I don't know how it is in a WallMart in the US but in a French Carrefour there can be a 20 meter long aisle dedicated to wines and spirituous, possibly both sides of the aisle.

That's a huge selection covering all types of wine for as little as a few euros. Price is not a predictor of anything, there are both good and bad wines all over the place.

Wine is truly a commodity in France. There are very few people paying 10€ a bottle unless you're talking Champagne, that's not considered a wine.

My personal opinion is that that is the pointa that is probably most broken in the US legal system.

Fines should be penalties for breaking the law. And they should hurt, which means that fines for wealthy persons should be bigger than for less wealthy people, otherwise wealthy people can break law with no practical repercussions. And fines should be paid to the government, not to the victim.

On the other side of the coin, the payments due to damage caused due to illegal activities should just cover the damages and no more to the party that has been the victim of the damage. It is completely ridiculous that you can expect to get wealthy if you can convince a jury that the coffee you bought was too hot.

As far as I can tell, he uses "word" in the same way it's used today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_(computer_architecture)

But, he does say a "word" is the information of 6 letters or 10 numbers, which is a bit curious.

My understanding is the most encodings for letters in 1960s were 6 bits, so that would perhaps imply a 36-bit word for Dr. Corbato's computer. But then, if you have to fit ten of them into a word, you could only use up to 3-bit integers, which doesn't sound right.
Remember when MPAA released a closed-source Linux distro with the intention of gathering incriminating data on university students? That was pretty weird.
It was certainly eye opening how addicted to alcohol we were before prohibition, and how it was perceived to be linked to domestic abuse (I personally think it was myself).

I wonder sometimes looking around the social scene in SF if more of a abolitionist influence on society today in terms of alcohol would be healthy. Not prohibition but rather being culturally skeptical of drinking in general, especially as we are making strides to legalize marijuana, which can’t kill you and won’t make you beat up your family.

Even as dispensaries opened, the social life still revolves around bars & restaurants which often serve alcohol. The one dispensary I visit which allows consumption on premise is a sterile, retail environment. Bleh. I much preferred the dutch coffee houses.

The bank penalties for fraud and money laundering might be instructive here.

The headline penalty amounts were inflated with bogus dollars that the banks never actually paid.

A great example was Bank of America's purported $17 billion settlement.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/bank-america-pay-1665-billion...

This was really $7 billion in actual cash, plus double-counting $3 billion of pre-existing penalties that BofA hadn't paid yet, and then juiced further with totally bogus $7 billion in "homeowner relief".

That "homeowner relief" consisted of adding up "principal reductions" on bad debt that the bank had already suffered because they made bad loans, plus "new loans to credit worthy borrowers".

Like when there's a class action lawsuit for criminal corporate behavior and the "settlement" is a coupon for 20% off more purchases from the company.

The details aren't out on the Facebook settlement, but if the bank penalties are any guide, the cash actually paid could be a fraction of the $5 billion headline number.
Probably because in the USA higher education is an objectively bad move for most of the people that undertake it. Combine that with the fact that they’ve been told forever it’s a good/necessary thing and you can see bitterness start to creep in.
I tried Nativescript, React Native and Ionic. I've had previous experience with both React and Angular. I found Ionic to have the most enjoyable and cogent end-to-end experience amongst the three.

Interopt with Nativescript and other libs was hard, React Native didn't support Typescript as a first-class citizen (which as a prereq of mine) and the developer tooling wasn't as mature as the Ionic/Cordova/Angular cli(s) were.

A lot of noise around Flutter but haven't given it a try yet, but I'm weary because of defining views-as-code rather then a flavor of JSX/Angular Templates.
> In the US, when a wealthy person parks in front of a fire hydrant, we don't give them a $100,000 parking ticket; the fine is scaled to the offense, not the offender.

Yes, but the US's system of fines might be considered regressive (big enough to hurt poor people, small enough to mean nothing to rich people) compared to countries which use day fines which are in fact scaled to the offender.

Reminds me of Twitter back in the day, with their terrible and inconsistent developer policies. It took them quite a while to recover from the impact those had, despite the fact that they're an enormous platform that can provide a ton of value to developers. Strava's not close to Twitter's level of utility/value, so if they keep this up it's tough to see how they'll ever maintain a developer ecosystem.
Yeah, I'll have to look into TADS again, it's just (IIRC) it costs money that I don't have to spend on this sort of thing.
I mean as far as I can tell the resentment could come from both those who went to and didn't go to college. Those who didn't go would feel resentment towards peers who are valued more due to what they perceive as signalling while those who did go would feel resentment towards peers who they perceive as lacking foundation or towards colleges themselves for ostensively making them spend time and money for skills their peers gained for free.

This is a good case because there is no racial angle to bring out prejudices on either side.

Having watched the shooting video, I felt that there were a lot of people with more responsibility than the man pulling the trigger had over this. This includes the person barking confusing orders to the drunk man, whomever were in charge of their SWAT training, and the drunk man himself.

The incident began when someone called 911 after having seen someone pointing a rifle from a hotel window. The BBC article (naively) describes this as:

The police report said the victim had shown guests in his hotel room a rifle he used for work.

It later emerged that the rifle was an airsoft or pellet gun, rather than a genuine firearm.

In fact, SWAT is absolutely the appropriate response to anyone seen pointing a possible rifle from a hotel window. And of course there would have been no 911 call in the first place if he hadn't been pointing this out from his the window (unless the bystander was psychic). That it turns out to be "just a pellet gun" is no excuse. I expect that if my neighbors see me at a window pointing a rifle-like object around at them, that SWAT will be breaking down my door shortly afterward. I have no problem with this.

