Agreed, that last 5% of fine tuning frequency bands etc you need a professional, but if you were going to roll out $12 hearing aids to all of the low income areas of the world 1 billion people at a time, using an android app on a cell phone you could probably give a lot of people back their hearing. Volume levels could be hard-limited in software, and people who need to exceed the preset limits could be referenced to a senior technician in those 5% of cases or whatever it might be.

Being able to hear even every other word would improve quality of life of many people. Probably one in three words is the acceptable limit of "good enough" where suddenly they are worthwhile to hassle with. My grandparents now hate family gatherings because they might understand only one in five sentences spoken directly to them because of hearing problems and the quality of the hearing aids they're able to afford with their insurance.
But it's only selectively enabled no?
You seem to be contradicting yourself, unless I'm misreading things.

There are absolute rights, and debating where the line falls is pointless. But when applying it to the real world, you need flexibility (i.e. debate where the line falls).

Anyway, isn't that basically what we already have, with free speech? It's legally protected in even extreme cases where it arguably causes more damage than value, but per event it tends to go through courts (or there is enough court precedence to make that wasted effort).

Court precedence applying flexibility to an absolute intent/right is the debating of the line. Isn't it?

They had an ridiculous degree of autonomy for much of their existence, their own large armies and their fleet included warships. At one point loaning a huge sum of money to the state in exchange for even more autonomy.

It was only going into the 19th century that anything resembling control or oversight started to come into being. Which in no small part led to their disestablishment.

I wonder how much hydropower they need before the opportunity cost of hacking exceeds that of mining crypto. I don’t think anybody wants them to spend money on weapons, but in the eventuality that they never go to war, it would probably be desirable to prevent theft.

No.

First, the super rich can afford it: they have full-time nannies that can help raising children.

Second, an exhausted parent is not going to be parenting. Everyone needs a break.

Third, your approach would have left Bill Gates a nobody. Instead , he was "addicted" to computers. Many high performing and successful individuals are so because they have in effect an addiction which makes them go beyond the ordinary person.

This clues you in on to what is next: parenting does not stop because you turned the TV or Xbox on. It means work:

- work to select and make sure your child can only watch YouTube clips that are beneficial : for example advanced math, learning a foreign language , etc (so that by age 4 he is fluent in at least 2 New disciplines)

-discipline so that you reinforce the learned material, for example sit down to review math, only speak to a child in the foreign language you are trying to teach, practice the sport he sees on a videogame

-patience to review video games so hes only playing games that will help him learn (Crusaders Kings, Europa, MS simulator, etc)

Parenting doesn't stop with videogames. My niece could type faster than her mach teacher because of Minecraft. If she had been my daughter, she would probably been a sysadmin by age 16 (server rental anyone?)

A lot of people get caught up in Rust's low level implementation stuff but you really don't need to touch that stuff at all if it's not your thing. Just understand enough about what you're doing with memory and the various performance trade offs which become more prominent at that level of the machine.

There's more than enough high level stuff like the type system and traits which you can go harder into in terms of learning new/better ways to program.
It is curious, because the time you spend talking to staff is directly costing them money, so you would imagine they have a serious incentive to arrange their backend systems to be fast and efficient to resolve your query quicker and save them money.

>> Most of the complaints about the US focus on comparatively small mistakes

Taking down democracy in Iran. Supporting dictators in Latin America and Africa and assisting them in hunting down democracy activists. Financing terrorism in Angola for two decades. Fabricating an incident in order to attack North Vietnam, killing 3 millions people. Supporting "Asian Hitler" Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Tacitly supporting Pakistan's genocidal attack against Bangladesh. Selling weapons to the terrorist regime of Iran, and then using the money to support terrorists in central America. Fabricating a threat in order to invade Iraq (hundreds of thousands of dead, millions displaced). Supporting terrorist groups in Syria. Waging undeclared wars in (at least) seven countries at the moment.

Since the product is launched you should really provide the actual product that way we can give you specifics instead of vague wantrepreneur sound bytes.

Regarding pivots, there is a large body of reading that might help you create your own rubric for how or when to pivot. I would recommend starting with some of the literature out there.
I struggle with this too— another way to think about it is that a checklist frees your mind to think of more creative/important things. By delegating the mundane to the checklist, your brain no longer needs to constantly track the basics and instead is free to focus on higher order thinking.

