A well honed skill set in 'ML' isn't even about the algorithms or data structures or any of that. If you want to be competitive in ML, study and think about experimental design, and what it takes to be able to confidently state the accuracy, precision, and reproducibility of a given analysis when you apply it to real world data.

The biggest issue/ liability with most 'AI'/'ML' is unsubstantiated/ irreproducible results that come from not being rigorous with ones experimental design.
As long as it's limited to school devices and school email/chat, I don't see the problem. Maybe it's just me, but my dad instilled in me early on that anything I do on the internet is there permanently for anyone who cares enough to see.

The problem arises from immediate action on the part of the administrators, stemming from zero-tolerance policies that are usually present. Exercising restraint with respect to these tools would lead to better outcomes, in my opinion.

The story of how the Prime Meridian was chosen has a similar flavor of controversy. There was a conference in 1884 to decide where it would be, and a large portion of the discussion concerned France's opinion that it should be in a neutral place, not cutting any continent or major population center.

France wanted it to go through the Bering Strait or the Azores, and made the argument that the SI meter (introduced nearly 100 years before) was a truly neutral measure, being based on one ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. Other delegates answered that its is still a French system, because it was France that took the measurement and introduced French error into it.

Ultimately practical concerns won out, as 70% of the world's shipping and charts were already using Greenwich as the meridian, and for any other place to truly be a meridian there would need to be an observatory there with telegraph links to the rest of the world.

Another gem is the part where the Spanish delegate expressed that he had been authorized to vote for Greenwich as the meridian, but was doing so in the hope that England and the United States will accept the metric system. The president replies that this is outside the scope of the conference, to which the Spanish delegate replies that they know this, and anyway protocol doesn't allow them to vote on "hopes" anyway, but he just needed to say it.

Although Greenwich was chosen, France was a holdout and didn't adopt it until 1911, and even then did not call it "Greenwich Time", but rather "Paris Mean Time retarded by nine minutes and 21 seconds." This was their official designation until they adopted UTC. The UK on the other hand still calls their time GMT legally, even though they are actually using UTC now, which is not precisely the same as GMT!

I can confirm to people that it will only get not only way worse with the surveillance, but under the guise of various forms of tailoring or recommendation system based learning, nefarious actors will use education to condition people to be trained serve the ruling class's interests; regardless of how that may manifest itself at any given time, but will always serve the global ruling class interests.

One may foolishly feel like that mass surveillance and conditioning of students to serve ruling class interests may be a good thing because one is foolish enough to think that "i'm on the good team", but reality is that not only can the other side end up swooping in and take over that wonderful system of total control that was set up, but that "good" team one thinks one is part of, may just, as history is replete with examples of, turn out to not actually be all that good at all once all the power has foolishly been handed to them and the gullible useful idiots are no longer needed.

Regardless of what your political views are, all of us, regardless of how diametrically opposed our views may be, should be extremely worried about so much power concentrating in the hands of anyone at all, let alone in an outfit as prone to fits of totalitarian tyranny when it does not get what it demands as any government.

If Tim Berners-Lee and others are not successful at redistributing the internet and the inept governments does not want to act on the technology corporation tyrants because politicians are too busy salivating over the prospect of total ruling class government control over society, then this is all not going to end well for anyone but the highest echelons of the ruling global aristocracy, that will usher in a new demigod era of humanity.

So if the total number of Haskell projects is not also going up, then we must conjecture that people are getting worse and worse at Haskell.

How is the censorship going to work with Starlink? Twitter is heavily censored in many countries like Turkey.

Other countries censor other things, be it on political, commercial or "criminal" grounds.

Yes, that is exactly what happens when you use a VPN. Only services like primevideo and Netflix bother to detect VPNs and force you to get off, 99% of the web treats you like a regular user, but with an insane diversity of interests.

The trades originate from elsewhere around the world.
The big operative difference is that under the Control regime, the regulator decides what practices are acceptable. Under the Liability regime, the acceptability of practices depends more directly on their effectiveness (with more or less directness depending on the type of liability).

A Liability regime would encourage companies to be actually secure, because they're responsible for what happens to data that is lost. A Control regime would encourage companies to check boxes from a list provided by a regulator. A Liability regime encourages being pro-active vs reactive to the regulator in a Control regime.

There are middle grounds, like HIPAA or GDPR. Both give companies some leeway in terms of creating their own checkboxes, and fines are for actual breaches, not just improper process.

No relation between temperature and CO2 levels.

Also, it's rather unlikely that for a system as complex as the climate there would be only one control knob.

because working 5 hours a week on your pet project vs working 40 hours on it is a big difference.

if the project is under a Free Software license, who cares who actually owns the copyright? you can still use the code. sure, ownership does make some difference, but that's a tradeoff i am willing to make.

also, if you start the project on your own and get hired by a company later, they will only own the portion of the code that you wrote after you joined them. you still own everything you created before that point, so if they want to do anything with the code that violates the license, they still have to ask your permission, and if you don't agree, you can still jump ship at that point, and you are no worse off than before taking the job.
> If there is no relevant difference, then OAuth2 isn't a standard either. Happy now?

