The objectionable bits of his most recent comments were primarily opinion, so I don't know what "formally correct" means.

"Even if it would have been legally rape, it shouldn't be called 'assault' because it would just have been statutory rape, and really we should consider whether statutory rape is morally wrong."

I don't believe there is any formal logic to prove whether it is or isn't appropriate to call something assault.

Goodbye.
I think the implication here is that it’s a linguistic dialogue.
> I would think the battery drain would be negligible compared to your screen.

I don't know how much battery it would require, but you'd want to provide enough resistance to make a keypress feel substantive and satisfying.

That said, with a careful and fast feedback system, the keys could start out with just enough force to hold up the keycap, detect a finger starting to press them, and ramp up the force to that key to provide enough resistance, then stop again when the key has traveled back up. That could reduce the energy usage compared to always providing force comparable to a spring or scissor switch.

That same feedback system could theoretically mimic the resistance curve of various other keyboard technologies.
For facebook atleast, I think it also helps them hide the decline of people using the site. Like when myspace stopped showing the last time people were logged in.
"That is, if these observed accelerations were sustainable in space"

If the observed accelerations of my car were sustainable in space, I'd be able to do interstellar travel pretty easily.

Stack this up with the other crazy assumptions made in this piece (check out the first comment, for instance). You want to assume high tech has 1000G acceleration? OK, you know, sure, fine. But it also moves through the air at massively supersonic speeds without causing friction or sonic booms? That's another separate piece of technology that's basically magic. (Honestly not even sure which I find less believable!)

And then this amazing advanced technology is flying around is moving around on that flight pattern because... uhh... why would any aircraft fly that way again? Look at that flight path. What possible use could that have?

I've never heard even a sketch of a motive that suggests why these craft would fly in such crazy patterns around aircraft that isn't better met by some other approach, that is, whatever goals something flying such an astonishing craft may have, they could simply obtain directly.

The theory that these are "technologically advanced craft" requires an incredibly precise combination of high technological skill matched with utter ineptitude and stupidity, beyond merely "oh we just don't understand their goals". This is not intelligence acting in ways we don't understand; this is lack of intelligence.

It seems like using an upvote/downvote system akin to Reddit and Hacker News would make more sense for this goal. Allow all viewers to determine the quality of a comment, not just the person who posted the original tweet.

Everything we've observed the last few years shows that we should be democratizing discourse on social media, not further funneling the power of the conversation into fewer hands. Do you really want extremist twitter accounts to be able to hide all dissenting replies?
Money creation and currency competition has historically been controlled by very few entities, most of the time governments. Competition takes place in other areas and technologies and ideas have advanced while the innovation in money and currency has been much slower and often stagnated by various societies printing their currency out of existence.

As long as people have the power to consent to which currencies they use the availability and competition among them creates a market for competition and innovation.

This article is quite biased. What today's liberals are feeling is what conservatives felt for the entire Obama administration. It's not new.

Thanks for sharing all this. This is a very good overview of all the problems I can see today from all the major outlets and how even social media just fans the flames. Mass media and social media seem to work in a feedback loop of creating stories and spreading them by people identifying with them based on their politics/opinions. Media companies are desperate to keep readers/viewers engaged, so they keep catering to their demographic instead of focusing on being a responsible source of information and a platform for civil discourse.
I'm surprised at how theatrical the notice of seizure is. Would not have expected that from our usually exceedingly sober law enforcement.

I think you’re right. I think both are a problem. One is a daily existing problem and the other is smaller but we still need to be vigilant to ensure it doesn’t become a significant problem. It’s good for everyone, black and white and everyone else because it allows cohesion and better cooperation and commonality of goals. At the same time, we should also actively work to lessen existing problems via opportunity and fostering environments that gets our economically disadvantaged kids of all backgrounds into a paths that offer ways out of dead end opportunities.

Bitcoin is actually using a lot of energy that would have simply been wasted: much of bitcoin's hashing power comes from renewable hydropower that wasn't already being used as it was too remote to economically transmit to cities. In most places, if one mines Bitcoin on non-renewable electric grids, it's incredibly hard to be profitable.
I have mixed thoughts about it, myself. I like to keep up, but it is refreshing to turn everything off a while.

