I love the way you keep shifting the goalposts. When you’re shown that they haven’t controlled the virus, you pretend that it matters what the absolute magnitude of the case count is today. To wit: “You just don’t understand exponential growth!”

By the way, Korea has tested about 2M people, total, or about the same number of tests that the US did yesterday. So yeah...they’re probably finding a few less cases:

The current issue seems to be happening because they are able to sell .org.

My version wouldn't be allowed to do that.
Aren't roku devices notorious for gathering data on how you use their hardware and what you watch? In fact as far as I know you can't even use their TVs without actually creating an account with them. If this is still true, it's completely NUTS!

This is rule #1 of any tech gift.

Install all updates before Christmas morning.

Initial setup on computers, game consoles, and phones is always time consuming and error prone. Add in the massive updating DDOS which we call Christmas and millions of kids are deprived of hours of gaming on Christmas Day when their parents buy them a console and fail to follow this simple rule.

Apple screwed up here... but if you'd just followed rule #1 of tech gifting, you'd have been in the clear.
Oh well, I must be so controversial.
I think it speaks volumes that the very people responsible for this positive change were themselves victims of near extinction due to consumption and greed.

The only real hope the worlds ecosystems have is drastic and sudden reduction in human population, which won't be pleasant for anyone.

This was proved by the resurgence of nature in the areas surrounding Chernobyl. I've been a part of a coral conservation project in SEAsia for the last 15 years, and we have seen more recovery over the last year due to tourists being gone than ever before.

Unfortunately the boat captains who were ferrying snorkelers before have gone back to fishing the reefs, so that change was short lived. We are also beginning to see signs of a major bleaching event.

The long term impacts of COVID are going to see a relaxation of ecological protections worldwide, which I imagine will have a similar effect.
Transportation aside hydrogen storage is great for its energy density. Storing it locally probably as a hydride.

I'm picturing home use replacing oil or gas with hydrogen combined with a fuel cell.

It would be great for high demand situations where solar plus a battery setup capacity was too low. For example winter little sun (low on the horizon too) and a long cold spell.
Many people have been upvoting my comments here so the evidence I am seeing suggests that I haven't lost too many friends here with this line of thinking.

Continuing out the logic of your suggestion here, you would seem to imply that every other currently existing search engine besides Google also has bad quality as well in this regard. I say this because if other search engines had better quality that Google, they would be doing better than Google as per your suggestion. But, obviously Google is on top in a big way, so I have to ask, do you think the entire search engine industry, not just Google, has poor quality search results? What do you know that they don't?

1: https://chat.whatsapp.com/H82UUPJ2jbhEfmZS5kNJbB These guys share a ton of free VALUE related to growth hacking that could be extremely beneficial for SAAS founders specifically , feel free to join and thank me later (join before it gets full)

2: https://microconf.com/microconf-connect Looks pretty good to network and socialise with likeminded individuals within SAAS , feel free to join.

3:https://www.saastock.com/join-the-community/ these guys probably have an amazing and big community of SAAS founders but perhaps it's also more on socialising and networking , overall more on learning how people made it, and did it, as well as strategy wise ,the first group is probably your best go.

enjoy.
Did I say this isn’t art? No. I said it looks like someone who just got a new tool fucking around with it, and that it looks much like what everyone who just got a copy of Deluxe Paint 2 tended to create. You make some patterns, you pick up some chunks of art and drag them around as brushes, you do some perspective fills. All this needs is some color cycling and it’s hit all the cliches of “I just got Deluxe Paint”.

And thanks for trying to turn this into a personal argument by dissing my own work. Very classy. I’d think someone swiping the name of a dead Expressionist would be all for my animation-influenced distortions or anatomy in the name of expressiveness, but whatever.

Thinking Fast and Slow in AI
There was, indeed, a sweet spot between 2010-2012 (or so) wherein 4k content and HDR, etc., were not yet widespread but very nice commercial display panels @ 1920x1080 had dropped in price to around $1000 or $1200.

I bought a brand new NEC P461 (you've seen these used as departure/arrival boards in airports) in 2011 ... it's a heavy duty piece of industrial gear, was totally "dumb" in terms of networking and features, and had a very small bezel.

It has been perfect these past ten years and I use it every day as the fourth monitor on my mac pro ... but my grandparent is correct: 4k commercial displays with high end picture features either don't exist or are extremely expensive.

Consider: if you need a 4k commercial display, you are encourage to simply combine 4 1080p displays into a 2x2 video wall. For this reason, there is not as much demand from end users for high resolution commercial displays as perhaps you'd think there would be ...

EDIT: I was curious as to what the landscape was like at the end of 2020 and I see:

https://www.samsung.com/us/business/products/displays/4k-uhd...

(which is the Samsung LH50QMREBGCXZA) selling for roughly $1000 USD (or $1200 CAD). I see that it is a "Cisco Certified Compatible Display" which gives me pause ... but I think I will get one of these and see how it behaves ...

EDIT 2: The samsung model is described as having "Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth" which is sort of a deal breaker ... we'll see.
One solution is to put a camera inside to monitor the driver behaviour. Mazda is already selling cars with this technology.
Ahh, back to the "Chinese economy to overtake US" narrative. I wonder why.