I find it takes a disproportionate amount of mental energy just to track even 5-10 items. Committing those items to a written list makes it easier for me to take that limited resource and be creative instead of constantly wondering if I completed step 3.
Yeah, I mean it's fine most of the time, but if something happens (e.g. a delay and you get there at midnight) I like knowing that 1) a hotel is going to be in a busy, well-lit area downtown 2) the lobby will be open and there's going to be someone there to help me and 3) there will probably be a restaurant or bar or something I can go to within the hotel to eat at if there's nothing else around. Again, it goes back to minimization of travel-related risk.

Personally there's nothing about staying at someone else's "home" that give me any feeling of being at my "home".
> We know there are asteroids with price changing amounts of precious metals - we aren't mining them.

Personally I think "the devil you know" mentality is better when considering that any Telecom tech could be compromised. Yeah everybody is probably spying, so you should get your gear from your strongest allies.

Would you rather have a friend or an enemy spying on you? That appears to be the only options now that technology has thoroughly penetrated every day life.

Another point not mentioned enough is that societies with free press are far more likely to find and report exploits/backdoors. In a country like the US you see this a lot. There's many cases of security researchers reporting possible government funded exploits against their own government. In a place like China reporting something like that would probably mean you disappear
> I guess trying to free up some RAM by moving things to swap (the swap partition was full by this point)

In that case, it cannot be moving things the swap since it was alreay full. What did probably happen is that since the swap was already full and not enough it started to trash the system by paging out the executable files in the memory. Ironically enough you'd probably have much smaller risk of trashing had the system have more swap space.

>Functions exist on actual computers because of procedures. That's the part you still seem to be struggling to understand for some reason.

I understood this since the dawn of time, I've made that clear. What's also clear is that from a theoretical standpoint, Functions and procedures exist on their own as individual procedures that are isomorphic, not dependencies.

>The only one twisting words here is you.

No your right I'm wrong, it's not word twisting. It's that you don't know certain things.

>The procedures.

Procedures can't be composed. I googled Procedure Composition there is NO FORMAL definition meaning you made it up.

Here's the top google result for Procedural Composition:
http://harrisburg5thgradewriting.weebly.com/third-quarter/pr...

>By running them in sequence.

You made that up. Cite a formal source.

>It means those two steps are composed, yes.

No it does not unless you make up your own definition of the term. Give me an official source that tells me what procedural composition is.

>Says the one who still insists that function composition can somehow exist on real computers without procedure composition.

Now this is just pure lie. I never said it can EXIST ON COMPUTERS. Never did. I said in the world of mathematics and computer science functions and procedures are isomorphic not dependent.

I'm not being derogatory or insulting when I say this. I am stating a fact. You are a liar.
But my point is the archetypes are so broad they may as well be meaningless. "Futile Struggle Against Fate" encompasses so much.

That is an odd one isn't it. It seems it is partly a bribe to make sure they safeguard their nukes and keep them from getting into the wrong hands, and also to ensure it doesn't harbor terrorists and militants who might interfere with America's ambitions in the region. Then India has traditionally, since Cold War times at least, been buying Soviet and Russian military technology. From that point of view, US probably wants to counter-balance it by arming Pakistan, to avoid Russia and India getting an upper hand in the region.

Also, interestingly, in the last two years their military aid has been reduced by almost half https://www.statista.com/chart/12384/us-aid-to-pakistan/. It seems the current administration is keen on reducing foreign aid across the board so maybe that's not too surprising. Though if I was China, I would notice that and make sure to "fill that void" so to speak.

This is not true. They were likely ethnically Egyptian or Phoenician or Libyan but had Hellenic names. In the same way the Iranian mathematicians in the article had Arabic names. Culture and language often cross ethnic boundaries and it's up to historians to piece it all together.
1) A classified attribution involving intelligence collection. It could be anything from corrupted foreign officials to hacking

2) A law enforcement investigation would ideally be built upon a collection of circumstantial evidence combined with mistakes by the hacker. In the case of Russia, one of their hackers forgot to log into the VPN before logging into the Guccifer social media account.
Hotels guarantee me an acceptable sleeping experience. With AirBnB, the quality of the mattress and bedding is inconsistent and sleep is of utmost important on business trips.

