I was once hounded by reporters and criticized for not being up-to-date on the news. At the time, I lived down a small, back-alley road. There were only a couple houses along it. Apparently, several weeks prior, there was a major hit-and-run collision a mile down the main road where a man in a truck struck a motorcycle. The rider and passenger of the motorcycle were father and son. Neither survived. It was a sad story.

I didn't know about this event until news reporters came flocking down our small gravel street. For several days they were asking for interviews of anyone who lived down the road. Every single one of them was perplexed by my not knowing anything about the story, which was apparently "all over the news". Furthermore, they couldn't understand why I wouldn't give a statement after finding out the truck driver was one of my neighbors. A man I had never met before, or even seen. I informed them I had never met him, wasn't aware of the situation so I couldn't speak to it, and would go on assuming any other neighbor of mine is innocent and minding their own business. They could go about thinking every one of their neighbors is responsible for every recent murder and see how it goes for them.

I know that kind of constant reporting has been commonplace for a long time, but I wish there was a better way to show others that you don't need to read every news article or event to understand what is happening around you. I don't need fear to drive my instinct of what can kill me. I'm a rider as well and chose to join the community ride for the father and son. That seemed like a much better way to show support with other people that lived around me.
It's put me in the habit of being intensely suspicious of anything that makes me feel too good about myself or too outraged towards someone else.
Is the problem that there's no point or that you're being flippant, dismissive, and too lazy to see the point? Have you even taken a look through the code?

Let me just say this. Although not a complete restructuring, it's a TON more readable than a bog-standard decompilation of the ROM. This is something you'd know if you spent 10 minutes reading it.
Unless it's on twitter, it's still either a "pound" or "octothorp" to me, depending on context. Hash is a breakfast food.
How does the prescription rate in the US compare to other countries? When growing up in Germany i never heard of opioids being prescribed besides maybe cancer patients. But in the US I was always given plenty of opioids for even pretty small problems. A while ago I had to get really serious with my girlfriend after only two weeks of them because she already couldn’t handle the withdrawal.
> Unfortunately, the Cambridge Analytica/Facebook scandal also has renewed a very old and disabling fable embraced by many well-meaning people on the left, which is that Americans (and others overseas) keep voting for right-wing authoritarians because they are being manipulated by the media.

This sets the precedent of the entire article, and avoids mentioning the circumstances around the Bush Al Gore election of 2000.

And unfortunately, it also ends with such polarizing words:

> The Great Hack wants to make its viewers care about data rights and the dangers of modern misinformation campaigns but unfortunately is itself a slick piece of misinformation that plays artfully on the prejudices and misunderstandings rife in its targeted audience. If the weaponization of misinformation was such a powerful tool for changing hearts and minds, why did the left win recent elections in Mexico and Istanbul? Why did Democrats retake the House in 2018? We aren’t losing the war for the future because of some new media masterminds. If we’re losing, it’s because our message—and messengers—aren’t connecting.

Because 'the left' isn't excluded in social media manipulation. The narrative that 'the left' (whatever that exactly is) is somehow crying wolf is quite clear, and also tells the observer who this article is trying to convince (hint: those who got manipulated)

> The film gives an inordinate amount of attention to Brittany Kaiser, a Democrat who worked for CA’s US branch as its business development director and then—after the revelations of the Facebook breach—apparently had an attack of conscience.

They're omitting the data scientist who started whistleblowing. The very same data scientist who said in a Tweet which is quoted, that Kaiser was no whistleblower.

Does Kaiser get a lot of attention in this documentary? Yes. Is it unwarranted? I don't know. Is it all positive, is she put in a positive light alone? No way. If you watch the documentary carefully, you can find examples where she is being criticized. The description of events of her 180 u-turn is not pleading her free at all.

> According to her, until CA started working for Trump in June 2016, his campaign had no data infrastructure or digital marketing apparatus and no digital strategy. The implication, never blatantly stated but simply conveyed by all the tricks of modern documentary-making—striking digital graphics meant to illustrate how our data leaks into the hands of others, ominous music, and alluring close-ups of Kaiser as she watches the scandal unfold on television—is that Trump won because Cambridge Analytica gave him a secret edge.

