There is no such thing as "passive" observation: something has to change in order for information to become known. Without a transfer of energy, no observation can be made, so either we absorb the particle to register that energy (and then it is literally gone after measurement) or we stimulate the particle into emission (drastically changing its quantum state), or we "poke" the particle by throwing things at it (changing its quantum state in the process).
You're missing the point. Nobody hires a "domestic clickworker". The government doesn't hire clickworkers. Non-profit organizations don't hire click workers. So who is left? For-profit companies.

There are for-profit companies employing click workers and those workers are indeed employees, but if you work on the platforms like mturk directly, you are not an employee and you do not receive a wage. As a result, you get to keep more of the money, not less.

Eh... some of the industry, sure. I work in a B2B company, others work in hardware devices, etc. I'm not sure what the relative proportion might be, but it's certainly not the whole industry.
If the Amazons of the world tried and dropped TLA+, that is signal to people who were on edge of technological adoption. If we received data on its efficacy during its trials, we'd be even more informed, as people are interested in more than the internal consistency of a system.

Didn't the feasibility of fusion increase with advances in magnets. I thought the much stronger magnets being available today allowed for much smaller (volume per watt generated) systems, smaller even than the Iter design.

I find the argument that 5G is at all unsafe on a pole to be a bit silly. I think there are a couple of much more serious issues:

1. Is a millimeter-wave transmitter in a phone safe? The power output is moderately high, and these wavelengths are absorbed near the surface of your skin or your cornea. Cellphones are held near faces all the time. So I’d be much more concerned about using a 5G phone than about living near a 5G tower.

2. The 5G wavelengths May interfere with weather radar. I think that good weather forecasts are generally more important than cat videos.
Competition to cable should improve speed and reduce internet prices.

Right now we only have cable in most of the country, when 5g is out we will have three more last-mike providers: ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile.
Like most people at the time, it was the Not the Nine O'Clock News skit that everyone knew of and were talking about afterwards. I only saw the cringe worthy debate when it was repeated, some time after Mel Smith's far more mature debate. :)

Muggeridge and the bishop sounded incredibly pompous and anachronistic, even in 1979. The Catholic church particularly organised a fabulous publicity campaign for the Pythons. Every few days yet another fossilised Arch something-or-other relic turned up in the news to complain of a film they hadn't even watched.

I thought Meaning of Life carefully directed at ridiculous Papal edicts and Catholic dogma, vs equally ridiculous CofE flavoured Protestantism, rather than anything against Christianity itself. It was wildly heretical - against the church, but not blasphemous. And had the Galaxy Song, so should have been far more successful than it was. :)

>If I get blocked by FB/Twitter/[any site/network] have my "human rights" been taken away?

That's not what "Internet as a human right" means though. It doesn't govern what private companies do. Facebook banning you from their site is not a violation of your human rights. Syria shutting down Internet access nationwide to keep protestors from communicating is a violation of human rights.

>That is different from forcing the government to give everyone a network connected computer

No one has ever conflated "Internet as a human right" with "governments must give everyone a free computer". Just like "the right to work" as a human right doesn't mean the government has to give you a job. They just can't prevent you from accessing your job, and they can't prevent you from access the Internet.
Wow, that is a depressing reimagining. Perhaps focus on some nice things instead of being 'palled' at things. The word is 'apalled', and stop being so snooty. You dont appear better by waving your store bought virtue flag, you just come off as an arrogant hipster.
I agree with your assessment of Uber, and the manner in which its massive funding deters possibly-better competition.

But your inter-generational theory has a major contradiction. You're asserting that each generation of ambitious workers takes ownership of the capital of previous generations, and that this same capital is inherited by incompetent heirs. They can't both be true.
Presumably, that all-powerful creator judges not just the individual but entire societies by their actions, so by allowing such films to be made the religious might become guilty by association.

I’ve had three good LTRs off Tinder. Didn’t use it for hook ups.

Not sure my experience of offline versus online was that radically different, TBH. After relationships would end, I tended to take time off. Then I would get to thinking it’d be nice to start dating again. A mix of online and offline, but online always let me meet people I never would’ve encountered organically. Current partner of 4 years lived an hour away. We never would’ve met. We had a “love at first sight” connection right off the bat.

Dating is hard if you take it seriously. Dating is also hard if you can only succeed online or offline but try both. I think the sweet spot is an attitude and approach that works across both modalities. Everything else is just weighing too heavily in one direction or the other.
The most important information in this piece is the FCC making rules favoring the very telecoms they are supposed to be regulating. Not that anyone familiar with this administration (or that scumbag Pai) is surprised.
Semantically, a one-dimensional list/array of “things” can be trivially transposed into a series of lines with a linebreak separator, but I don’t think the same holds true for a “list of lists” (2-dimensional data) or a “list of lists of lists” (3D data) etc. At least without a standard begin-end list delimiter that allows nesting.

