Copyright assignments made by authors can be cancelled [1]. For papers and books from before 1994 or so (25 years from present), you can write a letter to the publisher cancelling your grant or assignment of copyright to them. The rules are complex so I might be missing some details. But there are probably a lot of researchers who could take advantage of this to put on some pressure and reclaim their work.

I strongly disagree. We treat chickens quite poor.
Laying hens for example, we throw most male chicks into a shredder because they can't produce eggs. That's beyond cruel regardless of their mental capacity.
Another example. Chicken debeaking is a practice used to prevent chickens self mutilating or destroying their eggs or each other.

"synthesizing meat" is transitional, coming from the mindset that meat is necessary. Once adaptation to eating plants happens, eating things which simulate animals can seem strange and cravings for animal meat and meat-like products may fade.

If you don't enjoy the thought of a eating a slaughtered cow patty, eating a healthier, plant-based version of a slaughtered cow patty that looks and tastes roughly the same may still not be that appealing.

Just like how AWS started as an internal Amazon service, Amazon delivery is very likely to turn out to be a standalone competitor to Fedex and start serving non-Amazon deliveries.
I think that would be possible, just a problem of adjusting all cameras to get overlapping FOV.

There was a MIT student project group that took 16 v1 cameras(!) global external shutter frames and created an animated .gif from that!

The numbers are random so why would sharing the numbers help reduce anything??

I never get calls from the same number. I've had the same scammer call me 3 times in one day from 3 different numbers.

This is the scammer that has called me 100s of times in the last 2 years: http://www.caribbeandiscountsinternational.com/about/

I tried to contact Tucows to complain, no way to do that. Then, I filed a report with ICANN that Tucows was violating their contract (because I can't report abuse), and that case was closed after two weeks.

The entire system is supporting the scammers.
It is not always brought up, but the anabolic steroid epidemic among police is having the dual corrosive effect of increasing individual aggression and reducing respect for the law among police officers.

UPS and FedEx are huge in logistics. Their world hubs are surrounded by warehouses

Amazon logistics is very much a thing in Europe, the UK at least. I would say about 2/3rds of my parcels in London are handled by actual Amazon contractors rather than the other options, such as Royal Mail which would be the closest USPS equivalent.

Faster than HDFS performance – a first for object storage: what it means
I think a lot of people are confused about what it is UC is trying to accomplish here! They are not saying to Elsevier "we demand everything be open access!" They are not even saying "open access should not cost more in fees!"

This is all UC is trying to request:

1) Allow any and all UC research the /option/ of being published open access (by paying the requisite >$1000 fees)
--> Elsevier countered by structuring the open access ability such that only about 30% of UC's published output would be able to be open access (i.e. as before, not all journals allow for it still)

2) Allow this, without (massively) changing the total subscription fees UC pays towards the journals
--> UC actually proposed a higher subscription cost to cover the transition to open access (based on the current fees associated with open access), and Elsevier countered with a much higher fee with, as stated in (1), 2/3rds of the research not given the option of open access.

3) Allow UC libraries to help cover the cost of the open access fee that researchers must pay to allow the research to be open.
--> Elsevier countered with "that's not allowed"

TL;DR UC wants ALL Elsevier journals to allow researchers to opt into open access (rather than a small number of them as is current) and they want that option with a reasonable increase in fees to the UC system.

It would also be great if people could use something like this in their browser for web clients such as Discord, since they save all messages forever, even if they are deleted.

This does not match the experience of my friends and relatives who live in rural areas. It's not like this meat is coming from the city. It starts out in the country, and it can be found there. I think it's likely that there are more sources than you think nearby you, and not at any more of a distance than you already go for many other things.
Good god, if they did that and integrated with Square and Shopify, it would be amazing. I like to think if there are companies out there who knows quite a bit about logistics, it would be UPS and FedEx. Although someone else might need to bring the warehousing expertise.
Fullstory basically lets me sit behind the shoulder of every user and e.g. watch them use the app in a way I didn't think of, or stumble over the features that I thought were obvious but turns out are very counter-intuitive.