> All of this is garbage. Kaiser first worked in politics as an intern on the 2008 Barack Obama campaign, helping its social media team, but The Great Hack implies that she ran his whole Facebook operation.

Classic straw man, keywords being: implication, implies.

The amount of people who had to be manipulated were carefully chosen, and had to be very little amount in US thanks to the way the election system works (with the districts).
I was wondering how it would compare to the code produced by auto-vectorization, I guess it doesn't matter with hand-crafted assembly.
You always sue for more than you think you deserve to win, that's just how that works. Why lowball yourself?

The real indicator is share-price being up 2% after the ruling. The investors think J&J got off easy.
Electronic voting should be used to forecast votes and offer confirmation/more data points, and nothing more. It's just too hard to secure currently, and the influence problems (lack of anonymity, possibility of election tampering) isn't worth the risk currently.

Electronic voting could also be used simply as a way to save and fast-track the voting process, making it more convenient. Confirm your votes on the app, get to upload them in-bulk to the machine (via QR code or something), and all you have to do is confirm. Lots more time to think about the vote, but you still have t confirm in person.

Longer, more casual access to voting booths and mandatory paid time off is the best thing most democratic/semi-democratic systems could do to help voting these days.
Engineers and scientists predict the future all day, and if our physical world is any indication, it’s working. You can’t so easily say “you can’t predict the future”

Such an attitude makes us incapable of acting in the face of negative trends. For example, over a million species face risk of extinction right now. Do we have to wait until they are gone before we report on it and act?

A lot of great ideas here.

One specific tool I've used is to frame comments in terms of "My impression is ..." or "I've heard that ...", this makes the conversation less of a personal battle, so much as sharing observations about the world and inviting the other person to stand next to you and look out at the world with you and share their different observation and you can compare and contrast together.
Intelligent design is neither.
Those in a position of relative power (e.g. airline employees) are not allowed to ask "what disease do you have that merits this animal?" but they are allowed to ask "what services does this animal provide?" There is a clear and obvious distinction between those questions, and the answer to the second question will clearly identify those who require exceedingly well-trained and expensive service animals. People who want to carry their dogs onboard without paying a fee are less likely to have an answer.
This is not a new idea or concept. Let us not forget the Allegory of the Cave. Plato Was discussing this same issue long ago.

FSD will hold up with physical DVDs in American court, even if the vendor says they only sold you a non-resellable license to view the DVD.

Right, because that's literally how the FSD was written. The sale of a DVD of "X" necessarily includes a license to view "X". The license is subordinate to the DVD (beause it is necessary for use of the purchased good), and because the FSD applies to the DVD, it also necessarily applies to the subordinate license.

if you buy 1M old DVD with license to not resell that you and vendor have physically signed, your FSD is less likely to hold up than if you bought one DVD at Walmart with an EULA.

No, the FSD still applies. You've just described Redbox, which actually fought and won this battle (about reselling used DVDs). It would be different if you bought a DVD that included a license for an online streaming version of the movie that couldn't be resold. Redbox fought and lost this battle against Disney. In a nutshell: Redbox can do whatever it wants with the physical copy of the movie, but the FSD doesn't apply to the streaming license that was bundled with the DVD and so they couldn't sell those separately from the DVDs themselves.
The real problem isn't in the manufacture of opioid pills, it is in false advertising around them.

In particular don't advertise as 2x a day with the advice to increase the prescription if there are withdrawal effects, when the correct prescription is to go to 3x a day and do not increase the dosage. The false advertising is a recipe to increase sales but create a serious drug addiction that will need to be supplemented somehow.

Look into the Esperanto chips. They will actually over quite high performance soft cores, competing with high level arm.
Agreed. The fried thigh meat here in the fancy-recreations-of-blue-collar NYC restaurants is delicious, decadent even. I wonder how long until folks catch on.

> Each of the 42 sites be able to charge two cars concurrently and will enable the typical EV available in Australia to charge 100 kilometres within 15 minutes using Tritium chargers

Went to a gas station yesterday that had 12 concurrent "chargers" and filled up 800 km in 5 minutes. Way more convenient.
Good. Just look at the volume of pills prescribed and you can see that overprescription is at the root of the problem.