Reports, studies, facts, documentaries the whole circus to be resurrected as well I'm guessing.
I find it a little concerning that the car is allowed to drive in autopilot with the seats reclined. I thought there were warnings for taking your hands off the steering wheel? I suppose they can be ignored. But full recline is a bit OTT.

Soon, I'll have to put a WiFi jammer near my TV.
That's a good observation. There is a slow pacing but when it's quiet your mind is still working so it's not 'boring' time.

It's just like in sports now where someone has to be rambling about something the entire game, even though you're watching it. It's still useful, often to find out which player shot or for the added excitement with the crowd. But they ALL feel the need to fill dead space the entire show which I personally would experiment with if I ran the show. There's plenty going on always already. Humans are weird like that.

I'm sure this has applications in Youtube and other educational videos or whatever.

Why Logic Is Important for Computer Science (2017)
I also looked at the (recently-registered) domain name, which was meant to spoof FSG, but couldn't see anything meaningful from whois, etc. I actually knew the FSG editor who'd ostensibly sent the email and wrote to him: he already knew about his doppelganger. He was both confused and slightly amused.
> The manufacturers, having no knowledge of the existence, let alone importance, of these elements, were in the dark about how they might rectify the situation.

This is an interesting story for anyone who may find themselves in a present or recent state of success at any endeavor, given that any sufficiently complex endeavor probably includes inputs that you don't fully understand or may be entirely unaware of.

Probably goes double at the organizational level; brains tend to be distributed roughly about 1 per person and institutional knowledge with it, absent substantial effort to spread it around. But even that hits its limits: there are almost certainly things that no one knows why they're working and could change or stop.
Smart TVs have awful menus and incredibly slow boot times even when you turn the internet off.
> uses a different method for reducing pain compared to the others

This is not true; all the over-the-counter painkillers are COX enzyme inhibitors. Of course, they are different molecules with different additional properties and metabolic products. For instance, aspirin is a blood thinner whereas naproxen isn't. The remarks about the different interactions are absolutely true.

With regard to mechanism of action, one oddball is paracetamol (acetaminophen, Tylenol).

Wikipedia: "Despite its common use, the mechanism of action of paracetamol is not completely understood. Unlike NSAIDs such as aspirin, paracetamol does not appear to inhibit the function of any cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme outside the central nervous system, and this appears to be the reason why it is not useful as an anti-inflammatory.[24] It does appear to selectively inhibit COX activities in the brain, which may contribute to its ability to treat fever and pain."

What makes naproxen "stronger" is how it endures in the body.
So people keep claiming, but I've yet to see a single example of an actual Tesla owner who was confused about this.

The person in this story wasn't confused and didn't even attempt a defense that Tesla had mislead them.
Keep in mind that several routers have the ability to block devices from the network. For instance, Google WiFi’s “family WiFi” allows you to pause or schedule pauses for individual devices. This can help you get firmware when you need it and cut out ads/smart features at all other times.

Nominal GDP is not the best measure for comparing industrial products, especially ones that go into products sold to and used by consumers. In PPP GDP terms, the Chinese economy is larger and PPP GDP is a better measure of how consumers and industrial customers will influence technology development.

I recall a utility that proxied all requests through another server, and compressed assets (eg large images) down on the fly on the server- so the end client used much less bandwidth to load a heavy web page.

It worked quite well and I think some ISPs offered it out of the box in the end
Perhaps I should be more concerned about the security and privacy issues with smart TV's, but what really annoys me is the (un)planned obsolescence aspect. In a few years I know that manufacturer will have zero interest in keeping the software updated to support new services and updated apps and I'll wind up with a bloated, broken UI. I'd much rather that "Smart" TV's just include their own proprietary stick that plugged into the HDMI input and could be replaced with a current generation streaming stick in a few years. I know there are good economic and business reasons for not doing this, but it'd be a real selling point for me.

It's been known for quite a while that Wave used OT, and if I recall correctly, some engineers there said that it would take them as long to implement it again [I think two years] in discussions about CRDT/OT, etc.

This was basically a de-badged Dell Inspiron 7000 clone (guessing same factory of origin), it had the cutouts for Dell stickers on the lid but had a generic AMIBIOS (or was it Phoenix?) instead of a Dell branded, but otherwise all the same hardware, all Linux friendly (added my own PCMCIA card for modem/NIC).
Even if the TV set does that but you only use the dumb features then there isn't too much to spy, right?

It should be hard for the TV to recognize what you play connected from a cable. (Edit: I know they can do it but please read the next paragraph).

Besides, if you block commercials from the smart features, what does the manufacturer gains by spying on you? Without incentives why bother the work?

> Plenty of nations understand the value of college education

It doesn't seem like many of them value it more than the US, and none value it all that much more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tertiary_...

In the US, 44 percent of people age 25-64 have a college degree; only 6 countries have a higher percentage and the highest is Canada at 54 percent, which isn't that much higher.

> they don't make people go into massive debt for it

It is true that many other countries have free college education; however, as shown by the numbers above, this does not seem to have resulted in a larger fraction of their people getting college degrees.

Under a new proposal from the UK‘s Law Commission, the “user in charge” of the vehicle would not be prosecuted for careless or dangerous driving, speeding, or breaking red lights when the car was in self-driving mode, the Telegraph reports.

The Law Commission instead suggests that responsibility should fall on the developer or manufacturer of the hardware that enables self-driving functions on the vehicle.
