It's abuse because it's intended to mislead the customer.

And it succeeds at misleading the customer, or nobody would be doing this. A misled customer is not an informed customer. For a free market it's vital that customers are well-informed, therefore this kind of deception hurts the free market. The customer agrees to the transaction based on a lie.

Even if technically, from a certain perspective it's technically true ("this morning before I opened the shop, the price was indeed that much higher for 5 minutes"), it's still deception.

Instead of throwing out my notes, I tend to "refactor" them multiple times, condensing them down to the bare minimum. By the time I get them to that point, I no longer need them. I also tend to utilize multiple mediums: first note taking is writte; then I condense them to a digital format; I print that off and highlight, work in the margins, etc.;I will sometimes rewrite them a final time, depending on difficulty of the material.

equal opportunity vs equal outcome is such a hard thing to analyze that every time I hear it I'm glad I only have to debug machines and not society
Certain English settlers were such hardliners and so terrible to everyone who didn't adhere perfectly to their doctrine that Rhode Island and parts of New Hampshire were settled be people expressly fleeing them. No, they didn't have the tribal politics but the hard-line religiousness and correspondingly harsh treatment of everyone else was the comparison I was going for any anyone who has studied the first hundred years of the Massachusetts Bay Colony knows that comparison is apt.

Nit picking over the particulars of how they ran their society does not make them any less a bunch of fundamentalist jerks.

>It would be nice if there was a whole segment of the internet that people used that was completely ad-free.

Well, it would be nice but it's not possible to implement a truly ad-free community at (large) internet scale.

The issue is that a supposed "ad-free zone" of the internet will become an attractive magnet for stealth ads that don't look like obvious ads.

Ad-free zones can work if the community is small and everybody knows each other -- such as an Amish community in a small town. Members can interact without ulterior motives of selling something.

But we can't scale that ad-free ideal all the way up to millions of anonymous and pseudonymous bloggers, webforum members, and website owners. When a community becomes too large, it exceeds the ability of its regular members to trace the money trail of everybody else that's participating in the commercial-free internet zone.

In the end, if you're interacting outside a small circle of trusted friends, you just have to keep your wits about you to hopefully detect hidden agendas of advertising.
I recall in another FB thread that shaming employees was not totally frowned-upon if it planted the seed in the engineer that they should maybe reflect on what they're contributing to and consider alternative work.

Would shaming designers that are complicit in these dark patterns be a similar, favourable way of movement towards a better direction?

I actually finished a book that tries to do that[1]. But I don't believe enough designers are told from their peers that maybe the way they’re exercising their knowledge of design theory and psychology is being shitty towards people.

Those are great suggestions. Bernie loves to make big proposals, but turning proposals into results is a skill he seems to lack. He has been in the senate a long time and IIRC only sponsored two bills that became law - one of them something symbolic like renaming a post office. Some first-term senators already have longer lists of accomplishments. We need more realistic proposals to improve the situation going forward, not his mere primary-vote-buying.

In India, raising a child now is a very tough one.
1) Health Insurance - Not everyone has it and many who have turns out to be not sufficient.
2) Education - Schooling has become extremely expensive. There is not much regulation and schools apply a lot of tricks to get money from you, mainly under the guise of extra-curricular activities or development. They force the parents to pay, and legal recourse isn't available.
3) Health again - With the bad air, water and food that the children are getting these days, a lot of them get some or the other illness on a regular basis, which forces the kids to visit doctors frequently and take medicines. These all doctor visits don't get covered under insurance a lot of times. Kids of today are not developing a strong immune system. To top it all, many parents don't let their kids play outside. They give them a mobile and think they have done their duty.

I forsee a very bad/difficult future for a lot of children.

This is becoming more and more the go-to complaint even when it's obviously not a fit. Dare I call it virtue signaling. The fact of the matter it that policing physical i/o of commerce is customs job and has been for the entire history of the US and beyond.

This is a myth. You're supposed to have around 2 l of water, from all sources: meaning that you'd have to eat only freeze-dried food to actually need that much water.
I use one with an extra wifi card as a wireless router. I'm living in hotels a lot and sometimes I find their wifi too restrictive. The built-in wifi card connects to the hotel wifi and the external wifi card acts as an access point to which all my other devices connect to. This way I only need to pass the captive portal once (and only pay for one device ...) and I can enable a VPN to my home router in case I want to use Netflix or Amazon Prime in a foreign country.

