and close your laptop to take a phonecall unless you also have a headset and are close.

This is as gimmicky as anything, possibly pending the arrival of magical graphene technology.
I’m not sure about that counter-argument. POTUS is currently the most powerful position in the world, but between 1850 and 1915 (approximate dates), I think the British and possibly French empires were more powerful.

In this time period, three American presidents were assassinated. The UK lost one MP, who was not the PM, and apparently the killers only targeted him because he happened to be walking with their main target at the time. None of the UK royals were assassinated in that period.
It's not just individual targets. The big concern is economics of automating remote exploitation, as explained by ACLU's Christopher Soghoian here: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8136-stopping_law_enforcement_ha...

The only thing that will make politicians sit up and take notice of privacy issues is for them to experience first-hand what loss of control of their private data does to someone's life - identity theft, poor decisions or benign mistakes catching up with you/being re-interpretted, merciless judgment from others, relentless targeted advertising... Especially since politicians are notoriously cagey about their private lives, this sort of experience would be quite an eye-opener.

TBH is anybody surprised? Bendable plastics/cables that should work after maybe 50,000 folds (few years of usage) are hard, and first iteration of actual display? Without losing at least some pixels, backlight, contrast etc in the area of the fold, or display actually cracking? Highly expected.

Now if they actually managed to get all things right in the first iteration, now that would be a huge engineering achievement. They will get there, but give them 2-3 generations

You cannot turn irrational belief into rational one just by making a flawed argument about it.

Argument: "If earth was flat it would look flat. Earth looks flat therefore it must be flat."

I'm in a similar boat, I used to use Xubuntu extensively, but have been on Kubuntu for the last while. KDE _feels_ light, and the metrics in System Monitor agree.

It might work for using a handheld device for a few seconds, but what I’m worried about, and what the GP wanted, was “a nice large wall size screen”, and in that context, doing real work for extended periods, I remain doubtful.

Honestly, I think this is the wrong way of looking at things. The Fediverse isn't really like a single social network that's shattered amongst many instances ... it's more like a bunch of individual, separate hangouts, in the vein of classic forums and IRC chatrooms and fandom websites, which have the ability to talk to each other and share stuff if they want.

It's not so much about "blocking" mastodon.social as not choosing to link up with it - because your instance is a specific community, and actual human social relations thrive when they can choose who they're hanging out with. So you choose to talk to other smaller, more diverse communities that you can actually get to know a good chunk of the people in them, instead of just drinking straight from the firehose that is a big instance.

Federating with another instance is basically two groups of people deciding to hang out together, effectively merging. Federating with mastodon.social means, effectively, merging your community with mastodon.social ... which means submerging it beneath the mass of mastodon.social's much greater activity.

A vibrant Mastodon isn't a more-obtuse recreation of the Twitter experience. Twitter is already Twitter. It's about fostering all the things that Twitter isn't - personal and Dunbar-scaled and locally moderated and diverse.
If the feature was using the fact that the user supplied the email password, parsing the emails for contacts or logging in with the password and getting the contact list, how on earth could that have been a part of an earlier import contact feature? Did they already ask users for their email password for that? If not this is a feature that needed special code, impossible to be an accident.
The obvious extrapolation is that we're all now brains in jars, and this existence we perceive is a shared hallucination brought on by the jars all being connected to the same keep-the-brains-alive-system.

This is laughable. Growing your own food is a cute hobby, but if it was actually adopted at scale, the resource, energy and land costs associated with food production would go up by somewhere between 10-100x.

It doesn't really matter whether you would or would not take the gamble; it depends on whether the FDA would be willing to let you.

I've built mljar for myself. When I was starting working on it (2016) there were no such solutions or they were very expensive (over 50k/year).

I want to have a service where I can train many models and be able to check every model (for example check learning curves). I want a solution that can train many models in parallel in the cloud, so I don't need to heat my laptop and dont need to wait a lot. I think I achieved this. Is it better than other solutions? Hmmm, it is very similar to others (at the end, they all train some ML models), but ...

After creating the AutoML solution I come to the conclusion that AutoML is broken: https://pplonski.github.io/automatic-machine-learning-is-bro... - even if you can easily train ML model (good or bad - doesn't matter), there is still hard to use/apply machine learning in real life.

Right now, I think that AutoML is just a brick in the solution that should offer automatization. There should be a service similar to Zappier but with machine learning - you can join your data and services with ML models which live in your data ecosystem and use ML for automatization.
