By driving his car uncontrolled on a public way surrounded by people? Nope not an option. He's flaunting his wealth by putting other people at risk. That makes him an asshole. Just because you happen to like bullies and assholes didn't make that any less true. On a race track or deserted road? Maybe that's kind of fun and cool, you're generally only putting yourself at risk.
Although "Governments can hire experts to determine standards by doing research, and then can apply those standards over time to the schools they regulate.", those supposed experts can be pretty bad.

Richard Feynman relates a fascinating account of this in his book "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!". Aside from him, every "expert" gave good scores to books that were entirely blank.

Some quotes from that:

When people say "boomers" do they mean "boomers" world-wide, or do they mean "boomers" as in American "boomers"? I ask because everyone is part of this thing, but some people may think only American boomers have partaken in the above ascribed behavior.

The murder rate in Mexico is >20 per 100K per year. The car crash death rate in the US is around 11 per 100K per year. So you're almost certainly not x100 likely to die in your commute tomorrow. I've been to Mexico and I felt reasonably safe but it's a lot less safe these days and it's just not the safest place in general.
You could generate a custom bookmarklet for users with their uid embedded in it.
I bought Nexus 5 about 4-5 years ago. It's been fine since. Never felt the need to upgrade until last week when I bought the 3a, hope it has the same long term cost performance as my last phone.
I really appreciate this commitment to upstreaming to the mainline kernel.

So many great devices using Linux have become doorstops because (besides closed drivers and blobs) the kernel was forked, or drivers dependent on forked kernel, source disappeared, toolchain disappeared or was proprietary, etc.
If you need it on the client side, it's basically never going to happen on Android. Between manufacturers that never update and Google doesn't seem to care (they never enabled path MTU probing, even though it's been in all the kernels they shipped, and Apple uses it aggressively to great success in terrible networks)
Not so. Those who actually go across the border from Brownsville to Matamoros see it; those who fly straight to Cancun do not. It used to be a pleasant trip (through the mid- to late nineties) to go for a day or two, at a reasonable price. Good food, and a great place to buy quality vanilla. Not safe any more; sad. I suppose it makes sense that border towns got hit the hardest, but it's sad for people who enjoyed going across for short trips by car rather than going to expensive resort towns.
I file reports in Bug Reporter about outdated Swift docs, and they always fix it and respond back.
I can think of even more ways we benefit from having two eyes, like not having to whip your head back and forth if you want to scan the landscape.

But if they were mainly for redundancy the eyes might be closer together, like the nostrils (and unlike ears, which help with spatial awareness).

I think the fact that modern life requires less and less depth perception (when’s the last time you had to judge how far to throw a spear, etc) might be leading us astray here.
Ironic considering YouTube itself is pretty heavily so.

This isn't uncommon... Sadly. This is what happens when politics in a company is more important than deliverables the customers pay for. It's generally a sign the company is in a death spiral.

I'm very confident that the data is fully removed, because properly deleting data within NN days is treated as very serious internally. But I don't know the details of how it's done for cold storage.

(I would love to see someone subpoena something deleted, say, 1y ago and write up whether it was produced.)
Do we really want to see more of the iceberg and see how badly we keep hitting it though the countless genocides and systems of torture?

I don't think so, no.
>Well it would have to be a good PR firm. :)

I'm skeptical. I think most would see through the attempt. Regardless, no one is attempting it anyway. I think nuclear power has been effectively killed. There are scant new nuclear projects on the horizon, with more shutting down then coming online. The industry is overregulated. FUD from environmentalist and progressives has traction. At best nuclear may get a passing reference in mainstream press when talking about solutions to global warming.

I think we're toast. If we doubled down on nuclear in the 60s/70s/80s to the same extent that France did, we would have prevented trillions of tons of CO2 from being emitted, and maybe bought ourselves an extra century to figure out alternatives. As it stands, it's looking pretty bleak. The irony is that in hindsight conservative denialism of global warming will take a backseat to anti-nuclear policies when we get judged for our choices by our descendants.

>I go back to what I said about the estate tax/death tax thing.

I'd like to push back on that. I've heard that reasoning before and I don't think it's that simple. I don't believe it was PR that did it either, rather there was a cultural shift in the 80s and 90s that embraced privatization and free market policies (not just in US, but UK, Canada, and many other nations). This was a pendulum swing from the 60s and 70s when protectionism and over-regulation and high taxation was fashionable.

Besides, there are good ideological reasons for conservatives to not support the estate tax, regardless of the label. Conservatives will tend to oppose taxes and push for tax cuts, but the estate tax provides extra incentive because it can be seen as double-dipping for the government.

I ran NAS4Free for years but found that I could not configure it to email me an alert when the chassis fan failed or the RAID array degraded. You can guess what happened - fan failed and a drive cooked. Was this ever addressed/fixed? Otherwise I thought it was pretty great.