Just thinking about a way that perhaps an old tool can be “wrapped” to be tricked into working with 2+-dimensional data by somehow divvying up the 2+ dimension input data into concurrent 1-dimensional streams, but this seems to require a way to represent more than 1 dimension of data without breaking existing utilities (unless there was, like, a wrapper/unwrapper layer that handled this...)
There will always be a bias in any recommendation, no matter the agenda.

Someone who owns a Tesla and likes the experience , will most likely recommend it and can point point them to Tesla referral program (not sure if they still have it) - they will earn more than most of Amazon Referral fees, and it's most likely and honest recommendation. Though definitely biased.

Your only protection is to be aware of bias and do your own research if you are inclined to buy something recommended.

Or not, because that's why we turn to experts/influencers (no matter if it's a friend/family member/blogger/vlogger) in some matters you're not comfortable with or you don't care enough/don't want to put the time to research.

So yeah, I wish I had a fee for every sales made from friends/family/internet strangers that asked for my recommendation.

It's not surprising that they prioritize higher margin housing, since 'luxury' apartments are barely any different than affordable housing units. It doesn't cost a developer that much extra for them to dress up a basic apartment as luxury with a stainless steel fridge and granite counter top when they're doing it in bulk.
People desire to be secure in their home and property. Living in someone elses house, like renting, erodes at that.
And Buddha was a prince.

That makes Buddhism a religion of the wealthy if a religion at all. Where the wealthy preach simplicity. An irony.

I will grant you that it may take subsidies and artificially low loans to incentivize developers to build low-income housing. But in many places that already exists. The real issue is there is no land to build, and the permitting process takes forever and ultimately results in a negative outcome more often than not.

Here is an article about a developer who tried to build a low income apartment building in SF, and the absolutely insane roadblocks the city put in his way https://reason.com/video/san-francisco-mission-housing-crisi...
The article mentions in passing that some councils in the UK banned the film:

> In Britain, opposition wasn’t as fierce, but there was plenty of it. Some local councils banned the film, a measure which did it no harm at all: people would simply flock to the nearest city where it was showing.

This is a bit confusing but we have the BBFC who gave the film an AA (14 or over) age rating when it was released in cinemas, and then mostly 15s for the home releases, and most recently a 12A.

On top of the BBFC we have local councils who licence venues for entertainment, and some of those councils banned cinemas from showing the film.

Some of those bans were pretty long. I think Glasgow had a 30 year ban.

It's not a good situation.
The information is in the original New York Times story.

"Ms. Worden [the 'estranged spouse'] put her intelligence background to work, asking her bank about the locations of computers that had recently accessed her bank account using her login credentials.

iirc THC was being used by a number of people affected, but they haven't yet gone as far as saying that "almost all these cases of vaping related hospitalizations are from vaping THC".
It’s short anyway. Imagine the amount of time before your birth and after your death. In two-three generations no one will remember you. Maybe they will remember your name (if you do something important), but they will not remember you. Whatever you think is important, it is not much more important than doing dishes, cooking, gardening... it’s all irrelevant.
Legacy banking companies have very strict change management systems. These systems usually require many physical eyes on each change. This magnifests into a fear of fully automated change management.

"Fusion in a magnetically-shielded-grid inertial electrostatic confinement device"

> Theory for a gridded inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion system is presented that shows a net energy gain is possible if the grid is magnetically shielded from ion impact. A simplified grid geometry is studied, consisting of two negatively-biased coaxial current-carrying rings, oriented such that their opposing magnetic fields produce a spindle cusp. Our analysis indicates that better than break-even performance is possible even in a deuterium-deuterium system at bench-top scales. The proposed device has the unusual property that it can avoid both the cusp losses of traditional magnetic fusion systems and the grid losses of traditional IEC configurations.

Religion is about belief.

Organised religion is about control. Heresy was just as serious as blasphemy - both could get you executed. Can't have people saying anything against the church, they might start to question their tithes.
As historical aside, but possibly relevant, Monty Python was a surrealist reaction to the hopelessness of living in Britain in the 70s. Life was shit, and escapism pretty much a requirement to make it through. It thrived in that ecosystem, and someone would argue we're back in a similar situation today, just under different causes.

>There are some efforts in robotics that would have much better ux if they had faster internet in remote places.

But wait. Doesn't 5g have more limited range than previous wireless generations? It seems existing LTE towers would be a better solution if you just wanted to cover the earth in high speed internet.

