> Let’s see what the language is in the bill.

You can see the language by scrolling down a bit and looking at the embedded document. It's near the top of the second page.

It begins with: "In general Section230 .... is repealed."
This argument is at best equivocating. Being in prison is not the same thing as being a slave, and by suggesting that they are the same thing, you do more harm than good.

The existence of prisons are not going away, but we can do away with profiteering off of prison labor easily.
Even in my town, with 40'000 inhabitants, there are some "roads" in the forest on google maps which were closed for over a decade (mostly for safety reasons). Especially when riding a bike next to the forest you'll end up on this road because google thinks it's a shortcut.

Truth is, after 500-600m what remains of the road, more of a path, is totally overgrown and after ~900, ~1300 and ~1700 there are fences (I went for a hike down that path with a friend after repeatedly being guided down that path by google maps).

I only use OpenStreetMap for planning my hikes and bicylce routes now.

I'm going to take an educated guess that using mo-cap data wouldn't work, simply because the weight distributions of people and the BD robots are completely difference.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say that they were given a timeline of locations of extremities and chest/trunk and the magic sauce took care of how to distribute the weight to make it work, like a footprint chart
I agree that we should improve skill & productivity. The best way to create wealth & knowledge is to create a market for small & medium businesses. Employees can gain skills & learn about the industry to create their own businesses, which further evolves the market & creates more jobs & opportunity for advancement. Education with auto-didactic learning, tax law, & practical business is important, to help people reach the next level of wealth.

There's probably effective & ineffective ways of promoting citizens' interests with local, national, & international business; however if we care about our neighbors & our values as a country, we should invest in our neighbors who share these values.
Agreed about fixing wages. I’m left-centrist and I find some of the extreme Marxism after the pandemic concerning. That’s what I’m rebutting against. I’m strongly against UBI, but I want high taxes for anyone making over $X. X is open for debate. I’d like temporary UBI (6 months, that’s what we have currently with unemployment benefits) + free apprenticeship like training so people can get back on employment. UBI is a bad idea IMO. Imagine losing your job as a waitress but you can learn electronics, perhaps get a technician job with government’s help.
My guess is that those web developers like it, want their visitors to have the same experience as them and/or implemented it maybe as a challenge or because they can.

Edit: Some sites do it as part of the user experience, which might be useful, but most of the time it might be annoying due to bad implementations.
I’d be gobsmacked if a sign helped. Signs are like v1.0 for pop-ups, pretty much no one reads them.

If I understood correctly, this is CPU-based, use of GPUs is not covered? How useful is this approach? Does it necessitate "unlearning" some ideas when transitioning to something like Vulkan?
Many folks that weight lift are overweight by the BMI metric. When I used to hit the gym 3-4 times a week I was overweight, now I don’t and bam lost most of the muscle and in the normal range. It’s pretty easy to fall into the overweight range of the bmi metric
It's not insane, it's rather on purpose. In the 1970s there was a huge concern that if proper infrastructure was built, it would cause foot and mouth disease to make its way from South to Central and North America, which stopped the USA's attempt to built a road across it. Within a decade, Panama turned much of the area into the Darien National Park and the UN classified it as a biosphere reserve & world heritage site because of a lot of the other concerns that came up during the attempt.

The epidemiological concerns haven't gone away and there isn't much interest in building across the gap.
Yes, by checking the SSL cert.
> The vast majority of employment opportunities do not involve physical labour requiring strength on a level unobtainable by women.

That's not my argument. Men are not just physically stronger, but they are more vicious and ferocious to deal with. This is especially true the higher up you go. There's a reason that the vast majority of the richest people in the world are men.

The rest of your argument is a strawman. Quit catering to toxic femenist propaganda.

You use the word "jumper" for a piece of clothing, so I think we might call it even. :)
Yup, that is the point.

Newspapers and media in general don't get read for their factual information, they get read/consumed for how they make you feel. This is excellent stuff - it makes rich people feel superior, poor people feel bad and people in the middle feel uneasy. Everyone gets an emotion from one headline, effective click generator this one!

Whether or not it's good for society longterm to have journalists publish 'your neighbour makes more money than you, your neighbour is better looking than you, your neighbour is smarter than you' is another matter. I think we all know the answer, and yet there isn't some benevolent billionaire who cares enough to fund his/her own media organization and ban this type of content on their platform.
The shoe IS on the other foot, and the US DID hide the facts. Their administration purposefully suppressed CDC information and pursued a herd immunity strategy without expressing it. You can't say "beyond trumps own incompetence and personality" without also saying "without Xi's incompetence and personality"... I don't think that is intellectually fair.