Hmmm.

I mean, I guess it depends whether you count her sons as the first generation or not, but still, why would deity-ness (is there a better word for this? Deism?) pass from her to her sons and thence only to their sons?

That almost sounds like the problem where you need to make people think they came up with an idea themself to get them on board with it.
I live in California, we are not doing as great as everyone thinks we are. We have homeless, shit in the streets, stupid high rent, extra traffic, high taxes, etc.

As great as it is to live here I think the state is actually going downhill over time.

I also don't care what it does, if an illegal alien takes from the tax payer that money could be spent on, oh I don't know, healthcare, homeless, VA, or any other humanitarian purpose. I can walk outside and see a couple tents, I drive to work I see dozens, I drive further and I see tent cities. Let's take care of our own citizens first for once? Why not improve their home countries instead of everyone coming here?
Weirdly they've had decent low end small cars in countries other than the US. It's very much "the US loves giant cars, so we won't sell any small cars there, even if they're popular overseas". I'm not saying anything about quality, as quality at the low end of the small car segment appears to be much more ... interesting? .. than at the high end.
A political or philosophical framework needs not be rational to be efficient and useful.

The very idea of love (especially as in 2Cor13) is quite irrational, still it worked, and moved a lot of people over millennia.

Still fail to see how this is an unrelated controversy or generic tangent, when Huawei has been accused of aiding in human rights violations with the Chinese government. That is very much on topic. If it were just China in general, that would be a tangent...but this is about Huawei which was accused of this by "Reporters without Borders" just last month, of assisting in Chinese concentration camps imprisoning Muslims https://rsf.org/en/reports/rsf-report-chinas-pursuit-new-wor....

The reason I say this is unevenly enforced is that people constantly point out US companies aiding the NSA via PRISM from years back...but new reports of the Chinese government doing the same thing, if not worse, are marked as "nationalist" and "flamebait." Either both are, or neither are. It seems like one comes under much more scrutiny than the other. Maybe that's something you and the mod team need to figure out.
Considering the proximity, it would seem hedging your bets and having a footprint in both at least would be advisable.
In my experience regular people in the UK are generally sceptical of US geopolitical policy, especially since the Iraq war.

It is only British politicians who want to jump into bed with the US at every available opportunity. Not because they are British, but despite it.
To be fair, it sounds like you haven't experienced what it is like to be a full-time academic yet. Anecdotally I hear many more complaints from friends who are in academia than in industry. Low pay, bureaucracy, and rocky path to tenure come to mind...

I asked this on another thread, but I don't understand why you would see real world difference between PCIe vs USB3.

When using this setup as a NAS, isn't your bottleneck the gigabit network from machine to machine? You'll saturate the 1 Gigabit link ( or even 2 Gigabit duplex ) before you can reach 5 Gigabits ( USB3 ) or 6 Gigabits ( PCIe )
Solder melts at >180°C. This idea that putting electronics in an oven will reflow internal components is a commonly repeated meme[1].

In reality, putting electronics in an oven usually has the effect of heating up some chips which are heat-sensitive and might temporarily give them new life.

We all know everything is sev1. Always. All the time. It doesn't matter that it is user error, or failure to follow proper procedure that causes a hiccup. Or that it is a pie-in-the-sky feature request that is completely out of scope, or that will actively break how the product is supposed to work. It's all sev1, and we will be on daily calls until you do the needful and accomodate our demands. Which we won't offer to pay for, and by the way, we'll drag our feet on the payments that were specified in the contracts we signed already. Why aren't you responding to our HIGHEST PRIORITY emails at 3AM within minutes (when 24x7 support wasn't part of the deal...)?

> This implies that the type of people who genuinely don't want to have kids (...) don't care about others

Not the slightest. It merely raises that those whose life doesn't revolve around putting a smile on someone else's face are living a rather unfulfilling life. Others here would usually, but not necessarily, be your children, family circles, etc.

> It's got extremely limited assist features that still required a human to be legally licensed and competent to drive, hands on wheels, not drunk or on disqualifying drugs, etc.

Irrelevant. Most people would still say that this falls under the category of self driving for most situations.

For the vast majority of people in the world, it solves most of their MVP usecases.

It does not work for everything and that's fine. What matters is that it works for most situations.

Since it works for most situations, most people would be happy to call that self driving.

Or in other words, it is a self driving car that is only allowed to be used when you have a license and are not drunk.

Yes, that is a limitation, but it is a small limitation and still mostly fulfills most people's definition of self driving.
NLP News Issue #41
Not quite.

It's like someone someone is pointing out that the emperor is naked, and the rebuke is "Have you considered that we are all at a beach, and invited the Emperor to go skinny dipping with us".