It's totally a game changer for UX design.

Heap, Google Analytics, etc are actually not as useful; I find the app's DB and server logs provide more relevant data. So I don't think I'll add them back.
Baltimore is its own kind of nuts. Where every man has to be for themself. You have the gangs looking for you, you have the police looking for you, and then you have the corrupt police working for gangs looking for you. The safest thing you can do is keep your mouth shut. Whatever you say is eventually going to find it’s way back to someone who wants to hurt you.

I blame this on the war on drugs. The risk and reward from the drug trade has gotten so high that a human life isn’t worth much. Distributing pays well. Getting a life sentence from being caught is the risk. So, in a dealers mind, taking life to prevent theirs from being taken is justified.
I agree with this line of reasoning as well. Drug trafficking is punishable by death in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. Other East Asian countries _highly_ criminalize drugs and have significantly lower crime rates along with significantly higher rates of police reporting.
This makes sense. The act of recalling it is what cements your 'knowledge' of it, and repeating that recollection makes it easier to draw that connection each time.
So the problem is really with the bureaucrats that force researchers to publish in Elsevier journals. They should reward publication in equally well-reviewed open access journals just as much, if not more so, as publication in Elsevier journals.

And because those bureaucrats are often distributing public funds among those researchers, they should also have an interest in the results of that research being accessible to the public, and as many researchers as possible.

How to save a bit of money as a Solo Traveler
I would be curious if Amazon is using Fedex for its deliveries which are the most expensive to perform (rural area) while delivering all the lowest cost deliveries themselves (urban areas, a few miles from the distribution center). Fedex maybe losing money on every delivery.
I understood correctly that are two innovations here? The face-tracking and the ability to direct sound precisely.

I would be very interested in the sound direction solely. My use case is to project sound to me, in a bed, without my wife, sleeping next to me, hearing a thing. I like to sleep with music and she doesn't. A directed alarm would be nice too.

Is this technology already available some where?
Nothing is fixed. The spoofed calls will continue. This just makes it illegal but they’ve already been breaking the law scamming people.
Agreed. Sites like HackerRank are great for learning test taking but are not optimized for learning the underlying material. Would like to see modern human language learning techniques applied to small data structures and algorithms exercises.
There are some high-quality open access journals (e.g. https://www.emis.de/journals/SIGMA/) that don't charge authors. They use arxiv overlay. It is entirely possible.

The US is a violent place even without guns. The murder rates for non-gun violence are still astronomical compared to other developed countries. It's likely always been violent place, so how does that change?
> After all, if you only ate a little bit of meat, it would STILL be more sustainable to eat corn/soy-fed meat instead of grass-fed meat.

Absolutely no. A small amount of corn/soy fed meat where the corn and soy could have gone to human consumption (often with rain forests being burned down) is significant worse than a large amount of grass-fed meat in areas where farming is unsuitable and the need for biodiversity is higher than forestation.

The whole point of the push for environmentally friendly farming is that the food should not do harm to the environment. That it does not scale is a massive problem, but that does not make environment harming food better. Harm is harm.

It is a massive simplification to as saying that environmentally friendly farming has a higher impact on the environment because it take up too much land. Burning down rain forests is worse than using up a lot of land. Since we are currently not out of grass land but we are desperately running out of rain forests, getting people out of the market of meat and vegetables that come from areas that burn down rain forests for farming is a net-positive for the environment.
I think you've missed a step in the chain. If the octopus has to eat 3:1 of other fish, those fish probably had to eat a lot more stuff. It's at least 2 steps of concentration, not one step like rabbit etc.

I have to agree with you on that. I received a package this week and it was just unbelievably bad service. Compared to the Swiss Postal service fedex is in the stone age.

