Happy to oblige with the downvote. The US isn't Belarus, even if Trump thinks it is. Shutting down everyone but Fox/OANN is beyond his power and authority, whether he knows it or not, and whether he likes it or not.

An attempt to shut down CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and AP would result in an immediate court order prohibiting the shutdown.
Steam takes their cut for being the most convenient way to buy games, which drives sales, and developers are happy to be there. Apple take their cut because nobody has a choice, other than not to buy Apple devices. First is a honest partnership, second is extortion.

> makes the mute button easier to find

It's odd this is still an issue. I'm not sure why the mute button is not featured more prominently on videochat apps. It's almost the primary feature during a call that makes things go smoothly.

Also, there's always one guy who has to say every bloody time, "are you there, have you forgot to unmute?" if you fail to unmute and start talking <100ms after your name has been mentioned.
Why do you believe that? Isn't it possible that in high crime areas it would make more sense to focus on the police first, so that everybody, including school counselors, is not too afraid to go to work?
The good writers have no shows and the shows with great budgets appear to not have writers.
Oxytocin is a hormone, completely unrelated. The words you're thinking of are oxycodone and oxycontin, and they are not different drugs. Oxycontin is a time-release formulation of oxycodone.
While learning D3 I was stuck on a simple bar chart problem. Just could not figure it out. Asked on the D3 slack. None other than Mike himself took the time to look at my code and point out the error. Then he gave me some general tips that he noticed. The guy is so generous with his time and expertise and I admire him a great deal.
This isn't every time you open an app though, it's once, on install.

I could assemble a small dataset of less than a hundred ultrasounds to test the algorithm. A big dataset that could train an AI would require quite the effort.

Great questions, and you highlight the need for shared ultrasound data.
Oh, I did system work with BLISS - I was trying to connect a PDP-11 to a set of motors (which controlled a small telescope).

Much later, I used BLISS on a VAX/780 at Space Telescope Science Institute - making an image editor interface into VMS. Long time ago!

FB’s ARPU in US in 2019 was $112. Google’s was $256.

By comparison, paid services would cost $30/month. You might be willing to pay that, but many will not. People already share Netflix accounts or bootleg their friend’s HBO accounts.

I think a shift to paid services is _possible_ but I won’t bet on it. The economics and market forces that brought us metered data and text usage haven’t really changed. Destroying the advertising-supported offerings will not spawn competition overnight. But in any case I think the big players are positioned to weather the changes.

And by the way, $30/month/user is an average. If you are have high disposable income you are likely netting FB et al more than that.
True, but not everywhere. In my particular country it would be far lower due to some loopholes.

Well we do know something that was learned by brilliant scientists over more than 100 years of neuroscience and cognition research, but apparently it's almost completely ignored by people who aspire to create an 'intelligence'.

The idea of neural network in its current form came from someone in 1943 going through actual neuroscience papers and translating them to mathematical model by abstracting away the noise. While brilliant, Mccullough and Pitts work was done in pre-historic times if you consider the amount of information we learned about the brain and cognition since.

Saying "We don't know much about human brain" is just being lazy. We know too much about the brain! Brain research has collected so much empirical data and a good amount of good theories. For an example of a good theory at various levels of abstraction see Moser, O'Keefe and Nadel work on place cells and grid cells, Kandel on learning, Edmund Rolls on vision, Olshausen & Field on sparse coding, Kanerva' SDM, Plate' convolutions, Widdows on
geometry and meaning, Wickelgren and J. R. Anderson on associative memory, Fukushima' neocognitron, Hofstadter on analogical reasoning, Quillian on semantic memory, Pribram holonomic theory, Valiant' neuroids, Pearl' causality. More of these "bridges" and a meta-bridge is needed if you're serious about AI.

My guess, it's a decade-or-two-old sentiment from when effects like this weren't really doable in JS/CSS and needed animated GIFs.
There is a reason why the news paper industry moved in the direction that they did. Or do you think they were forced to move this way? Measurement on the web can be more precise and allows to understand the impact of revenue, it's also vastly more distributed than magazines and TV channels of which there's only thousands or so for each while there are literally millions of websites. There's too much noise and fraud on the web to be able to make marketing decisions with little tracking. The W3C is working with Google on establishing what it would take to accomplish this stuff without sharing data, this isn't the approach apple took with its platform in plain disregard for all the apps that run on it, but than again at this point this shouldn't surprise anyone.
That's true but most people would pay that once or twice, which puts potentially small beans if it increases your productivity. Plus it's fun
To be fair, the former isn't really a problem; most malware authors are profit-motivated; they're trying to scam/phish/ransomware/etc people. If you increase their operating costs sufficiently, they'll go away. The ones who can afford to eat certificate costs mostly have nation-state connections they can use to get around identity verification anyway.

