Jerry Falwell Jr is not a judge. (He's not even a lawyer, so far as I know.)

He's made a claim. That's all it is. Even if he claimed it in a court filing, it's still just a claim.

Also note that, even if his claim is true, it only applies to the one who forwarded it. It doesn't apply to the one forwarded to, such as the media. It also doesn't apply to the media publishing what was forwarded to them.
That's the one. Weighs a chunk (maybe a bit more than a Kryptonite cable lock?), but it's solid and it solves the "lock up my Xiaomi" problem. Super-quick to lock and unlock, too.

I've never understood how we, as a society, accept private prisons.

I've also understood why police hiding behind bridges was considered acceptable.

Or how the hell a debate about waterboarding could ever happen when it's clearly immoral.

At some point in my life I just decided we suck shit as a society and move on.

It's kind of easy for a country to dictate drug prices when they had no hand in developing them. Now show me a country like the US that develops just as many drugs. Ah, you can't, there is none.

This is true but predictable failure modes can be designed around.
Not to mentioned that they could afford to try and fail.

It's been discussed to death, but the sad fact of life is that a lot of elite students from unresourceful simply can't take the chance on playing the startup game. They don't have the money, and can't risk potentially throwing away 5-10 years on a pipe dream (statistically speaking).

Rich kids with money and connections can afford that. They can graduate from HYPS, try to startup route, and if all fails - no worries, they can always go back to the traditional career route, albeit a bit delayed.

Ask a first gen HYPS student from low or lower middle-class what their plans are; Probably not a 12-month "ideating" leisure trip to SV on their family money.
How do you verify it now? I've been using typeguards, but since i haven't found a good way to generate interfaces from typeguard functions or typeguard functions from interfaces I have to do each manually:

interface ContactInfo {
address_1: string;
address_2?: string;
city: string;
state: string;
zip: string;
phone: number;
}
function isContactInfo(arg: any): arg is ContactInfo {
let valid = false;
const contactInfoFields: { readonly [key: string]: string[] } = {
address_1: [ 'string', ],
address_2: [ 'string', 'undefined' ],
city: [ 'string', ],
state: [ 'string', ],
zip: [ 'string', ],
phone: [ 'number' ],
};

if (typeof arg !== 'object') {
return valid;
}
for (const key in contactInfoFields) {
if(!contactInfoFields[key].includes(typeof arg[key]) || arg[key] === '' || Number.isNaN(arg[key])) {
return valid;
}
}
valid = true;
return valid;
}
I wonder if you can raise evidence of unreasonable imprisonment. I completely agree that this can create a feedback loop that would be bad, ideally we should have a much more sophisticated system of rehabilitation. Maybe the problem lies on the state being too incompetent to even set metrics for third parties.
yeah, weird. Apple 2D shows completed pool, 3D shows backyard before the pool was started. Must be construction or something.

Can AI Art Authentication Put an End to Art Forgery?
This is not about being a Vulkan fan.
Not even about portability.

The real issue is the one no one talk about.
Webgpu is the intersection of features from Vulkan, directX 12 and metal.
Which means that webGPU is a subset of Vulkan, metal and DX, by design it is less powerful than metal, less powerful than DX and less powerful than metal.
By being an intersection, by design they've created a sub-par, non evolutive api.
As a consequence, performance reachable on desktop, and expressivity of possible software and graphical features will be inferior on the web which is deeply sad

Nobody understanding and stating that is another sad thing.

Traditional academic publishing fails Scalzi's corollary to Yog's law as well: the academic publishers take everyone else's work and lock it away. The academics, their university, external funders and the editors and reviewers all have to pay [1] to produce the work and then pay to read it. I hope you got paid, and paid fairly, for writing that software.

To be honest, starting a career in academia seems to require making a checklist of every warning signal you can think of with respect to terms of employment and control over your work and career; and then ticking every single box. I think that the downside of having so many keen and talented young people wanting to advance science is that they end up rather exploited. The same is probably true in other fields where the work has an intrinsic artistic or intellectual worth and an opportunity for accomplishment, like music or writing. Hence the need to remind people of Yog's law.

[1] Some only pay in kind.
A caveat, first: I think two of our larger-scale social issues are that incentives are often misaligned with the outcomes we actually want, and that we don't create structural room for innovation.

