>the US's handling of nudity and swear words is absolutely bizarre to me as a European and as someone from the US you might think the restriction on speech and use of symbols many places in Europe have go too far.

Does the law in the US actually regulate that? I was under the assumption that the nudity prohibition on TV and such was simply a voluntary measure. Facebook is welcome to allow it at any moment, they just choose not to, in order to prevent it from becoming a porn repository. I could be totally wrong on this one, but it makes sense, and it explains why it is still totally allowed elsewhere.

Similar to how videogame ratings in the US issued by ESRB are not legally binding and are just a voluntary system that stores use, to decide which games to carry (e.g., most stores won't be carrying Adults Only rated games) and who to sell them to.
It's also lethally good for consolidating their lead in tech and manufacturing cost. Fossil car manufacturers have been given the apparent gift of lower gas prices, but this is really a curse in disguise.

While fossil-fueled cars may now be a good cost proposition for a few years more, this means that there will be even less incentive for the established manufacturers to develop their EV programs. Meanwhile, Tesla keeps charging ahead, investing billions per year and iterating with feedback from three generations of vehicles in the field. Battery prices were dropping 14% per year even before Tesla's insane R&D programs. It won't stop.

Assuming Tesla can stay somewhat profitable and don't hit any liquidity-induced catastrophes on the way, the established manufacturers will be in big trouble when the other shoe drops along with a possible oil price comeback in a few years. This has been two decades in the making, but everyone will still act surprised when EVs are suddenly the obviously best option.

Part of Nvidia's advantage comes from building the hardware and software side by side. No one was seriously tackling GPGPU until Nvidia created Cuda, and if you look at the rest of the graphics stack Nvidia is the one driving the big innovations.

GPUs are sufficiently specialized in both interface and problem domain that GPU enhanced software is unlikely to appear without a large vendor driving development, and it would be tough for that vendor to fund application development if there is no lock in on the chips.

which leads to the real question. What business model would enable GPU/AI software development without hardware lock-in? Game development has found a viable business by charging game publishers.
>Why is that in any way depressing?

It does indicate a culture where there aren't massive barriers to getting changes in.

I worked at one startup on the AI team, and we were allowed to deploy at will, we iterated constantly, pushed multi times a day, and had a flat hierarchy. We weren't under the political umbrella of the engineering and product groups. It was definitely risky but no major issues ever came from it and we gained the trust of DevOps team and our CTO.

The back end team, different managers, was very hierarchical, had to schedule deploys well in advance and inside certain time windows, and non technical engineering managers would monitor and send summary emails to everyone after each deploy.

Guess what, that back end team sucked. Their timelines for features were embarrassingly long, they watched the clock, their managers loved to booze, they overcomplicated the architecture and never produced anything innovative for the company.

Deploys can signal culture.

I will be watering with a hose as well, at first. If I waited until I had a drip-line system in place, I wouldn't have enough warm season left to get very much yield from whatever I managed to get planted.

Well, you didn't draw a penis...
I drew an elephant. Somehow it recognized that it was an elephant. Then it started erasing the elephant while blathering on about something free speech.

I honestly don't understand what this is. Is it a trick to see if I actually will draw a penis (reverse psychology)? How does it recognize an elephant? Why did it erase my elephant? What is it blathering on about?

> Email providers already tell people sending email when an address is real or not. You clicking the link would tell them you read your email.

My bad for lack of clarity.

I meant whether the address has a person reading it, making it a more valuable target, perhaps added to a commercially sold database.

I don't know if or how much this happens. But it's obviously an available signal.

> If your account has been in existence for long enough, you already get a lot of spam.

True! I got 6000 spam a day at one point. Thankfully it went down to 1000 a day and has slowed since.

> It just gets blocked or filtered.

Unfortunately not so well. The vast majority is filtered, but that still leaves too much getting through (I got about 80 in the last 45 hours), and in conjunction with such a high level of false positives that good things go to the spam bucket, a problem both as a recipient and a sender.

Gmail is not immune either; I often find critical false positives in my Gmail spam folder.

