'"Hate Speech", defined essentially as any form of discrimination whatsoever, has been made illegal in Europe following the growth of the anti-immigration far right.'

Misguided on a number of fronts -> 'hate speech' is defined differently in each country but usually requires an incitement to violence, or direct violent threats, before a prosecution takes place.

Hate Speech wasn't made illegal as a result of the recent rise of the anti-immigration far right, these laws have often been in place for decades and were initially aimed at neo-nazis. e.g. 1986 in the UK. 1985 in Germany (initially).

And "in Europe" is a fucking stupid grouping when it comes to these laws as each country is completely different - what you can do in Romania is vastly different to what you can do in Germany.

What mechanism would act to slingshot material to such high speeds?
My conclusion after reading many papers in the Natural Language Processing field (which is now all about machine learning) is that, generally, company papers focus on tweaking pipelines until they have increased the accuracy score. If they have done so they quickly publish this result and leave the analysis of their results for others. (BERT[1] is a prime example of this.) However, I do not agree with the fact that companies lack creativity. If you look at all the wide research currently being undertaken at the big tech companies you will be amazed by their scope. (I found this out by coming up with 'new' ideas during my thesis, only to find out that some researcher at some big tech company was already working on it.)

- workers are at risk of accidents but they have no insurance, if you get in accident you will probably lose your job and that is all

- workers are tricked using "gamification" to work extra hours or accept bad deliveries

- workers have to suffer for other people faults , like some restaurant delays would cause the worker to get penalized

- when the weather is bad and the risks of accidents is larger you have more deliveries to do, so the worker will receive a few more cents for a delivery but maybe he doubles his accident risks.

IMO that article shows some facts that I did not know about and shows that without regulation to prevent it you will get exploited to injury or death.

The article does not seem to promote the perfect solution but mentioned the new law in California and the fact that some giant companies prepared a big found to lobby against this laws.
Won't it pull some of the matter it passes through under the event horizon? The extremely curved spacetime will likely turn rock to dust in near vicinity. Then, as the mass grows, so would the gravitational pull, while the speed relative to the planet being punctured would lower due to conservation of momentum.

If the tiny bullet-class black hole makes it through a planet, it could gain significant additional mass, and leave quite an exit wound.

Ouch, Poggioreale is not a nice place to be in.
To add to your comment in the title "Prehistoric" , "before history", means before the advent of writing, i.e. 5 000 years or so; history originally referring to times that have written records.

"History" itself now refers to the entire Universe timeline before the present. But prehistory cannot mean that, because that would be pre-BigBang.

So the title "Prehistoric babies Drank Animal Milk from Bottles" could refer to 1491 born Guaraní babies drinking Llama's milk from ceramic bottles and a nipple made from the rubber tree. Cool, but of no relevance to a paleo-diet.

I'd be over the moon if Twitter banned political discussion. No matter what side you're on, if any, you have to acknowledge that having discussions in 240 character bites is not going to convince anybody of anything. The only thing Twitter is really good at is letting people dunk on other people and showing their followers how smart they are. There's no nuance and no motive to actually persuade others, it's just basically a bar fight over the Internet.

They can't hold landlords hostage. The best they can do is to cancel the lease and convert WeWork into an Airbnb style platform that lets the landlord rent out their office space as a workspace. This shifts most of the risk to the landlords and WeWork can simply take a transaction fee as a middle man.
> ONT-OLT communication is typically encrypted as well

Is it? I guess that's conceivable though it looks _optional_ to me, but I have no statistics as to how widely the option is taken up.

Nevertheless the G.948 work basically doesn't care about eavesdroppers. The threat model they've engineered around is that Eve lives next to Bob, and so if she tweaks the ONT (which legally belongs to her ISP but is on her property) she can see Bob's messages, whereas we're talking about a fibre tap to receive everybody's messages and then we'll root through that for Bob's messages.

G.948 as amended makes random keys in each ONT and sends them to the OLT, knowing Eve can't see the key chosen by Bob's ONT (it passes upstream not downstream). But as an eavesdropper with a fibre tap we do see both directions so this countermeasure doesn't inconvenience us.

Good on them for spelling out a threat model, and to me their model seems reasonable (if Alice buys Premium Sports for $180 per month we don't want Bob to watch Premium Sports free by pirating Alice's data) but it doesn't stop bad guys snooping this traffic.

> Bookstores provide a lot of service value, a decent bookstore will allow you to find similar material, allow you to browse as you please (instead of the skimpy sample pages), usually contain an expert that can offer advice and allow you to walk out with your purchase. Additionally it's common to see a heavy effort at investing in the atmosphere.

