Perhaps there needs to be an additional option; eg a) Organ Donor vs b) Science Donor, and some redefinition of the former to preclude post mortem pecuniary feasting. Most certainly, strict policy is needed to prevent harvesting without consent, which may be an issue more often than expected [1].

I must say, that the utilitarian views on corpse harvesting are to me, appalling. The thought of someone I cared profoundly for, having their form indifferently, irreverently butchered for anything other than pure, noble science or directly life-critical purposes is wretched, and even then... It appears that an argument is being made that such procedures benefit some, who even if able to survive without, are entitled and that it fills a market niche and therefore it's perfectly fine. If a case can be made for justifying cosmetic harvesting beyond the will of the departed, it doesn't seem drastically more extreme to propose an industry for necrophilia or necro-voyeurism or any other taboo having only ideological consequences. The same reasoning could be applied, with arguments both for and against being mostly of subjective values. I'd rather not.

I hope those who view existence and its every detail from macro to micro exclusively through the lens of cold science and economy can pause to consider either that some others don't, or find a suitable formulaic substitute for empathy. Assuming ownership and control of someone's (formerly) most intimate personal property, ie body, might not be as agreeable as you think.

I would imagine most restaurants wouldn't want customers walking around clumsily with trays of dirty plates. They don't know what they're doing and they'd be brushing past other customers unnecessarily. In a restaurant you're paying for an experience and I think it's totally reasonable for part of that experience to be someone clearing plates away after courses.

Many new developments in the US do use buried wires. But a lot also still use poles. It's hit and miss.

From what I remember, PG&E is notorious for "procrastinating" on maintenance of its wires, as well. Wires need to be regularly checked and have nearby foliage trimmed to a safe distance. Keeping up on this maintenance would reduce the risk of fires, but California is big and the utility has decided it doesn't want to do that. So the poles are more dangerous than they should be.

I think the change (web vs. mobile) is more about the following: mobile devices are more personal and well, more mobile. As such, they provide stronger authentication mechanisms. They are typically managed environments, and finally, there are more people with mobile devices than with personal computers in the world. All of the above are truly game changers when you look at certain application domains such as mobile banking.

Here's one out of thousands of scenarios that are possible only on mobile: I am in London, I need some cash money but my bank accounts are in euros. The sequence is this: Face ID, then with a few taps I convert the necessary amount and withdraw pounds from the nearest ATM. With Revolut I saved a lot of time and money on conversion alone (though to be fair many other mobile banks do the same today).

This is not just "pure Internet" it's a different medium that brings a lot of new possibilities.
Though it really depends on what you want to do with the data, I can really recommend to use esphome in combination with homeassistant/influxdb/grafana. You can configure the sensors with a simple yaml file, compile and upload to the chip and then add it to a homeassistant dashboard. Long term trends can be queried from influxdb and presented in a grafana dahboard
Funny that you mention the 4790K, because that's exactly the setup I have and I was shocked how fast the i7-8565U is is in my Razer Blade Stealth. When I first got that laptop, just for a test I started a video conversion of a blu-ray movie in handbrake on both my desktop(i7-4790K) and my laptop(i7-8565U) at the exact same time, and both machines finished after 2 hours within a minute of each other. It's absolutely remarkable how fast that mobile chip is, while only using 25W of power vs the 4790K's 90W.

Not just health costs, but environment too. Why must we collectively be ok with enabling a profit margin on sugar water that requires factories, immense material resources to transport (cans, bottles) and prioritized placement in global distribution?

The entire grift of the last few decades has been “externalize costs of our mess on the next generation for massive profit.” That’s unheard of. Until the last ~100 years the previous generations messes removed themselves in decades. Ours is such that it may wipe out the species

I am very OK with the masses having direct control over how the global trade system we collectively build is allowed to impact the one planet humans can survive on.

All that production and disposal of aluminum & plastic to carry sugar water one can make at home with simple syrup and flavoring.

At some point we have to force ourselves to look beyond the emotional masturbation we’ve all been subjected to by TV & parents if society is going to move along.

