"Think of the children" can be used as an emotional play, but that's not a dumb cliche. There are not many things modern civilization has agreed upon, but one of them is that a child is an independent human being with their own rights and not the property of parents.

In fact, it's a logical consequence of recognizing a human being as an independent individual with natural rights and not the subject of a monarch or whatever authority you have. (Which is itself a pretty modern concept, not commonly recognized in most traditional societies.)
Yep. I still think it’s a cargo cult effect: I can just hear them thinking “if I use a Mac I will have a higher impact factor” lol
This is a very hard task, not least of which because your definition of what is a good "topic" probably has more to do with the use case in your head than anything generic about language. E.g. what does it mean to "make"? Does cooking count? You will have an answer, but it is not a universal answer.

I would personally avoid trying to categorize these questions into discrete topics since that does not actually seem to be your final goal.

My suggestion would be to do some sort of clustering of your questions, and then go through the clusters in decreasing size. It will be coarse, but should be sufficient to support what I assume is your goal of trying to answer the most frequent questions first.

To do the clustering, I would encode the questions into vectors with some pretrained model, e.g. https://www.dlology.com/blog/keras-meets-universal-sentence-...

And then run a few clustering algorithms on it to see if you can get "good enough" clusters for your purposes. You should be able to hack up something in a week to see if this is a workable approach.

There are other short text clustering/topic modeling approaches that people have published papers on, but it's hard to know a priori whether they will work for your data, so I would avoid sinking too much time into something that isn't your actual core goal.

Once you actually have the answers you are making for these questions, I think it makes much more sense to categorize those into whatever ontology/knowledge graph you think is good for kids. Trying to do it on the questions is just going to be a world of pain for little gain IMO.

Once you have documents (or transcripts of your videos), you're at least in the realm of traditional search / Q&A systems which have established ideas on how to determine if the query matches any documents you may have. You can even use this system to start weeding out duplicates by putting subsequent questions into your search system to see if answers pop up.
Well, here is the data:

Fastly also has more "points of presence" than AWS/GCP

Fastly has deployments in 17 north american cities. AWS is in 5.

They're pretty different strategies. For every massive AWS datacenter on a continent, fastly has at least 3 tiny ones -- inevitably closer to your customers, meaning lower RTT.

^ This is what I was speaking to. This holds for Android.
AOSP is way too fragmented. An "app" dating back to, e.g. Android 2.3 (not that long ago), or even as late as Android 4.0 will not even build in a form suitable for a present-day version of AOSP - you have to go and rewrite the code yourself, there is no backward compatibility that reaches that far. Linux platforms are truly mature and can easily run code dating back to the 1980s. Add to that the pointless overhead caused by Dalvik/ART (especially wrt. RAM use - quite critical on a system with no swap space whatsoever!), and the gratuitous differences with widespread Linux kernel and userspace standards. Starting from scratch on a better base is short-term pain for long-term gain.

Good clarification. I’ve regularly seen helium refills of an MEG scanner and apart from being cold it didn’t look particularly troublesome.
I agree things would be initially difficult, but I don't see how we could make a reader for less known disks without replicating their original drive mechanics as well, which is probably the hardest part. To me it would be more "scalable" to sample the magnetic field relative to the head position on a plane (on which we fixed the disk), then building a structure where each 2D element is mapped onto its position on the disk and assigned the value of the magnetic field. The result wouldn't be that different from this project pictures, but we could swap a 5.25 disk with a 3.5 one without changing a single screw in the reader. A further development could be reading more disks at once, provided their surface can be reached by the head.
It would surely be useless while we have working disk drives, probably not 20 years from now...

Sales taxes are a US-centric concept. Most of the world uses VAT, though Australia uses a variant known as the GST. (And not to be outdone, Hawaii has a variant of VAT based on gross income.)

That being said, for SaaS, it is still currently generally the prevailing rule that sales/VAT/GST/whatever compliance isn't required in the customer's country unless you have a physical nexus to that country (i.e., office, employee, etc.)

However, the US tech dominance has resulted in many countries proposing or even adopting rules that would subject SaaS transactions to VAT/GST/whatever compliance regardless of the location of the vendor. Most intl tax experts agree that this will become the standard within a decade, though there is substantial disagreement as to how soon within the next decade the transition will occur.

That's very true! Fortunately in our case (at least with the company I work for currently) we don't do any work outside of cell coverage or more than a few miles from a hospital. Part of the tower safety process though is to decide before climbing the tower where you will take someone if they get injured and how you'll get them them, or who/how you'll call if they can't be transported.
Tangential, and possibly revealing ignorance here. I definitely don't get why clouds of dark matter surrounding galaxies don't fall into the black hole at the center. Dark matter is there to explain why the outer stars of a galaxy rotate faster than expected, but why is dark matter not distributed roughly in the same density distribution as visible matter?

You'd be surprised. Longer breastfeeding suppresses ovulation and menstruation, so fertility is relatively rare. Childbirth works better squatting. Humans evolved to be hunter gatherers, most of our history is pre-settled-agriculture, we do fit that lifestyle better.

