The problem with modern society is everyone's a master of plausible deniability. Our obsession with legalism over plain ol ethics in America has created a culture where everyone's assessing what they can and cannot get away with and going from there, in so many ways and domains.

This is why enough comments in this thread are just circular arguments thinly veiling an opinion that does not want to fully shed itself into the light.

America has thus become such contradictory place that trust between random strangers is null and void, already a Hobbesian game of stalemate.

Progressives aren't any better; they rely on implicit, unwritten rules just as much as any strictly heteronormative conservative and so struggle with ethical nuance just as much.

Until Americans stop trying to game each other for what they can get instead of exposing themselves to one another utterly whenever they have to confront real, indissoluble ethical problems that can't be brute forced by partisanship.

And it's precisely because America really has no culture that it falls on America to face up to this task more than any other country.

Edit: No really, go back and re-read Leviathan, Hobbes doesn't say a state of nature is all-out violence, he specifically says nothing happens ("no industry or culture"); it's a stalemate. Nobody makes a move, so everybody loses

Vast number of menial jobs will still be automated, and if anything, the quarantines are going to speed up the process.
I question the amount of secret stealing that could effectively occur in the factory itself. Tool parameters can be loaded over encrypted networks directly from secure systems. Reticles at 7nm and lower nodes are hopelessly impossible to reverse-engineer. Tool operator interfaces can be locked down to provide only the most essential information. What exactly are you going to pilfer from these factories? Everyone knows you buy EUV from ASML. Not a whole lot of insight to be gleaned by just observing operations. Sure, you could decide that IP exfiltration is not going to work and resort to sabotage. Causing defects intentionally is not very difficult, but I doubt you would get away with it for very long. The amount of measuring, logging and tracking that occurs throughout is beyond incredible. Everything is a consideration in the hopes of squeezing out more yield. As a consequence, you have the best audit log in any business on earth.

I've worked in the industry and you can't even go inside the lobby of one of these buildings without having epoxy poured into all the USB ports of your various electronics. Security is best described as absolute in these facilities. Getting into the factory itself is yet another security check. You cannot bring any personal items into the clean room last I was told the rules.
I learned Chinese characters using this method and found it very helpful. It's not very popular among Chinese learners or teachers because it's unintuitive. In many cases the keywords of the characters you are learning are imprecise or goofy. But the point of the method is to rapidly form mental chunks at the character level so that later you can focus on a higher level of abstraction.
We're talking probabilities here. (Or you are one already, in Zimbabwean currency.)
Is the Gretta Thunberg voice intentional?
No, both your post and this reply are dogmatic. As I said, Ruby is the slowest modern dynamic programming language (and it's much slower than Perl). I really wish the Ruby community would listen to valid criticism. All dynamic languages are deeply flawed in some way, especially Ruby, and most ecosystems are open to learning from others.
I suspect the reason for few users is because it's relatively simple to build such an app and so you have tons of competitors, such as Pleco. For example, the visualization you have is pretty similar to a learning tool that annotates subtitles I built in 2013 - it's no longer online but you can see screenshots at https://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/90411/Miller_... and a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j-eXUB3eaA

This is a tired argument.

As terrible and kneejerk as/r/politics may be, it doesn't need to be some neutral ground of perfect arbitration for many reasons, the least of which is that it would be asking an insane amount of work from its volunteer moderators. If it skews left who cares? There are plenty of places to discuss politics online that skew to the right.
I find this is one thing I use in reverse to get a sense of whether something is likely to be fictional. Real experiences are chock full of irrelevant details and false leads that go nowhere. Fiction usually ties things up neatly.
Agree, but furthermore, it's not only tests that allow you to keep context outside your head, but also compiler errors. On complex tasks for example, calling a method that hasn't been defined yet I can offload a subtask from my head because I know for sure the compiler will remind me to implement it later if I forget. Even more explicitly, mid task my c++ can be full of #error directives each with a little note for something to be fixed at that location before I even think about running anything.
What kind of weird conflation is this? Maybe you mean anti-zoophilia? That seems more comparable at least. I think that hits more on the problem people have with it.