That’s exactly how’s it’s moved along in the past. A true free market of ideas demands it.

We need to get nation states on board and in order to do that must tell aristocrats that the future has no place for them.
Fruit juice is different from sugar water in some ways (for example, apple juice has sorbitol, which promotes bowel movement), but in my view the differences don't matter and they should both be covered under this ban. That much sugar with no bulk is just unnatural and should be viewed as a dessert.

>There is no big picture. There is only hill climbing and getting stuck on local maxima constantly.

This really nicely describes why I think so much software becomes bloated. You see this with startups all the time--at first the product is hacky/clunky/lacking features, then after some time and love it does a small set of things really, really well and is truly a joy to use, and then later on it becomes slow, bloated, and trying to do far too much and ends up doing many things unremarkablely rather than a few things well (the opposite of "half, not half-assed").

I think that last stage happens when you have individual teams A/B testing new changes independently and hacking on each new piece without much thought to the overarching cohesiveness of the product. All the incentives naturally align toward this too, so it takes some really strong leadership to prevent it and have a broader product vision that supercedes all the local optima of each individual team's features.

(As a side note, this also often happens when the software/startup needs to be monetized)
Yes it does.

It's okay to say something with the same words as an idiom, without using the idiom.

The idiom was a mistake/mistranslation in the first place.

You're trying to push people away from the correct use of the word 'begs' into an incorrect use just because it's tradition.
My favorite is getting throat-punched by a big juicy bug at 70 miles per hour. But yeah, getting one of those in the face (and near/in the eye especially) is something you do not want to happen.
A biometric identifies you. An identity does not inherently authenticate you.

Identification is knowing which account to log in. dustinmoris, User123 or user124.

That alone is useless, as anyone who knows your name could log in. So we need to add security to authenticate you. To authenticate with reasonable certainty that the person accessing dustinmoris actually is Dustin Moris, at this moment willingly accessing their own account, willingly transferring £1m to NeedMoreTea. :)

Now, it's certainly true that biometrics are uniquely associated with you, but prove identity not authentication - bear with me here.

You leak DNA and fingerprints all over the place, constantly. Fingerprints have even been picked up from photos. That makes fingerprints surprisingly weak authentication. Face IDs have been fooled by video and photos. I'm not at all current on what the state of the art on FaceID hacking and devices is, so can't say more there. In a police interview they can place your thumb on the phone or wave phone under your face. Maybe borrow your thumb while you sleep to transfer that £1m. The bank will say you fully authenticated it, in their highly secure app, you will deny it.

In combining biometrics as identification and authentication we've compromised the system. It does not give certainty, or even especially high confidence. If motivated, anyone in your office could lift a print while you're out. Computer or phone says Dustin Moris is believed awake and accessing, but you're certainly not doing so willingly, nor can you resist if just a touch or look unlocks. In this context, your wife might easily pick up on whether you were willing in a police interview or not, the phone can't, because mere identification is the unlock.

With a password they have to persuade you to reveal it. It is very easy to not leak passwords accidentally on PostIts, and manage the complex with a password manager. The police can certainly beat it out of you, but most places are supposed to have rules against that. Many places actually honour those rules. A judge might question the bruises and missing teeth.

For a lot of people that's a fine distinction that doesn't matter, the convenience of it probably being you willingly unlocking the phone with your thumb is good enough. If security actually matters, it's not.

Considering writing an introduction to BLS (bureau of labor statistics) data, including the tech to ingest the data automatically for usage.

The above is part of a wider project of mine to bring together as many sources of macro-economic data as possible into one database.

Having a personal copy of such interesting data sources to query, and find patterns within, with the agility of SQL feels powerful to me, so I have been exploring that.

Before you say that, ask yourself which use is actually using the word "beg" correctly.
I think there are two (but kind of four) sides: US/EU vs. Russia/China. The EU is following the US because of its culture that it can relate to more. But it neither trust or likes the US; nor is happy with the US enemy being on its own border. China is following Russia because they have a better military. Russia probably doesn't trust China; not a single bit. But their economy is garbage and they'll need financial help to build more war toys.