I'm happy to criticise china for the things it could do better:

- It's fast approach to full blown dictatorship, the death of the party, the rise of Xi

- Or its suppression/persecution of people actually trying to improve things for the Chinese people (Wuhan reporters, Rights activists etc)

But "Forced labour"... while developed nations like the US have prison labour? Persecution of Uighers, while Guantanamo is still a thing. Fix the things in your own back yard, which you have control over then from the moral high ground try and fix further abroad, otherwise no one (including the Chinese) pay no attention to what they see as just agg-prop. HN loves to jump on the latest china bashing and just make excuses/justifications US based domestic problems
I think I really need to learn about how and why unrelated aspects can be part of the same bill. In this case the stimulus, Section 230, election advisory committee and election access disclosure. Seems like they should be at least three bills.

> Note that immediately after this become public, Apple put Wistron on probation refusing to award them any more work and requiring them to resolve the issues.

Apple is currently incentivized to stay naive about the labor conditions of their manufacturing partners. As long as they can maintain ignorance, it's difficult to hold them accountable. We should demand better from a company as massive and profitable as Apple.
The logic is not "if people buy it, it must be good", but more "if people buy it, there must not be something else that they can buy that gets them what they want for less".

> which is perfectly acceptable when done right

Yes, perfectly acceptable. But garbage for the reasons I described above. You can probably tell that I don’t have a high opinion of social science studies, so it’s unlikely that I’ll be convinced that this is one of the vanishingly small number of studies that I’ll concede has any validity at all.

It’s garbage because it tries to assign a quantity to an English word that already means something. They are piggybacking the formal (which is limited in scope and meaning) on the informal (which is deep and reflective of human experience). If Jane Goodall makes an observation about aggressiveness in social situations it’s a judgement that I can easily accept. There’s great value in trying to obtain a detailed qualitative understanding of behavior.

On the other hand it’s one of the great mistakes of the social sciences to assume that quantification is necessary for engaging in science; this results in “metricism” or “scientist”, which cargo cults the trappings of the physical sciences without any of their insightful power.

Of course the conclusion of the article is correct, but I would not consider this evidence for that conclusion. If they had reached the opposite conclusion I would also have dismissed it entirely, so it’s only fair I do the same even though it lines up with my personal beliefs and experiences.

many have towns or outposts every 5-ish days of hiking (~50 miles) to re-up. you can purchase from store or strategically time all your packages on your route.
I don't, but I do have a domain that's sitting idle except for a mail server. Maybe a blog could be a theme for 2021...
Yea, I would love a high quality sensor that's "programmer accessible". Too bad that nobody besides raspberry pi foundation even attempts that.
I see what you're saying, but I think there's more to it. Mixing men and women in the workplace has been a recipe for disaster time and time again. I'm not excusing the behavior of men who do engage in those actions, but it's almost an expected outcome. We see this across the board, from desk jobs, to labor intensive work like construction or even the military.

Agreed that people look to those at the top of the society. In a hyper capitalistic world we live in today, the vast majority of those people are the ultra wealthy, who happen to almost all be men. Many of those men fought their way up, rightly or wrongly. Feminists and SWJ's want to push women into that same space, claiming that men and women are the same, yet they don't see the contradiction of having to hand hold those women in order for them to be able to compete there in the first place. They're implicitly admitting that men and women are different, but they can't deal with the cognitive dissonance.

As the saying in China goes: "Government Policy, Peoples' Anti-Policy". If the government don't police the laws, then they aren't really laws.

Working conditions in a lot of Chinese companies are terrible in comparison to US/EU counterparts. Any evidence you need is just look at how much a Chinese company will change things if they hire a "westerner" (just for that westerner mind you)... It's ridiculous, China can and should do better.

Mathematics are my favorite subjects. I also enjoy multiple physics.
Where I live, they'll send you down logging roads and old, disused roads fit only for 4WD trucks.

It's not just Google. Other GPS maps will send you to my house on a road that hasn't really been passable for 30 or 40 years - if you make the mistake of not telling it to avoid dirt roads. But, if you tell it to stick to paved roads, it'll have you park about 2 km away.

I have no idea how to fix this, except to suggest that they update the maps that the GPS relies on. It's such a remote area that it's not a priority for them. Every year we get a few people who think that GPS can't be wrong. Maybe if one of 'em dies and someone sues they'll get around to updating it.

I think it’s time to actively challenge the meme of “robots must eventually kill all humans.” The comments are loaded with it. People discuss the singularity as a grave threat. I don’t buy it. I think a truly super intelligence would be more naturally interested in finding ways to work with humanity toward some shared goals. Maybe even care taking obviously otherwise unable creatures. The “kill humans” meme seems like an artifact of human psyche.