Here is a well thought out analysis of different attributes tha constitute "free-ness" that breaks down many kind of freedom[1]. Obviously Americans get full marks for "freedom of movement and assembly" but there are other types of freedom. The USA doesn't even break the top 10. If your interest is genuine I recommend further research starting with "why does the USA have the highest incarceration rate in the world", "prison industrial complex", "victims / incarceration by race" (given freedom in the USA is unevenly distributed).

I'm not saying the USA isn't generally a free place (it obviously is and has many good parts), but comparatively it's not the most free.

Also to reply directly to your point about size, Australia and Canada are both higher in the paper I provided, which are (equal sized / slightly smaller) but more sparse, so I don't think size is the issue.

>But what message does this send to girls who are not considered attractive enough or just don't want to do this kind of work?

Here's where the real damage gets done - women flock to onlyfans as they find it to be an easy way to sell their looks / body for money. They initially get interest and some (or a lot) of money. More beautiful girls join onlyfans, subscribers change and now you're left with yesterday's onlyfan star, having gained "worth" from her looks/body, now watching that "worth" dissipate.

Not to mention those images are now online forever.

>The message is that all the study, work, and effort to work in a meaningful career is a freaking joke, when all it takes is to be born a certain way and make huge amounts of money selling your body.

This already existed. Ugly rich/famous/powerful men don't get beautiful wives due to their glowing personality.

>But man, we are so fucked.

We are, from virtually every angle. Still, at least it's interesting.
In most cases API comes last, after the data and UI. This is just the state of things unless you intentionally building an api service from scratch.
Data stays forever and in many times serves more than one application, UI changes all the time and might connect to more than one data source.
API is the decoupling between those two and in most cases dictated by both, not the other way round.

The term "dog whistle" needs to be banned on the grounds of it being a memetic hazard. It's a perfect tool for shutting down any meaningful conversation by accusing other side of being deceitful, by conjuring up some hated group that the speaker is supposedly sending secret signals to, instead of actually meaning what they said. It's active intellectual dishonesty in distilled form.

As for the article, I feel it's complete bullshit - in Frankfurt's sense[0]. It says things that may or may not be sometimes true, but the point is to use the LGBT+ communities as a human shield to defend the furry fandom.

Before I'd use something like this, I'd like to see a privacy policy and at least a simplified topology of the networking, where and if encryption is terminated, what information is sent or stored, etc.

Looks cool, though! Are you running a standardized kernel for the images, or are the kernel builds board specific and thus different versions?

I've found its faster and more reliable to reload JIRA tabs by simply creating a VM, running it on a browser in there, and pausing the VM when you don't need JIRA. When you need it, or after a restart, simply load up your VM and resume the operating system. This usually takes only a second or two, much faster than reloading JIRA the normal way.

If anyone from Atlassian is here, please help me create an official JIRA tab VM image! Maintaining my JIRA OS negates probably half the time I save loading JIRA this way!

I mean, sure, if you assume settlement and development patterns in both hemispheres had equal probability to develop a need for standardized mechanized time keeping.

But I would direct that armchair discussion more to the comments section of Guns Germs and Steel and all the TED talks that talk about how geographical differences are suspected to influence societal developments, all while keeping your racism and eugenics radar on maximum-alert.

Really, though, I think it was just some overworked Economist journalist trying to crank out another science summary piece, completely unaware that the top-commented criticism was going to be a bunch of nerds bikeshedding the omission of a mildly-interesting historical anecdote rather than anything substantial about the science being reported on. :)

It is not constitutional for the US to make it illegal to remove content. Regardless of why you would remove it.

The 1st Amendment cuts both ways there - you can't be punished for removing something from your billboard. That's your freedom as a US entity to decide what you express. The reasoning behind why you removed content (a violation of your website's terms, a request from a foreign government, contractual obligation with McDonalds to not host Pink Slime videos in exchange for $1MM a year) doesn't matter from a constitutional perspective. So the US government revoking a protection of an existing US law as punishment for an expression (removing content) would be an unconstitutional violation of free expression.
> In other words, it's US exceptionalism both ways around, that is, circular reasoning. Why should anyone bother to try and have a good faith argument here?

