I have been struggling for years with old credit card debts as well as some collections on my report which is putting me on the verge of losing everything I own. I have limited time to settle debts and I wouldn't stop worrying. I went on credit repair forums and heard King Zeus is the one to turn to in situations like mine. I wrote him via newworldhacker12@gmail.com and also directly on whatsapp +7 (903) 712-4262 he was able to increase my credit score and delete all collections within 2 days. I'm the happiest person in the world now.
There are fundamental reasons why stealing is "looked down upon" in most social systems, not just our current one.

Having said that, I am prepared to accept that it's probably a good idea for society to give individuals a "way out" (live in solitude by choice). Otherwise, they might do some unfortunate things to themselves and/or others.
I, too, was surprised at no black bar. This man had tremendous influence on computing. For me it was personal, since I began my career journey in IT in 1967 after being fascinated by a Teletype clacking away interactively with a GE timesharing system at my local school district. Perhaps it has been too many years, and people now are so familiar with the interactivity of personal computers and cell phones, that they have little knowledge of how revolutionary the concept of timesharing was in an era when nearly all computers operated in "batch" mode.
Which is always the case, whoever can physically or persuasively force other to comply always win.

>The frequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible for the US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with its own GPS signals.

Not an answer to your question but it was more about being able to jam GNSS while still being able to use GPS.
> At issue is the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) desire to be able to jam other radionavigation signals in a theater of operation so as to provide an edge to allied users of military GPS receivers. This "selective denial" capability would be complicated by the presence of an encrypted PRS signal atop the M-code bands, because the U.S. could not jam the PRS without jamming its own signals.

If the grid connection fee is only €10/mo, then that doesn’t sound like it is really covering the full cost. Most US utilities have a monthly fixed fee around that amount. Just checked and mine is $15.05/mo. That fee is basically arbitrary and if everyone went solar and was only buying a nominal amount of energy from the grid there’s no way a few bucks a month from each customer would support the whole thing.

Why do people buy cars instead of using more cost effective mass transit?

Maybe not a perfect analogy but at least for me there is a certain amount of wanting to be self reliant and personalize the system and be in control of it.

My Dads 7kw array in the south lines right up with peek demand for air conditioning. Even with no batteries it gives them a 1500w emergency output if the suns out and the grids down. If you add a battery system you can get full output and use it into the night.

The ability to create shade from the panels is often overlooked, not only are they converting 20% of the suns energy to electricity with enough air space underneath they keep rook temperatures down and reduce heat load.

Would love to see a world where all cars are electric and all parking lots are covered parking with solar panels charing the cars.

So he stole a few cans of food from houses that were mostly unoccupied - big deal. There's so much food that gets thrown out on a daily basis, and if you can afford a holiday house in the forest, you're probably generating more than your share:

> In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30-40 percent of the food supply. This estimate, based on estimates from USDA’s Economic Research Service of 31 percent food loss at the retail and consumer levels, corresponded to approximately 133 billion pounds and $161 billion worth of food in 2010.

National Geographic was just a little more thoughtful in their depiction of Christopher Knight:

> Chris Knight left because there was no good spot for him in this world. If you don’t fit in and you’re a murderer, they put you in jail. When you don’t fit in because of mental problems, there are other facilities for you. This is a guy who was extremely bright, but just did not fit in. Some people said, can’t we just give him a little bit of land and a few bags of groceries, and let him live peacefully?

1) not really, machine translation still sucks in general, because

If I had to guess, High-functioning autism[1] is the most likely mental disorder to lead to such a complete self-isolation. It's similar to Asperger's in a way that a person is usually of normal or higher than average intelligence, but it makes it even harder to empathize with others, which leads to extreme anxiety and complete inability to concentrate attention in adult life. In other words, such a person might not be able to socialize, study, or work despite being intelligent enough. This can unsurprisingly encourage some unusual choices in life.

Looking at some examples given in the linked pages on this here, it stands out that there is a structure to each of the 32 bit records in this data. The first 16 bits are nearly random, but the second set obeys some rule: the third octet is a low number and the hole set of records is sorted by that. The fourth is always zero. If this is intended to be a kind of tracking identifier, this structure is a bit odd. Intuitively, I would rather interpret this as a list of tags that are stored in-band with the image.

I skimmed the paper linked there. They did use a digital model for glass-impurity substrate, to adjust the location of the impurities. This doesn’t sound much different than training with activation weight propagation — except, here one can literally see those weights. I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit usual definition of a neural network.
In such a case, I would agree. I was thinking "some random vehicle (perhaps a scooter thief) had a Bird scooter fall off."

There's certainly a good argument to be made that the fine should have been bigger, but statements like this misstate the facts:

"Here’s another way to say it: the biggest FTC fine in United States history increased Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth."

That's not what happened.

The stock went down in advance of the fine because the market knew it was coming. The fine turned out to be a bit smaller than expected so the stock recovered a bit. But Facebook stock would definitely be worth more if the FTC hadn't acted at all.
Or you know, they are just bad at it. It is quite apparent when you consider the allround quality of the stores.

They all have a monopoly in their field and barely anything they do will improve or diminish their revenue. So they just don't care.
They didn't manually adjust the glass until it worked (which would be infeasible), they wrote a differentiable simulator and used it to determine the material to use at each point via gradient descent, which is quite a feat.

