if you took cars away from the entire population that would only account for up to 25% of the CO2 being released. So, on this small a scale it's doing almost nothing.
Another interesting kind of hardware they have at INI (Giacomo Indiveri's institute) are the dynamic vision sensors (initially developed by Lichtsteiner, Posch, Delbruck, Berner, Kramer).

Those are cameras modeled after the human retina, and they overcome the processing and frame rate bottleneck of traditional cameras by using an event based architecture (event stream of pixel brightness changes -> no data if nothing changes). This allows microsecond latency in machine vision systems, without the high data rates you get with frame based cameras.

Which locals? As long as the global demand for cattle is growing, people will move into the Amazon and turn it into pasture. Between strong population growth [1 billion every 20 years] and global enrichment, global demand for commodities is all but guaranteed to grow.

Compelling and unbiased evidence on the human effect on climate change
If you are used to a stick shift car, the issue is that the left foot is too 'heavy' and totally lacks the sensitivity to apply the brake.

At least that was my experience. I drove an automatic for the first time some years ago, and that was the only issue I detected.

The fact that you never have to move your feet from the corresponding pedals actually helps to avoid mixing up pedals.

It would be an issue in a rally when downshifts require a bit of throttle and you have to use two feet for three pedals.
Some evidence sure, not "the" evidence.

Unfortunately I don't know any CFS patients that have recovered, or even gone into remission; for everyone I know, it's been a chronic condition.
It's often just security theatre meant to please the law & order voter base more than anything else. They might catch some minor criminals but as you said, if you really want to "move" data across a border, there are plenty of ways to do so without physically carrying a device.

For some goals it can actually be useful, though I'm not sure if this is done during regular border checks or just in the context of asylum requests or similar: Accessing location histories, picture metadata or social media profiles on your device can be a fairly easy way to check that you're not giving them false information about where you're coming from or where you've been. This can be done automatically, so the officer doesn't need to figure out themself what they're looking at.
I wouldn't classify as "amateur" a commercial movie where the lead roles are played by professional actors, but that may be just me. The downvotes I got agree with you. (Being a bad movie may make it look "amateurish", but that's something different.)

Your use of the word obvious is not well supported by your argument. Do you have an unstated premise that Border Services only detect "obvious" offenses?

It seems to me that there are two very diffent kind of programmer mindsets that are heavily in conflict with each other.

Some programmers want to write sophisticated (and sometimes very concise) code that requires deep understanding of the programming and sometimes reads like a "programming puzzle game" / Interview trick question.

Then there are the pragmatic types, which prefer simple code with a reductionalist approach. The code is easy to read but it is often not very generic and tends to get longer / repeated.

I can also see why Kyle Simpson doesn't like TypeScript, because it fits more the latter mindset. I've also seen competent and productive programmers of both types.

Has anyone experiences how those different approaches go together in a single team? To me it seems very difficult to come to a compromise or agreement here.
"There is no team of brilliant and vaguely sinister engineers, cooking up ways to get you binge reading."

There is, and it's called an editor. This is especially why a lot of bestselling non-fiction reads so smoothly. I always have a bunch of these lying around for when I want something easy to get into.

On the other hand, there are times when blaming people for their misfortune is appropriate, and serves a social purpose. The hard part is telling when it is appropriate. It does seem pretty clear though that we tend to both give ourselves too much credit for our successes, and too much blame for our failures, overall.

The author almost stumbles on the answer to his question when he shows the height distribution. It’s bimodal, because men and women have different average heights. Similarly, flagship and lower-tier phone buyers will display distributions in what they’re willing to pay. If you combine two separate normal distributions you can always make a claim that a single distribution is no longer normal. But that doesn’t make it an interesting insight on its face.
That's pretty typical start in the film industry in that era which would very much be amateur.

Not everyone had cheap digital cameras, not to mention cheap video editing on computers to start out back then. Only in the early 1990s did random non-actors in the director's first "indie" films start becoming more normal.
Studies: now that's a commendable rebuttal. I like that.