The interaction is where the problems begin. To my eye, it was clear enough what the police thought they were doing: they wanted to get the drunk man away from the open hotel door before they approached, because they had no idea what was in the room behind him. This is the correct course of action. Unfortunately, the orders being barked at the man (who had unfortunately not tied his gym shorts) were confusing, and he kept reaching down to pull up his shorts as he was alternately told to crawl forward, put his hands on his head, and raise his hands.

At the end, the officer barking orders (a different person from the shooter, apparently) told the drunk man several times in a row to let his shorts fall, and that if he reached around behind him, they would fire. This happened, and the shooter did fire.

Obviously their SWAT process needs serious reforms. More than one person on that team need a different line of work, including the shooter. However, I didn't feel that the criminal case against him (which found him not guilty, I believe, though don't recall exactly) was justified.

As far as denying PTSD/pension benefits to the shooter, or the re-hire shenanigans described in the article, I have no opinion.
The thin blue line is a gang symbol. It's just that the gang has been really effective at both achieving its goals and terrorizing the populace.

> Except the if you ran a digital sundial in reverse it would only recognize one particular image of a number.

Only because the sundials are purpose-built for producing clear digits. This would produce blurry messes that, if you squint hard, would look a bit more like one digit than like the others. But the principle doesn't appear to be different.

This doesn't "recognize" anything. It's just a complex waveguide. You can see it in their ray path diagrams.

The AI technique that could imbue machines with the ability to reason
I find the tribalism over copyright to be quite odd. It makes sense for many tech companies to lobby to devalue copyright, because they are in the business of profiting by distributing other peoples’ content. (I forget who said it, but the principle is commoditizing your inputs.) And it makes sense for organizations like the MPAA to push back on those efforts. It’s an economic, not moral battle. Netflix used to be on one side, now it’s a content creator and on the other.

The moral calculus, I think, cuts the other way. People complain that Wall Street middle men don’t create value, just move it around, but in the same breath assign moral superiority to companies that just move around content created by other people. Odd.

oh wow that's an astonishingly wholesome take on it. and now that i think about it, one that is quite resonant with my own experience of it in retrospect. it was certainly an extremely humanizing piece and i think in that regard, it's doing one of the most noble honors (at least in my moral framework): striving to eliminate xenophobia. so much in this world tries to divide us by our national identity and our ethnicities, etc, but at the end of the day, we are all just one species, and any difference that we perceive physically is just a side effect of phenotype expression, and any other more abstract difference such as belief, etc, is a side effect of the culture and society surrounding that phenotypical substrate. we work so hard to divide ourselves from our core nature, which is to cooperate and seek novelty, so it's quite cathartic to see a piece that tries to eliminate a substantial contributor to that division.

I don't see how your first and second statements are mutually exclusive.
It may have been designed using AI, but it's not AI.
The impurities are not the weights, they are the output of the design software. It is the design software that has been learning something, not the pane of glass.

It is like using AI to design, say, the most aerodynamic plane.
Only here they used an AI to design something that performs a task that we traditionally use as a benchmark for AI models. But this piece of glass, just like the plane mentionned above, is not learning anything and it's not an AI.
Wait, so they released software with copyright-infringing code?!

If you lock your money in any asset, whether solar panels or a house, you're taking a bet on the future value of the asset. That, naturally, is a downside. As compared to investing in a fund of some kind that invests in a diversified manner across different forms of renewable energy like solar and wind. Then, if solar prices go down in peak hours, your investment in wind will protect against that to some extent, as opposed to putting all your eggs in one basket.
Netflix originals are hit or miss. They make (or take over) some good stuff, like Stranger Things season 1 or Bonus Family, but they also make some embarrassing, awfully bad things, like Bright or Bird Box. Even within the same show they are hit or miss, like when they took over The Killing or Black Mirror. I find there's no correlation between "made by Netflix" and quality.
There are two different kinds of neural networks. Large models are fed lots of data to train them. But when the training is done, the results can be closely approximated by a much smaller network. The smaller networks can be distributed more easily and even used on phones. But they are fixed, not used for training anymore.

It's definitely AI - it's still recognizing a handwritten digit. But not all AI applications require further training. Sometimes you just need the end result.

This is the way I look at it (it may not be correct)

Before the MPAA made money off the creator, so for 95% of the content on netflix the companies producing the film paid into the MPAA. Sure Netflix probably had to pay the MPAA fee on their content too.

Now the MPAA will make even more money to lobby against customers because now the content distributors are paying in.

So now it give the MPAA more teeth and lobbying power.

Do they still do this? I thought they finally realized it wasn’t worth the trouble.
Most companies that intend to go public maybe. Private ownership and pride in what you sell does still exist in America, just takes more looking. Patagonia for example just made a decision not to support the VC vest culture any more than it already was. I've got a chain of local hardware stores that are still family owned nearby. There's tons of real Amish furniture companies that aren't looking to sell out. Just because it's the common way didn't mean it's the only or best way.

No, it doesn't matter if they do wrong things lots of the time. What matters is that if a deep fake surfaces then they can use the pictures of that specific period of time to prove they were not doing that. If they happened to be doing something right at that specific time, that's enough.

The book publishing industry goes about their goals rather differently. Comparing the book industry and the movie industry makes as much sense as not buying wine because you're upset about the tobacco lobby (or saying that you can't criticize the tobacco industry if you're willing to buy wine).

How does solar thermal fare compared to solar PV, once you factor in the cost of the batteries?
> for 30 years (the claimed lifespan of a solar installation)

It should be noted, though, that this "lifespan" generally means a reduction of output by not more than 20%, not that you are left with a pile of trash. Depending on technological development, possibly replacing solar panels by then is the economically sensible thing to do, but there is no reason why you necessarily would have to throw away a solar installation after 30 years.
