"What is the next step, we either find a scientific way to measure the effects and then create laws if the effects are bad."

There are two problems.

1. No (interesting :-)) questions have simple clear answers. Sometimes, propaganda is good. Context matters, as do a lot of variables that are either prohibitively difficult to address scientifically or to legally control for effectively. (Let's say that X (a form of media, say) is perfectly harmless unless you have a certain set of genetic values. Requiring a whole-genome assay before you could interact with X would be theoretically unlike banning X, but practically?) Further, there are plenty of things that I don't like[TM], but which I wouldn't care to make laws about.

2. The environment changes continuously. How do you decide what your personal take on X is, in the absence of concrete and final scientific data on the effects of X? Knowing the future is hard, by the way.

The area of inquire of the article, and of asking those questions, is moral philosophy, and it's goal is to provide an individual with the tools to make decisions[1] in the absence of hard data and with the knowledge that other decisions are completely legitimate.

There's no one here other than you talking about banning things. And, honestly, "do what thou wilt until there is concrete proof of physical harm" is a valid ethical approach, although I don't know of anyone who subscribes to it and it has some poor consequences. (Are lootboxes and social media unequivocally bad? Good? Are the consequences such that legal action is required?)

It’s shameful that California restricts basic human rights like this.
For those that read the above comment, I believe by "Jean Paul" they mean "Jean Louis", who spammed Guix, Guile, and other GNU mailing lists for weeks with lengthy, rambling essays saying essentially the same thing over and over. They maintain a web page smearing one of the Guix maintainers. Among other details on this page that I can only describe as a screed, are a collection of cherry picked comments from sources like 4chan that agree with their point of view. Unsurprisingly, these comments include slurs (homophobic, ableist, and more) and other offensive language. So take that into consideration when deciding who is spreading hateful propaganda.
Ah, interesting. Yeah I get the impression the algorithm really tries to feed you more of what you've watched, whereas sometimes the more 'generally' good videos are what you would prefer.

It reminds me of the Massey-Ferguson models 135 and 165, produced in the 1960s, now among the most popular used tractors, especially in Asia and Africa:

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-36479610

"These old Masseys, like the 165 and the 135, they're so basic but they're incredibly reliable and they just keep going on and on.

We've had examples where they've literally been sitting in a hedge for 10, 12 years, people have put a bit of diesel in them, they've tow-started them and boof! - off they go - just like that.

Parts are plentiful and they are easy to fix. They have good, strong, basic mechanics."
That's interesting! But a safety factor does make sense here if you're worried about a small probability of double-counting an axle.
Ahh I misread. Even still. Directly injecting the password in the source of a JS file for the purposes of checking authentication? That screams naive error to me.
I wouldn’t say it couldn’t be a grey area. For many, it’s easier to get fresh meat than it is to get fresh vegetables, such as if you’re a farmer in a food desert but you have livestock, or even if you’re just living in a place like Alaska where a lot does not grow. There are also dietary restrictions leading some people to need a higher than average or even entirely carnivorous diet.

Bottom line is that while there may be morality inflation, i.e. when you judge the modern lifestyle on an absolute scale, it looks bad, that there is still a range of acceptability, and if you venture outside of it, that’s no bueno. That doesn’t mean we don’t expect people to be moral (100% would be “perfect”).

I periodically take breaks from social media and delete the apps off of my phone every other 3 months. It's not healthy to be indulging in "fakeness" and it definitely lowers your mental health. During my breaks, i like to indulge in other hobbies that I know bring me joy (like gardening, cross-stiching, and painting). the first couple times i did have FOMO. to deal with this i called up my true friends, actually had meaningful convos with them! Social media has its pros and cons, but if you aren't careful and realize its harmful effects, it can be such a cruel technology.
And this is why we need federal shall-issue CCW permits and common weapon lows. This hot mess of nonsense across the states needs to stop.
I disagree completely. This is exactly the kind of thing somebody might slip into a local debug build while testing.

This researcher isn't doing anything that complicated to find this page, and the page needs no authentication at all so it's not restricted to e.g. authentication via a secret that's held by the manufacturer.

If you want to make a backdoor, at least put some effort into it. This doesn't have the features I'd expect in a good backdoor.
It should not be so difficult for the head of security of the largest company on the planet to get a CCW permit. That is the problem. The system is so flawed, you have no choice but to play the game (bribe). You can't just not have a CCW in the position he holds.
I3-instant-layout – Automatic 'list based' layouts for the i3 window manager
interesting - sounds like you've had good results so far?
I'll offer a counter-example to your claim that CCW is needed every single place on earth: my home.