That's exactly as self-assessing and self-modifying as a neural network implemented using any other kind of computation substrate.

For a subset of users, Facebook leaked "page likes, birthday, and current city".

Meanwhile, Equifax leaked the social security numbers of more than 145 million Americans, 200 thousand credit card numbers with expiration dates, and more than 175 thousand combined driver's licenses, tax/military ID cards, and passports.

In fact, Equifax has a long history of incompetence in this regard.

That's missing the point of the analogy, though; when Marx said that religion is the opium of the people, he wasn't referring the the addictive or negative health effects of opium. I'm not sure whether the point the article is making holds up to what Marx was getting at, but he wasn't saying that religion is literally an addictive drug; he was referring to the ability of opium to be used as a retreat from the stresses of life under capitalism. The full quote[0] is clearer:

>[Religion] is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.

>Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

There's a lot of ways to get natural light into a building without having direct exposure to sunlight.

An example would be Masdar City:

This sounds like they've rediscovered the digital sundial and are running it in reverse.

Light goes into face A of a digital sundial predominantly from a particular angle and comes out face B patterned like a number. Presumably if you shined light in the pattern of a number on face B, you'd get light coming out of face A predominantly at a particular angle.
Stichfix doesn't allow account deletion?
Anyone else tried Stitchfix then wanted to delete your account later so your financials aren't just hanging out on something you no longer use?

Apparently, there is no delete account option at all. Seems a bit strange for a company that is supposed to be "disrupting" fashion.

Looks like people have been upset about this for several years now too and nothing is being done about it.

The government covers a big part of the cost iirc. In 2010 (dated I know), the US paid 30% and North Carolina would also chip in 30%.

Also I did see some arguments against solar since they have negative environmental impact over time due to toxic elements and no formal recycle plan for all the panels 20 years later.
French guy here: no.

French people can usually speak basic English, and a third language is common if that person has ties with another country but that's it. At school, we are normally taught two foreign languages. The first one is usually English, few people actually practice their second one.

The situation is completely different in Scandinavian countries. And it is indeed quite normal to speak 4 languages in Finland (usually Finnish, Swedish, English and a 4th one, often German). Because their native language is only spoken by a few, foreign languages are a necessity for international relationships. And as a Finnish friend told me, learning new languages is a popular way to pass time during long winter nights.
> "If a priest receives the confession of the killer in an unsolved mystery, he should report it to the police, religious pearl-clutching be damned."

Confidentiality in such areas (also med/law) is usually restricted to past actions. If you confess you're going to kill someone, that does indeed have to be reported to the police. I doubt your local laws are different here.

Thus to construct a better analogy we need ongoing harm that was initiated in the past but can only be shortened by taking action. Maybe a confession like "Just had an argument with my kid and imprisoned it in the basement without food and water. Will release it after two days". Now should this have to be reported to CPS? I'm not sure, but think I would favor yes.
So basically one break in every 10 days? I also find it crazy that he only came across one hiker in 27 years.

Also, in Alaska, you are supposed to leave your cabins unlocked in case people need to use them if they were stranded, etc. I doubt that this area was that remote, just food for thought.
Using JWT in the context of a session based application looks very alluring at first glance (easy scalability in combination with microservices etc.).

I'd never heard of him. He's done a lot of interesting stuff, mostly in high performance computing. From his personal page:

"Gustafson has recently finished writing a book, The End of Error: Unum Computing, that presents a new approach to computer arithmetic: the unum. The universal number, or unum format, encompasses all IEEE floating-point formats as well as fixed-point and exact integer arithmetic. This approach obtains more accurate answers than floating-point arithmetic yet uses fewer bits in many cases, saving memory, bandwidth, energy, and power."

This article comes off far more as an author who doesn't actually understand religious groups than anything having to do with technology. I'm not sure they understand why people get addicted to the internet either. They clearly wanted to make a point, but it fell flat on all counts from my reading.
I think the idea is solid but the reliance on Google (or other provider) might be the weak point. The cloud may be great but still a gamble if you're totally at the whim of a provider that at any point can make changes that leave you out in the rain. And Google is no stranger to this kind of thing.

Dropbox came at a time when people were seeing the downsides of private solutions and the cloud was there to mitigate them. These days people are starting to see the downsides of relying on the cloud and are moving to private solutions.

The main difference is today's "private solution" is likely to be a self-hosted "cloud". So it's not that we're going back in time a decade, it's just choosing a combination of "private" and "cloud" that maximizes the advantages and minimizes the disadvantages.
Such specific detections could be countered by Apple, it serves no good adtech purpose if they can determine some small amount of devices existing on a LAN.

Do Children Soak Up Language Like Sponges?
My understanding is that for road safety, getting out of the car every 2-3 500-600 km in a single day. On the extremely rare occasions that I do; I'll plan to have some food in between and will likely end up stopping multiple times. That leaves plenty of room to charge. I don't think I've ever filled up a car and then drove it non stop until I nearly ran out of fuel. And I've driven some shitty cars with quite poor range.

Anyway, range anxiety would be justified if it was hard to find a charging point and or if you'd have barely enough range to get to the next charging point. Neither is the case. Your car will tell you how much juice you have left and where you can get some more. Unlike gas stations, charging points are all over the place and not bottle necked on fuel truck deliveries to handful of locations. So, there's no need to queue up to charge.