Don't fool yourselves. He is proposing this because most of his supporters are leftist morons that go to college, pay absurd > 100 000 $ tuitons to get a garbage class diploma about "gender studies" or stupid shit that has no market value, and they are also vastly inflating their expected revenue once they get a job, if any. So they spent a lot of money on bullshit, can't find a job, and those they find are very low under their expectations, and panic starts when they realize they are going to spent most of their lives paying that debt back, when more intelligent (hum.. conservative) students will have paid their tuition costs in 10 to 15 years, then start to pay for housing. Those leftist pricks need to be taught a very hard and expensive lesson.
For me a big pet peeve is in the socsci there seems to be a cottage industry producing things like “a study in Manteca, CA, showed that buying meal kits has smaller carbon footprint than grocery store food”. But if you read you’ll find out they bought a few meal kits and made some big assumptions. But then you get a bunch of influences trying to be hip who push this without being critical. It could be a study on homelessness or addiction, etc.

That's an important question. Sometimes I need to drive more. For now the answer is "yes", but perhaps this will be the last car i ever own.
It's because the US healthcare system is a nightmare combination of extreme government control & regulation, and corporatism. They socialize the cost and privatize the profit, to the benefit of a small percentage of the population that works in those fields or invests into them. It's a very large, regressive wealth transfer. You can only do that with the intentional, direct assistance of the governments (federal + state governments) as enablers that protect the healthcare cartels and worker guilds.
> As a T1 diabetic in the UK, where the wonderful NHS covers all of my insulin costs, this is one reason why I'd never be able to move to or work in the US.

I'm a T1 Diabetic in the US and I consider myself very lucky to work in software. I have good insurance, so my medication only costs me about $200 per month. That's just an additional cost I have to pay to be alive, on top of all the other stuff everyone else has to pay for, too. If I had a lower paying job, or a job with less good health insurance, I can see how I'd be priced out of living.

Manipulating Private Fields in Go
Are they, though?

I got back into a video game the other day that was released 15 years ago (also when I first played it). There were plenty of dedicated websites around the game, most of them with forums that contained guides, little details and secrets and whatnot (matter of fact, I ran one of them for a while).

All of those are long gone, with all associated content - which I suppose is not surprising, given its age. However, the issue remains - as interest in a topic dwindles, fewer and fewer people see the point in spending the money and effort to maintain these sites containing (mostly) unbiased information and the information, alongside potentially thousands of user-generated posts/content in the forum, gets lost in the void. If you happen to look something up you saw a decade ago, you might find it on the wayback machine, but certainly not via a search engine.
Managing symptoms, like you call it, also happens to slow down the progression. And right now it’s a good option to consider. The neurological disorders are very hot and tends topics in Academia and Pharma, the pace of the discovery and trials is “mind blowing”, compared with a decade ago.

Physical modelling peaked in 1993 with the Yamaha VL1 - which was an amazing synth that crashed right into the uncanny valley between sampling and real instruments.

PM is a complete nightmare to program - even harder than FM. Which was why the VL1 was a preset-only machine. The full programmimng system was never made public.

There are some modern remakes in the box, especially from TAS, but IMO they don't sound as impressive.

The appeal of analog isn't just the sound, it's the conceptual simplicity. Ditto for sampling. Almost anyone with an average-ish IQ can understand the basics.

There are plenty of alternative synthesis techniques, but they're not popular because most people find they're too much effort for too little reward.

PM, modal, spectral, and straight additive can all make some very wild sounds, but - ironically - they don't sound like most people's idea of a synthesizer, so they're used much less often, and usually only by people who are hardcore sound programming nerds.
Nvidia Controls 97% of Cloud AI GPU Market Share, AMD 1.2%, Intel 0.6%
I believe the theory was that because the headphones/earbuds send energy directly into your ear canal (while external sounds bounce off more stuff and travel further), that it is more harmful (over prolonged periods of time). I don’t know how volume correlates with sound pressure, intensity and power, so I can’t comment on whether or not that’s true. Note that this was for prolonged (many hours) of listening, even at low volume.