My suggestion of a better solution would be better tools. For instance, when viewing or editing the code, a call to CopyFile should appear something like

CopyFile([from] 'presentation.md', [to] '/home/presenter')

with the "[from]" and "[to]" parts not being actual tokens that are part of the source file, but annotations that appear to assist the developer. They would appear as little badges, non-editable or selectable, with distinctions in their display to make it clear they are UI elements rather than part of the source code.
Amusingly, this has the same ambiguity problem the original post was trying to solve!
Scenario Testing and Exploratory Testing of Mobile Games
>Though I can’t help but wonder if this is a very subtle re-framing of the Max accidents to shift blame back towards pilots.

Blame is a loaded word. Boeing assumed that pilots could be relied upon to recover from a MCAS induced runaway trim. Practice has shown that they can't. Whether Boeing or the pilots is at fault is, from a safety perspective, irrelevant. The bottom line is that an assumption was made, it was wrong, and a couple planes crashed. Using average pilots instead of highly experienced test pilots is a sensible step to prevent a repeat.
The SE will still require a password or other authentication data (e.g. iris/finger print, biometric measurements) until it will use its key to decrypt the data.

The only ways around this are:

* physical extraction of the embedded memory in the SE (I'm not sure if this is actually feasible, it's certainly a destructive attack)

* "updating" the SE firmware - this is what the FBI wanted Apple to do in that terrorism case, that Apple develop a SE firmware that leaks the secret key

* exploiting bugs in the SE firmware - this is what the FBI ended up doing by hiring either Cellebrite or some anonymous hackers (depending on which source one believes).
You do both. Put most $ into index funds, but put some percentage into your own stocks / other investments.

Yeah, my immediate reaction to this article was that it sounded similar to the well known fact in web programming, that you need to have user tests by people who have never used the website before, otherwise you won't be able to find out which parts of the UI are confusing.
Here’s the video of Joe saying exactly that:

Here’s one example from today;

> Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin [the fired Ukrainian Prosecutor] testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation. [1]

> “The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” Shokin testified... [2]

Like I implied above, I don't care about defending Biden.

My point is that the narrative that Biden personally got that particular prosecutor fired is false. Especially if you want to cast the firing as improper.
Which is perfectly fine

> “There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.”

This is quoted out of content, here is the full quote:
"There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children. [with a link to https://www.theguardian.com/society/2013/jan/03/paedophilia-...]

Granted, children may not dare say no to an older relative, or may not realize they could say no; in that case, even if they do not overtly object, the relationship may still feel imposed to them. That's not willing participation, it's imposed participation, a different issue."

He did not take the "There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children" statement out of his butt, it was the conclusion that he formed after reading this article.

But even then, I do not see how his opinions regarding paedophilia are relevant to the topic at hand.
I think the best way is 3-5 word bullet points, but mostly talking about tables/charts/figures. If you've truly done the research yourself, you can easily explain what is behind every chart.
Sport pilot here: total flight hours on an airliner is an almost useless metric, the difference between 2000 hours and 5000 hours is negligible. I know pilots with over 10,000 hours that died in stupid accidents, I know instructors that never performed maneuvers that are almost routine to other pilots that don't even have 500 hours. I know dozens of pilots and there is no average one, some are very good and some are barely flying, with no middle ground. It is an area where you are either good or pretty bad.
This is false dichotomy. The media spend incredible amount of energy destroying this guy for no apparent reason. It's not more then fair the same amount of energy is spend helping him for the injustice that was done.

Beside it's not like the media is lacking in energy to spend on inciting social justice mobs.

We're not talking about differences in opinion here. We're talking about abuse of language. You cannot respect an individual and kill them for entertainment. If you think otherwise, you're using a completely different definition of the word 'respect' and it's certainly not the definition that would be used in any other context. Hunters can be conservationists. They can even be a net positive for nature overall. But they kill other individuals. For enjoyment. Unnecessarily. They don't respect them. And I say this is obvious because it's a simple syllogism.

Pretending that there is some sort of subjectivity to this discussion is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest. You keep trying to shift this back to opinions and points of view, which I find is a common tactic when discussing animals, but we're not talking about anything subjective.
It can draw attention, but until the police has a reasonable excuse to look into the building, they can't.
Right, but my point is there may not actually be any pilots who are merely competent at all skills. The distribution of skills may be more complex than that. You may be making things safe for someone who does not exist, which is pointless, and you'd be better off making things safe for something other than a simple mean average.

At least at first glance, it seems they have learned their lesson in this area.
This all depends on how far you are willing to stretch the definition of "experience", I think.