Merely pointing out that the emperor is naked, without sufficient consideration for context, implies that there is something terribly wrong with the emperor. You'd think that the guy just walks around naked!

Now with context, you understand that if you expect the Emperor to be clothed, then perhaps you shouldn't have spent the whole week convincing him to go skinny-dipping with you, and then act surprised when you are both at a beach. The fault, if any, is with what you asked of the Emperor.

So here we are with education. We tell our kids to do well in school so that they could go to a good college and get a good job (a chain that revolves around signaling!), measure the education by signaling it provides (acceptance rates, employment rates out of college), and then insert surprised Pikachu write books about how education is a waste because it's about signaling!
I've seen some open floorplan designs where the kitchen was still the focal point, but all the functional areas could be hidden, usually by some large sliding feature. This, I think, is the best of both worlds. You can cook and eat in the open kitchen then pile everything in the sink and slide it shut till you're ready to deal with it later.
We never got the full picture on PRISM. We do know that at least a part of the program was a direct result of tapping fiber much of the program also went redacted. I've posted this before but during 2010 the main data center I had access to was closed one evening and the next morning we had a mobile server rack tied back to main routing gear via fiber which was in a mobile rack, blacked out and fully tamper taped. We knew a three letter agency was installing it and all floor access was revoked for that evening as well as being in the building. This was not off long haul fiber but was off of main routing infrastructure. I don't believe PRISM was purely fiber taps and that these programs had deeper hooks. Unfortunately I don't have any evidence beyond the assumption based on the facts I had been given and what I physically saw. I've used and installed a lot of long haul gear and have seen and installed many fiber taps in my day, this implementation was hardly passive in nature. But, that's just first hand knowledge of a random patron of the Internet.
"The closed floor plan, especially the closed kitchen, can help save energy by the simple principle of not heating and cooling rooms that are not currently in use, as well as by isolating rooms we want to keep warm or cool."

This definitely depends on where you live. Here in Hawaii, an open floor plan is crucial for the natural breezes to be able to flow through the house. Fail that part, and you're stuck with totally closing up and air conditioning your house, which at $0.35/kWh really hurts. Plus why live in Hawaii if you're going to close yourself into an air tight box?

The US president has a higher % of support than prime ministers in most EU countries due to the nature of the two party system. E.g. Trump has higher approval ratings than Macron amongst the relative populations. Each system has advantages/disadvantages.

> I love how we're all just using this invented marketing term "influencer" as if it's actually a real thing (it is not a real thing).

That statement is ridiculous to me - actually more ridiculous than I find the whole "influencer" culture in the first place.

"Influencer" absolutely is a real thing. The reason brands are willing to pay many thousands of dollars to get something as simple as a tweet, story or post about a product is quite simply because it works. On the other side, Snapchat lost $1.3 billion in valuation when Kylie Jenner tweeted "sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad." Seems like "influencer" very accurately describes the role.

Wait, is there developer documentation that isn't terrible, incomplete, and incorrect? Is that a thing that exists somewhere?

I've certainly never seen any of this mythical good documentation on the Microsoft side where I live, and even that is copious in comparison to the third-party stuff I've used, where major libraries have a Github readme and no more.

I was reading Ben Franklin's autobiography and he noted that he had a neighbor who always thought the world was going to end and was paying rent about 4x of what he would have spent if he had bought his home when Ben first came across him and his end of the world views. The neighbor didn't believe in investing because it was the end, but now can't afford to own because he didn't believe in the future. Moral of the story is that if you focus on the bad future, and don't try to invest for yourself, your going to be in a bad spot. But the future comes whether you like it or not, spend time minding your own business and make plans to improve your future. Sure the climate is going to get bad, but if you don't prepare yourself, it will hurt even more. People have been living in deserts for generations, we can survive and we will. Be mindful of your impact and reduce it, but don't fret the future, it comes regardless of your view.
Especially in this forum, the people here can have an impact and digitize the world, reduce paper use, reduce carbon use, invent ways to be more efficient. The sooner software eats the world the better off the world will be, help it along.
When i worked at fedex for two weeks in like 2002, they had the ring scanners attached to an arm strapped terminal. As i recall it had maybe a 2-line character display and a qwerty keyboard.

It's been many years, so I don't totally remember, but I think it was scan the box on the rollers, then load it into the truck, then scan the next etc. The ring scanner couldn't do the 2d barcodes though. It looks like the current models are a lot bulkier, probably to have the rotation needed for the 2d codes.

I couldn't find the model online, but I did find an article about it.

Right click on the image and selected copy.
Paste it into Paint (which showed the logo).

I then saved it as a PNG (still showing the logo in Windows image viewer) and uploaded to Imgur. I assume pasting it into paint compressed the colors?
