I'm aware of the TCF, but it doesn't really address what I'm talking about. I couldn't find any real information about what Privolta is doing on the website, so can't comment on that.

What I have been seeing out of the industry (primarily what the IAB has been talking about and Google's "privacy sandbox") doesn't rise to the level of protecting privacy yet. Perhaps someday, but right now what it looks like is that they're seeking ways to continue an inherently privacy-invading business model while minimizing the impact of potential regulation.
Yeah, after some comments and thinking I think the walk away money would be more reasonable to go for than the equity. Thank you!
I'm a big fan of 3D vision.

Something that surprises me is why the software industry dictates using VR controllers, rather than giving the option of just using VR purely for 3D vision; the games supporting VR generally are separate versions of the original ones, with teleportation system.

My guess is that if a middle-ground approach was an option, there would be a larger adoption.
If the referendum had been held on a level playing ground we could agree. But given that it wasn't and that MPs sitting in parliament trump an advisory referendum we probably won't.
I really wish PiHole would support DOH. Currently if you want to have secured DNS you have to set up a DOH local proxy, then connect pihole to that.
This is a pretty short and likely inadequate answer, but: I would definitely read books on child development and whatnot. :)
I've gotten my advice on parenting down to two things: 1) feel free to ignore all the well meaning advice people give you about being a parent, and 2) put your mattress on the floor. Your baby can't fall if it's already on the floor. And you can either take that advice, or use it as practice for ignoring well meaning advice.
Listen to Soma-FM: SF 10-33 sometime. The dialogue protocol between dispatch and police/fire is remarkably controlled and consistent under the most difficult of circumstances.

Exceptions are suspect gunfire, multi-story "working" fires, and foot chases.

Hearing an officer 10-97 (arrive on scene) at a multi-vehicle accident calmly request multiple 408's (ambulances) code 3 (emergency response) belies the chaos at the scene and the intensity of what s/he is actually experiencing.

Cool, fair point. I didn't think that they'd rebelled till later. I still stand by my contention that the withdrawal bill would have passed were it not for the trenchant opposition from the ERG and DUP, but accept that the numbers don't entirely suport my story.
Affordability? Have you priced out F-150 sized trucks lately? The F150 starts at $28K, but you won't find one at that price. They typically average closer to $40K. Tundras start at $33K, but they too typically sell at over $40K. And both guzzle gas like it's going out of style.
British law is not all statute; some of it is "common law", which is essentially judge-made caselaw. The prorogation does not contravene statute, and wasn't held to. There is a long line of caselaw going back to the 1600s about the relationship of the Crown to Parliament which have been held to limit executive power, though. The court today held that the constitutional rule limiting royal power works to prevent prorogation under the circumstances seen this year.

Although the result is novel, this isn't particularly unusual for how the British legal systems work. Similar in principle to DC v Heller in the US Supreme Court, I suspect: the second amendment is known, but what is means for a particular DC handgun law isn't obvious until SCOTUS rules. The same here: the principle that the Crown can't use the prerogative to frustrate Parliament is now well established (starting with the Case of Proclamations [1610] EWHC KB J22) but it hadn't been tested in court whether that applied to these circumstances. Now we know.

So the only companies you would want to exist are the ones that have monopolies (or close to) in their markets? I would much rather see marketing from competitors, so I could at least have a launching point to do my own research.
Don't be obtuse, I said murder, not kill. Of course there are some justified instances of killing.

Again, if you save a bunch of lives, but then murder someone in cold blood, does the fact that you saved way more than you murdered mean that society ought to look past the murder? After all, your net contribution is very positive!

Thermodynamics tells us that order will always tend to chaos, and why not so for social cohesion? Unless you have some uniting force, the conversations will devolve into finger-pointing like it so often does.

In conversations like these, I find it helpful to remember that the world is actually becoming a better place to live on, day by day, in spite of our best efforts to stifle that advance.
A Short History of Artificial Neural Networks
This article comes from the team at Prisma, who are doing some really cool work building "database schema management and design with code" tools. They're working on a new version of their library right now (Prisma 2) and are regularly giving updates to the community and providing test versions.

Most everything they make is open source and really well designed. Would recommend checking it out!

Any president would probably have much the same role, in practice. The Irish president, say, has a similar role to the British monarch. Presidential democracies are rare in the developed west; it's not credible that the UK would become one.

Yeah, after some comments from others I've realized that Jim doesn't really own all of the code/app. I guess that would be what I would do if he just starts a new company - wait and see what happens and if they get somewhere, I can go after them as you've mentioned. Thank you!
Yeah I don't see much smooth roads and ride about 500+ miles a month. Some of it is on roads, but also a lot of gravel/dirt. I have to constantly clean chains and group sets otherwise shifting gets super crunchy.

