I swear lawyers are a bunch of geniuses. How long until your personal computer becomes a liability because some cached content in the browser becomes knowingly hosting content? Had it on your phone and took a trip? Now you’re transporting across state lines. Absolutely ridiculous. And as per my last comment, this is 100% about increasing settlement size because the lawyers get a percent. Never been through a class action before? Let me tell you how it works: the opposing lawyer has a set amount of payout they want before they even begin the process. They work to achieve that amount. Once it’s agreed on then they are happy. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with enforcing laws or protecting rights. It is all about buying a lawyer a new house.

The question is why where they rejected? My wife is a researcher and does a fair amount of peer review and sometimes she has to reject papers, not because their necessarily wrong, but because they're so badly written its hard to tell if they're right or wrong. Other times the research and paper is fine, but the conclusions are overstated, for example claiming that A is better than B, when all they've actually proven is that A is not worse than B. Other times it's great paper in every way, but covering a topic that really isn't relevant for that particular journal.

Basically there are lots of reasons to get rejected that have nothing to do with the quality or validity of the research.

I think you're being a little consciously naive.

Choosing not to prosecute (especially because prosecuting tax fraud requires proof of willfulness) and simply collecting a tax deficit is pretty common, especially in cases of corporate tax evasion.

The disagreement in this case is called a tax deficit, and is what I meant by wrong. It's also the first necessary part of tax fraud.

EDIT: Also, if you read about the source of the $345 million tax bill (from the article), it's hard to see how this would've been a problem with "unclear phrasing"...
it's not the same file - just the same, final text proof. It will be different from the final formatting in the journal.

I dont think authors have incentive to abuse the system. Just upload the final proof of your manuscript to arxiv, click "final version" , and this lets people know that this is the same article as in the journal.

DOIs are ubiquitous and they would serve the purpose of redirecting to the free pdfs rather then the journal site. This can be applied to existing articles retroactively. Plus, many bibliography styles include the DOI which makes the reference easier to use

Also more likely to be violent or aggressive and thus kicked from legit places to live. More likely to have criminal record. The whole "on average men take their aggression against others women again themselves" in this aspect hurt men more.

Well, ok. Bombing the shit out of everyone is a possibility but would lose major political points. No allies left after that move.

I suppose the closest analogy is Syria but even there, there is so much proxy war going on that it's impossible to discern the reality of the situation.

Bottom line is that it is in the best interest of the political elite to avoid angering a non trivial portion of an armed population. There is no such restriction on a disarmed population.

Because a person tuning an aid for themselves is rather likely, IMO, to simply choose more amplification since they can hear better then. Which will then backfire when they lose hearing even more. I've seen braggart reports of people with strong hearing loss and aids able to hear speech from more distance than healthy people—but is that good in the long term?

Firstly, people already have to be told to not play music too loud with headphones. And secondly, when you buy an aid, the audiologist tells you that you won't be comfortable with it for some time until you get used to it—even though the aid is supposedly tuned to the exact profile of your hearing loss. People aren't good at getting used to uncomfortable things without adjusting them to their short-term liking.

On top of that, audio engineers, musicians and graphic artists know that it's difficult to do fine adjustments of audio or graphics for long because the senses become tired and ‘burned out’ after a while and you don't see or hear the same (even just five–ten minutes is enough sometimes). Novices are likely to be unfamiliar with these effects, have less stamina for them, and unable to counteract them without overcompensating.
Can you yourself reliably detect if something is a list of SSN's or some other type of identifier?

I think you can. Now when we have neural nets capable of distinguishing 100s of different dog breeds, we still have to trip on the most basic and structured type of entity extraction? No. A simple regex, combined with heuristics, and a linear model on top can reliably detect SSN's.

Just that there will be a few false positives (no matter if you automate this, or do this manually) does not mean it is a Herculean technical challenge to do this.
Most of them would opt for the simpler solution of spraying more chemicals everywhere as if they only affect mosquitos

I agree that the pattern is likely deliberate. If not explicitly designed, then at least constructively where rules kept getting added to optimize the amount paid out, leading to novel ways of saving money such as kind-of reneging on the contract.

I had thought there would be more specialty pharmacies, with the real need for them just being that those drugs wouldn't be stocked at every single branch in case someone needs them. I've personally seen competing offers (in my situation, the PBM is not CVS, and has its own mail-order pharmacy so it encourages you to switch), but haven't had to investigate them because CVS is still working fine. But why would CVS be buying up other "specialty pharmacies" if they weren't a racket of one kind or another.

I certainly agree that this usecase isn't really "virtual reality" in concept, but it is "VR" as far as platforms go, which I think is what is relevent here.

I think that, at least in the near future, developers would need to be aware of the VR platform when working on such apps. Ignore toolchain and issues, developers would still need to design a VR first UI. There is probably a lot of room to innovate around how to take advantage of head gestures; how to take advantage of virtual vs absolute coordinate systems [0]. And, the more mundane fact that VR developers have far more screen real estate to work with then desktop developers, who typically assume that the entire monitor is visible at the same time.

[0] I'm not sure what the correct names for this are. Bassically, the fact that there can be an image that is always in the same spot in your vision as you move your head, as well as images that appear to be "static" and therefore whose location in your vision changes as you turn your head.

Sure, it's simple economics, but in this case it is too simple.

It turns out that the hearing aid market has inelastic demand [1][2]. In 2010, market penetration for hearing aids in the U.S. was around 24% (8.2 million users). Amlani estimated that with a complete subsidy of hearing aids, market penetration would only increase to 34% (11.2 million users) [1].

Combined with the lifespan of 5-8 years, that is a quite small scale for an asic. (Apple will sell 40+ million airpods this year alone).

I remember the first time I tried to use them.

I just wanted to make some small functions for logging different types of things. I wanted to use parametric polymorphism to dispatch to different functions depending on the type of the thing I passed in. I think I ended up creating a few `log_type_foo` and `log_type_bar` functions rather than the single `log` function I wanted. It looked really ugly to my eye.

The thing I really wanted was parametric polymorphism. I seem to remember reading something where the go people think this is equivalent to generics.

> When men on 8chan start buying into racist ideology and feeling like they can only express their distress through anger and violence, it seems inevitable that things like shootings will follow.

I agree, but there is even more to this part. The Nazi ideology was not just about superiority, about also about struggle between races for power and need to win that struggle. You have to fight for your own and prove superiority through military conquest and physical domination of other races.

For that to happen, you need certain kind of fighter. Ruthlessness and nazi really seen ruthlessness as virtue.

Empathetic male eager to share emotions is less likely to gain domination through violence. Or through manipulation, backstabbing, lying and all those things that are seen as practical tactic by white supremacists. Less likely to push knowingly for laws that harm minorities or political opponents. Less likely beat or kill opponent. Less likely to force own friends into compliance with own ideas.

By that I want to say that the aggressive masculinity is virtue and something you want males to be, if you have aggressive goals. Hence peer pressuring males to be like that.

I’ll concede that point in that the very threat of a class action is enough to keep most companies in line. But look at the Experian thing. A lifetime of threat for the people who had data exposed, a payout in the range of cents per person, and then lawyers pocketing millions of dollars. And Experian walks away with essentially no lasting effects. It’s just very frustrating.