Plenty of national symbols are products of the industrial age. England and ale that doesn't taste sour comes to mind as another example. Or, hey, the USA and cars.
This was our lowest level of state court. I don't think it even counts as precedent in other courts in Oklahoma, though it can probably be viewed as persuasive. This ruling has no bearing in other states.

It does give a good roadmap for how to sue and win against J&J though.

EDIT: There might be a way to use this case as a basis for collateral estoppel, meaning that J&J would have a harder time disputing the liability (since they were decided to be liable in this case) but I'm not sure if that applies across state lines.
Unless you're grating it from a block every time you use it --- which, yes, is what you should do --- you probably shouldn't worry too much about which anti-caking agents are being used.
Some of the panic and mainstream speculation was ridiculous (airplanes falling out of the sky, etc.), but yes, a ton of work went into fixing the various y2k bugs in a large percentage of the world's software, which is why the event passed so smoothly. We can only hope that a similar mobilization results in people of the future opining on how climate change wasn't such a big deal after all, but given the current trends* I'm not betting on it.

*Despite Crichton's assertions, we do know some things about the future. The sun will come up tomorrow; soon it will be autumn and then winter (at least here in the northern hemisphere), and given the current atmospheric level of greenhouse gasses and the amounts being emitted, the earth will continue to warm beyond the current level. We can in fact very accurately model the amount of warming over the long term, although of course we can not precisely predict the day to day or even year to year changes, as there are a number of other factors that add randomness to the result over the short and medium term. To use an analogy, if I plug my bathtub drains and turn on the faucet, I can predict that absent some intervention there will be mopping in my future.
Guy who literally made his career on fear mongering in fiction and speculation gets mad if other fields do it. No self reflected irony at all there. I have a hard time reading this as anything other than a continuation. He has a habit of not seeing the forest through the trees. Instead of focusing on the fact that human caused extinctions have created a literal new age of extinction, he focuses on a specific point because his goal is to discredit science. It's why so many of his books focus on scientists being arrogant egotists. In fairness he wrote this before it became a political taking point, but his type of rhetoric directly lead to the political environment we have now. He's an example of everything he claims is wrong. He demonizes sources with proven track records and he doesn't understand. Why should we take his opinion seriously?
Most projects don't need either.

I only use pipenv on a work project with a hundred dependencies, and venv on one other large side project. Everything else is installed with --user, especially dev tools like black and pyflakes. The user folder gets cleaned up every few years when you upgrade to a new version of python (rm ~/.local/lib/python3.5).

Has worked fine for a decade or two, no conflicts. I think some folks get spooked at python packaging and overcompensate in response, but it's pretty easy to troubleshoot when you've learned how it works.
And their stock is up in after hours... Doesn't seem to be much of a victory considering a bigger fine was already priced in.
>What's funny to me though is that they consider this cost prohibitive despite the expected theoretically longer life without replacement or maintenance.

Time value of money plays a big part here. The extra cost is now, the maintenance costs are paid later. Costs paid immediately are significantly more expensive than costs paid a long time from now.
I must admit I bought a F-91W just because it's the terrorist watch, but after wearing it a few times got sold and haven't taken it off.

That's a Windows limitation. X64 chips are plenty capable of running 16-bit protected mode code while the OS runs in long mode. It's that Windows didn't want to deal with translating HANDLEs back and forth between the two modes.
It’s hard to believe how despite all the telemetry, Microsoft still manages to be so out of touch with their users’ actual needs. It’s almost like there’s a hidden agenda somewhere.
Usually if a defendant loses but the damage award is a tenth or less of the ask, the defendant considers it something of a win. A couple times I've seen defendants who were sued for, say, $60M, get hit for $6M, and call it a good outcome. The calculus might be different at this scale, but probably not by much. The significance of this verdict has more to do with it being a bellwether trial with an encouraging outcome for the plaintiffs. Then again, it was a bench trial, where you usually expect verdicts to be smaller than with juries.
I use my smartwatch(A fitbit versa) to tell me my heart's rough bpm, steps I walked, notifications from my phone, time and as a stopwatch. I could certainly take out my already 'obsolete' smartphone, but the wristwatch is a more convenient form.

