Runtastic.com Removing Web Version
On old Win95 machines, you couldn't disable swap, because DirectX used it to buffer audio in several games (Jedi Knight comes to mind) and so your game wouldn't have any sound with virtual memory disabled.
I used the web version to track swimming, workout etc, now it's gone. They let you export your data (waiting for mine)...anyone knows of a good replacement (with web version), that ideally allows to import Runtastic data?
Brazil - Sistema de Pagamentos Brasileiro (Brazilian Payment System) 2002

> Guidelines for the Brazilian Instant Payments Ecosystem: The Brazilian instant payments ecosystem will have a flexible and open participation structure and will be similar to the existing interbank electronic funds transfer (TED)—with greater availability, speed, and simpler addressing of payments. The transactions will be performed in a simple and fast way to different beneficiaries. Moreover, the BCB (Brazilian Central Bank) will develop a single settlement infrastructure.

Such societies did and do exist, but usually they are good examples of why we limit hate speech. Nazi Germany and the US South during the KKK’s peak are a couple easy ones to reference. Both of those are examples of societies without free speech that still allowed speech that most societies do not.
> Sometimes you might just need to ban Roblox for their own good and help them learn like lessons another way.

I guess it depends on what the worst-case scenario is? You're advocating for banning the game altogether just because they have the opportunity to get scammed and lose some in-game items. I'd rather lose items and still have permissions to play the game than not be able to play altogether because "otherwise I'd get scammed".
Anecdotally, the biggest change that made a difference for me was switching to a more natural deodorant (Dr. Schmidt's bergamot+lime) from some of the big brands. I used to be able to smell body odour by the end of the day or go into a panic if somehow I forgot to apply in the morning. The odour has drastically been cut down, even if I did not apply the deodorant.

Apparently, when switching to natural deodorant it's supposed to get worse before it gets better which didn't happen for me.

I've asked my partner who has a pretty sharp nose and she agrees with me.

Not to detract from how cool this work is but the preconditions for this to work are quite far-reaching. It is based on bridging the reality gap by having that gap approach zero - by removing error sources from the real world rather than model and account for them. Same goes for other ASL work.
You are cherry picking the second stats of your document, but the first one indicate that France and USA are very similar. For Paris, it is exactly the same number as NYC : 1h30, the number you used it from an error in the article, if you look at the source it separate the home/work duration to the whole transport time in a day (for example to go to a concert after work).

For subsistence farmers, prices and markets are irrelevant. The effect of higher yield would be that less of their land needs to be devoted to growing rice, leaving some free land for growing other foods.

In anything approaching a free market, it is hard to imagine that lower production costs won't reduce the price of a heavily-traded commodity with millions of producers.

In a communist system of collective farms, or a fascist system of government-mandated prices with monopolistic distribution networks, it is anyone's guess what political decisions will be made. Such systems regularly produce politically-motivated famines, so slightly lower nutrient levels will be the least of their worries.

As a moderate I am not repulsed by the repulsive, I'm interested in understanding it, and I think all moderates are.

People have a fascination with what repulses us look at documentaries about murders, ww2 etc.

Todays problem is that moderates can not openly debate the extremists without themselves being labled as an extremist so their arguments can be dismissed, deplatformed and then used as justification for a personal attack.

I just destroyed my Backblaze buckets recently and realized they didn't have a "delete" button. You have to make a deletion API request for every single item in each bucket before you can delete a bucket.

I found that a bit ridiculous. My internet was so bad that I had to spin up an EC2 nano just to make a few billion requests and have them succeed. Took hours.

If backblaze wants to charge you on the way out (I wonder how much all those requests cost me), okay fine. But please just make a "delete bucket" button that does all this for us. If I was in a worse mood, I would've considered letting the account accrue balance until they did it for me.