I don't have a gun. If someone comes in to my home with a gun, even if they are a "good guy", the odds of my dying by gunshot would instantly go up by a large multiple.

In comparison, the odds that I'm going to suffer a home invasion, that I would have been shot without the friendly gun owner, and that person successfully prevents it is vanishingly small.

I realize that not everybody lives where that calculation comes out that way, but to claim it CCW makes sense everywhere is unsupportable.
Every language has valid-per-spec differences. That's exactly why you test.

For sure OpenGL/DX requires more infrastructure to run unit tests than a generic block of C code. But it's absolutely possible to "unit test" shader code, with buffer read-back and/or vertex stream out, among other options. It's more the game engines themselves that aren't setup for unit tests rather than the graphics stack

Probably no. All the evidence we have so far is that this kind of risk assessment does not work. It causes harm. It delays access to treatment for people who need it. It causes an intensification of unhelpful interventions for people deemed to be high risk. Sometimes those interventions increase risk. Often people labelled high risk do not go on to die by suicide (whether they have the interventions or not).

Most people who die by suicide will have been labelled as low risk.

> The algorithm is built on an analysis of thousands of previous suicides in the V.A.’s database, dating to 2008.

The article fails to explain what is meant here. Are these "suspected self-inflicted deaths" (a broad definition that will include many deaths) or are these "deaths ruled as suicide by a coroner / medical examiner" (a narrow definition that will exclude some deaths)?

LinkedIn: “I'd like to join your LinkedIn network” but what for?
At early days of LinkedIn "network" meant list of people you know personally. And that personal knowing had great value for many reasons.

Isn't this against the whole idea of being "linked in"?

I was thinking “if I can post process my audio to remove silence (which certainly this product is disincentivized to do by itself), then I would like to record my daily life and have a full log.” seems cheap enough. but when you finish reading the whole page, you see there are additional payments and features you have to buy as part of a tier. it’s not actually what the quote at the top of the page claims.

The facts of the article seem to imply that the sheriff's office was blackmailing Apple. I am not sure I'd call this bribery, unless there was some reason the CCW permits should not have been issued (criminal conviction or some other risk). The Apple employee should have known better to agree to the quid pro quo, but I am not sure he should go to prison.
That is simply not true. There is no need for concealed carry in France nor UK, for example.

Even the Wikipedia article on the topic lists numerous scientific studies showing that the effectiveness of concealed carry varies in place and time, and that there is almost no link between concealed carry and lower crime rates : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealed_carry_in_the_Unite...

Using knowledge graphs to replace analysts
That's Obama's policy, and that's a really shitty way of describing family separation with illegal immigrants caught at the border.
Source 2 is Source 1 with most of the key systems replaced. They may have started with physics, but they didn't stop there. Many game engines are a collection of modules, Source included. So it becomes a fuzzy line when it becomes a "new" engine. Does replacing one module make a new engine or not? How about 2? 3?

And I very much do mean "replaced" there. Physics, since you mentioned that, was switched from Havok to the in-house developed Rubikon. And since Havok is a licensed middleware, they couldn't just bolt some new stuff on and call it theirs. That's going to be a full from scratch replacement.

Similarly the "UI module" was fully replaced, from the Flash-based Scaleform to Valve's in-house Panorama which is fairly similar to HTML5/CSS/JS. This module replacement was also "ported" to Source 1, and was implemented in CSGO as well. Which gets back to the lines between game engines "versions" are blurry.

The latest optimized version of the protobuf parser does a remarkably similar thing:

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/...

Protobufs are full of varints, and we want to perform only one bounds-check per field. So we ensure that the input buffer always has at least 16 bytes available to parse per field. If there are fewer than 16 bytes remaining, we copy these last few bytes of data into a patch buffer and parse from that instead.

I think we're likely talking past each other. I agree that there is immense social pressure for individuals to endorse the slogan "Black Lives Matter".

What I dispute is the proposition that any reasonable person assumes such an endorsement also constitutes an endorsement of the Marxist beliefs of "BLM, Inc.", a name I'm introducing to capture the organization you're referring to.

I agree that BLM, Inc. is so hospitable to radical socialism that we might as well refer to it as a radical socialist organization.

I strongly disagree that such tendencies also apply to the slogan "Black Lives Matter"; BLM, Inc. has lost its hold on the slogan, and no longer owns it. That's what happens when a slogan succeeds so wildly it's on every bumper sticker and lawn in Oak Park.

