The thesis of the book is that mass media acts or editorializes on behalf of the powerful in society- not just that their 'incentives are aligned'. The book is about the specific actions that media companies supposedly take. So, pointing out all of the times that mass media has acted orthogonally to powerful interests in society (publishing the Pentagon Papers, publishing the Snowden revelations, the current run of publishing ultra-critical pieces about tech companies, etc.) would be relevant counter-examples.

Zooming out slightly, handwaving everyone who's wealthy or powerful in the US into 'elites' that are sort of one fused organic unit with identical interests is just bad, sloppy thinking, sorry. Wall Street, Silicon Valley, the military, Fortune 500 corporations, Hollywood, New York/DC-media companies, Ivy League universities- they're all 'elites' and they are competing, at times hostile power centers to each other. I don't take any analysis that smushes them into 'elites' or 'the 1%' or whatever seriously. (For example, the 'mass media' that Chomsky handwaves- a more precise description would be New York/DC media moguls- is actively hostile to Silicon Valley these days. Many of these power centers actively compete. His categories are absurdly broad)

Huh? Rape is definitely a thing, and it's as illegal as assault. I don't think assaulting someone is much harder, and ignoring the consequences seems to be an odd thing to leave out.

It's signicantly easier to have sex than commit assault, it's not like the police will stop you (consent permitting, of course). Sure, you need to find a willing partner, but that isnt exactly the biggest hurdle that has ever been faced.
I have no idea how good it is. Probably not very, but it's a decent paying job where I live, upper levels of what devs make.

So you're not trusting the salaried employee to use their judgement on how best to utilize their time, but instead assuming they instead use their skill to be a butt in a seat and working for at least 40 hours? What's special about the salary then? It's just easier than an hourly system?

It seems like a huge part of criminal investigation is tracing opportunity and motive, and only then proving that the suspect was involved. We conflate filtering with proving all the time. Filtering strategies don't have to hold up in court. They don't have to prove anything, except whether I'm definitely looking at the wrong guy(s). The evidence gathered after I've filtered down to 5 supects is the stuff I'd be using in court. I (proverbial "I", as I'm not in law enforcement) need Due Process for every step after that.

If you can narrow a suspect pool from millions down to hundreds by showing they were at the same 'location' as the perpetrator, that's not great but it's surely a start.

Just don't break the chain. Kids are all about consistency in my experience.

Putting the kids to sleep at 8 doesn't mean going to bed at 8pm myself.

Again we keep a strict schedule. Dinner at 6, bedtime reading at 7.30, light out at 8.00.

Weekends we are a little less strict yet they normally wake up at 6 anyway because they are used to it.

All it requires is the same kind of prioritization and effort we put into so many other things we care about.

It could be handy for a digital assitant to know when you're near the phone. You could use a particular motion to wake it for audio input rather than a button or having the phone always listening for audio. You could possibly use it for presenting slides, or have it measure a piece of wood or string or fabric or a package for you.
It's slightly more complicated than that.

If unwashed eggs have been refrigerated, they should be kept in refrigerated until use, as the bloom can be degraded just by the condensation that occurs when refrigerated eggs return to room temperature.

A particularly pernicious practice here in Australia, where regulations dictate that eggs are not washed, but grocery stores and supermarkets are frequently found to be keeping their eggs refrigerated during 'back room' storage, but returning them to non-refrigerated aisle shelves prior to selling them.

Talking to staff at various markets, it seems no one understands why this is bad (for the consumer). I expect we'll see a gradual increase in food poisoning incidents that will be hard to track down root cause.

However it is important to not romanticize anything on the Internet too hard, speaking from my own disappointment. Hacker News for the duration that it is here is a valuable resource. Exploit it while you can, and be prepared to move on when you can’t.

Get some mushrooms, everything else is going to be more risky and a lot more like a hard drug use situation experientially.

You can grind up mushrooms and steep them like a tea, or just eat them as-is. It's nothing like using drugs, more like consuming a food that has an odd effect then just goes away once it's passed through.

Also, start small, it's useful for acclimating to the whole experience. And you might find what you're looking for without even taking a full psychedelic dose. Microdosing shrooms is still quite active, much like drinking a cup of coffee is.

> There is no public transit (bus, light rail, tram, trolley - all of which we have) within 2 miles of the high school.

The way it works in Australia (at least in the parts of Australia I've lived in, obviously can't speak for the whole country) – as well as the scheduled route bus services scheduled for general transport needs, we have special school bus services dedicated[1] to taking kids to/from school. But, the school bus services and the route bus services are run by the same bus company, using the same pool of buses and drivers. So, even if there is no regular bus route going near a school, doesn't mean they can't run a school service to/from it.

In other words, if a public transit system provides ordinary bus routes, why can't the same public transit system (using same buses and drivers) provide special school services?

[1] Strictly speaking, at least in NSW, they aren't completely dedicated to school kids, since in theory any adult can buy a fare on them–but, in practice, very few adults ever do that.
I lived 5 years in Glasgow to get my engineering diploma, coming from a quiet village from the french countryside. It was a shock when I arrived there, barely speaking english, having never lived in a city before, but my god I loved this city so much.

Weather is depressing as hell, violence is common, the food is the worst I ever tasted and there is still this silly war between catholic and protestant. But glaswegians are so friendly, and the city is so mad that I felt so alive there. Living there was surreal every time of the day, from the morning hangover, the awful food to the mad parties at night.