Better Encrypted Group Chat
I’ve worked for Amazon. The thing you have to remember on the retail side is much of the focus is on CP (contribution profit) and much of analysis has to do with finding the largest negative CP products in different marketplaces and pulling levers to make them less negative. There’s a large number of negative CP items carried just because it improves customer selection which helps drive larger cart orders. I never heard of squeezing more profits out of already profitable products probably because positive CP is an indicator of a competitive price point.
In your statement above you bemoan that without absolute rights we must "constantly debate where _the line_ is"

I don't disagree with you, but most people won't be persuaded by this framing.

I don't know if/how blue lights impact diabetic injections, since those apparently aren't injecting veins per se, but a more compelling argument for most people is that not all people using a syringe are engaging in illicit drug use.

When we design hostile architecture, we design with a presumption of guilt and punish or problematically forbid a lot of innocent behavior as well. This is one of the better arguments if you wish to actually persuade people.

I have a feeling that the next 15 months will be an interesting time for this.
That's an over-simplified analysis. With road accidents, people have reasonable expectations that certain behaviors can reduce their personal risk of being killed in an accident. For instance, that average includes people who drove drunk, run redlights, drive during ice storms, etc. By avoiding these activities an individual can reduce their personal risk dramatically below the national average.

Not to mention I can virtually eliminate any possibility of dying in a traffic accident by remaining in my backyard, where I might still be struck in the head by a delivery drone. What risky behaviours am I meant to avoid there, being outside? You should instead compare the risk somebody following reasonable safety precautions would have in each scenario.

How to communicate your value without selling out
At least nobody thinks that he's not paying attention. Aren't video ads all about subconscious tactics? For instance, it seems to me that some ads on YouTube, which are skippable after 5 seconds, really try to hook you to watch the rest. Really annoying.
> "Absolutely positively absolute rights" are taking decent heuristics

You're assuming that moral propositions are heuristics or a utilitarian optimization problem, and not moral facts that are simply true or not true. This is still a contentious debate, and not the only possibilities either.

In this case, the answers to your questions depends entirely on what the moral facts are. For example, it may be morally impermissible to take a life under any circumstances, which answers many of your questions quite clearly.
Don't take these threads as gospel. There's always shitty kids and there's always shitty people online.
I have relatives (young kids, obviously: 7-14yrs old) who live in different cities. They play on Roblox together on weekends and use the chat to communicate. It's quite cute. They seem to know what they're doing (because their parents gave clearly taught them well). They play innocent RP games, and they don't chat with anyone other than between themselves. Most of the minigames they play are role play or dress up. There's even a bodybuilding one where you lift larger and larger weights until you become a giant. Harmless stuff like that. There _is_ however minigames like a Counter Strike clone (which is very well made I might add), which aren't for a younger audience. But because they use it to play _together_ they don't even want to play those "violent" games, they just want to be together.
I've watched then play before. Before I did I didn't think much of Roblox; I thought it was some crappy Minecraft clone but it's really not.
I think Roblox is great if your child knows
1. Not to talk to anyone
2. Not to play "violent" games.

You might say "kids will be kids and they'll play those damn violent games and they'll talk to those damn pedos", but my relatives don't seem to want to do any of that.

What Is Haberman?
The most successful attacks on democracy are gerrymandering (US especially) and misinformation (global problem, see Brexit thou specifically). Don't get me wrong, this sort of security is necessary but there's nothing wrong with tossing out the machines and using real paper ballots with a pencil (thus sidestepping the problem). You can even machine-read those for a machine count (which can be verified since the paper ballots are still around to rescan with different hardware/software for validation).

How do you engineer around the misinformation vector thou? That's the hard problem.
I've been reading these reports since 2012(13?) and have used them multiple times to buy hard drives for my home storage systems, I haven't always had similar results however.

