>Would it matter to you if it was a middle-aged man with a moustache?

Lol. Please, stop for just a second, and imagine that situation. This guy responds to a personal ad for sex. Gets a response that says "i'm 13" and a picture of a middle-aged man. Goes over to the poster's house, is greeted by that same middle-aged man, and goes inside.

Do you really think that guy is there to have sex with a teenager?

>What's your point?

That there were innumerable little hints that he was not talking to a teenager. The picture was a big one, the writing style, cultural knowledge from well before she would have been born, precise directions.

>a 13 year old girl that states quite clearly she is 13 years old

I'm already tired of hearing you say this. Words don't overwhelm all other evidence simply by virtue of being explicit. If I offer you $1000 in cash but tell you it's a dog turd, are you a fool for grabbing it?

Look, I'm not saying Hambrick had no ill intentions. I'm saying that there is more than enough reasonable doubt about the claim that he went to that house intending to have sex with a thirteen-year-old, and that reasonable doubt is enough to not effectively end his life.

Heaven forbid a post on here describe WTF it's about.

So tired of people posting obscure shit on here with no definitions, as if we're all noobs if we don't run around doing searches to do their work for them.

If you can't be bothered to define WTF you're talking about, then we can't be bothered to read your post. It's that simple.
I ordered a ReMarkable 2.0 on 7th of May 2020 and they emailed me:
"reMarkable 2 orders will be processed in batches. Your order is in batch 5, which is set to ship in Early September. You can follow the status of your batch at remarkable.com/delivery."

I opened the link again today (28th of August) and saw batch 5 is now postponed of 2 months to Early November :(

Because you do not get to be a billionaire by pissing away all of your money on a fool's errand. Fusion is a black hole of broken promises that will not delivery a single watt of useful energy to consumers in your lifetime and additional funding from Gates won't change this. Fission works. Fission delivers today. Fission gets the job done. Making fission cheaper, easier to deploy, and safer will have a much bigger impact than chasing fusion dreams.
The review embargo just lifted so there's some extra interest currently.

That said it was announced months ago, so the seeing it on HN the first thought on my mind was PR campaign.

To a certain extent that is the point of sites like HN, but there's always the implication that it's just something someone stumbled upon rather than an "advertisment". (I figure more often than not OP is a stakeholder of some sort whenever it involves a product for sale)

Not accusing anyone of anything, but it took a surprising amount of scrolling to have someone actually mention the deficiencies such as the reading functionality being subpar.
When I visited the PNC in 2015 I peregrinated all the way from Seattle (WA) to Portland (OR) simply for the joy of visiting Powell’s. I even chose my hotel to be as close as possible (which turned out to be the very hip ACE Hotel, which was another amazing experience).

These places may be retail businesses, but they’re also basically priceless experiences that should be viewed as public goods.

Absolutely would call this a tech culture problem. Just like e.g. not writing tests because management doesn't want to spend time on that. Doesn't mean that individual developers are to blame for this kind of decision, but it speaks for the overall culture of the tech org. Yes, often driven by business objectives.
Same here, but we are a super niche market, not even worth a couple of small letter on the landing page. I learned about that a lot as early adopter of products that inevitable had to switch to address a more mainsteam market and in the process completely alienate me. Examples are Pebble (I don't care about fitness, OI care about minimalism and battery life), bunq, a fintech "bank", went from nerdy minimalism, IT company with a banking license to a comapany that that integrated Instagram and Tree saving counter into the banking app. Another, less strong, example is OnePlus who lost me after the 3.
The timing of the indie developer's Tesla watch app (that has seen many iterations until yesterday) suddenly being kicked out of App Store on such not recently (if ever) enforced grounds seems to be too coincidental..don't care how many Apple employees downvote!
I believe some integration is required, since the billing for the used power happens via the car on Tesla's end, not the at the supercharger itself.

Also they've invested quite a bit in the network, some fee to use it for other manufacturers is in order.

And if we're going with the accelerating sustainable transport argument - where do we draw the line? Why not just give away EVs to everyone at no cost?
I know about COPPA; that is why I specifically chose “12” and not “13” ;) I brought this up because I am fairly sure the the moderators know enough about me to say that I am not actually 12 regardless of what I state here, which is the point I am trying to make: does the law require one to take statements made by a person on the Internet at face value if they seem patently false? If yes, is such a law practical and/or reasonable?

(FWIW, Y Combinator forbids children under the age of 13 from making accounts for this reason. However, when people have done so in the past it has usually been tacitly ignored for reasons pertaining to “it would be a net loss for everyone if we enforced this”.)
>The convicted sex offender acknowledged he was fully aware the girl he tried to meet for sex was 13 years old.

Did we read the same article?

