Your anecdotal evidence is certainly stark compared to TPB. It just seems bewildering the largest website in the field has such limited donations. They have had multiple takedowns and legal issues. It just seems to me it would have had a more successful donation drive.

We can't go to a program like the UK that's works out to be cheaper in the long run because our current half-assed program costs more? Not following the logic here. We already "pay" for the people we don't explicitly pay for. (Emergency room, lack of preventive care, etc)

Juuls are pervasive in modern day high school. Either you have one or your friend has one.

My little sister told me that the bathrooms are basically used vape-stations between classes now, and most people have tried it.
The big difference between debt taking 18% of budget at historically high interest and 8% of budget at very low interest is that if the low interest ever becomes very high again (say around 9x what it is now, which has happened historically) you're talking about interest taking 72% of budget which would be catastrophic. 18% at the historic high would require 4X the historic high (an 80%+ interest rate, which we have good reasons for believing won't happen in the US).

It's interesting how much design tolerances and overbuilding factor into this.

Assuming linear failure to fault (e.g. rust or structural weakening), an overbuilt bridge makes a big difference if one is skimping on maintenance costs.
1. They taste better

2. Yes, they are easier to get, for a couple reasons: once you have a juul you only need juul pods, and additionally you don't need to purchase a lighter (which you need to be over eighteen a lot of places to purchase).

edit 3. They are far more discreet (you can vape in a classroom if you are in the back and it is dark) and deliver more nicotine.
In regards to anonymous sources, what do you want them to do? Most sources need to stay unnamed, or they cease to be sources (and no future sources come forward).

Another note: There is a difference between anonymous and unnamed. Most reporters know and verify their sources. They just do not name them to the public.

This builds up to a bigger question, with anti-competitive implications. What if you want to build a Google competitor?

Protecting kids from predatory companies selling them addictive substances? Yep that’s exactly what we should be spending resources on.
The amount of infrastructure I have to setup/maintain to do all of that is, well, nothing.

That is where the mental savings comes in.

When I first started, I went from "never wrote an HTTP endpoint" to "wrote a secured HTTP endpoint that connects to my DB" in under 20 minutes.

There is nothing for me to maintain. Setting up a new environment is a single CLI command. No futzing with build scripts. Everything will work and keep working pretty much forever, without me needing to touch it.

The sheer PITA of maintaining multiple environments and teaching build scripts what files to pull in on both my website and mobile app is enough work that I don't want to have to manage yet another set of build scripts. I don't want to spin up yet another set of VMs for each environment and handle replicating secrets across them. I just want a 30 line JS function with 0 state to get called now and then.

(As an example, trying to tell my mobile app's build system that I want a build with production code but pointed at my test environment? Hah! Good luck, the build system is hard coded to only have the concept of dev/prod! I've had enough of that.)

It is frustrations like that Serverless solves.

Usually via javascript. Many of the credential stuffing and similar bots need to run headless browsers these days to be able to do their job. The folks at Kasada (https://www.kasada.io) have talked over the years at a high level of some of the approaches they've taken, there should be a few conference presentations on YouTube. They don't get into the finer detail though as I assume there's a large amount of secret sauce about what they do too.

I'm not sure what they do for the non-JS use case. They sit in the request path like a CDN though so maybe they just return an error or deliberately slow response times?
I think by a technical definition, every company intranet would count (minus some poor security configurations). But that doesn't really seem to be a fair companion to the more commonly discussed dark web.
What makes Google's legitimate over OP's?

A big part of the net neutrality fight was "allowing the little guy a chance to play with the big boys".

Part of the service says:- for Bandwidth Alliance partners, we’re going to hand the IP of the bot to the partner and get the bot kicked offline... If the infrastructure provider hosting the bot is part of the Bandwidth Alliance, we’ll share the bot’s IP address so they can shutdown the bot completely. The Bandwidth Alliance allows us to reduce transit costs with partners and, with this launch, also helps us work together with them to make the Internet safer for legitimate users.