OK, I've skimmed these, let's take some quotes.

"People with lived experience of a mental illness commonly report feeling devalued, dismissed, and dehumanized by many of the health professionals with whom they come into contact"

People who have such problems too easily perceive slights that may not be there. I know this, I have to compensate for it. It's too easy to get hurt.

"On the other, they [people with serious mental illness] are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudice that result from misconceptions about mental illness"

And I just don't find this. Bar a few idiots, never have. I find people kind and considerate.

"As a result of both, people with mental illness are robbed of the opportunities that define a quality life: good jobs, safe housing, satisfactory health care, and affiliation with a diverse group of people"

Quite, but that loss in my case is not down to stigma or discrimination by others but my own shortcomings caused by the problems:

I don't have a good job, I haven't been able to work for months. That's not discrimination, that's because I'm unwell and just couldn't.

A while back I got so far behind with the rent (because I couldn't work) the landlord had every right to throw me out. That he didn't only reflected on his decency and trust in me, but for that I'd quite likely be on the streets.

This "affiliation with a diverse group of people" - I don't have that because, fuck, guess why? And loneliness is a terrible thing. I've had few partners in my life, guess again why? It's not because they discriminated against me, it's because I'm not 'normal' to be around (though getting better, thanks for asking). It's not discrimination, it's them picking the more suitable partner. And I just can't blame them!

Does that make sense?

Anyway, since I've read yours, please read mine. You sound like you do actual research, but unfortunately this nastiness is my life.

It looks an awful lot like garden variety theft, to me, which makes me question whether or not we should use their vocabulary here ("seize", versus "steal"). That said, I hesitate to wager on whether or not a court will side with the victim.

>> Can this be used to get whatever case(es) he was defending thrown out because solicitor-client privilege was violated or parallel construction was used?

That isn't what this is about. Nobody is talking about what this is really about and it isn't anything to do with him being a lawyer. This guy (1) was traveling alone (2) to a distant (3) and poor (4) country without preexisting business ties (5). Those are all red flags for sex tourism.

I cannot say this strongly enough: I would never say this guy is a sex tourist, nor would boarder services. But they do run a program that targets people who meet certain criteria, criteria that this guy seems to have fallen into. Most famously, a bishop returning from Thailand had his laptop "randomly" searched by this program. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Lahey) There have been other less-pubic successes too. The program is controversial but within the bounds of Canadian law.

So before everyone goes nuts about terrorism and attorney-client privilege, realize that this innocent person was caught up in a program that has nothing to do with those things. Canadians are polite, especially when dealing with sensitive matters. Canadian cops don't shout things from rooftops. Because of the nature of what they are looking for, boarder services isn't going to give any public explanations. They will hold the electronics for some time, as is their right, but they likely regret "randomly" selecting this particular person. In the future they will probably add "not a lawyer" to the criteria.
Developing film by inspection is a joy. I've developed a lot of ortho 4x5 under red safe light and love it even though I don't need to (my developer exhausts around the same time the film finishes developing so I don't actually need to inspect). I just do it for fun.
A sleep study is critical to ruling out sleep issues before getting a proper diagnosis of ME/CFS. No good doctor would diagnose CFS without a sleep study.
It’s worth noting that it’s unclear whether or not this is a generational preference for the suburbs, or rather a result of a lack of suburban-equivalent amenities for families like safe parks, good, not-overcrowded schools, and available daycare options. Not to mention a lack of housing at the 2+ bedroom size.

It’s still a reversal of the ‘60s and ‘70s where the cities were being abandoned wholesale.
> And what about all the other stuff that you get for free

It's only free if you think that the details of your life aren't worth anything (I specifically object to advertising targeted to individuals, I have no problem with ads similar to ones you find in a magazine or print newspaper).