In the sense that you've reached the conclusion that your definition of "standard" isn't sufficiently universal to discuss the topic because you've excluded what is generally accepted to be a widely-accepted authorization standard that lacked the controversy over socioeconomic control that the EME standard does, yes.

Trying to short-circuit debate by bullying the field of definitions and declaring the other viewpoint "propaganda" isn't constructive.
They have not cancelled the plans to use lasers, but have delayed the introduction of lasers until "satellite version 2.0", whatever that means.

That is, the initial constellation (my guess, the first 800 satellites) goes up without intersat links and acts as a bent pipe only. Lasers are still very much a plan for the later parts on the constellation, and the laserless satellites will eventually be replaced with ones with the lasers once they age out, but the laser links were simply not ready yet and their spectrum license essentially forces them to put the birds up on as quick a schedule as they can.

The laserless sats will not use radio to communicate with each other, but rather will use it to communicate with customers and fixed earth stations.

Is it really that much worse than C or JS? Most popular languages other than Python use () and {}, <> are just for generics like many other languages, " is used for strings, - is just a minus sign, and _ is just used when you need to ignore something when matching just like it is used in Python.

Yes, Rust is a very symbol rich language, but it also is very information dense which makes it easier to read than many other languages once you learn it.

I've been pretty happy with the following setup:

I have a domain at namecheap, which forwards my address (say foo@bar.com) to my gmail account.
I use fetchmail from my home computer to bring the gmail content to my local mail server (dovecot), which serves it out to me via imaps.

That means there is usually very little sitting in gmail, and it can accumulate there for a while when I have to do maintenance on my home OpenBSD server (which is quite rare and doesn't last very long generally).

That means I can keep my email address "forever" (it'll always stay foo@bar.com) but I can switch out of gmail anytime I want, as long as the provider I switch to allows POP.

It also means I can take advantage of the spam filtering provided by gmail. I also take advantage of the "advanced parsing" they perform on my mail, but my default assumption is that anybody in the chain will be doing it anyways, so I have no illusions that switching out of gmail will help prevent any data mining.

Respectfully, I disagree. This case was heard by a magistrate, the "Tier 1" of the judicial system. There are multiple levels of appeal available after the initial hearing is concluded.

Magistrates in this scenario (dealing with extradition matters) sit alone so yes, it is theoretically possible to have a "kangaroo court" at first instance, however if the judge was unreasonable or erred in law or fact, it would be swiftly corrected by the High Court (Queen's Bench Division - Criminal) or the Supreme Court by way of appeal.

These two courts sit as a panel. The High Court typically has three judges on the bench, while the Supreme Court has 11. It is theoretically easy to influence a single judge; it is much harder to inappropriately influence three or 11 to get a majority verdict in your favour.

There are no suggestions that the judge here was improperly influenced and if they were, they would be subject to disciplinary proceedings by the Office for Judicial Conduct. It goes without saying that the case would also be ruled a mistrial and another judge would handle it all over again.

As a future British lawyer, I don't see what filming the proceedings would bring to the judicial system in terms of legitimacy.

Court transcripts are publicly available, anyone can come to the hearings (unless it's a closed session which is rare) and report on the events. Justice is seen to be done, and filming appears largely inappropriate for the vast majority of cases proceeding through the judicial system in my opinion.

You are sensationalizing and taking things out of context.

I said wrestling is an effective team building tool. If you are trying to settle on which version of React to use in a project, weigh out the pros and cons in an office. If you are looking to work more effectively with some of your coworkers wrestling, or any other form of grappling martial-art (I've enjoyed BJJ), is a valid option. In case you aren't aware of what this is, it's essentially playing three-dimensional chess with your opponent until someone ends up in a physical checkmate. It's fun, respectful, good exercise, and great for building camaraderie - as I mentioned. I'm not talking about scrapping things out in the parking lot like a couple of high schoolers. If you'd rather play actual chess, that's also a valid option. At a previous company, my team did a break-out room together. Do what works for you.

"Eagerly awaiting a challenge" from someone you are disagreeing with on the internet is inciting a challenge, in a very childish way.

I believe your statement is incorrect. While it may no longer scan emails for direct ad serving purposes, I believe emails are still scanned for other purposes.

For example, I remember running across a purchase history page a while back that had saved purchase history data based on email confirmations in gmail. IIRC, it was from specific sellers like Amazon going further back than my gmail history, which I periodically purge. I never wanted/enabled this 'feature' and saw no way to disable or delete the purchase history. Maybe this stopped, maybe it didn't, but this game of whack-a-mole with Google has gotten tedious.
In my experience, liability doesn't make anything secure (see: Health Sector), it just makes people afraid to innovate.