(I think this is more or less what the libertarian Foundation for Economic Education has to say about BLM as well).

Imagining getting indicted for having to bribe a local official to exercise an essential right, specifically listed in the Bill of Rights, and held up repeatedly in the courts (Hello DC v. Heller).

It's a situation where there are two classes, the haves and have nots. If you aren't politically connected in NJ, NY, CA, etc - good luck. If you exercise these rights, you will end up in a prison cell.

Even places like PA - a very gun friendly state - this is working its way through the courts for other reasons. For example, in Philadelphia they have closed the permitting office repeatedly for COVID, bystepping the law which requires them to issue a permit in 45 days, by simply not accepting applications.

That's America.

I can only hope the SCOTUS will take up new cases on this.

Copyright is a very, very bad example here, since it's only enforced by aggrieved parties through the legal system. Would you want to take on Facebook in a copyright lawsuit? And, as for these databases, how is anyone going to be able to tell whether, say, Facebook really has your data, or, if it's just gotten opaquely encoded somewhere in some ML algorithm?
The linked article obviously has a gold-bug agenda. That's why I think it's important to bring one more argument in favor of the root cause being some physical constraint, rather than legal or organizational:

At around the same time, the growth of GDP and standard of living dramatically slowed down in the Soviet Union, too. From venerable ~5% per year in 50s and 60s, to ~2% in 70s, to ~1.25% in 80s.

Different legal, political, financial and managerial framework, the same decline.

On apples campus he probably would be allowed to carry just by the business itself, similar to a bank security guard. Off campus is where the permit would be used to carry. They wanted to carry it anywhere in the state where it is permitted for CCW holders, so that's the probably reason they applied. It also allows you to buy a gun without a waiting period (I know this is the case for cops).

It’s suitable for vegetable and small acreage farms. That’s the farm automation platform I am working on...we can swarm small Ag bots over connected small acreages.

This is true, except that the "selling commodity at a loss" and "legal exemptions" examples both presuppose that you already have product-market fit for the commodity you're selling or the thing you're getting an exemption for. If people fundamentally don't want what you're selling, aggressive pricing and legal lobbying will only lead to you killing yourself that much faster.

This is something we tend to take for granted with already-successful companies, but there was a time when everyone — even Uber and DoorDash — were struggling in obscurity to build something people would use.

The drip is definitely correlation until proven to be causation. So it is possible the drop was a function of a common underlying cause.

The reason no other explanation makes sense to me is that any purely market based explanation, like energy or China, we would see a corresponding drop in US labor force productivity, but the whole point is that that productivity did not drop.

One question i have for you is, why didn’t the union just fight the cuts? A union is not a nicety granted by the corporation, its whole reason to be is to fight corporate power when needed. It sounds to me like that union was already made powerless by the time the crisis occurred.

Fair enough, see FridgeSeal's comment above though. Why are they OK with investing in an equity bubble but not a cryptocurrency bubble? They're both inflated assets.

As I mention later in that paragraph, I think the real structural issue is that most creators still do not make a full living even when they do the multi-offering approach.

This failure by individuals is masked, in part, by the churn of yet more folks trying their hand at being independent creatives.

Thus my read that this startup is related to the challenges of being an independent creator--but sidesteps the structural challenges. That's too much to ask of a VC firm and their investments--but I do think it's wise to take a critical eye to the story around the investment, the startup, and their proposed concepts of success.

Separately, (random top Google result cutpaste):

Architectural-level power optimization can target different system
components such as CPU, caches, main memory,and buses [5, 6, 22, 4]. Power
spent in off-chip buses can be a significant portion of the overall power
budget. As an example, the core power consumption of Intel Celeron at
266MHz is 16W, while its off-chip bus (for a standard configuration)
operating at 133 MHz consumes 3.3W [12, 13]. The contribution of off-chip
bus power consumption to the overall power budget increases even more for
embedded systems with low-power processor cores and memories, making
off-chip buses a potential candidate for power optimization. Figure
1 shows the power consumption due to off-chip data bus for several embedded
benchmark codes as a percentage of the overall power consumption (which
includes processor data path, caches, buses, TLB, register file,
instruction issue logic, clock, and off-chip memory) for an
embedded processor. From this figure, we see that the off-chip data bus
consumes between 9.8% and 23.2% of the total power consumed by the system
depending on the benchmark being run. So, reducing the power consumption
of the off-chip data bus would reduce the overall power consumption of
the system to a considerable extent