And patriarchy was never contingent on those things anyhow. It's just a cultural choice that got stuck because it was woven into the form of citified civilization.
Here's one way to do implement a simple state machine like this in Scheme, with a procedure representing a state, and using tail calls (function calls that don't return) for the transitions:

(define (order-creating-state)
(let loop-within-state ()
(let ((event (get-event)))
(case (event-type event)

((add-item)
(add-item-to-order (event-data event))
(loop-within-state))

((delete-item)
(delete-item-from-order (event-data event))
(loop-within-state))

((finalize)
(order-finalizing-state))

(else (error "order-creating-state: invalid event"))))))

In Scheme you could also decide on your state model, and make the code more maintainable in terms of that state model, by defining a minilanguage or domain-specific language for it:

(state order-creating (event)
(add-item (add-item-to-order event))
(delete-item (delete-item-from-order event))
(finalize (transition-to order-finalizing)))
I've looked at the financials of hearing aid companies before. And the short answer is that the money is not going to the hearing aid company. Of the $5k you spent on your hearing aid, the hearing aid company was probably paid $500, and the other $4.5k went to the audiologist.

No offense taken. If I didn't get burned (I guessed "burned" means to have observed this first hand countless times over 15 years in the industry), then how would I know it to be true?

You can know Java, but if the team is using mongo and you don't know mongo, then there is a problem - if you know java and mongo - but there is a react front-end, then there is a problem... get my drift. The industry is going with a "experience doesn't count - you have to know what I know or be good at faking it" kind of theme. It very prevalent.

Trusting the Chinese government is a folly. Lots of cures work until they kill you. The standards are so low (or nonexistent) that results are not always the results you want. Yes it's FUD. Well earned FUD.

I don't think this is the right way of thinking about this. People react to things in very different ways - and this might have worked for this person. The reason we put in place mentorship and different structures to help people is so that there are as many avenues for success as possible. It might be this guy kicked ass in the one way he was given. That doesn't mean his team is doing the right thing, but it's not fair to assume that he actually missed out. There's a difference between doing things because they need to be done to raise success rate, and doing things because they're essential.

> Most reports are that major ISPs are highly profitable. Undercapitalized local ISPs always seem to struggle, however -- as do companies like Google when they aren't serious.

What reports? Verizon’s wireline division reports a 5% operating profit margin in a good year. It’s been 15 years since Verizon started deploying FiOS, and it’s not clear they’ve even recovered the initial capital cost yet. Charter, the biggest pure cable company, reported massive annual losses in the years leading up to the merger with TWC.

The idea that wireline broadband isn’t “highly profitable” doesn’t pass the smell test. Everyone is trying to get out of wireline.

I'm okay with how the US handled this. The crime he pleaded guilty to caused innocent people real financial harm, and it's not like the US sent FBI agents over to the UK to pick him up. He flew here on his own, knowing (presumably) that he had committed a crime that could get him arrested here.

Kinda stupid to commit crimes against people in a country and then travel to that country before the statute of limitations has expired.

Interesting question because answering it is somewhat risky, assuming no secret sauce or years of work to launch.
As I've already said others don't have to approve or tolerate whatever it is you do or are by nature of being authentic. That is not related, why would it be? Being authentic is an end to itself, but it makes no guarantees, and the clash between the individual and society is often the point.
Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the sort of direction that truly disrupts the hearing aid industry - something that can leverage the scale on in-demand consumer electronics to bring the cost down, but with enough DSP capability to do interesting things.

Right, it's nebulous and a good subject for philosophy textbooks. As far as practical advice goes, I think it's not too much to say that you can draw the line when you're behaving in a way that feels unnatural in hopes that others will respond positively to it.

I mean, for many of us that’s already a problem, and has been for a long time. Ever mentioned your same-sex partner somewhere a Government might be able to find it? There’s now a whole bunch of countries you can’t visit or pass through without being at risk of imprisonment or worse, yay.
I would argue that morality is not simply a philosophical matter, but also a strategy for a society to survive, that's why it changes with the technology. For instance strategy that was necessary and normal for hunter-gatherers: kill weak or extra children for whom tribe didn't have resources, seems horrible now when as a society we have resources to keep them all.

In the case when child is truly incapable to exist without the mother, (before it is born), even most of the modern thinking allows to end it. But i think this will change when we have technology to grow people from cell to child in a lab.

With children it is still easy to argue that if parents do not want them they can't kill them because they are unique and the society always needs more of them. But ai is not unique, you can have an ai interacting with real world, providing for itself, and use an exact copy of that ai in an experiment (even the ai could experiment on a copy of itself!).

I think if a society decides to not allow any experiments on ai/brains in a jar, it would have hard time to enforce this, and if it succeeds enforcing the ban it will be out-competed by a neighbour that allows such experiments.

My point was that, for a complex product like a computer, an individual consumer can't decide this. A shop still using a C64 is lucky that it didn't break -- or that there's plenty of other C64's for sale which broke in different ways, so they could be cannibalized for parts!

I was happy with my C64, but the 1541 drive kept failing (even 25 years ago). As a user, I'm able to ignore network effects for the device's use. That's merely an inconvenience. I can't ignore network effects for repair and maintenance. That will turn it into a fancy paperweight.