That said, I think this is still pretty fraught.

Incentives are just rules enforced with a carrot instead of a stick; we're just as likely to come up with bad incentives as we are to develop ineffective regulations and write loophole-ridden or misapplied laws. At sufficient scale, money tends to inspire a troublesome kind of creativity.

If the private prisons have sufficient profit motive and the problems they face prove tractable for data and bespoke or ML solutions, they'll analyze likely convicts as thoroughly as possible and do what they can to skim the most-profitable convicts off the top of the pool and leave public prisons with whatever is left. Maybe they'll just directly pay the prisoner or their family. Maybe they'll have a miserable as-bad-as-regulations-allow experience for uninvited plebians and a special experience to offer prisoners they want.

Will a certain incentive lead them to bribe judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers, or witnesses to get (or avoid) prisoners? Would they do the same to keep a former inmate from being convicted again within 3 years of release?

And then some donation-funded corner of the think-tank ecosystem will endlessly torture the data to "prove" private prisons get better outcomes than public ones and shop boilerplate legislation to restrict public and promote private prisons.

And once the prisoners are within their walls, they'll be sucking up all of the data they can to hone their prediction of whether they'll reoffend when they get out. Will they use it nobly to target support, or to ensure the whoever the algorithms pick as bad apples end up in constant manufactured trouble?
Probably because it demanded low priority secrecy, since it isn't particularly dangerous, in and of itself.

Aerogels, having been invented in 1931, weren't directly secret, given that they appeared in scientific publications.

Meanwhile, it seems that the existing physics package designs had been optimized for a specific type of aerogel, and that the level of precision to maximize yield accounted for impurities introduced by the specific technique that had produced previous batches.

The nature of the secret seems to have been a gremlin, both incidental and intrinsic to the design of the contraption. And yet not aerogel specifically.
A better option would be to use aircraft or marine grade plywood—somethings that’s guaranteed not to have voids. It’ll be a lot stronger than making the teeth individually and attaching them to a round core.

An Oral History of ‘Snake’ on Nokia
Hey, training is the machine's job! First, we need our data set. We want: credit scores (possibly the Equifax breach?), a corpus of political views (scrape Twitter), and a way of linking the two (e.g. filter for verified profiles, extract name and look for town references.)

Once we have that, identify several sets: the "nobles" are hand-picked by us as shining examples of $COUNTRY values, and assigned value 1, "undesirables" are ranked in steps from [-1,0], and the "serfs" are the ones we're monitoring. Labeling nobles and undesirables the most time-consuming part of this exercise, it's recommended to outsource to some political instructors.

Once you have that, mix the sets together and create a deep neural net with a compact feature encoding layer at the top, say 128 neurons, which maps to a scalar value in range [-1,1] to determine social credit. Argmax for a few thousand iters.

Once you're done, you'll have a feature encoding network you can deploy on your country's firewall and search engines, while you can hide the credit calculator in a Party-controlled central server.

Enjoy!

EDIT: D'oh, totally forgot about clique analysis. Honestly that can be handled without ML, you can just assign credit' = min(credit, friend_credit) where friends are one edge away. Run that iteratively with an exponential discount factor in the delta change from credit->credit' and you'll converge on a good answer.

There's nothing there that indicating mood disorders, waking hours, or screen time even are wildly outside the norm for the middle class working population.

Anyways, I don't care about this fact too much. I'm going to continue believing that the majority of software engineers have fairly typical social lives, and my own observations don't conflict with this.

I don't care much about this, because the point I was making was that categorizing oneself in buckets like "software engineer" to justify one's misery is counterproductive, and even if 95% of software engineers were miserable I still think it be worth working towards that 5% rather than worrying about stereotypes.
Regen is fairly common with direct-drive hubs, but it's not beneficial for range. You get something like 5% more range on a hilly route. The vast majority of energy goes to drag unless you're puttering along at 10mph.

The point countering the parent comment is that the country didn't fall apart. Since it is not an inevitable outcome, the US shouldn't get all the blame. European and Asian countries also suffered heinous acts of subjugation and total war but they do not have an inevitable permanent incapability as a result.