That said, the latter part does make this a non-starter, although the same is true of most means of identity verification, which lock out anyone with inadequate identity paperwork.
I agree — it’s been a buzzword in the graphic design industry for at least 10 years now. During Signifier’s 15 year development I've seen many trends surface and disappear! And during the a year we spent working on the marketing concept and approach for Signifier, I struggled with even mentioning the term “Brutalism”. In the end, I decided it was OK, because it was true to my process, research and thinking.

We work very hard to ensure concept, execution and communication are as solid as they possibly can be. I would never emptily invoke anything.
Well, if the discussion has shifted from "Why is Facebook alarmed about users getting a choice if users are happy to be tracked?" to "What frequency of being asked about a choice is acceptable?", I think all the tough parts of the argument are now complete and it's possible for the reader to walk through to the conclusion of why Facebook is alarmed.

At my previous job we released updates to our Windows desktop application about 3-4 times per year. We had about 20'000 customers (but many of them not installing updates). We checked final build of our product on Virus Total before release and e-mail the various anti virus companies about the false positives. Thankfully, I wasn't the guy doing this work.
It returned Maria for a combo of English/Russian/Masculine. Also Adrian and Brody which I’ve never heard in Russian. But overall not a bad idea. My former Irish coworker and his Indian wife could have used this for sure when trying to name their kids years ago.
I can buy ads generically on a site, but what happens after the user clicks on the ad or just views the ad and then buys the product? How do you keep track of this when you can't measure the effect? The only way is to measure some form of before/after analysis of your conversions with or without the marketing campaigns... Too much noise to be able to do that on the web.

> should never update a user interface without allowing the previous one to be used as the default

I don’t understand why people are so precious about their UI and workflow. They obviously managed to learn and adapt to the current UI. Why can’t they adapt to a new one?

If you’re super sensitive to something as trivial as a change to a menu location maybe that’s a sign you should be automating whatever your workflow is.

Thanks for asking! I maybe should have mentioned that I am speaking from a place of personal experience and also the experiences I've had relayed to me by my neighbors.
I've also heard normal terrible stories about the police everywhere I've lived, but this posse thing is relatively new to me so I thought it prudent to highlight as one example.

I currently live in a rural area where the sheriff's office provides bullet-proof vests using county funds, and has vowed to expand the program in the coming year. I am not aware of any training necessary to volunteer for the posse (the sheriff's office doesn't publish any clear guidelines about this.) All that I am aware of is that there are roughly ~30 officers total on this half of the county, and over 380 posse members according to published numbers.

I have heard of a few cases of posse volunteers following people around in an intimidating fashion (Despite no wrongdoing occurring on the part of the of those followed. Every bit of weird behavior on their part was focused on Hispanic people and young women.) There was no news of anyone being reprimanded or ejected from the posse.

As for community policing goes, I think that term may mean different things to different people. If by community policing you mean "possibly untrained, armed and armored people doing patrols with opaque rules and structure with limited accountability to the community, all on the taxpayer dime" it sounds somewhat similar to regular policing without having to pay salaries or pensions.

I do not find that to be a meaningful difference (aside from the significant savings) , and not something that I would endorse.
I'm not trying to be contrarian here, but why would someone continue to use Vim and Emacs when all of its lovely features have been integrated into products like VCode?

>Except you're not copying an RNG. You're copying someone's carefully crafted work, whose artificial scarcity is the mechanism by which they are compensated for that work.

Well, at least you're honest. It isn't about the work. It's about creating an artificial scarcity to profit from is it?
Are you a Sackler by chance? Creating artificial scarcity has been a favorite tactic of theirs in the pharmaceutical realm. The fact is, IP was meant to act as a temporary halt or brake to the universalization of the fruits of one's labor. It is no longer that. It is now the means by which people looking to use something that is rightfully theirs by right of First sale is thwarted, or otherwise impeded through the loss of one's right to vote in the case of a felony charge. Something easy enough to make a case for just with legal fees.

People will pay and reward the producers of quality content generously. They should not be forced to toil beneath multi-generational periods of recurrent revenue extraction or encroachment into their everyday lives by an industry with every political incentive to disinclude anyone that would dare question their business model from political consideration.

At this point, and I say this as a creator and bread winner on the basis of furthering other entities IP portfolio, "Creatives" have overshot any semblance of charity and goodwill with the lengths they demand the rest of society bend over and resign to never having the whole of humanity or their countrymen uplifted by the advancements we hew from the rock-hard slab of the collective ignorance of our our species.