First package didn't arrive but a notice of final delivery attempt (was the first). They claimed the package doesn't fit in the mailbox and my "business" was closed.

Delivery notice has no QR code or quick way to access your shipment. Instead you need to type "fedex.com/ch_deutsch/mypackage" into a browser and then enter your tracking number, email and phone.

You are then presented with either having the package redelivered or delivered to an alternate address. No option to pre sign for the package or inform the driver where to put it.

If you want to pre sign the package you need to fill out the back of the delivery notice, sign it and make a photo which you send to switzerland@fedex.com. The notice will then be hand processed and you will be asked for the tracking number which is not on that side of the notice nor is there a field to fill out!

Tracking information is also completely wrong. Package is stated to be re-delivered on Tuesday after missed delivery on Monday however end of day no redelivery was attempted. Tuesday night I change the delivery address and I'm told package will be delivered on Thursday. Package arrived on Wednesday morning.

Best part. Package is actually a letter and fits in any mailbox :-/
The motivation for the war on drugs is not borne out of racism, but a combination of greed and public safety concern.
Well in the case of Maya beach in Thailand, where they have already restricted access, it was having a big environmental impact:

"Today, the almost 5,000 daily visitors to Maya Bay have contributed to the area’s eroding natural beauty, threatening local marine wildlife and sustainability of the ecosystem. Issues like boat anchoring, an excess of pollutants and sunscreen, and irresponsible tourist behaviors have led to a major decline of the coral reef system in the area, according to Andrew Hewett, a spokesperson for the Phi Phi Island Conservation and Preservation Group"

Agree. We're well on our way to be honest. Might be no way of stopping it. It'll just swing around on it's own in a few hundred years.
As a Canadian, I greatly prefer USPS as it reaches my door by way of Canada Post.

UPS, FedEx and DHL will leave packages in the open, if they deliver them at all. I work from home, and often they would claim delivery attempt when no such attempt was made. If they do happen to attempt and a signature is required but I am out, the nearest pickup location is an hour away.

Whereas Canada Post always attempts, and if I am out they will leave the package at the nearest post office, which is a short walk away.

Maybe USPS would have more value if it weren't being run into the ground? Canada Post performs reasonably well, after all.
There's a simple way to avoid it, with or without cellphones: don't go to dangerous places without being prepared for it.
Depends on the location. In NYC, USPS is far more reliable than UPS or Fedex. Just because they can actually get into buildings and leave packages inside.
Interesting is the nice word for it.

Honestly, there is nothing the same, and only a couple similarities such that one may be reminded of the other song. Remarkably, Pery added a ton of her own expression. These tunes are just not very similar.

Prior to this decision, I would have said no way to infringement.

Basically, the flood gates from hell were just opened. Music is about to get devalued (again), attorneys will make a killing, and the scope of new music will be reduced away from anything even remotely close to what major artists have released.

The latter may actually bring some new ideas forward, but I fear appetite for risk will prove more limiting than the new ideas may be potentially compelling.
I had a similar rough patch where things were marked delivered or undeliverable for them to show up the next day almost like the delivery person was faking deliveries to shuffle their numbers around.

For me it isn't worth it. Keep a paper copy of the important stuff, like your life insurance policy. Show your spouse where you put it.

If you have a decent chunk of life insurance it will make chasing down the other stuff much less important.
Grass-fed beef is worse for the environment than feedlot beef, which is already pretty damned terrible. You need more cows to produce the same amount of beef, which means more methane emissions. There isn't enough pasture land available to meet our demand for beef; cattle farming is already the primary cause of deforestation, which would only be exacerbated by a shift away from feedlots.

There is no ethical way to eat beef.