Spam is not a solved problem, and the solutions are causing other problems.

I don't have solutions, but I don't agree that it's "just" blocked or filtered. If only email was that reliable!
Maybe you shouldn't write huge blocks of text about yourself in threads that are supposed to be focused on a specific topic.
Ha, I drew the first thing that came to mind: a shovel. I shortly realized that it probably looked like a penis, surprisingly the voice realized it was a shovel. Well done!
Thanks! Trying to make it as simple as possible.
I honestly don't know if this is because I'm dumb or I'm smart, or maybe the work context I developed in, but personally interruptions don't really screw up my flow much. The only time it really causes me to lose focus is if the interruption has a high emotional reaction.

I don't like interrupting others but at some point I wonder if some just don't do anything if they're not in "flow". I think it's important to be able to make progress when you're not in a flow state. Its a skill.

Please don't put words in my mouth. My life is hard enough without that.

I never expected anything to be easy. Just possible.

My Patreon sits at around $150/month and I get the occasional tip while I get accused of being a beggar for expecting pay for my writing at all when all other doors are effectively closed to me for various reasons.

I recently quit my local volunteer work in meat space because that, also, wasn't leading to an adequate income. It's a long, sordid tale, but boils down to the same problem dynamics I have everywhere: People value my work but don't want to pay me for it.

They end up thinking I do it because I "care" and and they are actively affronted by the idea that I want to make money at it. I get read as very motherly and all this shit and people want me to do things for them out of "love." Meanwhile, no one "loves" me enough to give a damn about the fact that I have literally gone hungry at times and literally had no housing for years. No one is doing a fundraiser for me out of compassion. Etc ad nauseum.

I don't think it's easy for me. But I do know it is possible for men and I'm just as competent as any man here and can't get the right doors open that lead to an adequate income while I am given a zillion excuses, which boils down to people justifying the awful way in which this community has treated me for more than a decade.

I know of a MtF trans youth who had no trouble whatsoever opening doors and getting money out of people here. I can't do the same and I am treated with enormous suspicion and contempt for even trying to figure it out.

The couple of times I've made something with Mongo, I've always just found myself defining a schema in the source code anyway. As long as some code eventually reads the data there's no such thing as "no schema", there's just "multiple" or "less precise" schemas: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/Databas...

All this is to say: from a software engineering standpoint I like defining my schema rigidly at the DB level. The added flexibility that NoSQL provides is not something I actually find desirable. That said, I've never had to share one of these DBs with other programmers.
I think these five moderators share power with the other moderators on each subreddit and each subreddit's mods can see each other's actions. Does this put this into the former category?

As far as what happened here the moderator for /r/interestingasfuck has been talking about it. He seems pretty open to answer questions. Maybe he could be asked if he gets paid to moderate?
I have no idea what you are trying to say with that. Perhaps you could try to clarify so I can try to better communicate what my point of view is here.

This highlights an interesting opportunity? How could one create a protocol/platform that can be taught to someone now, and yet continue being used by people who can no longer learn as new 'features' are added? Thinking about some sort of 'news feed'/notifications list with simple button options that could be extended by various services to include new functionality while remaining within a consistent and learnable interface, so users wouldn't have to re-learn interfaces for each service.
I've talked some friends into using <3 instead of :( to express sympathy, for exactly this reason.

This is one of the many bullshit excuses I get for why it's okay for no one here to break with tradition and somehow find some way to reach out to me and help me solve this. It amounts to a silencing technique: We don't really want to know what poor people or women or whatever think.

No opinions allowed except those of "the right kind of people" supported in "the right way" which pretty much guarantees that the status quo will be reinforced.

Completely agree.

I believe that we need to reframe the debate around manufacturing from one about jobs to one about national security.

This mentally frees us to fully invest in manufacturing automation, which will neutralize any labor cost advantages China and other countries may have.

