You've successfully made the opposite side's point. You cite election-fraud misinformation as "leading to deaths", which is misinformation itself: the 5 deaths at the Capitol were 3 rioters having a heart attack, stroke, and apparently trampled; 1 rioter shot by a security person; and 1 Capitol policeman who died the next day of causes unknown to his own family still, yet erroneously trumpeted by NYT etc. as being killed by a fire extinguisher.

And, armed with this disinformation, you propose to abandon one of the core societal principles which has allowed America to succeed beyond anyone's imaginations. Now hopefully you can see why everyone's alarmed about what's going on.
Well, one area that Gridcoin isn't / hasn't been availed for is the fact that it (like folding@home) has projects that helped do research on COVID. Although folding@home didn't provide any monetary reward - at least Rosetta@home is a supported GRC project. Obviously the token price would need to be higher to make the break even cost of the servers & mining feasible, but it is a neat project.

great idea, we are experiencing the same type of friction from our customers. We think we need to get it to something similar to cell phone contract from the 90's - $0 upfront, $X per month for 2 years

Everything old is new again...

It goes back to the late 70s with Stephen LaBerge's and Keith Hearne's research, but as far as I know, those experiments were always involving one-way communication.

A few years ago, the author of the awesome blog lucidcode, trained himself to communicate in Morse code with the outside world: https://lsdbase.org/2012/05/11/hello-dream-world/

I also recall someone doing a full-on two-way communication experiment involving eye signals and light flashes a couple years ago, but I don't remember the source.

I don't, do you? It's the slipperiest slope around, however. For instance:

In my state there was an executive order from the governor allowing mask mandates, but polling places were specifically excluded, because you simply cannot disallow people from voting.

Another very difficult problem. How can you enforce voter education without enabling voter suppression? I don't have an answer. I'm mainly here to point out that problems are hard.
Thanks for the references. I will check them out once I get a chance. I do know one of these papers and from my understanding the modeling bias is on underrepresented features or the long tail, which again can be thought as a data problem that can be solved with better data collection.

I do agree that in the real world datasets are often biased because they represent the real world... and there are indeed modeling approaches to address such issues. (e.g., designing a loss function to up/down weight of certain types of examples). There's nothing new about this, it's been known in ML for decades.
Most electric heaters are heat pumps which are significantly more efficient than heating via resistive or mining.

I wanted to write a computer language when I was still young and did not quite realize what a commitment that was. Like buying a parrot instead of a hamster.

Every compiler compiler description I could find rankled. Because I thought about how a code review works, how the human breaks down a block of code to figure out ah, this comma does not belong here. Then how to unpack that information for the tired intern (or classmate) so they understand why the compiler keeps saying "unexpected 'if' on line <five lines later>".

Compiler grammars, it turns out, have absolutely no compassion for humans, their stupid opinions, or their squishy little language cortex. I found that quite offputting. Revolting, even, so I put it down and came back later.

SGLR got close to "YES, I am not crazy!" but at the time I still thought 'write a PL' there was only one and it was not very good.

My mum was a restauranteur and I used to crunch the numbers for her on excel when I was a kid. Sit-down restaurants have more operating expenses because they have to pay more for labor for like waiters. People usually only buy certain products (a lot of profits came from some items like dumplings and also wine) which actually bring major profits to a restaurant. It is a lot harder to maintain selling many dishes at the same time because you need to hire more chef/cooks skilled in those dishes and also buy more ingredients and manage those ingredients' lifespan so its much easier to be profitable with a small menu of very profitable dishes or at least easier to cost manage.
I didn't know that. But, I'm not surprised. It's entirely possible that Ted Kaczynski is the plato we're looking for.
It seems to work well. I am an occasional contributor so I don't have very much power there but I understand that communities collapse without this control since they get dominated by drive-by losers. I'm not one, but there's no signal I can provide that I'm not one. Metafilter has the model where you spend money as a signal that you're not one. I guess I'd pay $20 one-time as an upgrade that is revocable.

I am a Wikipedia auto-confirmed user, so that lets me make articles without needing to go through the process, so that's nice.

The problem with all of these sites is that they don't also police the opposite side: the obsessive guy who spends all his time on the site and attaches all of his identity to it so he is just a negative person despite having lots of 'karma'-equivalent.

> Not a fan of revisionist theories and unsubstantiated fan fictions

I can understand that Indians feel a degree of humiliation at having been colonised by a comparatively rather small island nation, but bitterness an burying one's head in the sand is not going to change history. Trying to shutdown discussion by basically insulting others won't, either.