It hasn't fallen. The Clojure community has been growing steadily and continues to grow (it's a great community, I'll add). Things have just settled down since, that's why there are fewer announcement.

As an aside, the 2019 SO survey shows Clojure programmers are the best paid [1].

Most Clojure programmers I know (myself included) would not choose to go back to Java.

I think you are making false assumptions. One can not drive any car without using the vehicle interface on an almost constant basis, including the Tesla. Since the Tesla only has a touchscreen for interfacing with the vast majority of the vehicle's functions, you are therefore using it constantly - that is my argument. But maybe you use cars differently than myself and those I've surveyed, e.g. music browsing, imperfect automated climate control settings, navigation, insane/ludicrous mode, apps, etc.
Looks like everyone just went back to java.

From my surroundings more to JS/TS/Python/Kotlin, obviously big communities have a network effect for pragmatic reasons.
That is transphobic. Your Grandma could identify as your Grandpa.
We never will all agree on what is intolerable and that's overall healthy for society, it's how we allow ourselves to grow. I don't want to argue for what is tolerable or not, just that for me I'm comfortable not tolerating certain things.
> But he defended someone who associated with Epstein and who had sex with an underage girl, he got from Epstein.

He did not.

I think it's time to cut with the BS!

- according to the sources Minsky never had sex with the girl, if you have proof of the contrary, please provide them

- Stallman was not defending Minsky, in fact he even assumed the sex happened, he was arguing against using the term "sexual assault" because its legal definition is very different from the everyday connotation

But I found something I think you might enjoy.

I found someone who probably nailed it

How about, if the old person would be mick jagger? I could imagine, he still has his charms to some. Also I have seen young attractive women aproaching old yoga gurus for example ..

But yeah, the old guy wasn't mick jagger, nor a yoga master and at best he did assume the girl was a 18+ old prostitue doing it willingly for money and power

And he (Minsky) turned her down.

>> WRT the "don't say god bless you" thing, I'm not really sure how that fits into what I'm saying, and that feels kind of like a straw man -- likewise with the "one guy" and their pronoun -- most queer and trans folks don't have pronouns like that. They are usually either people who were gendered as men or women most of their lives, who decided that they want to go by "she" or "he" respectively later in life, or people who aren't comfortable with either, and prefer "they".

I thought I covered that in 2 ways...

1) Random thoughts from an old guy

2) I was giving an example of the differences between people.

I have been chastised in the past for saying bless you to some people. I've kind of trained myself now to say "Maay the diety of your choice bless you" in some cirumstances but I also get chastised for that. I've also been chastised for remaining silent. So, what choice do I make here to not be "creepy".

For whatever it's worth.
While I don't disagree, at least moving from test pilots to average pilots would be a big improvement. And, in practice, might mean that you have to simplify and streamline the UI just as much as for the minimum viable pilots. But, even if not, at least average would be way better than test pilots only.
The sooner we (in particular Americans) realize less government control equals more corporate control, the sooner we realize that government control is the only way the people can exercise control, which should be its right.

The only way I think something like what you described in your first paragraph would work is if you had an AI system B that could present questions and prototypes back to requirement-setter A for feedback. Of course, that'd be a very difficult problem, even if you limit it to a constrained domain.
That quote makes me think this is not a serious paper.

EDIT: Read some parts, yep. That's someone who hopes that with enough integrals and over-analysis no one will notice they base their claims on very sketchy data and assumptions.

What is average? Is the average of one countries pilots the same as another's - maybe, maybe not.

Whilst I tend to agree, this does seem a bit of a blame-shift/deflection, it does raise the area of pilot plane certification. Maybe, that is the area that needs to be addressed so pilots are more knowledgeable about the plane they are flying at a level beyond what is allowed now.

However this plays out, I'd say those who certify planes for use by pilots also need to do so on the basis of the "average" pilot and perhaps need to raise their standards more than pilots do.

I would of assumed that had plane had difficulty - that they had a hotline to somebody who was very knowledgeable beyond forcing pilots in a panic situation to RTFM. Which is kinda what the situation is now.
To be more precise, Boeing assumed that all pilots flying their aircraft would be up to the standards of the United States as opposed to the different standards around the world.
> What makes a language "historical"?

Perhaps I should have 3 categories: active, legacy, historical. Active would be the language itself is still evolving, legacy would be the language has stopped evolving but some people still use it, and historical is there are no known public users.