Maybe post-Amazon retro bookstores provide this, but prior to Amazon bookstores were mostly garbage. You could only browse what they had, which was far from everything. Prices were also very high. I remember as a kid bringing in pencil and paper to copy down algorithms from books that were simply too expensive to purchase. There were also few if any 'experts' at the book store.

For me, the internet + Amazon (and now 1/same day delivery) is better than a book store in every way.

The only place that I know of now that provides something close to what your are romanticizing about is libraries. People who work there for the most part still care about books and understand their catalog. But, anything even remotely popular will likely be checked out which means I'll end up back at Amazon.

Not quite a billion, but hey at least you can configure things the way you want very much unlike macOS where you have absolutely no choice whatsoever.

When I first setup Manjaro, I looked at all the remote access solutions as well and I found that X2Go was the best performing solution. Did you give that a try?

Yes, paleo and keto (I think) don't exclude fat, but they are excluding a major source of calories. Because we do need some fat in our diet or else we go into rabbit starvation.

Techniques used to create realism with rasterization (e.g. normal mapping; shadow mapping; screen-space anti-aliasing) are still simulations of optics, just not entirely faithful ones.

Generating visuals with an autoencoder, albeit hinted by noisy physically-based raytracing, is not an optical technique; detail is generated from a visual statistical model, not an optical simulation.

This is the detail which needs to be added to almost all mainstream coverage of education stats — every year you'll see some hand-wringing about U.S. students falling behind internationally and the authors never mention that the effect is much weaker once you correct for the fact the U.S. has a much wider range of students taking most tests. Usually almost all of these metrics come back to the root cause of economic disparities along the spectrum from hard poverty to not being able to afford tutors and SAT prep courses.

(This is also why the cool curriculum ideas or charter school concepts we hear about never go anywhere: the TED Talk sounds great but inevitably once it scales up it turns out that the effects were due to some sort of selection bias (quite possibly unintentional) or simply lucky small sample sizes which peters out at larger scale)

This is very untrue and you clearly have not researched what has happened in the actual written law or in the correspondence between various EU governments, NGO's and big tech companies the past few years.

And I'll add just in case this isn't clear, inciting hateful action against people should(edit: whoops) be illegal. But banning all forms of discrimination whatsoever is going too far.

Interesting. Do common server (or even consumer) workloads contain enough CPU "dead time" to make 4 threads per core a benefit?
No, for much the same reasons that you can’t shoot down an incoming KE shell fired at you from the main gun of a tank on a ridge half a mile above you with a bang-snap you fire from a child’s elastic catapult.

Sure, technically asteroids come in many sizes, but for dangerous ones you are talking about shooting a thing the size of a mountain that is falling towards you in a way that makes it stop falling towards you.
Hmmm. The vast majority of space object's orbits are stable enough in orbits avoiding us:

1. We wouldn't be here if it weren't the case
2. They would have already collided.

Do we really want to destabilize an otherwise random asteroid's orbit unless it's certain it's on a collision course?

1. There are millions (billions?) of other asteroids that come close to us. What makes this one so special? Deflecting this one, even if the deflection works with no unintended consequences, does nothing to improve our odds against getting hit (P = P_one_asteroid * N_asteroids; N_asteroids - 1 ~ N_asteroids).
2. If the deflection destabilizes the orbit, where will the asteroid go but to a nice heafty attractor ?

The only value of this is if we're certain its on a collision course. But if we are, then it too late to deflect!
Google's Quantum Computer
The ideas that deep learning is meaningfully contributing to CO2 emissions seems dubious to me. Lots of data centers are powered by renewables. Furthermore I think advances in AI are probably critical to climate adaptation. “Turn off the computers to save the planet” strikes me as Luddite-ism.

You assume taxes will go down as a result of this, which is most certainly not the case. They'll just be redirected to something else, perhaps something I don't care as much about.

And I'm also paying quite a bit of taxes that go to someone else's needs, and I have nothing from. Just a nature of taxation and government subsidies.

This just shifts the balance of what's comming back to me, to where I don't care as much, perhaps.
There are a few "have" universities in each case, and mostly "have not" universities, which is consistent with the direction AI is going, according to the NY Times article.

It's strange to hear about not getting an insurance if staying at home. That's exactly what my wife did when our child was small. She had the same insurance as me, because I was able to add her to my employer-sponsored insurance policy.