I used to ride a cheap bike (Liv Alight 3), but after replacing 3 wheels it was cheaper to buy a nicer bike. Tourney has become a swear word in our house. Lately I've been riding my Catrike Expedition which is a blast, but chain and gear maintenance is still a problem.

The thing is while a worryingly large minority of addicts used their prescribed medication first (including not taking as directed) the majority still used it illicitly either through street sources or stealing from those with legitimate needs.

My dad, a commercial fisherman in Alaska, was on the radio to the marine dispatcher trying to get a rescue because his boat was sinking and there was water lapping his ankles. The dispatcher scolded him for cursing and from what he related later that only turned up the firehose. A helicopter did show up in time, so all was fine.

Baffling to me that people who are meant to be dealing with human beings going through stressful moments, perhaps the most stressful of their lives, believe policing civility should be part of the package.
> Leave voting neighbours who were very much the supposedly angry working class type that have been ridiculed and condescended to repeatedly by the liberal media.

I can understand this but, burrowing in to it, we have a class of people who are struggling for opportunity, work and dignity in an environment which is openly hostile to people in poverty. The bit that hurts my head is that people want to leave the EU as they think the government will then step in and give them the opportunities, work and dignity which they have crave. When it was the governments (of the last 40 years) which have put them in this position..

Here in the North East we have investment from the EU, do you honestly think that the tories are going to jump in and replace that investment? If you say that they have said that they will invest x amount then that it merely a drop in the ocean for regions like this.

IMHO.
I'm curious... what did the author mean by this:

> Legacy database types represent milestones on the path to modern databases. These may still find a foothold in certain specialized environments, but have mostly been replaced by more robust alternatives for production environments.

I didn't notice anything that went into any detail about legacy database types.

Any idea what the author means by a "Legacy Database"?
In theory, the mods can whitelist those articles manually after seeing them repeatedly flagged and vouched for.

However, we know that the mods have already seen this article since the link was changed from the archive to the paywall URL. In addition, I believe they've said in the past that they want to discourage particularly controversial stories. And biology studies like this are unfortunately controversial to the general public these days.

What games would you like to play in VR that aren't available? If you give examples, others here might be able to point you in the direction of something similar. :)
Because the effort and expense of doing so is greater than my annoyance.

I watch baseball games on the MLB streaming service and when they go to commercials, the screen goes to a static image with no sound. It's kind of jarring and I think I would prefer to have something still playing. The best thing would be if they just went to a wide shot of the ballpark with ballpark sounds, but the normal ads are better than silence IMHO.
Well, in my country there's a number of payment intermediaries like Przelewy24, PayU and a bunch of others, which proxy a payment without themselves receiving your card number either. The way it's constructed, you get redirected to your own bank's webpage, where you log in just to confirm a pre-filled transaction from your account to the intermediary service.

Then there's also Blik, which is the same except I don't even have to log in on the web page; I read a random six-digit code off my bank's app, enter it on the payment intermediary site, confirm again on the phone, and money moves.
>"It's unfortunate that internet people have been falsely conditioned to believe the people who create the media we consume shouldn't be paid."

Nowhere did I see in the OPs post that they believe people who create content shouldn't be paid. NPR is a publicly funded non profit which also gets revenues from corporate sponsors, endowments and foundations[1] and this model has served them and their listeners well.

The OPs concerns as I understand it is one that is grounded in the excitement surrounding this new windfall of ad revenue from podcasts and it's possible effects on an organization that proudly proclaims their independence.

Lastly aside from a couple of programs(All Things Considered and Morning Edition) NPR is not a content creator. They purchase content from PRI, WNYC Studios, and American Public Media. They are more of distributor and reseller of content.

>The hospital refused to treat him because he was so vulgar.

Was this a delivery facility in the USA?

Because if so, I'm 99.999% sure they broke the law. Just by way of example, recently, in one of the hospitals my S.O. runs, a gentlemen was cursing and racially berating a black nurse for attempting to treat his wife. Extreme vulgarity. (They had come in because the wife was having a baby. So emergency situation.) The hospital simply asked that the husband leave, and made sure that no black, hispanic or asian caregivers treated the wife.

Why?

Because it's unethical not to treat the sick, it's illegal in most states, and it will get you into serious problems with medical review boards everywhere in the US. All that then starts impacting things like Joint Commission, etc etc etc.

Of course, if the facility is already full and operating at legal capacity, that's one thing. But it doesn't sound like that's what happened in your anecdote.

> In particular they mention the second one in the context of meetings. I think I'll try that one as a very informal experiment as I tend to prefer "anything" when asking that in meetings and I don't get a great response usually.

I'm pretty surprised to hear this one. I've never taken that phrase as dismissive, and it didn't occur to me that anyone else would (and it's my experience that plenty of times, others will bring things up upon that question being asked).
> If you want to push back against tracking in ads, you have to support non-tracking ads.

Why? I don't want any ads whatsoever.

