I wonder whether a standardized product container could gain market share. One option, make containers that consumers can purchase and then refill with standard disbursement containers at stores. Maybe the disbursement container would label the container with the usual store label. Another would be to strictly enforce containment options for different form factors ala the other comments here.

> contaminated swabs for taking DNA samples.

Not only contaminated, the swaps weren't even rated for lab use. They spend years looking for a phantom serial killer active in half the country because several police labs were cutting costs. The mysterious killer was working in a swab factory.

> There's also evidence that both DNA and fingerprint attribution is not trustworthy (from a strictly scientific perspective).

Isn't the issue that they use so few markers that you would be guaranteed collisions the moment you tried to build a large scale biometric database?

What is AI Platform and how it works?
Ah, the ever present fear of non-ionizing radiation.

What appears to have happened is the Chicago Tribune decided to not follow the test definition in order to make the testing more accurate, but not adjust the limit accordingly. They don’t have the authority to change the test procedure or the limit so it doesn’t matter. By inverse square law the limit can be extrapolated to more realistic distances. However the FCC cellphone exposure limit is laughably low compared to when non-ionizing radiation has been shown to cause health effects [1]. Is it reasonable to make legislation around an extrapolation of a fear that is not based on any scientific model?

It’s always nice to see reporters go the extra mile to stoke public fears of the boogeyman.

Even if that is true, so? Who are we to make judgments for other people, or who are we to deprive them of the opportunity to make their own judgments? I know, YouTube can do as it pleases and they do not need to provide a reason either, but these answers make me think that they justify censorship as long as it is something "I believe is propaganda" or "I do not like" and the like.

"The cost of training the model from scratch using our code is about $50k."

Still a substantially steep curve for a bootstrapping startup. It's something I continually run into myself. I have somewhat of a weekend project trying to build a search engine but man ... the cost of just the SSDs and GPUs is daunting on a regular salary. As the complexity of these models grows, so does the barrier to entry for a regular joe like me; which is a shame I think. I know in the US it's fairly normal for a data scientist to pull 100k+ / year, but in the Netherlands salaries pretty much stall at 40k (and angel investment in IT/AI is at an all time low). More generally I fear this will become a bit of a sociotechnical issue if complex AI models will be out of reach for entire economies (especially for cases like language because not everyone speaks English and "minor" languages like those in EU countries are a massive market to explore, yet hard to get into).

Depends on how they advertise that lock imo.

If a locks manufacturer market a lock to be secure giving it a 8 out of 10 rating but that lock could be decoded without any tools in a very short period of time then I believe that the manufacturer should bear some responsibility.

But then again Master Lock still exist lol... Take the 174SSD for example. Master Lock list it for $38 so not a bargain basement lock. They say it’s “best for“ For: Residential Gates & Fences, Sheds, Workshops, Garages, Storage Lockers, Tool Chests, Tool Boxes[0], the packaging boasts about its security[1] and yet it can be quickly decoded without tools[2].

Now I’m sure the people on this site are aware of the quality of Master Lock but is your avg Joe walking into the hardware store? IMO there is a point where your performance can’t back up your marketing you become libel.

But in Tesla’s case I don’t think they market the security of their keyless entry/start. I would say they are aware of the security risks of the tech and is why they released an OTA update that enables the need of a passcode to start the car. The question for me then becomes, If Tesla we’re aware of this risk and added a protection against it but didn’t advise customers of the risks of keyless entry/start and the protections against it enough could they have at least a little liability? OTA Cuts both ways, Yes it allows for easy updating in the field, but it also provides a direct communication point with your customer to be able to advise them of "such new information".

EDIT: Cleared up some spelling (fucking auto correct). But I would also like to make it clear that I wouldn't expect a lock manufacturer to always be responsible for the items the lock is "protecting". For an example: You put a high security lock of your front door to protect your home, A burglar cases your joint and instead of picking the lock which will take too much time they break a window and enter your home though that instead. The lock did its job so I couldn't hold the manufacturer responsible at all.

My gripe is when weak locks, or locks with known defects are being sold to the general public as "secure". If a car manufacturer said their car was safe in a crash, giving themselves a high safety score but it found out that "safe" meant that it was only deemed safe under lab conditions were the impact was at exactly 55mph but in the real world a defect meant it was hit and miss that the airbags would actually deploy in the event of a collision people would be up in arms about it, lawsuits filed, recalls issued, etc.