"R&D" sounds grandiose but what meaning does it actually have in this context? I think that's the bet on autonomous cars? Problem is, they won't be the only one to have them, and not even among the first and best ones it seems. Nor is it clear how anything but complete autonomy could solve their problems. Actually, not even if that actually worked it's clear why Uber's Über-ambitious plans would work out. As far as I can tell that "R&D" money is just wasted - but I'm mainly saying this in order to hear counter-arguments, not because I know (I don't really)...
It really does depend whose intellect is being satisfied.

Curious, indeed.
It comes as no surprise that the author of one of the least subtle allegorical strawman attacks on scientific institutions in literary history- That Hideous Strength - can see a stunning feat of engineering and human will only as an attack on the mystery and romance of the natural world.

To explore and understand our universe cannot diminish it- it only enriches our ability to appreciate it. I for one hope the future will regard Clive Staples Lewis as a dogmatic, small-minded fool.

Everyone has different criteria for what a new and improved OS needs. Some say make it safer. Some say it must be much simpler. Others say why is it so inefficient, make it faster and focus on mixed level languages. Nobody can agree and nobody needs any of these badly enough to effect a real change. So we have these brainstorms every year and the work that comes from them never gets far.
My take is that religious people protest in this way go show their membership in and loyalty to their tribe. It’s for this reason that Jehovah’s Witnesses preach on the street corner as well.

They know they won’t change anyone’s mind. But the action of standing up for their beliefs makes them feel like part of something. Part of their tribe.
There's a very toxic part of our society who wants to control what millions other people do, "for their own good." This type of article is a dog whistle to those type of people.
Imagine you are the leader of a country with a large military budget, strong central control over domestic media and policy, but little influence over global technical standards or device manufacturing.

Game theoretically, it would seem that a tempting strategy would be to spend money on influencing the debate in other countries to make them mistrustful of new technology, to slow their economy and relative growth. If the influence campaign isn't completely successful, then you get the additional benefit of having the populace divided amongst itself, and not trusting its own institutions, which further weakens their ability to work together and project power internationally.

Surprisingly, this strategy also works against old technology too. Imagine if you wanted to cause health crises in other countries by convincing enough of the population to be afraid of vaccines that herd immunity is lost. I know this sounds like its own conspiracy theory, but it would explain a lot about some of the weird fringe views that seem to be popular on the internet right now.

I can't make it through this article. I know what the point is supposed to to be, but it probably will fall on deaf ears. The prejudice against the homeless runs too deep, the desire to justify that prejudice and insist it isn't merely shitty behavior deeper still.

I am probably two or three generations removed from low level German nobility. I was one of the top students of my graduating high school class. I won (and turned down) a National Merit Scholarship to one of the top two universities in my state.

My father retired from the military as an E-8, a fairly high rank. I was a military wife for about two decades. The ex also retired as an E-8.

I got divorced and got a corporate job at a Fortune 500 company, the biggest non military employer in my home town at the time. While I had that job, I would make small talk at eateries or the like and people would ooh and aah that I worked at Aflac, having no idea what I did. I had an entry level job I couldn't get promoted out of, but locals acted like I was clearly part or the privileged few to work there at all.

Then I quit to go live in a tent for health reasons. That long personal history of always being respected and accomplished and one of the privileged few in whatever circles I ran in was no protection from the prejudice against the homeless. It did seemingly nothing to get me taken seriously, respected or result in real help to resolve my problems.

I'm not sure it makes any difference for me to leave this remark. HN is a bastion of goodness compared to everything else, yet still is part of the problem. It seems to mostly just harm my reputation to talk about homelessness, not convince other people that there are systemic issues grinding people beneath its boot.

The only winning move is to not get ground under that boot. After it has marked you, the entire world will heap abuse upon you, deny you real help and tell you, clearly, you are a junkie or crazy.

I'm quite tired of the entire thing. I increasingly want desperately to just be free of this shit and maybe that means I should just care less about injustice in the world and worry more about covering my own ass. "The World" certainly doesn't give a rat's ass about me or remedying any of the actual injustice in my life.

I increasingly hate articles like this. They do an even suckier job than I do of making that point and often just give ammunition to the people of the world who want to blame those whose lives don't work. ("Maybe she shouldn't have had six kids!!" Etc ad nauseum.)
That still limits us too much due to the rather severely limited available data types (although arbitrary types could be serialized into binary/string data, I guess...)
I've worked in both a big IT orgs and consulting and the Ivory Tower Architecture people are 10X more prevalent in IT orgs. They're the ones who establish architecture review boards and request extensive documentation and rounds of approval before allowing a project to proceed. On the consulting side, we typically define an approach which might as simple as saying "We're going to write microservices, mostly in Python and our main data store will be Redis until we pick something better" and then start iterating.
