I do wonder if we'll ever reach a liberal enough society to be OK with machine-generated porn of all types, especially those taboo or illegal now (child pornography, sadism, zoophilia, etc). I could foresee it being banned before it even gets commercialized, which in my opinion would be unfortunate because I could see it as the methadone of porn to the "real stuff's" heroin.
Crazy fact from the 19th century: if you store unwashed eggs in a slaked lime solution, they will last more than a year unrefrigerated:

That sounds a lot like a slingshot maneuver around a planet to get more momentum. Strictly speaking you're taking energy from the planet/sun to do so. An unchanging magnetic field still exists in the real universe, and I find it difficult to believe that it would be completely unaffected by the interaction. fwiw I'm also no expert

edit: I'm taking unchanging to be a practical implementation of say a permanent magnet here, rather than a theoretical construct.

Introduction – The Zig Programming Language
European (German) here. Though I've been traveling to the US a couple of times I've never realized the fact that eggs are washed and refrigerated there. Here in Germany eggs come with a best-before date and an additional date stating when you should put them in the refrigerator. Example for eggs bought in the second half of March: best before April 16 2019, chill from April 10 2019.

I usually put eggs in the fridge once I got them from the grocery store, so they will last a bit longer. I've never run into any issues with this and it seems to be way less energy-intensive.

It's an asset like anything else, so AFAIK same profit and loss rules apply.

For a business that means yes, you can.

For individuals that means no, you can't, unless there's a special exception such as losing your cash in a federally declared disaster.

If you're both and the assets are mixed (e.g. operating budget and retirement account are both kept under your mattress), I imagine the IRS would presume the cash was personal and it'd be difficult to argue otherwise.

I'm not an accountant but have studied basic tax law. I only briefly Googled to make sure I'm not patently misrepresenting things, though.
This is really cool, I've been thinking about your comment for the past 15 minutes. I can imagine a swath of these BI tools, and also something that could be used in a consumer setting to manage your finances, health/exercise, mood, and more. Sort of like a personalOS.
Ok, point withdrawn. Overstaying a visa is not a criminal offense. That's a new one for me. Thanks.

I think your "who is hurt" approach is weak though.

If a country can't enforce its own laws - or worse selectively enforces them - no one is obviously "hurt" but it erodes trust in the systems and process itself. It leaves everything up to the judgement of the people on the ground and damages the concept of equality under the law. It's a dangerous game to play.
What I mean is that plants are also alive. Do you not respect and value plant life?

The stakes in the race to come up with easier to make, better performing, higher-temperature superconductors are huge. Aside from the oft-evoked vision of levitating trains, reducing the energy loss in electric power transmission would boost economies and sharply cut harmful emissions around the world. Qubit fabrication could suddenly become practical, perhaps ushering in the rise of quantum computers. Even without superconductivity, ordinary computers and other electronics could get a huge boost in performance versus cost from twistronics, due to the fact that entire complex electronic circuits could in theory be built into a few sheets of pure carbon, without needing a dozen or more complexly etched layers of challenging materials common to today’s chips. “You could integrate wildly different properties of matter into these circuits right next to one another, and vary them with local electric fields,” said Dean. “I can’t find words to describe how profound that is. I’d have to make something up. Maybe dynamic material engineering?”

I’d argue that it’s only autism if it’s severe. During the 1980’s being socially awkward wasn’t a clinical medical condition.

If you disrupted class in the 1980’s, you got taken out of general population, and put into special education with a high ratio of teachers or aides, and received a proximity of attention as needed, and that was your generalized clinical marker for genuine problems. The consensus of the elementary grade day-care center we call kindergarten through fifth grade in public schools resolved who was incapable of participating at a reasonable level.

Meanwhile, being a weirdo with eccentricities and preferences wasn’t something that demanded medication and diagnosis and labels and highly precise rules for what’s normal and what’s not. You could be awkward. It wasn’t a big deal.

Now, that is no longer true. People are keeping score starting at five years old, boxing kids into limited futures of medication and unrelenting demands for strict behavioral protocols.

So, what changed? The schools. The doctors. The kids didn’t change. The adults did. The trend was to demand more from children, and thus force them into tighter constraints in adulthood. The trend was to try and force a society to do more with less, and to weed out the weak.

Kids have to do homework in kindergarten, and that is bullshit. They shouldn’t have homework until middle school, really. They should just be kids. They shouldn’t have anxiety about grades when they’re little. They should be permitted to exist as tiny little humans, getting a first look at a gigantic world. Up until age ten, they should just be exposed to what it means to be a person. By ten, their personality is developed, and with puberty around the corner, a few short years to tighten up the basics would work, if public schools were competent. Big if.

But, when it comes to “spectral autism” the premise is a joke. If you can brush your teeth, comb your hair, tie your shoes, and iron and fold clothes but choose not to then you aren’t autistic. If you’re capable of working at McDonald’s but choose not to then you aren’t autistic. If you could theoretically wait tables or tend a bar, as a capable server but choose not to then you aren’t autistic. If you can drive a car across town, you aren’t autistic.

Ain’t no spectrum about it. Either it’s debilitating pathology or it isn’t. People aren’t suffering from syndromes at unprecedented scales. The rules of society changed in the late 90’s, and judgement is passed with greater scrutiny than ever before.

I'm assuming it's because the eggs end up quite dirty, therefore they must be washed, which removes the protective membrane. And perhaps the chickens are more prone to acquiring salmonella.
I don't think efforts of creating a cure are curbed by effective means of treating the infection.