>>They pressed him on why he wanted to have sex with a 13-year-old. He answered, repeatedly, that he didn’t believe she was 13: Her picture didn’t look like she was 13; he thought she might be a grown woman engaging in role play; people online lie all the time, so he went to see for himself; when a woman who appeared to be in her 20s opened the door, he followed her inside for sex.

>>“I do not believe that you came here to verify if this girl was 21,” the detective said. “You couldn’t help yourself.”

>>“If she was 13, I was going to turn around and walk away,” Hambrick said.
It probably means military since the way it looks does make you think of military equipment and he mentions pelican cases as well. I don't think he means military spec though, to be clear.
“Zoom cookies are firstly written when the user connects to the website zoom.us and accepts the cookies options.”

That was the moment Zoom received your consent to store data transmitted by cookies. Adding a few more cookies to the pile, regardless of expiration date, doesn’t change the agreement.

Rummaging round the cookie bin on uninstall is a nice find and deserves a raised eyebrow but this doesn’t really have anything to do with GDPR.
Let's say you store all your wealth in a deflationary currency, for the obvious reason that it gains value over time. Then converting it to an inflationary currency would simply add overhead. So you would spend the deflationary currency.
As per TFA, they sell their books online. Personally, having seen how Amazon achieves next-day delivery in markets with poor labour laws, my desire to receive products quickly has receded greatly.
3.1.5(a) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

So if I have two apps A and B, and app A only allows you to buy a license to unlock content/features in app B... no commission is due since what I buy in app A is consumed in app B, i.e. outside app A? :D
The article mentioned that people being caught by the sting operation usually receive harsher punishments than people who actually commit the crime that the sting operation is supposed to prevent. It's truly absurd.
Also it might take 20x less RAM compared to using Python objects like sets and dicts. In Rust there's no garbage collection, and you can lay out memory by hand exactly as you want.
Yeah. This is a travesty of justice. And massively hypocritical, if you don’t also punish people who draw murder scenes for normalising and encouraging violence.

And it's not "real clothing". It just pictures that look like they could be of real clothes.

Seems pretty misleading to me. :(
People also want & need to explore physical spaces above and beyond what a recommendation algorithm suggests. People want to have the full experience of being immersed in a space. People want to smell the books. People want to try on clothes and see how they fit and compare them. People don’t want to be drawn in by the short-term convenience of the most convenient price.
I'm also a huge fan of Heaney's Beowulf. While Headley chooses to vernacularise the language in the extreme, Heaney took a more sensitive approach, preserving kennings and searching for Ulster dialect cognates to Old English words to use in their stead, and always being careful to shun the aloof Latinate for the earthy Germanic. The consequence of his success is that the text seems to have sprung forth from the bloodied earth, the capricious sea, and the smoke-clogged longhouses of the tale.

So while I am always happy to see new editions of Beowulf, I can't help but feel that Headley's will feel a little trivial by way of its own unselfconcious anachronism. A wergeld seems an absurd concept when cast in the language of the iPhone, but when depicted in language that is sympathetic to its context it feels deeply natural - of the earth, even - a rightful price to pay as atonement for the shedding of blood, in an age when the sword was as fair and just as the High Court is today.
This could be fixed by a change in the law that required data brokers and privacy farmers to carry insurance to cover the loss of information.

Suddenly you’d turn an “asset” that motivates surveillance capitalism into a liability you’d want to offload as soon as your business can.
> It's just the formal proof that missing.

That's the only thing that actually matters. You've demonstrated something analogous to the following: "Claim: there are no numbers larger than 100,000,000,000,000,000." You've then gone and checked all the numbers from 1 to 10 million, concluded that it's true, and then just say that we're missing a formal proof. I don't mean to be rude, but from an actual mathematical point of view, you've basically demonstrated nothing.

10 million is mindboggling tiny when it comes to all the numbers. Consider this counterexample to Polya's conjecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQCUPQdi6DY

Holy shit - you can run Zoom in the browser???
My point is, when the intention is clear, an attempted crime should itself be treated as a crime.

What's more, if people weren't so damn emotional about everything, since it's very hard to prove someones intention, cases like the one in the article should be thrown out before ever reaching a judge.

The real evil in this story, I would say, is the typical "innocent until suspected guilty" approach people tend to have for certain crimes, specially when children are involved.

Let's be honest, the scenario of the article didn't prove anything. It gave some indication that maybe the guy was attempting to commit a crime, so he should never have been convicted of anything.

> I believe some integration is required

European charging networks are integrated with roaming and aggregated billing already. This is not novel. If they can do it, why not Tesla?

> Also they've invested quite a bit in the network

So has everyone else and yet Teslas charge on their networks right now. If they can do it, why not Tesla?

> Why not just give away EVs to everyone at no cost?

Because companies want to make money. Who ever said anything about offering free charging or free cars?