With that said, I googled and came up blank looking for these studies, so you could be right. Without the studies to back it up, what I wrote is kinda meaningless.

The analogy I've heard for early detection of neurodegeneration is that it turns the condition from terminal to chronic. This is similar to how late detection of HIV usually means AIDS and death, now it means a manageable condition, but life.

Gradient based sample selection for online continual learning
Simply put, it works like this:
-Check the file or folder you want to send
-Compress it, if it is needed and wise
-Split and Encrypt with advanced standards
-Give you an optional choice to add a heavy layer of password protection
-Give you a nice link to share
-Upload the parts, in the meantime, the receiver can get the file as you upload them

We are using a Gaia provider, and give users a limited 512MB per file plan, that should cover most of the daily uses.
But, you can make your own provider and set it at sign up, then all the files will be uploaded on that provider, and no files, key, or metadata will touch our servers.

In the case of insulin, I think it has more to do with the FDA's processes than corruption.

It would be very difficult to make a profit on generic insulin because it's a biologic drug, which means a generic manufacturer wouldn't be able to bypass the FDA approval process by proving bioequivalency.

EDIT: Upon further reading, there is a pathway[0][1] for "biosimilars", but it seems to have higher requirements than chemical generics.

Why is this here now? The piece of news is from three years ago
>surely packages should go through customs before entering a country?

They do. I don't think you realize just how many packages enter the United States on a daily basis though and that Customs only physically inspects a very tiny portion of those packages.

Each year, more than 11 million maritime containers arrive at our seaports. At land borders, another 11 million arrive by truck and 2.7 million by rail. Each of those containers could contain 1 shipment between 1 shipper and 1 importer of record or it could contain dozens or hundreds of individual shipments from multiple shippers to multiple importers of record.

Then you see tens of thousands of packages enter the United States daily via air.

The United States has 328 ports of entry in the country and 13 pre-clearance offices in other countries. In 2018 the United States imported $3.1 trillion and exported $2.5 trillion in goods and services.
Have you thought about trying this with a RPI 4B? Thinking about replacing my 3b+ providing two SMB shares with such a setup, once 4b has matured a little.
You don't need to check every package or stop every speeder. This isn't 1984. You just need enough targeted enforcement to keep society happy with the level of compliance. The laws were not written with the expectation of 100% enforcement (or anything close to that).

"Neo-nazi" is irrelevant. There's no reason to include it. The US history of white supremacy is far older than Nazism or even fascism.

I feel that you're bringing up international politics in a discussion about US domestic politics is mostly meant to derail the conversation.

You realize that more factors are involved than just white supremacy, right?

Do you mean just being immersed in the language here rather than practicing/using it?

In some sense though, I imagine that when you hear something in a foreign language, you are actively making links to sounds or words that you think it may relate to (so in some sense, taking a mental note).

Growing up, I found that listening attentively in class and asking questions had me retain the most. Overly focusing on note-taking actually distracted me and those would usually be my worse day. I still took notes, however, most of the learning happened in the classroom and my notebook was the "textbook" that acted as my reference later.

My Delonghi has a fair share of metal, has lasted me 8 years already and doesn't seem to show much in terms of wear.

Now let's suppose it dies now, it would have cost me 10 euros per year. I would have to keep a Roncilio for 64 years to get the same bang for the buck. I'm starting to think that maybe it's a volume problem, you need to make coffee for at least 10 people daily and then you might see a difference.

Also I think that living in a place where a good espresso costs less than a euro makes it kinda hard to justify a coffee machine that costs almost as much as a used car... :)

I'll point out that those benchmarks show C++ faster for four, C faster for five, and both the same for one scenario.

Modern C++ enables some very concise expression, at the cost of significant language complexity, and enormous compile-time cost.

C requires more work from the programmer, but is vastly quicker to compile.
Single-use plastics and the like are not the problem, and the West does not have to feel guilty about the plastic in the ocean; the vast majority comes from Asian rivers. The only reason why any plastic enters the ocean from the US can be attributed to littering and a lack of people cleaning up litter.

That said, a large chunk of waste is also exported abroad, and nobody knows (or, wants to know) what happens then - no longer our problem.