Maybe it's harsh but if they can't survive without ads then let them go? Many good podcasts already charge money.
I've had to debug every install of docker for windows that I've done because it doesn't set something up correctly. Usually this involves googling the error message, finding a github thread where people are talking about which builds this affects, and then trying one of three or more powershell commands to fix whichever part of the install failed. In the most recent attempt, the error message told me to enabled virtualization in the BIOS, but it was actually that HyperV had not been enabled properly[1]. It was installed and the UI ran, but if you tried to start any VM, it would fail. I doubt debugging this sort of thing is feasible for an end user.

I like to look at similar losses from this perspective: To learn what I did, would I pay about the same amount for a college course?

In the scope of your life, $1000 probably isn’t that much and it’s about the same as a college course. You’ve learned a lot. Those lessons are valuable. This hasn’t been a failure.
What a wonderful and refreshing approach to entrepreneurship. I loved his previous post about selling onions, and I like his strategy of picking a domain first and then running with it -- the details will be filled in later. Domain names have so much potential! They are so motivating initially -- and he clearly follows through!
Suppose you wish to register ownership of a house/car/etc. The government might want to collect taxes at that point. Instead of asking that you remit money with the specific agency, you are asked to buy "govt authorized stamps" (from a central agency) worth the same amount and affix it to the registration documents as proof of payment.

> Why is surveillance embedded into MS's business model?

You'd have to ask Microsoft. I suspect it's mostly to reduce production costs.

> If you're trying to claim they observe their customers

Yes, that's what I'm saying. The problem with their behavior on this score is that you can't make them stop without engaging in fairly extreme measures.

> Apple does that too

Yes, so?

> you seem to be deliberately trying to make their business model about data, and it currently, is not.

If it's not, then why are they so aggressive about collecting data about me and my use of my machines? Why not let me stop that?

The only reason that makes any sense is because doing so is a core aspect of their business model.
The article gives some examples of these, it seems they're mostly referring to things we wouldn't consider "databases" like flat files.
I think the same. I would never walk away with nothing. Your co-founder has to find a way to convince you, whatever that is (buying your shares at a reasonable price, or giving you some other reason that makes you happy).
And yet Leftist calls to metaphorically/actually "kill whitey", depictions of Trump's head severed, advocacy/support of Antifa violence, vicious takedowns of anything resembling white or straight "pride" (no different than any other "pride" movement), dismantling of "safe spaces" in favor of others, and a host of other overt assaults on conservatism for simply existing/disagreeing remain in public with no equivalent censorship.

When one side is smacked down for the slightest transgression as perceived by the other, yet the other gets a pass for all but the most overt calls to violence against the former, we have a problem.

Considering China's GDP is based on manufacturing and export, reducing the population will also result in productivity decreases, which would mean a negligible change in GDP per capita, since GDP would also fall.

I should have been more explicit but this is exactly what I'm doing. It's nice, having control over which version of Python I'm using by project. And if I name my virtualenv the same as my project directory, I can cd to the directory and "workon ." to load the environment.

I'm not a data scientist so I have little experience with these tools, except for Pandas, which I won't use unless I have to.
In point of fact, nobody has accused Minsky of having sex with the girl. Well, not anybody who could know. Someone who was there has stated specifically that Minsky turned her down. AFAIK nobody (who could know) has contradicted that.

RMS was simply saying that bullshit was being perpetrated in that CSAIL mailing list, about his dead friend and colleague. If Minsky had been alive, no doubt he'd now be suing.

RMS has been traduced by Selam Jie Gano, Vice and TechCrunch, and goodness knows how many others (the bullshit and distortions seem to be everywhere). I regret that FSF have accepted his resignation; I am now resigning my membership of the FSFE.

Let us dissect a news story about this:

https://komonews.com/news/local/officials-confirm-first-case...

It's all about vaping. General vaping, no THC mentioned, except right at the end: "The Health District says people that vape or use THC products" which doesn't make a lot of sense, because edibles are THC products and I'm pretty sure you won't get any lung issues from them.

It also says: "A Pierce County man is suing the makers of vape pods and vape pens claiming the products left him wheezing". Woah.. he's probably going to sue Juul right? Wrong. https://komonews.com/news/local/pierce-co-man-files-first-la...

"Puyallup Tribal Police Officer Charles Wilcoxen claims marijuana-laced pods gave him lipoid pneumonia. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital on September 11 when the wheezing became especially severe. After tests, doctors gave him the diagnosis."

This is why we can't have nice things.

ZDT also covers RMA situations where you iLok broke. Instead of them sending you a new iLok after a couple of weeks that has whatever licenses they were able to recover off the old one, they send you a new one with all of the licenses from the old one the same day you send them the old one, so you end up with like a 24-48 hour turnaround instead of losing a week or two.
In general, Swiss referenda are fairly well-thought-out; the voter knows what they're voting for.