The cure seems to be decades in the future though, so I don't really see an alternative to pushing for both.
This comment has been downvoted but the phrase, "What if the child consents?" Is actually bandied about frequently on political subreddits like r/libertarian as a mockery by their detractors
The far right are only pro-free speech for as long as it benefits them. Historically, whenever they or similar authoritarians have taken power, basic right such as free speech and the right to assemble are the very first things to be restricted.

They are hypocrites in the extreme. They only want free speech for themselves, and no one else.
I would feel sorry for the taxi drivers, but I can't bring myself to. I lived in Perth (Western Australia, one of the states reported to be involved in this suit) for almost 10 years without a car, and the taxi industry routinely failed to deliver even a basic service. I can't count the number of times I've had a booked cab fail to turn up, or a driver refuse my fare because it was "too far" or "not far enough". Not to mention the eye-watering costs.

I recently (Feb) used Uber in Perth, and had to wait a maximum of 10 minutes to get a lift, even from the suburbs. Drivers have been unfailingly polite and usually interesting to talk with. It's provided a needed source of supplementary income to people struggling with the mining downturn.

I'm not a fan of Uber's old culture (I have no idea if they're changed since the management shakeup). I'm not a fan of startups just ignoring regulation. But I can't argue about these results.

I hope the taxi industry changes and adapts to Uber, rather than using legislation to force Uber to become more like the taxi industry.
I dislike them just as much as anyone else but banning and censorship is wrong and actually dangerous in the long term.

Tumblr is an absolute goldmine of pure original content unavailable anywhere else.

A savvy enterprise that acquired it should re-allow adult content with however many filters they like to make amends with the community and devote a while to redo UX and quality of life. Content creators will absolutely come back, as no proper competitor ever rose in the current vacuum yet. After that it could turn into a unicorn in less than a year.
How is it any different to Reddit though ?

The internet is a cruel and hostile place, where if you are vulnerable you are eaten alive. You must proceed as if every input comes from far someone smarter than you and bent on your destruction. Your designs must trade off other desirable properties in exchange for a defensible security posture. Human environments can be like that too, but good ones aren't.

System design, in some organizations, is about generating a paper trail that protects the architect's career in the investigation after something inevitably goes wrong. You cannot take prudent risks, adopt good new technologies, etc, even if they actually reduce project failure rate. Project failures still happen, and having done something like that on a failed project is career suicide.

In other organizations, teammates feel completely at ease having conversations that, reported to HR out of context, could be career-ending.

"Be vulnerable" says you should try to make your organization more like the latter, which sometimes means going first, taking risks with your metaphorical ass uncovered and showing your teammates that you trust them not to defect.
The HIV plague is wiping out the productive age group in Africa.

I sympathize for western patients and am glad the condition is treatable for them... but we really should figure out how to deploy treatments to African residents, implementing the logistics, delivering the education, removing the graft and corruption that keeps killing hundreds of thousands.
Germany had 12'000 cases of salmonella in 2016, 14'000 in 2017. USA has 300 Megacitizens, Germany 80. Germany vaccinates the chickens and does not wash or refrigerate eggs in the supermarket.

So, atleast in germany, you're 3 times less likely to get infected by salmonella, relative to the population.

I would however note that there is no reliable statistic on how many of those are due to eggs and how many are from other sources, considering meat and other products can carry it as well.
They feed the chickens concentrates and keep them in locked up in "batteries". Some of them die there and they're not removed immediately. There are plenty of horrid videos on Youtube.

Compare that to a soil growing chickens that scrape around for worms and eat grass, corn, wheat and leftovers from the kitchen. In fact that's the best part: you can feed them most most vegetable leftovers as long as they're fresh. Only the younger ones need to be fed some concentrates until they grow up because they're quite vulnerable to diseases carried by other birds, especially pigeons.

The washing does to something; eggs have a protective layer on the outside. Washing them removes it. With this layer, an egg cannot be invaded by bacteria after it's been laid.

Vaccinating the chickens and keeping the eggs unwashed is basically as much natural protection as you can get from nature, washing them means you have to protect the egg yourself a lot more, otherwise salmonella and other bacteria can infect it.
To silence people you disagree with, and to suppress inconvenient facts and debate.

Great example.

Hey yeah, doesn't the law prevent companies that are "telecommunications services" from also being "information services?"

Visual depictions include photographs, videos, digital or computer generated images indistinguishable from an actual minor, and images created, adapted, or modified, but appear to depict an identifiable, actual minor.

But that's not so in Japan. So one ought take care when torrenting Japanese films in the US.

It really depends. When you are hiring senior programmers, don’t set the bar very high, then you can filter out majority of bad applications in a 60mins interview. For both hard skills and soft skills.

Then you need to spend more time for the remaining ones to find the right people.

No, but these cases can be identified. For ex - children or people with unfaithful spouses. A majority of HIV infections are due to unprotected sex.

Please do tell use about these nonsexual ways. Cause I was under impression that normal contact during daily life carries no risk.

The payoff is indeed learning the intuition, but also learning how to prove things and learning how to learn math. The content itself is only as important as whatever field you're in, or whatever application you're studying that requires that specific mathematics.

No, the example was atypical. In the general case, it will take longer, and will be harder to figure out than in the example. And in timespans of hundreds of thousands of years, this might have to repeat several times.

What this means is that any element of surprise which may have occasionally caught out criminals will be lost. Instead, it will simply violate the privacy of normal citizens on a grand scale.

If they were smart, they would use such powers sparingly and on those who appear to be a genuine threat. In fact, I really cannot understand their strategy. It makes no sense unless mass data collection from normal citizens is the goal.