I don't expect any lock to be 100% secure (nor any car 100% safe in a collision) but when the marketing team for a manufacturer take it on themselves to talk up the security then I don't think its wrong to expect that manufacturer to held to account when their claims don't hold up.

Importantly, the only model that shows health effects from non-ionizing radiation is from heating. When we start hearing reports of users being burned by their battery operated devices, then we should sit up in our seats. Until then, it’s fear-mongering for clicks.

> To reduce exposure, Apple suggests using “a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or other similar accessories.”

Wouldn't a hands-free option increase the exposure, since it means the phone doesn't even have to be taken out of the pocket?

> Almost all smartphones, he said, have power sensors — also known as proximity sensors — designed to detect when the device is touching or extremely close to a person. When that occurs, the phone is supposed to reduce power, decreasing radiofrequency radiation.

That's the first I heard of that. I thought the proximity sensor was only to power off and lock the screen when the phone is held to the ear, to prevent the ear touching the screen from pressing on-screen buttons - which is why, on all phones I've seen, the proximity sensor is right next to the speaker.
Replying to all replies,

> Maybe [edibility] depends on the variety? / Isn't raw quince hard as a rock?

quite likely. The beautiful ornamental quince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaenomeles_japonica is technically edible but hard and sour. You can see the fruits in the middle photo of the link - yellow, size of a large plum, and smell just amazing; really, if you ever get a chance to smell the ripe fruit, do. I understand they can be cooked to make them palatable.

> It's really bitter by fruit standards, more so than cooking apples.

Not bitter but sour (acidic). Anyway, happens I tried a cooking apple recently, am sure they're much less sour than when I was a kid. Anyway, compared to ornamental quince above, the ones you get in middle-eastern shops in london are much larger. Some examples, but not the right colour, can be seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quince and are perfectly edible raw and unsugared (edit: size is larger, about the size of a large cooking apple but shaped like a ruby ball)
Yup. The article mentions that and also that news sites are among the worst offenders.
> the fediverse NOW exists!

The fediverse is interesting but it's not the only approach.

XMPP is similar to ActivityPub/ActivityStreams but has more explicit specifications, good reference implementations, and the community has gained lots of experience in running federated systems over the years. Also, XMPP works on different transports (TCP, HTTP..) while ActivityPub is constrained to the web.

The Indieweb takes an interesting low-tech approach to web federation, by using standard web primitives (semantic microformats2 classes and POST requests) so that every body can federate their "dumbest" blogs without having to implement a whole complex dynamic social network.

ActivityPub tries to play on the two fields and therefore facing many challenges to come. Namespaced JSON (JSON-LD) could help it grow as a federation, but the specifications are not always very precise (though they keep getting better) and the fediverse community is constantly reinventing the wheel that email/XMPP folks have perfected over the years.

The two main problems with the Fediverse at the moment in my view:

- no proper decoupling of identity/service providers so you have to create many accounts on many services (Mastodon, Peertube, Plume..) where Indieweb uses the `rel=me` and `IndieAuth` protocols to avoid running many profiles, and XMPP has XEP-0070 for 3rd-party HTTP auth (i.e. authenticating XMPP users from your website)

- most implementations rely on client-side DOM generation (i.e. Javascript that outputs HTML), which is far from efficient (running the same calculations many times over every client) or accessible ; Indieweb federation is based on web primitives and plays well with any browser

These problems can of course be addressed, but they have already been in the Indieweb/XMPP communities for some time. If you want to get a grasp of what people build on top of XMPP nowadays:

And the phone-makers defense was that the phones were not tested the same way they test in their lab in order to produce a result that meets the standard.

This smacks of the same real-world failure that brought down Volkswagen. If you don't hold the phone in just the right way to activate the proximity sensor it exceeds the safe limit.
> It's not a rank, it's a (bad) efficiency metric, which says that Ukrainian and Kazakhstan HC is "more efficient" than Russian, and that Chilean HC is "more efficient" than that of Denmark.

They are, according to the World health Organization.

Ukrainian healthcare system is more efficient than Russian because you don't have remote regions that have very little or no chances of being reached in case of emergency.

Chile and Denmark are basically at the same level, it shouldn't be a surprise that many South American countries rank at the same level of some western countries.