Game of Thrones owed part of its success to not following this principle. I think when most works of fiction and Hollywood leave no detail unused, they lose unpredictability. Over time the audience will talk about shows that stand out from the crowd and Game of Thrones left enough details out to keep its outcome unpredictable to the very end. Had they not run into the budget and time constraints, they could have continued the show for much longer than we got.

> 1. Joblessness due to the pandemic overwhelmingly affects low-income workers. A recent survey showed “40 percent of households earning less than $40K lost jobs in March,” but most people who adhere to FIRE are in tech, medical, and other high-paying fields, so their pay has not been disrupted, and are able to work at home instead of being laid off.

That's not true at all. There are plenty of people on the FIRE forums that are going at it with low to medium paying fields - though many of their plans do involve trying to transition to a higher paying field. Making a blanket statement about the jobs had by FIRE adherents is a threat to the perception of the 'FIRE' movement.
At least you won't need to worry about the possibility of a follow-up, with that attitude.

This is what the parent is referring to. There is nothing bad in doing business, but I agree that it is sickening to sell it as a humanitarian endeavor.

Facebook is cynical, devaluates the work of real humanitarian organizations and misleads the public on the collateral consequences of their actions.

Market economies are good, I agree. Monopolistic companies like Facebook put the markets and the economy at risk.
It seem to be playing a bunch of mp3 assets, so the voices are pre-recorded. Not sure if those mp3 are generated with a text to speech software or not though.
Under the current model, that is correct.

That’s like paying a UBI of $300 a month vs paying a whole department doing means testing for $100/month and then paying $300 a month of welfare to those who qualify.

May as well do something more automated and send the money. Like what Tyler is doing here — collecting info over time. Make the entrepreneur spend most of the time providung the due diligence in the format you want. They have the time not the money — and it is reusable for other investors too.

It should be a portal. Like the “Prizes, not Patents” debate. Same thing.

Large scale deep learning. I don't make the decision on upgrades. But if i were buying new dgx-1s, i would buy these new ones. But i wouldn't buy a dgx-1 in the first place - it is an appliance with software nobody wants. Buy a commodity server with V100s and NVLink for 66% of the price. Like HPE or somebody else sells.
I would figure you simply break it down into three components. Front end (presenters) middle (plugin's) and back end (managers). The managers know nothing of the front end and the presenters know nothing of the managers. That way you can always swap out your UI for a different one, right?

If this is the case then you should develop the plugins first.

Following some links back from that article reaches this:

(there is both a French and an English PDF at the bottom). Interestingly to me, one of the main concerns of that writeup is the non-transparency of the editorial function of social networks, e.g., the secret algorithmic choice of what posts/tweets to show you and what order to present them in.

This kind of suggests that a service can avoid some amount of censorship attention simply by acting more as a neutral carrier, instead of the current tendency of the large players to present a filtered and adjusted view.

It could also be argued the other way around: businesses put very little long term thought into how their systems would be used. One of the consequences is that their systems can be manipulated to propagate hate speech at a scale that would not be possible otherwise.

Now I'm not pretending that this is a new problem. It existed in the days of BBSes. It existed in the days of print. The list could go on. This should be been seen as forewarning. Doubtlessly, newspapers always received letters to the editor containing hate speech. Very few of them would be published, borderline cases may be published with additional commentary. It would take a very special publication to publish hate speech because it would affect their reputation. Yet they moved to the online world and opened the floodgates with "comments" that received little if any review before publication. There is a strong incentive for people to misuse this privilege against the best interests of the publisher since they immediately gain wide exposure. That is for a service that has a strong incentive to pay heed to what they publish, even in the digital world.

This short term mentality, coupled with the immediacy and global scope of the internet, resulted in certain parties using the Internet as a propaganda machine for speech that is detrimental to society and even the services that permit it. It is difficult to reign in short of shuttering the outlets for publication or giving them strong incentives to invest the resources into combating it.