Our team has a lot of latitude for choosing technology we use and, since at @Cognitive Class we are helping people learn the latest and greatest tech I thought it might be good for us to look in to Dart and Flutter. I thought the team would embrace it without any hesitation. To my surprise they were very reluctant to do so. When I asked why, they said "it is Google so they will probably drop the project in a year or two". Not the answer I was expecting but there is a lesson to be learned here.
The catholic church in general is, incredible as this may sound, more open to evolution. It just takes a very, very long time, but there have been dogma updates and clarifications throughout the centuries, and even admissions of being in the wrong. I fully expect the church's stance on some highly divisive issues of today to further evolve in the coming decades.

Rather than insisting stories from millennia ago written by humans (even if you believe them to be divinely inspired) are forever perfect and right for an evolving secular civilization, it makes more sense to me if those stories are put into context by what are, in the end, educated professionals who have spent years studying them and other associated texts.

I've heard a lot of sermons from catholic priests who were good at their job (caveat: I've also heard priests who were terrible at their job...) that I would consider interesting and thought-provoking even for atheists. I'm particularly fond of jesuit priests (such as the current pope), who are more scientifically minded and more likely to speak "my language", in my experience.
I know in my good-old human-driven mode of transport what choice I would make.

Speeding and attractive nuisances are only victimless if you squint, as they both pretty clearly are statistically harmful to others (not when I speed a bunch of people feel the need to say I'm sure).

Public intoxication less so, but it is also mostly used as a pretext to remove people from public spaces in cases where it is obvious they shouldn't be there.

Speeding is also mostly treated as a minor infraction, not quite a crime. Sure, if you really do it good, you can get detained for an extended period of time, but you really have to do it good to end up in that situation.
Because it’s a publishable result.

I completely agree that this is a blind spot that current has no solution because it is ignored.

One can argue that a Michelin star restaurant is objectively better than the neighborhood McDonald's, but they could have identical ratings because the expectation of service is different. What is considered above and beyond at McD's is merely baseline at the other.

However it also works in reverse as well! Many sit-down Chinese restaurants in my area are rated poorly due to substandard service, but this is de rigeur at these establishments. The waitress is gruff, rushes you along, gives you the bill before you are ready, and in some cases, you have to make your own tea because they're too busy.

The food could be great but the ratings don't show it.
The Interface Neuroid, or how we digitize our minds
From the comments, WSL2 is not needed:

The procedure to use 32-bit under WSL-1 is the following:

enable i386 architecture
install multilibs
install qemu-user-static

register 32-bit elf magic to be executed through qemu-i386-static:

$ sudo update-binfmts --install i386 /usr/bin/qemu-i386-static --magic '\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x03\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x03\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00' --mask '\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfc\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xf8\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff'

reload binfmt:

$ sudo service binfmt-support start

and it executes x86 elf on WSL

any reference on the math by any chance? Really like to know about these things. Tks.
I second ag too. Not because it's faster, but because it is developer-oriented so it has sane defaults for searching into code.
I've heard a lot of similar stories, and I wonder two things:

1. Is some of that volume bad addresses or poor wayfinding? Something about how the delivery person ended up at the wrong location and didn't know where to go, versus bad actors.

2. Why haven't delivery companies cracked down on this? Maybe they have, but I still hear about it a lot.
No, not literally. There are a surprising number of cars on the road that are set up for events like autocross and such that have roll cages, etc. I've often seen these kinds of setups on small cars like Mazda Miatas. But, the point is, it's not just for race cars/track-only cars. Maybe you meant something other than "literally" but in case you didn't wanted to clarify that this is a relatively common thing in many circles.
well, you would have to someone "close" the ability to "decrypt" the used ballot instantly, otherwise while the election is ongoing someone could "decrypt" it.

Though I tend to agree, its more of a social issue that technology can't really solve and hence why I'm more concerned about a user (and hence others) being able to verify that their vote was recorded correctly than doing out utmost to discourage "vote buying" schemes as at the end of the day, I don't think technology can really solve that problem but having more faith in the electoral system as a whole by being individually verifiable has more value (even if it can make vote buying more common). but I understand I might be in the minority on that.
