Yes, theoretically it should be easy. Though I'm guessing every jurisdiction has a different way of categorizing things, and having human editors have the final OK will prevent situations where, say, a domestic dispute incident is pushed because it was misclassified by the police/emergency services.

Though the list [0] of CAD categories that Amazon Ring says it will publish, versus what they won't, makes absolutely no sense. For example, "Categories we cover" includes "Shootings" and "Stabbing". But "Categories we don't cover" include "Assault".

Awesome, looks really good so far.
That would be a very interesting study. Anecdotally, only one person in my group of ambitious acquaintances has left Norway due to better opportunities elsewhere. Some super-wealthy (>$20 million net worth) have left to avoid paying the annual wealth tax of 0.85% of the market value of all taxes.
I don't think you even realize how much of what we do/consume is manufactured overseas. Even a vast majority of seafood caught in the US is shipped to China for processing because we don't have the facilities or manpower to handle it.

If anything, it will just shift manufacturing to other Asian countries. Maybe some small % of it comes back to the US. Most will just move to a tariff loophole.

Animal fat contains more trans fats than canola oil (https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/2015/04/13/ask-...).

Pro/anti inflammatory of o6 effect is determined by the o6/o3 ratio which is ok in canola oil. Though even better in some other vegetable oils like olive. But olive oil would have too strong a taste for this application.
I'm not going to say you are wrong, but I would say your characterization is overstating the quality of the current job market in the US.

> Extremely low unemployment

This is accurate, if you measure U3 -- which is short term unemployed, as measured by surveys required to get short term unemployment insurance. If you measure the labor participation rate (U6), it shows something less than "extremely low unemployment".

That said, I think it's largely a problem with the candidates/employees and their mismatch between company expectations. Many unemployed have already filed for disability, so it's illegal for them to apply to work again. Many are convicted felons and have a criminal record which makes them unemployable in many careers. Many have life problems (learning disability, extreme substance abuse, illiterate, can't hold down a job, live in a region with a death of job openings and unable/unwilling to move, caring for a dependent, etc).
"Asymptomatic" just means poor or absent testing, not an inherent property. Better diagnostic tests can detect low visibility symptoms.

It's like saying that someone with nearsightedness is asymptomatic and therefore not nearsighted because someone is good at squinting. There are still symptoms if you know what to check for.
> But seriously, how did people live before the 80s without all these form of entertainment and useless gadgets ?

They spent $100/mo (inflation adjusted) on bowling lane fees, drinks at the bowling alley, team shirts, bowling shoes, et c, instead of Internet service plus a streaming service or three. Or something similar. Our modern distractions aren't exactly crazy-expensive. They're insanely cheap, really. We can have a big-ass flatscreen—at least one—for the cost of one little color TV they'd have in a 1970s house, and they would have one, with rare exceptions.

Not sure I agree on this one... a significant portion of the internet, and other devices (that aren't thought of as computers) are running Linux underneath. Android being the most popular user facing variant (custom UI/UX).

There's a lot to be said for open platforms. I'd also be surprised if given a few years that WebAssembly doesn't bring more open application options, even to closed ecosystems like Apple's iThings.
White noise is equal energy across all frequencies linearly. Sounds hissy because there are more frequencies included within each musical octave as you go higher.

It should be obvious that you can’t trust any political party with the power to decide who their own voters will be. It’s not a partisan issue. If Republicans are doing it more in recent years it’s only because they’ve had more opportunity.

Well, it got me to switch from Chrome to Firefox on Windows, so there's that at least. Firefox feels much faster to me now, and strongly reminds me of Chrome in the very early days.

Sell them to who?
Income tax comparisons will dramatically underestimate the tax burden for Norwegian citizens, but even then I believe you are only quoting the capital gains rate for non-securities investments. Summarizing from a comment I posted elsewhere:

* 25% VAT on everything except food, which is 12%. Electric vehicles currently exempt

* 40% income tax on average including 8% public pension contribution. Highest marginal tax on income is 47%, which applies to incomes greater than $116k.

* Employer has to pay 14% of your salary as employment tax. Company profits are taxed at 24% (this is separate from the capital gains tax). Stock-based compensation is taxed as income, so no possibility of weaseling around the employment tax. You won't get stock-based compensation unless you're in a startup or a C-class executive at a (big) private company. The wealth tax does weird things to the valuation of stock options; they'll almost always be worthless unless your company is sold or goes public.

* Net assets above ~$175k are taxed at 0.85% p.a, primary residence contributes only 25% of its market value to net assets

* 29% capital gains tax, primary residence is exempt as is most tax income from renting out primary residence. Sell your home with $1 million profit? No tax.

* 22% tax on capital gains or "general" incomes that are not linked to securities ownership. Relatively small amounts are collected through this bracket.