Because the product TikTok itself, is not targeted at users in China? TikTok is more like "Douyin International", or say, there is a separate "TikTok China" named Douyin. So whether these cloud services operates in China is irrelevant.

Its China version Douyin also uses a mix of Aliyun and their own infrastructure, so ByteDance likely have plenty of experience operating in multi/hybrid cloud environment.

I can't help but ask followup questions about what you're saying re: the 7's.

Firstly, why are your numbers wearing hats? (I know it represents a repeating number, but how do you type numbers with hats? I assume you're not copy-pasting 5̅7̅1̅ whenever you want to write it out. Is there a shorthand on MacOS?)

Regarding the 7's, I don't understand the pattern from 0.142857 to 0.285714 to 0.428571. Are you saying that 0.428571 is easy to remember, somehow? Or derivable from 0.285714? In fact, did you write out these numbers without using a calculator?

I see what you're saying with 7 x 2 = 14, x 2 = 28, x 2 = 56. And I see that if you change 56 to 57, then yes indeed it does match the ending of 0.1̅4̅2̅8̅5̅7̅, and then you can repeat the pattern of 7 x 2 = 14, which matches the ending of your 0.2̅8̅5̅7̅1̅4̅ number. But what's the connection to 0.4̅2̅8̅5̅7̅1̅? It's unclear how to use your trick to go from 7̅1̅4̅ to 5̅7̅1̅. Or even why that's helpful in general, or what the overall connection is between all of these seemingly unrelated things.

Thanks for sharing!

At the same time I'm quite annoyed that there's plenty of things now that you can only buy on the Internet.
I also find Amazon to be an horrible mess. It's hard to know if you're buying something legit or from a shaddy business.

I personally always look for a local physical shop first, then a local Internet shop, Amazon being the very last resort.
Concerning books, the experience on Amazon is nowhere near as nice as browsing in a good book shop with knowledgable people being able to give advices.

I might be an exception and, of course, it depends where you live, but I definitely don't fit in the people you describe.

That may be true but when dealing with book discovery nothing beats going to an actual book store and browsing. Human curated isles and shelves, people to talk to, an environment that fosters curiosity. That can't be replaced with clever algorithms designed to push whatever amazon want to push.

I agree with you that buying on Amazon is easy and frictionless but convenience comes with at a cost and sometimes price is not money. If you already know the book you want, it is dead easy to buy on Amazon. But, it is also easy to buy elsewhere online. Amazon is a bully and its business practices harm authors and publishers. It also treats their workers poorly. Is this the company you want to fund?

> The underage girl he met online made it quite clear to him she was 13 years old. That fact popped up repeatedly during their chats.

"The underage girl" does not exist. "That fact" is a fiction, and Hambrick would not have been imprisoned if Net Nanny had not entrapped him with a picture of a 24-year-old police officer (that Hambrick correctly identified as an adult) and false messages written by a middle-aged detective.

Equivalence of Associative memory and Attention in Transformer models
Let me ask the opposite. If you are trying to meet a 13 year old girl and the girl on the other side is sending you a fake picture of herself pretending to be 24 year old, pretending to speak like a 24 year old, and in general pretending to be a 24 year old except when asked how old that person is, then why on earth would you meet that person? Anyone who was interested in underage girls would want to make sure that the person they are talking to is actually underage. That guy completely failed to confirm that she was actually 13, he made the "really stupid mistake" of confirming that the person he was talking to is 24.
I know that TikTok isn't operated in China but If I were TikTok dev, I'll think something like: adopt AWS/Azure to make possible to share code between Douyin and TikTok (just possibility, for future).

> IMO also I think it is not fair that central banks only focus on CPI and not asset price.

I can't figure out why it's not fair, though. All that matters with asset prices is whether they go up or down, not their absolute value. The whole point of assets is they go up. Your complaint is they, what, went up "too fast" or that you weren't in when they did?

> ...for me as a millennial it matters a lot that real estate price in central Europe are today 2x compared to what they were 10 years ago.

Well, inflation accounts for I suspect a whole lot of that. Inflation since 2010 is just shy of 20% for the USD. I'm unfamiliar with central European pricing so I can't comment on that specifically, however it might surprise you to know that in the US, on an inflation-adjusted dollars per square foot basis, houses cost exactly the same as they did in the 1970s. They're just twice as big now. [1]

> ...also rent is mostly not reflected correctly in CPIs.

"Lego now is not what it used to be."

Of course not. If LEGO did not change they would be out of business right now.

Your comment is about nostalgia.

You can still buy the basic LEGO blocks. So why would you advice someone to use Meccano or Roblox?
You can even buy LEGO Architecture Studio (set 21050) exactly for the reason you call 'non-directed play'.
And all those blocks are still compatible with the 1970's blocks.

So in a way LEGO did not change at all.