Being able to specifically see reviews for the mattress and bedding would be a game changer for considering AirBnB for work trips. I don't care how instagrammable a listing is if I don't get a good night of rest when I need to be up early in the morning.

If someone from AirBnB is reading this, please make it easier to find out about the quality of the sleeping experience.

> Last time I checked, for 70 years the US has overwhelmingly acted as a defender of liberal democracies, not an antagonist.

There is so much wrong with this statement. Let's take a look at some of your great examples.

> Iran (theocracy)

Do you know anything about American and British led operations to overthrow the Iranian government in the 1950s?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...

They overthrew a democratically elected government in order to install one more friendly to Western oil interests. Does that sound like a government that is the "protector of liberal democracies"?

> Cuba (dictatorship)

So the popular revolution against the military dictator Fulgencio Batista ended up with a pretty authoritarian government. We can argue on the legitimacy of the communist government, but let's talk about the government before that.

If the US was a "protector of liberal democracies" and likes to be "in conflict" with dictators, why didn't they care much about the government before the communist one? Oh yeah, because American companies owned 70% of the island and Batista was put into power by the US themselves.

> Venezuela (dictatorship)

Oh, Venezuela. This is a great topic. The US has been wanting to topple the democratically elected government since it's inception.

Here's a quote summarizing the sentiment of the people before 1999, when Hugo Chavez was elected.

> A sensation of insecurity became generalized throughout the population, constituting "an emerging culture of violence. . . very distinct from the culture of tolerance and peace that dominated Venezuelan society in the past." (Briceño León et al., 1997: 213). Along with unemployment, personal safety topped the problems perceived as most serious by the population. Between 1986 and 1996 the number of homicides per 10,000 inhabitants jumped from 13.4 to 56, an increase of 418 percent, with most of the victims being young males

It was a very bad time to be Venezuelan. Nowadays it is also a bad time to be Venezuelan. Why though? Do you think American sanctions and big business sabotage has nothing to do with it? To think so would be naive.

There are countless examples in every region of the entire planet where the US has done things that are not in line with the tag "protector of liberal democracy". They regularly cooperated with dictators, even brutal ones like Pinochet or Saddam Hussein. They do not care one lick about liberal democracy. It is realpolitik, plain and simple.

Now, I must state for posterity... The US is not the only country that behaves in this manner. I think any country will behave this way, because it's simply game theory. If someone's interests are in line with yours, you're going to cooperate with them.

I just think the US has so much power that it's influence is felt at a much higher presence than any other nation. So while any other country in the US's position would be performing similar actions, it's the US that's performing this actions.

I understand visual perceptions and descriptions to be literal mappings of high-dimensional information spaces.

Smooth vs rough vs rippled vs grainy, fuzzy vs hairy vs spiky, striped vs mottled, etc. We get a lot of understanding of a material’s properties by looking at it, coupled with prior experience with similar-looking ones.

There’s even more richness involved when you take human cultures and other senses into account. I’d be surprised if I tried to turn what looks like a doorknob and it didn’t wiggle even a little; every locked one I’ve met does. I’d be shocked if my hand passed right through it instead. And when applied to other people, my God! It’s usually easy to tell when someone is angry or bored, often even if it’s aimed at us vs some third party—how many dimensions does that encapsulate?

Many animals are clearly capable of this too. The language appears to be the leap. It makes me wonder even more about crows talking to each other about which humans feed them, and what a shotgun looks like and can do.

She later clarified what she meant, in her 2008 interview with Time magazine by saying: "People misunderstood that phrase. I was deploring the way in which President Clinton was being treated, vis-à-vis the sex scandal that was surrounding him. I said he was being treated like a black on the street, already guilty, already a perp. I have no idea what his real instincts are, in terms of race."

In her original comment it is more limited even than that - it refers to hearing other people "murmuring" of Clinton as "the first Black president" in the context of his impeachment, rather than giving some sort of unqualified endorsement of the idea herself; but people do love an inflammatory sound byte.