* On average ~$10k tax on all new motor vehicles, electric vehicles currently exempt

* A tax of approximately 30% (~5 NOK per liter) is applied to gasoline, in addition to the 25% VAT. Annual tax of ~$1000 on all motor vehicles, increasing with how good the vehicle is. Electric vehicles currently exempt.

* Various taxes on alcohol, tobacco, air travel. Some municipalities have a property tax on the order of ~$500 p.a. for an average residence.

I've eyeballed most of the currency conversions.
We actually learned this in Gabriel Chen's Chinese cooking class back in Ann Arbor, among many other things.

> What a disturbing quote and very telling about the state of our justice system.

Yeah, why are we charging so many innocent people with crimes? 1 in 20 seems a bit high. Ideally, cases with weak evidence wouldn't go to trial.

This is a useless attitude that causes people to die.

In the real world, people are exposed to various risks. It is a risk to drive a car. It is a risk to play a sport. It is a risk to drink alcohol. Every time you eat, there is a risk that you choke and die.

Solving public health problems by saying “you should have take more responsibility” is not effective. But the goal is to reduce negative outcomes. We can regulate cars to make them safer. We can provide free programs to stop people smoking. And yes, we can provide alternative HIV prevention methods to people who aren’t reliably using condoms.

Anyway, your underlying point is wrong in any case, for two reasons - first, PrEP is more effective at HIV prevention than condom use, which would presumably mean in your view that not using is would be irresponsible. Second, there are obvious cases when people contracting STDs because they didn’t use condoms for sex do not bear personal responsibility, such as when one of a long-term supposedly-monogamous couple contracts a STD without informing the other.

Putting all your eggs in one basket never a good idea, regardless of the vendor. If multinational companies diversify their cloud usage, why does the DoD not do it?

What's important here is a mandatory multi cloud buying requirement, where each vendor continually competes on price, quality and features to retain the customer. If any vendor slips, new ones should be able to take their place. Procurement by the feds needs to be more dynamic

At work, we've been pushing everyone to use an app called clockwise. Basically it integrates with your calendar, moves meetings around (with your approval) to maximize focus time (2+ hour blocks of work).

It also allows you to set up "Do not disturb" on slack during your focus and meeting time. It's awesome.

(BTW, no personal association with the company, just a happy user).

If I pay $100 for a product to listen to my vocal queries and respond, and you listen to improve the product's ability to respond, fine.

If you use it to track subsonic audio watermarks to detect what advertisements I see on my TV or find out what products and services I'm interested in, screw off.

Every engineer who pushes code to synergize advertisement business with their consumer audio product business should be ashamed of themselves. It's unethical and should be illegal.

I want the products I buy to do what I think they do. Not hide tracking used to improve other products from the business that I don't pay for.

I think there are three classes of interest rates:
- teaser rates (very low, but only in the first x months, then they reset to a standard rate)
- standard rate for decent credit
- default-risk rate -- card holders are moved to this rate by a clause in their contract if they default on any credit obligation on their credit report or if they miss a certain number of payments on the "due by" date.

I'm using my own terminology; no idea what industry jargon is for these.

That reasoning allows you to get any final signal you want depending on where you stop in the series, not on how you order the individual coefficients. Addition is still commutative. The parent comment was about every sound _and_ its inverse, which can only ever add up to zero.

(Also, you're missing the frequency components there; your math cannot reproduce any sound at all, it can only reproduce different amplitudes of the same sine wave.)
I don't have a dog in this fight, however, I am curious. Who exactly are you? Who is this "we" you are referencing? And why does this comment need to be avoided?

<sigh> Okay, let's do this again.

Anyone arguing over frequentist versus Bayesian statistics is missing the foundations of their statistical training. Both are subsumed by the framework of decision theory. This isn't new. It goes back to Wald's work in the 1950's.

And the examples he is talking about wouldn't be saved by different statistical methods. No fiddling with techniques at the end can save a failed design of the trial.
each of which becomes a class

Wasn't part of the whole thing with lambdas that they don't all become individual classes?
This is exactly how the current wave of gerrymandering began. The mandate to create "majority-minority" districts led to the concentration of districts that favored minorities (Democrats) but at the same time created two or three districts with sizable (but not insanely so) Republican districts.

From the Atlantic:

"But just in time for the redistricting in 1990, some enterprising Republicans began noticing a rather curious fact: The drawing of majority-minority districts not only elected more minorities, it also had the effect of bleeding minority voters out of all the surrounding districts. Given that minority voters were the most reliably Democratic voters, that made all of the neighboring districts more Republican. The black, Latino, and Asian representatives mostly were replacing white Democrats, and the increase in minority representation was coming at the expense of electing fewer Democrats. "