Having said that, I never saw myself raising a family there, Glasgow is just too much of everything.
That'd be pretty to think so, but the wide majority of the Satmar community lives in poverty and is dependent on government benefits. The tendency towards entrepreneurship -- if there is one -- is more likely to be the result of being unwilling or unable to assimilate into a non-religious society.

And I am not paying premiums. I simply prefer web apps over native apps, it's a breeze with PWAs.
It takes a LOT of influence to directly affect culture at a company. If you don't have the amount of influence the best you can hope to do is spread and promote the ideas; just like in society. Except, it's a bit easier to change jobs than to change the society you live in :)

Hi there! I'm one of the authors of the work. I can assure you the numbers are not incorrect: random search did not achieve good results in the semantic segmentation experiment. We had similar skepticism with reviewers at ICLR initially, and our new experiments convinced them.

Random search is a good alternative and it did produce good results for the car counting experiment. We do not claim that RL is the best way to solve the problem at any point in our work. We just observe that random search did not perform well in the segmentation experiment while RL did perform well in all of our experiments. We think the RL formulation is a good one since it is flexible (can be easily adapted to neural network policies with thousands of weights for example).

Hope this helped!

I'm not an anti-drug puritan. (That would be so so hypocritical.) I think the criminalization of e.g. MDMA and the others is deeply foolish and has done a lot of harm. (To make an understatement. Frankly, I think you should be able to get clean liquid acid or MDMA at the local pharmacy. Why not? "Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do with my brain chemistry if I'm not hurting anyone?", eh?)

I don't want to take anything away from people, I just want us to think clearly about what's really going on when these kind of excellent results occur.

In the excitement over the successes with MDMA we shouldn't overlook things like Emotional Freedom Technique or Feldenkrais Technique that have also had wonderful successes with PTSD and yet don't involve ingesting substances. If we do, we risk missing out on the essential aspects of effective therapy.
There's not a lot of reason to stick with micro USB even for hobbyist projects. You can get USB-C "charging" receptacles that only breakout 6 contacts in any combination of SMD/PTH on the contacts and the mounting pins. Even in tiny quantities they're less than $0.10/ea on aliexpress. If you just want 5V you don't need to deal with PD, just stick 5K1 resistors to GND on each of the CC1 and CC2 pins (don't cheap out like the Raspberry Pi4 did and tie the CC pins together to save on a second resistor, or you'll end up with the same problems as they did).

They should be just as easy to route and hand-solder and the footprint should be just as compatible with low-end pcb services as any micro-usb connector, and it will allow you to use a better USB-C cable as your power connector.

If you also want the USB2 D+/D- lines broken out you can get USB-C connectors with 16-contact pinouts (everything but the SS pins).
It all really depends how quickly you plan to consume the items.

I remember doing some research on language for a psychology course in college and I think it's important to warn hacker news that the expieriences people have with nouns being more intuitive and fundamental is absolutely not a cultural universal. Westerners place unusual emphasis on nouns and while it may be that "get" is less specific than "item_id" in English, it may be more be the opposite if you speak a language that has specific and concrete verbs and abstract nouns. This is one of those times where your intuition about what is logical and obvious might be wrong.

WireGuard was reinstated after Jason has submitted a new version which does not contain a donation link. The issue has not been solved, and Google did not yet contact maintainers to clarify whether they would be allowed to have a donation link in WireGuard.

Several other open source apps are still missing from Google Play, including andOTP.

While WireGuard was bought back online, version 0.0.20191013 was briefly made available (with a donation link) before it got updated to version 0.0.20191016. Again, the current version of WireGuard does not contain a donation link.

This is the original version of the post, which has become inaccurate minutes after it was posted:

> WireGuard has been reinstated [1], and the donation link is in the app menu (version 0.0.20191013).

> Google has reversed its decision to remove an app that contains a link to a donation page, likely because of public scrutiny.

> I'm hopeful that people will continue to seek answers for why Google has begun to remove these open source apps, there are several of them mentioned in this thread alone. Please don't allow this to go unnoticed, the future of a bunch of less popular open source projects may depend on how this issue is perceived by the public, and addressed by Google.

I have struggled to understand how this proclivity can be evolutionarily possible and the only thing I can come up with is this unfortunate combination of elements:

1) the necessary sexual dimorphism that makes sexual reproduction possible, actually took an unfortunate shortcut: childlike features are retained in females (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny), which ostensibly requires "less" DNA encoding, while males actually "develop" into more "adult" forms (body hair, musculature, height, deeper voice, etc.)

2) the reproductive window of women is far smaller than men, causing men of all ages to be drawn mainly to this small subselection of all women

3) consequently, men who were more likely to choose women in this younger reproductive window might have been selected for;

4) some portion of these men (due to natural variation), in being drawn to the paedomorphic features of women, actually are "steered too low" in preferential age genetically and are thus born having to deal with this unfortunate proclivity.

Ethical question: If no children were harmed and 100% of the videos and images produced were synthetic, would simply consumption of the media still be a problem?
> The terms could even include an up-front cash payment that looks not dissimilar to a sale.

that's an interesting point. whether or not they structure it as an upfront payment, there's still an opportunity for people to grab a ton of leases, do nothing with the land, and essentially arbitrage the government rent. I guess you couldn't really eliminate this behavior, but you could limit it by the shortening the length of the lease term. of course, if the term is too short and the government is free to pick a different lessee next, it might be uneconomic to actually build anything.
I can't tell if you are trying to troll here. So you reject the notion of branchless coding as a premature optimization because you think it is going to be made irrelevant by a potential future microcode update? Or are you saying that a C++ interpreter/JIT would have made this branchless at run-time, but that optimization isn't made at compile time?