If you look at the ranking created by other entities, it's more or less the same, even though they used different metrics.

You will always find mostly European countries in the top 20s.

Italy and France really are among the best in the World when it's about healthcare.

USA really is shitty, even though they have the highest spending per capita.

They're probably investigating all court cases that had phone evidence submitted, even if it wasn't crucial to the case or even used or which side used it. It might be that most of these are simply normal court cases where someone texted someone else or made a phone call, either proving their innocence or not.

>In what way is this bigger than the production of the many components needed in a gasoline car? Internal combustion engine (as an example) is not exactly CO2 natural to manufacture either.

He literally said "for the production of the battery". Don't build a strawman. It's pretty well accepted that batteries are environmentally dirty to make.

An ICE drivetrain and electric drivetrain sans motor are both big lumps of metal. I'm not sure what the difference is between the carbon footprint per pound of copper vs steel (both cars are gonna have a lot of aluminum but I'm assuming they're within an order of magnitude of even). In either case the manufacturing carbon footprint it pennies compared to the energy required to move the damn thing its whole life (except in the obvious case of the electric an in an area where electricity is low/zero cabon).

I suspect the EV is going to be just barely more carbon heavy to manufacture simply because tech is at a point where the EV needs to place a much higher priority on weight (because it has the heavy battery to compensate for by being light everywhere else and reducing weight increases range) and that priority will result in different part choices throughout the car and that is where the extra carbon will come from (e.g. forged aluminum control arms and rims vs stamped steel).

Obviously the EV is far superior to the ICE vehicle in operation so it would make that back quickly.

While composting has a lot of benefits, I would be very sad to attend a friend's burial if they were to be composted. Feels like a disrespectful way to let someone go.

I'm also concerned about disease transmission. Cows' diseases may not necessarily affect us but humans' certainly will. The need to disinfect kinda defeats the purpose (pollution with chemicals)

Hope about we just compost other things and let human bodies be
I have a beef with this. OpenAI is run by people who believe and spread horror stories about how AI can totally change society, for better or worse.

A lot of what AI can and cannot do depends on cost and computational power as much as anything else. If I understand correctly, there's a whole bunch of "you could but it's prohibitively expensive" stuff going around.

I'm convinced that the people behind OpenAI understand this nuance, even if most non geeks struggle with the difference between possible and feasible. This means that OpenAI mixed the two up on purpose.

If the people warning us of the robot apocalypse can't be trusted to communicate openly and honestly about odds, then what do we do? They clearly have no qualms about misinforming the public to serve a hidden agenda. It might be pretty harmless in this case, but it's indicative of a cultural pattern.

Basically I just hope (and kind of believe) that we'll never achieve AGI because that would make all this talk unimportant.

Is the current scenario possible: company A owns 10% of company B, and company B owns 10% of company A.
Does that mean getting the valuation of both companies require solving algebra?
Or is this outright prevented by other methods, like the board of A owns most of A and 10% of B?

You can input a letter in a number input (e), however the interesting part is how Chromium defines the input’s value IDL attribute. Chromium evaluates the user-inputted string to either a floating point number or an empty string, which can cause state problems when the user inputs an incomplete number with an exponent (2e).

This leads to many developers believing there’s a bug in the framework/browser they’re using, when in reality it’s the result of a less-than-ideal HTML spec.

There was a great article on nrk.no about how people are still not decomposed in their graves after 70 years: https://www.nrk.no/viten/xl/plassmangel-og-blaleire-gir-stor...

One example is clay. Burying in clay rich ground will slow decay because it limits the flow of air.

Another example is from the late 1950s where people would be buried in plastic wrap, to make the burial process more sanitary. They did this for 15-20 years. None of those bodies have decomposed much, but worse is that all the liquids are trapped inside the plastic :|

In the US, a marmalade is a preserve that specifically includes the shredded peel of the fruit, almost always a citrus fruit. [Sweet] orange is most popular, but lemon, lime, grapefruit and mixes are usually available -- and also imported Seville marmalades from England and Scotland.

I'm quite fond of a cherry-orange marmalade from Florida.

There are regional differences in usage, but generally a jelly is made from fruit juices, a jam contains chunks of fruit, and a preserve might be any of those things or contain whole or nearly-whole fruits.