Concerning Pinochet - despite his many abuses, in a pragmatic sense he did improve the country's stability relative to the actions of other South American leaders, and stopped a popular slide into socialism by showing that free markets can also create prosperity. Note that his successors kept most of his economic policies intact due to their efficacy and popularity.
Police use cases are driven by federal grants to local law enforcement, and the companies tend to be smallish, product driven (vs service) and not great from a technology integration perspective.

Ditto for similar big systems like EZPass are expensive. Some read transactions cost the government as much as $2.

It’s a market where the price is going to plummet as it becomes a service delivered thing. You’ll pull into a grocery store parking lot and generate an alarm to have a clerk get your groceries ready, and when you park it will tell him where to go. You’re also going to have a lot more tolls.
> I'm pretty sure if it ever got out what the Israelis are doing out in the open to influence US elections (such as attempting to kick Israel critic politicians out of office), that would do even more harm to US-Israel relations than any single politician could.

If they do it out in the open? Netanyahu openly snubbed Obama on various occasions and very publicly sided with conservatives. And with Trump he basically flaunts his partisanship. More importantly, there's a whole subculture in D.C. of Israeli and pro-Israel lobbyists which over the past couple of decades have become quite partisan. It's all out in the open, it's just very difficult to articulate because of anxieties over anti-semitism.

Similarly, but more positively, as I remember it Ariel Sharon quietly (but not secretly) came out against the Iraq War--not the bombing, just that he foresaw chaos from invasion and an attempt at nation building--and made this known to various politicians and leaders in Washington, including President Bush. Though, according to Wikipedia Sharon was far more equivocal and his opinions weren't made known publicly until years later. (Can't be bothered to confirm the accuracy of my memory.)
The problem is that those who get unfathomably rich off of "business" will employ this tremendous power to erode the barriers between what's an acceptable business venture and what is not.

4) The "Vitelli" in Latin would be the vocative of the name "Vitellius" rather than "Vitellio".

Cool sentence -- I had never heard of it before!

The Latin etymological equivalent of the Italian sentence would be "illi vitelli de illis Romanis sunt belli", which uses "de" in a way that's unidiomatic for ancient Latin (where it only means something like "from", not "of" in the sense of "belonging to").
> Also, the suburban trains and taxis carry bikes for free.

Sure, but how many will fit on one train/taxi? Here in Vancouver we have two bike-slots per bus and ~4 per train (which is actually just general accessibility-device space, for e.g. powered-wheelchairs, and is almost always taken already.)
I got the same advice when I got to college with my heaping pile of AP and IB test credits. In retrospect, I should have focused solely on my major, eschewed the double minor and "honors" classes, and graduated in six semesters of very light study.

Instead, I took some chemistry classes that I already technically had a double-cover of test credits for.

If the kid got a 5 on the AP test, no college should ever be telling them to take the course anyway. If they got a 4, that advice should be rare, and confined to classes on the degree track. Maybe if they squeaked by with a 3, and somewhat important to the major, that might be good advice, depending on the student. Otherwise, if the institution does not have confidence in the test, it shouldn't be granting credit for it!

Hey all, has anyone around here tried WeWork Labs, and would care to share your experience?

(Labs is, as far as I can tell, a separate coworking space with a bit of startup advice and community connections thrown in. I'm looking for Labs reviews specifically, not just wework in general.)

If you were or are a member:

1. Would you do it again?
2. What's your opinion of the space?
3. Did you occasionally get good startup advice?
4. How's the community?

Thanks!

The problem is mass tourism, not tourists. I’ve lived I two of the biggest cruise destinations in Norway, and that kind of tourism is terrible. Hundreds of mostly middle aged and old people overflow the city for a few hours and spending next to nothing as their cruise is all inclusive. Maybe they will hop on a bus for a guided tour to see all the sights in two hours. All the while the cruise ship is alongside port spewing exhaust all over the city. This is not sustainable. I take 500 German motorhomes driving 20 km/h below the speed limit instead of a cruise ship.

I agree, it seems to have become a fundamental axiomatic belief. My impression is that this change in thinking has spread very broadly (at least among vocal social media users) in a very short period of time, and it seems to be held in a very non-negotiable way, not subject to logical discussion.
i'm sorry but what is the shape or form of a proof? a function maybe - and calligraphy is certainly an art but what's wholly different from what the function encodes.