Does anyone else use these posts to pick their own personal disks? If so do you see the data given as a good indicator of lifespan or is the home environment vs DC just too different?
I miss the old first-person shooters and the concept of self-contained servers (instead of a global user profile system). Games last for a couple hours, and everyone starts at zero and gets weapons & perks as the game continues (so newbies aren't stuck with bad guns while level 100+ players dominate the server). In 30 minutes of playtime or so you'll have earned enough points (by killing enemies, etc) to be able to afford any weapon you want, compared to now where getting to the top takes months of grinding. There was also no global profile system, so no need to worry about your rank, K/D ratio, etc.

As a result the games were pretty relaxed, there wasn't any rage and the chat conversations were respectful and actually substantial (akin to an IRC network). The game was Crysis & Crysis Wars (and unfortunately the developer ruined all that going forwards with the sequel).
It would seem logical that this is easier in cities that existed before the car vs cities that existed after. Those cities would have had sufficient residential and commercial density that the adapted to facilitating travel by car and truck and could more easily adapt back vs what we see with post-car cities that are sprawling.

How are all the people talking about Windows here getting it to behave better? In my experience, when you run out of memory on Windows, the whole machine locks up hard for ten or fifteen minutes while it thrashes the disk before finally killing the offending process. (Admittedly that's on spinning metal; SSD would probably do better.)

I doubt the veracity of this oft-repeated meme, but I'll let Snopes provide the detailed analysis: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/643000-bankruptcies-in-the...

I would appreciate similarly-detailed evidence to the contrary.
Yeah, the OSM PBF format is really efficient in size, but it can be quite a pain to work with those files. Every way consists of nodes, which are usually at the very beginning of the file (first nodes, then ways, then relations). So in order to work efficiently, you'll need a node cache (which at the moment is more than 40G). Seeking is not viable because there is no indication in which block the node will be. On-disk caching is an option, but it will slow you down substantially.

So unless you are doing meta-analysis of the raw OSM data, without assembling geometries, hand-rolling an OSMPBF reader is viable, otherwise I would suggest either using something pre-processed (extracts in real geodata formats), an established parser like osmium or rather import the data into e.g. postgres and do some querying there.

Cradle of Civilization
> Rights and wrongs are inherently social constructs.

This is an assumption, and not on supported by debates in ethics. Once you start questioning everything, you'll see that some moral propositions appear to be unassailable, in that, no argument can simultaneously question the truth of the proposition without also descending into logical incoherency. The categorical imperative would be one such approach, although not the only one.

There are good reasons why most philosophers are moral realists.
A lab is not just "a testing machine". Depending on the analysis being performed, you need an array specialist equipment. Then the lab has to be staffed.

> If drones have a lower %, we should view falling death boxes as acceptable

Yes, if drone delivery is safer we should switch. (Though there are better mortality measures than frequency of fatality.)

We’re not close now. In aerospace, frame is fate. Quadcopters are optimised for maneuverability and cost, not safety or reliability. They have no inherent redundancy and limited margins of safety. The reason they were chosen for this application is they’re cheaper to MVP, given the standing supply chain.

Compare that to the number of things that must go wrong for a truck to seriously injure someone. (Here: speed failure, braking failure, airbag failure, et cetera.)

comparing the results of your small scale personal drive purchases to their larger scale won't perfectly align. Their numbers are an average over a large number of drives - your number is picking 1 of their drive randomly and giving the number etc..

Virgin trains wants basically another 10-15 a month on top of your journey for internet and you can't take a bike on their trains without phoning ahead first. Cross country aren't much better.

Phone internet doesn't work on the train typically. That combined with the travel sickness after each journey make the car much more appealing.

I will never go back to using the train as long as I can legally drive. They are just garbage in the UK and expensive.

I doubt I will buy a new car either. I own two cars. I have an old 1994 mercedes SL which is kept in a storage garage at the moment and the other car is a 2005 vauxhall astra that is getting up to 400,000 miles and doesn't show any signs of dying just yet. Every newer car I have driven is full of mostly electric crap which tends to break or they have some awful drive by wire nonsense that takes the feeling out of the vehicle.