So take your deliberate straw man of "I want my movies for free" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. I want equipment everyone can freely understand. I want no more capacity to hide aggregious ethical violations under the guise of trade secrets. I demand that the artificial ignorance and disadvantage of every Tom, Dick, and Harriet who haven't been able to get a straight answer about how to arrange and utilize their resources in a socially productive way because any privilege of getting a glimpse into how the macro-organism of society works gets shrouded behind legal vehicles intended solely to getter and entrench an edifice against any upset by those that compose it be cast off.

If anyone should be accused of trading other's rights for ideals, it's the copyright holders. They encroached first, and it wasn't good enough. So they've pushed, and pushed, and pushed some more.

Well. No more in my estimation. Work like the rest of us, or get what's coming to you, which sure as heck isn't the rest of society turning over and giving up.
Good, the app market is flooded with crap anyway
For me, part of homelabbing is learning the entire stack from physical layer up. I learn a lot of stuff running on my own physical hardware that I would have never learned when using someone else’s hardware with many nines of uptime.

I have a reference point for how my software runs on real enterprise hardware. I know what unexpected things my software does when various hardware/VM/network issues arise, and I’ve learned ways around them and how to write better software that takes these edge cases into consideration.

Are you really full stack if you didn’t reflash the firmware on your RAID controller? When I say I’m full stack, I really mean it. :)

That said, I do keep separate VLANs for my “test” and “prod” environments here at home to keep frustrations at a minimum.

As a user of software, I couldn't agree more with the OP that automatic updates:

> should always keep the user centric

> should be incremental and security or bug fixes only

> should never update a user interface without allowing the previous one to be used as the default

> should never be used to install telemetry or spyware or to re-enable it if it was previously switched off

> should never be used to install other software packages without the users explicit consent and knowledge

> should never change the format of data already stored on the system

> should never cause a system to become unusable or unstable

> must allow a revert to the previous situation

> must be disablable, in an easy and consistent manner for instance on mobile devices

> should never cause the system to become inaccessible or restarted without user consent

> should always be signed by the vendor to ensure that the update mechanism does not become a malware vector

> should never cause commercial messages or other fluff to be included

> should never cause configuration details to be lost

> should always be backwards compatible with previous plug-ins or other third party add ons

I agree: Software vendors "should" and "must" do all these things when updating software on my computer without my permission.

But often they will NOT, because their economic incentives are frequently stacked AGAINST it.

For them, it's often cheaper or more profitable in the short run not to do any of these things.
This old attempted gotcha. It doesn't prove what you think it does.

I am well aware of the story. BTW British rail stopped being profitable back in 1955 (7 years after nationalisation).

It proves that maybe you shouldn't let government take public ownership of companies. Government will frequently provide the worse of both worlds as it tries to appease everyone and ends up serving no-one.

The result for the UK is that we have a very expensive rail service that is horrible to use and it is simply cheaper to drive.
If Apple can afford losing the fight and Epic can’t, they’ve already lost. Having said that, I’m not really sure that the points in TFA are really solid, nor I see the impact of losing access to their developer account as stated, after all the framework binaries for UE don’t have to be signed. If anybody can elaborate on why losing access to the developer account is such a big deal, I would love to hear about it.

> Access to investors with net worth less than $100k could simply require extensive disclosure.

That's not all that different from how it works now. Most of the difficulty of public listing is the higher level of disclosure required.
Heck yes, will do!

For intracranial pressure did you look at ocular ultrasound? How did that work out? Did you have ICPs from actual bolted patients for the gold standard / ground truth? That would be incredibly useful especially in patients on a ventilator who can’t provide a neuro exam.

Pneumothorax seems tricky since really it requires a lung point for diagnosis, and those can be hard to find. Did you simply look for lung sliding? That’s all a physician really needs to make an informed diagnosis.

I love hearing about this. Thank you for the work you do

That's still not 'wealth' but rather 'ability to pay the costs'. While correlated with wealth, that's not the same bar, and ability-to-pay is far more rationally related.

An entity paying – actually forgoing other possible expenditures of the same money, as in this example Medicaid or some other 3rd-party payor – should have some level-of-control. There's a budget constraint in effect - other priorities they are responsible for will suffer if this one is chosen.

But anybody, regardless of wealth, for whom it's important enough to scrape up the costs can skip that hurdle, in your example. There's no extra legal burden, of thousands of dollars of costs, added by the state just because they're poor. There's no extra complications the government forces onto the counterparty – the doctor – just because the patient is poor, thus deterring the otherwise-mutually-desired activity from happening at all.

(Of course, there are such complications if Medicaid actually pays – hence many doctors avoiding Medicaid-reimbursed patients/treatments.)

And in the end the poor patient still gets the treatment - unlike the permanent freeze-out of unaccredited investors – unless & until they bank $1,000,000.