The rest of the world is fragmented and not quite unified. I see the rest of the countries as trying to manage their internal problems while staying off the radar as much as practically possible; and they'll bow down to the leader whoever it is right now. (See FATCA and the current Chinese expansion in Africa).
I have a very similar anecdote. I had a long conversation with a friend who is a high school science teacher. She told me that computer literacy has plummeted in the last ten years.

She has her students go into the field and collect data in the form of photos, spreadsheets, and typed reports. She wants students to bundle these files in zip files, and email them to her.

Students have no idea how to do this. Some of them struggle with emails. She has had to make her tutorials on this longer and longer. And she has also been forced to start accepting assignments as a pile of attachments, because so few students understand zip files.
They should also penalize gluten-containing products (and that's not just foods, e.g. shampoo may contain gluten too). Google zonulin, leaky gut, wheat belly and microbiome diet to find out why.
The Budapest Memorandum has nothing to do with the EU.

It was signed by Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Russia, the USA, and the UK. And signed in a country that only joined the EU a decade later.
It's not, though. To counter your original point, a corporation could decide to not appease China, even if it means a loss in profits. They could justify it any number of ways, saying the US market may be more valuable to their company, or that trade tensions with China make things unstable. There is no legal basis forcing companies to appease China.

Regarding your second thought—one obvious way a checksum helps in gracefully handling invalid files is that a checksum pass/fail decisively rules out with a problem occurred during the data transfer.

This is fantastic. I would like to see wider legislation allowing scraping of IMDB, Genius, Reddit, Facebook, and Google made legal. These services receive free input from users. The data should remain free.

Edit (sort of off topic): There's still value in the building and providing services at scale, but this lowers the barrier to cross the moat for small players. The first step is data liberation. Then we can work to bring down the other cost barriers. It's a lot easier to build services that scale in 2019 than it was in 2005.

The semantic web was misguided in 200X, but we might want to take another swing at it in the future.
My main one as a remote worker of a non-remote company: don't leave your remote workers out-of-the-loop of design or api changes.

>This is a ‘slippery slope’ fallacy, and your example even demonstrates its unlikelihood.

That's the point. Change happens either through a revolution or a "slippery slope". You can call it a fallacy all you want, but think about how successful political change happens. Almost every instance starts small and keeps pushing the boundaries until the political change has happened. This is how you change people's values, so calling it a fallacy as though that's supposed to invalidate it isn't enough.

>And I don’t know of a country where smoking is entirely banned.

It has just been made exceedingly expensive, just like alcohol. To the degree that the vast majority of the cost is in taxes.

Furthermore, this is a long process. Just because they haven't been banned yet doesn't mean that it's not going to happen in the future.

>And I don’t know of a country where smoking is entirely banned.

Bhutan and Turkmenistan have banned the sale of tobacco. The aims of some countries, such as Finland, is to become tobacco free.

Countries are also doing things such as banning flavorings of tobacco. So would your argument then be that it's not a slippery slope, because they aren't actually going to ban sugary drinks, they'll just ban sugary drinks with flavorings?
> I have a very similar anecdote. I had a long conversation with a friend who is a high school science teacher. She told me that computer literacy has plummeted in the last ten years.

I suspect it is the same progression as any other new technology that undergoes mainstreaming. Take automobiles for example. In the early days if you owned a car you either made yourself something of an expert (and if you were an early buyer you were probably kind of an enthusiast already) or you hired one. Today outside of enthusiast circles they are just an appliance: you get in, turn it on, and go do whatever it is you need to do.
I don't know how you'd even begin to answer that question, unless the answer is either a complete dismissal of animal pain, or a total ban on animal testing.

Otherwise, I suppose you'd have to somehow quantify the total pain experienced and figure out how to minimize it. Which, frankly, seems impossible to do.
So true, humor is essential to (my) life though.