Without any discussion, ad companies asserted that they have the right to spy on users and track them in almost every area of their lives online and off. I think we are finally starting to push back in the other direction. Europe has GDPR and I think it's only a matter of time before we have something similar in the US. IMHO companies should only be allowed to collect and use information on individuals in ways that each individual decides to allow.

If the bios is corrupt it can corrupt the OS. So that the OS does not really flash it. Or there might be a hardware exploit that makes it look like the bios is being flashed while keeping the corruption or one that injects the corruption after each bios flash. In general if the HW has been modified it would be really hard to detect the exploit.

You want a second plague? Ok. You first. Volunteer for Doctors Without Borders, go to a plague-ridden country, and deliberately infect yourself with something horrible.

You want to bomb people? Ok, go join Doctors Without Borders, or another aid effort, and help bomb victims. Put yourself at risk of being bombed. Join the millitary and put yourself on the other end of the shelling.

They probably just want to take advantage of old laws and/or not precise enough that allows them to search everything (according to their interpretation, including virtual things) on anybody -- without even any probable cause.

Most government can't do that (in theory...) when you are a citizen or maybe even just a resident, except when you cross the border. So if they want to watch you politically, they do that (at least) at the border.
edit: wrote comment about Herring v. United States but this is a Canadian case.
I’m not a lawyer, but tend to travel a lot and had lots of conversations with border agents as a result :) My impression is that it’s primarily a question of payment - if you travel to say Belgium to get paid by a Belgian company, then it’s work. If you’re there and your work is not really related to Belgium in any way, you are on a salary paid by a US company, then your purpose isn’t really work. The shades of gray start when your employer is being paid by the local company for your work. Many countries will allow you to attend meetings for a week or two, run demos, provide some on-site support, but staying for six months and working on site likely require a business visa.

I’m thinking maybe this guy was flagged because he is a lawyer and might have sensitive information on a person of interest.
If someone is travelling from country X through country Y with documents destined for country Z, and the government of X wants the documents to reach Z unobserved, this is the usual use-case for a government-of-X diplomatic pouch. (Or, if it’s the Z embassy sending to Z, a government-of-Z diplomatic pouch.)

I wonder if you could make the case here that the US government should be ensuring the functioning of its judicial system by issuing lawyers who leave the country a “loopback” diplomatic pouch—one issued by X, destined for X, protected during travels to all not-X.

(This could currently be achieved by X-gov issuing a pouch destined for X-embassy in transit country Y, which the traveller must visit to have their documents re-wrapped in a pouch from X-embassy back to X-gov. The change would just simplify things by making the visit to X-embassy unnecessary.)

Yeah, I felt like there is perpetually a point the author is about to get but then just moves on to the next thought. Kind of frustrating to read, honestly.
The hallmark of CFS is post-exertional malaise, which is feeling terribly after exertion that is overly strenuous (for you). The onset of PEM can be a few hours, a day, or even a week or more after the exertion, so it can be very hard to pin down. The real way to tell is to cease exertions for a period and see if there is improvement in your symptoms. Contrast this with depression, where exercise will tend to improve your symptoms.

A second hallmark is unrefreshing sleep. Not necessarily that you don't sleep or don't sleep well, but that no matter how long or how well you sleep, you wake up feeling like you just ran a marathon. If you don't sleep well, see a sleep doctor. That may fix the issue.

I've had this as well with Honda and Mercedes cars. When it comes to utilitarian cars, one thing you want to look for is the parts being as much a commodity as possible.

Mercedes used to stock all the parts for what seemed like all of their models. Then they stopped. I should have taken that as a sign!
But then we are back at example/oracle based testing, the beauty of this and pbt is the fact that no matter the input, it should always be what you expected.

I did have hard time follow the audio example, he references a paper about api testing (didn’t have the time to read the whole thing) but the examples there are quite good.

A query of New York center with a 50km range, should always be equal or less then the same query with a 25km/15/5 range.

This would be true for every search query.