My reading of that is if CF decide your IP is bad, they can leverage the providers Bandwidth Alliance status to shutdown the providers customer. What if CF's systems misfire? Will there be a grace period? Will there be an appeals process? Will CF compensate anyone effected and have their hosting withdrawn from a misfire?

No one likes bad bots, but I'm feeling more and more uneasy allowing CF decide which is which.

The most terrifying thing about antibiotic resistance is that bacterial will readily take up DNA fragments from dead neighbors (or via sex pillus).

This means that if a benign bacteria develops resistance, that gene can easily find its way into a pathogenic one if they are both in the same environment.

I completely disagree, investigating vaping companies for targeting kids is absolutely worthwhile.

Big tobacco was prohibited from advertising is various media for creating characters like Joe Camel, only to circumvent the spirit of the law via the internet.

I used a TI-89 (which has a CAS) on the AP Calculus exam. I maybe used it to double check an answer, but I don't remember it being more useful than a TI-83 on that exam. You can only use calculators on part of the exam. On the calculator portion, I remember formulating each problem to be the hard part and the actual differentiation/integration was straightforward.

The SAT math is so rudimentary that it's difficult to use a calculator beyond its basic arithmetic functionality (unless it's been changed since I took it). I bet most people would get similar scores with and without calculators.

In college, calculators were never allowed in exams. They just constructed each exam problem so that you didn't need to perform arithmetic with large numbers. It does make it seem like exams were written to sell calculators...

In AWS it is better to use Fargate. You can use standard docker containers with Fargate, you do not need to baby sit and patch servers. Fargate has warm caches in comparison to Lambda. Also it is easier to version control a docker container vs serverless functions. Plus if you do not like Fargate you can move, if you have written everything in proprietary Lambda code you are locked in.

>Another trend we have seen is the increase of the combination of bots with botnets, particularly in the world of inventory hoarding bots. The motivation and willingness to spend for these bot operators is quite high.

>The targets are goods of generally of limited supply and high in demand and in value. Think sneakers, concert tickets, airline seats, and popular short run Broadway musicals. Bot operators who are able to purchase those items at retail can charge massive premiums in aftermarket sales. When the operator identifies a target site, such as an ecommerce retailer, and a specific item, such as a new pair of sneakers going on sale, they can purchase time on the new Residential Proxy as a Service market to gain access to end user machines and (relatively) clean IPs from which to launch their attack.

They then go on to spout some economic nonsense about how such bots are harmful. Actually, resellers make the market more efficient, and cloudflare is doing a disservice by lumping legitimate bots in with malicious ones like their credential stuffing example.
Superficial judgement is kind of where intelligence starts.

It's really only people where you can't tell what it does/is from the outside. Cars, trees, animals, mountains... everything else, if it looks a way it acts that way. Early AI will probably have just as much trouble with this as people have historically.

I really wish people would start viewing Racism as a willingness to let that primitive part of the mind be in command, rather than a binary attribute you either have or don't. Like, nobody is 100% not racist. There will always be slip ups, over-simplifications, snap judgements, subconscious or not.
Thanks for calling this out. It's baffling to come across vegetarians at all (I'm vegan btw) talking about ethics. To me it's worse than an omni who thinks they care about animals, because a vegetarian has taken some steps to look into the details, but then decides to stop short.

> would not care much if Google had a lot of information about me if their goal was something other than influencing me to buy products and services

Ironically, I'm the opposite. I don't care about the advertising targeted at me (I pretty much never bought anything based on targeted advertising). I worry about the knowledge about someone being used to hurt them.

For example, a professor once said that each of us commits 3 felonies a day. With perfect knowledge of people, it brings the specter of selective enforcement. That selective enforcement can be used to blackmail/extort/manipulate anyone you want to.