No, that's simply hoisting people by their own petard, which we should applaud for cleverness. Your statement would only be correct if Domingos was actively seeking out other people to cancel to advance an agenda, as the original antagonist was.
Yeah you should probably do both of those things but you're also young and (assuming you're like the typical college student) asset-free so there's not much money to get by suing you and you may be able to afford to take risks like this. Set up a legal liability shield (LLC) and make sure your actions are defensible according to your interpretation of the law.
Surprised nobody mentioned alltrails.com, it is the gold standard of hiking route discovery. once you discover a hike, then go on caltopo to make a topographic map with waypoints, references, etc. print it out and you're good to go!

> nobody is trying to be a saviour here

Perhaps not explicitly, but by ignoring reality and pretending that we live on a different planet, people with this mentality sure do come across that way. Some even explicitly so.

> we all want fulfillment, no matter our sex

Which is why in countries that are most egalitarian, you'll find women naturally drawn to more "female oriented" practices, like nursing or childcare, and men to more "male oriented" work like construction and plumbing. Of course, the SJW's don't like that and want to push women head to head against men, only for it to end in the chaos we see today.

Except it's not so. Phenomenon that have been observed across cultures and geography and time is not a "simplistic biological hypothesis".

That’s not even a remotely close analogy, no offense meant. Robots can be used for many good purposes. Intel makes processors, they can be riding on a missile or used on a CT Scan. Bombing schools is only horrific, how do you come up with this?

I adopted a then-8-week-old kitten less than two months ago, and it's been an eye-opening delight watching him adapt just to things in my home.

During his first week he managed to hop onto a window sill, and then fell off when he tried to turn around to walk along it the other way. Less than a couple weeks later he was effortlessly walking along the edge of a pillow stood on its side, a much narrower, unstable surface.

It's amazing to me that a tiny creature like that can learn to adapt in that way with so few days of life under his belt.
How do they ensure that antibodies for the spike protein don't interfere with other processes in the body? E.g. if the spike protein bears a sufficient resemblance to part of another protein expressed by healthy human tissue, is there a risk of an immune response? Presumably the Phase 1 trial would sort that out for the most part, just wondering if there is any kind of ability to screen for that ahead of time.
Haskell programmers generally believe in making it clear what the code means and letting the compiler/runtime figure out the details of how to execute it. A perfect programmer with infinite time could almost certainly get more optimal behaviour by specifying all the details; on the other hand, a language that expects the programmer to specify all the details gives them plenty of opportunity to get those details wrong, or for their choices to become outdated.

In my experience Haskell significantly outperforms C++ on real-world business problems with realistic development effort (as opposed to carefully tuned microbenchmarks). I do think laziness was a mistake (to the point that one of the biggest industrial deployments uses a strict variant instead). I've spent most of my career doing work in Scala that's very much real-world, so as far as I'm concerned all the people talking about these things being academic or overly abstract are talking crap - I use this stuff every day, and whenever I've tried to take a shortcut (e.g. define a slightly law-breaking monad instance, abuse some mutable state somewhere) I've come to regret it later.
There are articles from "real institutions" saying it is him, for example: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-07/michael-b....

There's a great reason to discourage one and not the other: There are lots of people out there who have been victims of sexual violence, and these depictions would do emotional harm to them. On the other hand, there are exactly zero people out there who have been victims of lethal violence and might now be hurt if they play your game.
Of course, but there's no reason to disparage those that aim to study these phenomena.

This study didn't conclude that the media you consume had no effect. It merely reported observed effects and concluded that playing a lot of violent video games as a child is a poor predictor of aggression later in life. That's it.

You can easily get a medium-sized TV these days for $200. You need an internet connection for utilitarian purposes anyway, and with that you can watch a number of cheap or free streaming services, not to mention old-fashioned airwaves TV.

I would say that having a modicum of entertainment/escapism at the end of the day is a reasonably fundamental creature-comfort that we shouldn't be judging people for spending their limited money on.
Yup, the future is looking pretty sinister these days. It’s all about tech being used to surveil and control people and parasitic companies commodifying the data they produce.

The free and open internet died when Facebook and social media became ubiquitous...it’s very much degraded since its heyday in the late-90s and early 2000’s. And who knew that the government would compel YouTube, Twitter and Facebook to censor content on their behalf.

Companies like Palintir are working with LEAs to develop pre-crime algorithms and there was a financial institution that recently floated the idea of using a person’s internet search history to rate their credit worthiness.

The tech “revolution” was a bait and switch scam. The internet, smart phones, social media etc. were sold as tools to complement life and make doing certain things easier and more convenient. Instead we got a system of control that makes us dependent on technology that has effectively replaced life with a degraded digital facsimile so that a bunch of parasitic middlemen can make a lot of money. Just look at Twitter, a platform that brings out the worst in people or Facebook, which openly manipulates its users psychologically.

We were promised a utopia but a dystopia is what we got. And now we’re stuck in it with no easy way out.