That's it.

All I wanted is e-ink for longer battery life so that I can charge less, and bluetooth that actually fucking work.

I wasted so much time trying to troubleshoot bluetooth issues to sometime to no avail.
I've seen many times that doctors in the US are all too happy to prescribe medication to deal with pain but give exceedingly little instruction or support for how to go off these addictive medications.

As someone very much in the YIMBY camp, I'd love for housing to be kind of 'boring' and 'steady'. I mean, it'd be good if prices in some places (the bay area) dropped a lot, but by and large it'd be nice if they became fairly steady and predictable so that people could move around without playing the 'but what will it be worth tomorrow?' game.

Hope you get some certainty for your own situation soon.
This is "no one goes there anymore because it's so crowded" argument.

Solar is big business and will become even bigger (because the economics are great and becoming even better).

Commodity or not, some company will make good money there. That company could be Tesla.

As to blanket "commodity" argument: McDonald sells hamburgers, Coca-Cola sells flavored water in a glass bottle and StarBucks sells coffee in a plastic cup. There's money to be made in commodity businesses if you are big enough, have the economies of scale and the leading brand.

It's impossible to avoid the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect across all possible topics - at some point we will defer to a perceived expert, since we simply don't have the time or energy to vet everything ourselves, and that's totally ok and normal.

However, when we open our mouths about something to other people, we better have put in that due diligence, or we'll propagate that misinformation.

I've been working in tech for a long time, and have several areas of expertise; distributed systems, realtime systems, visual simulation, etc, and I've also been studying economics for a long time. My bullshit detector goes off frequently, but much more so when reading things about "soft sciences", like economics, where there is much more room for opinion. In areas where you can run repeatable experiments, you prove your statements that way, but when no proof is possible, and all evidence is observational, the BS spews much more freely.
So like 4 zillion will be more than 5 zillion (assuming talking about unsigned 32 bit)?

Restricting the supply when you have a population of addicts just leads to what the GP talked about - turning to less pure, more dangerous alternatives on the street.

I have no love of doctors handing out oxycodone like candy, but we're in serious danger of swinging the pendulum back the other way.

I believe we should legalize these drugs, but require their usage to occur under medical supervision, given the risk of respiratory depression. This simultaneously solves the "dirty needle" problem and helps the "city streets full of drug addicts" problem.

The only drug I support making illegal for recreational consumption is fentanyl (and others like it) - but frankly even that is probably unnecessary because the rise of fentanyl has happened _because_ of the war on drugs [1].

[1] I have no citation here. I'll note that as someone who has never tried fentanyl (besides being given it by a doctor as part of a cocktail to put me under as many people have experienced), it's said to not have much recreational value, so take that for what little it's worth. Rather, it is commonly added to other drugs like heroin and pressed alprazolam primarily because high potency drugs are easier to smuggle than low potency drugs. For example, a gram of LSD is trivial to smuggle and is equivalent to $10,000 hits of LSD, with an end retail value of $100,000 in many markets although naturally not priced that way when sold in bulk], whereas smuggling the equivalent value of weed would mean transporting on the order of 10,000 grams or more.

The documentary, at the end, with the teacher in and students drawing a conclusion makes the point that this isn't just a one company thing. It makes the point that big data companies are the problem. They even quote in an interview the names Google and Facebook.

However, as someone else already replied to you, this API which was used by CA wasn't meant to be used anymore. That's a big difference.
Ideas don't exist in a vacuum; they emerge from concrete relations of production and power. They serve or hinder the interests of people and groups.

'Wiping the slate clean' is a noble path to peace when both sides have done something wrong; it is a far less noble idea when the injustice was severely one-sided, instead it can actually make the injustice worse.

Suppose someone had -unprovoked- attacked you violently and and taken your home and possessions, and then moved his family into what used to be your home. Then suppose his family, still living in that house and intending to continue doing so, suddenly proposed 'wiping the slate clean'. Would you be right in suspecting their proposal of 'wiping the slate clean' to be in this case completely self-serving?