For a fictional example, check out the TV series "Suits". The "good guys" are always turning the tables on the "bad guys" by digging into their past and finding dirt on them. And vice versa. It's the plot of pretty much every episode. (But of course the good guys do this for good, and the bad guys use it for bad. But in real life, this isn't so simple.)

Even if you think outing people for doing bad things is always a good thing, the data collected on people is often wrong, and innocents get hurt as well. The definition of what is "bad" also shifts over time.
Actually, it's a pretty nice world, and I don't see anything wrong with wanting to keep it that way for our posterity to inherit. We have a lot of wealth, sure, but it's not infinite, and there are orders of magnitude more people that can take advantage of us than we can weather without driving our children's standard of living into the ground.

If you don't mind me asking, what did your startup to achieve an exit? Curious, since you're arguing that AI outdoing one radiologist but not an ensemble of radiologists does not create sufficient business value.
I’m curious, how do the pricing compare? Having a lawyer at an HR interview is certainly $800 already (at $300/hr), with what, 2% chances of succeeding a trial, and say 15% chances of getting a settlement, but also months of dragging. lawsuit and difficulty to focus on a new job, assuming you find a new employer. Do people really get settled for dozens of thousands of dollars?
But it is totally possible to host your own server with flawed security that you are able to legally hack. It might be rare for that to be the actual use case, but it is totally a possibility. With the illegal material being discussed here, there is no such equivalent no matter how out of the box a justification one is willing to aim for.
> The San Francisco company has said it never marketed to teens

Says a company that:

• Recruited social media "influencers" to post about Juul

• Sponsored programs at schools and summer camps

• Ran "youth education" and "holistic health education" programs where they told teenagers about the dangers of nicotine and (reportedly) that using their product was safe

The counterargument to the point you're making would be that taxes are essentially "closing the loop" between private and public services.

Either the state taxes and provides public services, or the state taxes less and private services are provided.

I think the bigger point is about the state's role as a consumer- and lender- of last resort.

Through its ability to deficit spend (enabled by its supposed future ability to tax) or its ability to print currency (through its central bank), there are functions the only states have access to. Which become incredibly valuable when everyone else is economically terrified.

Your point takes a narrow view on correctness and also shows why you need to take the systemic view on the issue.

The problem is not that the AI is "inaccurate". The problem is the second order effect: when you build systems on top of this AI's predictions, you cement the input social biases into future systems in a way that is very hard to remediate.

The real problem is how to avoid accidentally creating systems that amplify existing social biases.

I'm very specifically using the term "social bias" to distinguish from "bias" as a term in ML, because they are very different problems.
I'm not sure about the comparison to Go as that can get very verbose. Same with Python. And JS is an absolute mess compared to C#/.NET which has a fantastic standard library and many conventions to get going fast.

.Net (and Java) run the Fortune 1000 so there will of course be lots of devs specialized in that. There's nothing wrong with being very good with 1 language and stack when you're paid to be productive for the company. Also you can definitely write C# with a simple text editor if you have to, and VSCode is pretty slim already, but why would you want to when there's such a powerful IDE available?

This sounds like a purity argument about how to be a "real programmer", but I would much rather work with people who are good at what they do and get things done instead.
I committed roughly equivalent crimes driving to work today, as did everyone else on the highway driving 75 in a 60 zone, should I be detained in a standing room only facility with no amenities for hygiene?

> Any level of mindful eating is admirable, even if someone changes their constant diet of meat to one of having 1 day a week meat-free for the sake of animals and the environment is worth applauding.

These kind of baby steps never lead anywhere fruitful. The end goal must be worked towards. Applauding any and every tiny effort just makes people complacent and we never make any real progress. E.g. most vegetarians have no plans to transition to veganism, despite knowing about the cruelties of the egg and dairy industries (which are the same as the poultry and beef industries, just a different point in the pipeline).
Definitely "want them more". Smoking rates have been steadily going down across the board in the US for decades, but now Juul is making it "cool" again, hence the uptick among teens.
Your definition of "not that different" must be incredibly broad.