I tried to see what objects would be recognized incorrectly as a penis. Among what I tried: pencil (no), banana (yes), bacteriophage (no), ebola (no), uterus (no), sperm (no), pinnochio (yes), skyscraper (no), saguaro (no), racecar (no), flying saucer (no), rocketship (no), NCC-1701 (no), TIE fighter (no), Serenity (no), Amazon logo (no).

I was very surprised at pinnochio. It had two eyes and a nose and a big smile. Yet the AI saw something completely different.

Thanks! The website lists all of the "watchable" movies by all popular (and not so) animation studios, including Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, Ghibli, etc. and it has almost all of the animations listed, except those that got 6 or worse ratings on IMDb. I thought this is going to be useful especially when you don't want to go search and browse dozens of webpages on what to watch or listen to or do... and it's highly optimized, even though it can be slow because I don't use CDN (but blazingly fast in Europe).

You've also listed movies (not animated) which I didn't add, yet. Probably need a different category called "Movies" and the current one rename to "Animated Films". But I'm already working on other things (a different project), and suddenly don't have time to maintain this project (it's not dead, though!), because I'm bad at advertising and probably no one knows about this website's existence :') Thanks for recommending it, though! I'll figure it out

> The problem is being dishonest about your motivations.

Having seen people work on similar problems first hand, I doubt there is any dishonesty involved. There are two groups of people involved here: investors and builders. The investors are the ones out to make money, but many of the rank and file doers that are actually doing the building genuinely believe in the good they are doing in the world. I seen't it... many times.

Heck, I've worked on such projects where I'm genuinely proud of the positive change I made in the world. Was I paid for it? Yes. Was I motivated by money? Yes. Was I also motivated by doing something good and meaningful? Yes. Being motivated by making money and doing good in the World are not mutually exclusive.

Those who wrote this blog post are very likely those whose involvement is at least partially motivated by doing good in the world.
Assuming your project supported continuous development, I'd probably say you should break that project up into multiple deployments, ideally hidden behind a flag and each easily revertable. This would reduce the risk of each step and hopefully eliminate a whole host of potential incidents.
> where to ask to spy ... clearly a foot in the door moment.

No. Not sure what people aren't getting about this, but governments have always been able to pressure Apple and Google (and they've been doing it all along). The existence of this API changes nothing.

And when governments do pressure Apple and Google, it isn't for this API, BTW. They want much more useful and immediate information than this API provides.
No, this decision does not invent new law (though courts do in fact make law, and it is seen as appropriate for them to do so, both under common law and since Marbury, so inventing new law, had they done so, wouldn't necessarily be innovating). The decision specifically cites the parts of Wisconsin code that apply to rulemaking and why Emergency Order 28 is a rule and not an order. Simply quoting from one part of the Wisconsin code ignoring the other parts that apparently apply (certainly, according to the Wisc. S.C.), is not enough to win an argument.
Hilarious, but true!
I feel like there's the Ikea (or Target/WalMart) furniture that's basically disposable, you can take it home in your small car, cheap, but will probably break if you move it or disassemble it. It's great in college or after when moving between multiple apartments. It's flat-pak, all the materials are thinner so the design follows that.

After settling down I wanted to invest more in furniture that wouldn't break or slide around. It definitely costs 3-5x more, looks better, but isn't great quality either. It's not flat-pak, cant be disassembled, wont fit in your car. I don't know if my calibration is off for what decent furniture should cost, or if everything started cheaping out years ago, but it seems like the worst of both worlds. The design is nice, but since it's wood veneer you can't really touch it up or repair it because the fiber board is showing through. I'm not sure where to find decent furniture. I feel like I'd have to pay through the nose for something bespoke.
The problem is that US zoning and finance has basically killed off the small upstart developer; think of the general concept of a house flipper, but instead of remodeling the interior they replace one home with two or three smaller homes on the same lot.

This still happens on a smaller scale in older urban areas, simply because price per square foot in places like New York make it hard to assemble a full city block unless you have half a billion on hand, and even if you did land parcels don't become available all at once like that.

This type of "missing middle" development still happens where I currently live in Seattle to a limited extent, but I would really like to see regulations limiting horizontal massing of individual buildings to prevent this problem.