If what is now India had been a single, unified political entity it would have been much more difficult, if not impossible, for the British to take over the way they did. We can look at China as an example of that: While it was in a state of 'decay' that allowed a level of colonisation and land grab it was still an single, unified country that was able to resist complete takeover.

Note that I'm not making any judgment or attempt at justifying anything. I am just pointing out that what happened is what happened everywhere throughout history. The particularity of the period is perhaps what I mentioned in my previous comment: Europe's advance that allowed it to essentially subjugate the world. It is much more useful to learn from the past (and to learn from others) than to stay in the past.

It does, because it diverts money from the people who are actually harmed to people who advocate on their behalf; and raises the threshold for a class-action suit in general, as suits that are "too cheap" are not worth anyone's time.

I might be wrong. May be introducing a guest login without having to sign up but just to try out the product/tool makes more sense. I’ll note this down :)

I'll admit it's not great right now, but I don't know if I understand what you view as a use case? If using it to get things of value with it is not a use case, then what coin or currency has any use case? Everything is a transfer of value even beyond just currencies be it paid in time or other things

> Reward paid in, let me guess, more coins. self fueling like most other coins. Thats not a real usecase

It's also worth noting that you don't have to go through it if you use a pool, and there's work on making it not require pools if you don't want to start out with any Gridcoin. If you look up Gridcoin and "Manual rewards claim" you'll find some of the discussion about it.

> so it has religion-like properties, awesome /s not a use case

I was thinking more in terms of some of the reasons why Gridcoin's developers have Gridcoin - not necessarily advocating for others to do the same. I should have clarified that I didn't think this was a use case

I should also mention that having Gridcoin helps you in polls. Gridcoin has a system of polls and the polls are weighted by how much work you do in BOINC and how many coins you have. Note that it's your amount of those before a poll so you can't try to gain more influence after learning of a poll. It of course has its own issues and discussions about how or if votes should be weighted

I struggle to understand why this new theory is in any way original.

The way an artificial neural network actually functions can most certainly be interpreted as multiple sub-systems "voting" to reach a conclusion.

You can even explicitly design architectures to perform that task exclusively (mixture of experts).

Since ANNs were loosely designed on the way we assume the brain works ... back in the 50's ... how is this an original idea?

Am I missing something?

I agree with this. It would be helpful.
That isn't a problem unless you're discussing something where anonymity is key - or it wouldn't be if the internet didn't make anonymity the rule by default. Anonymity is really great for private citizens, but people trying to spread information need to be held to a higher standard since their words shouldn't be preemptively censored but must be held to account after the fact.

Oh also, taking away anonymity is quite dangerous as well - there isn't an easy answer here.

My point is why the need to hunt someone down? And yes, that is how I view it, a hunt. That isn't a comfortable feeling. I get that the info is harmless but the OP just couldn't help themselves but join in what I consider is a gross invasion of someones life, regardless of the persons state of living. And many here share the same opinion.

If I were on the receiving end of such a manhunt, discovering that numerous random strangers on the internet crowd hunted me, I would be sick to my stomach.
They list the outage as resolved but it's far from it. API access is failing with DNS errors and the frontpage is inaccessible from different places.

This is actually an optional feature, and not all Cortex-M parts implement it. All Cortex-M0 do not, some Cortex-M0+ also do not. Most Cortex-M3+ do. But Author keeps saying "Cortex-M0" which do not. Also, the part she is talking about is a Cortex-M0+ not a Cortex-M0 (big difference)
this is a good point, I mentioned that we are exploring the business model now.

I'm not disagreeing that JSON is used for data serialization, but your last comment just muddies the waters. There are plenty of things that are serial in nature, but have nothing to do with "serialization" in the sense of data marshalling. I guess that the term is kind of unfortunate.

Consider just how how many data formats are ultimately defined as a "serial stream of characters" -- and then consider how few of those you would practically use for marshalling a general data structure.
> why are all degrees four years?

Most people take the required hours over 4 years, but you certainly don't have to (you do have to plan since some classes are only offered at certain times). When I was in college I went year round so I could have a more even schedule and worked nearly full time. My wife did her undergrad in ~2.5 years after she got out the Army. She didn't go for the 'college experience', and just wanted to get done and move on.

> it could well be that Christianity was only referenced as a gateway, as a precedence for a form of Judaism that welcomed people not born Jewish, but that the goal wasn't at all Christianity (from far away), but an opened up version of the local Judaism.

Apart from the human motivation element, you're getting there as to what the Islamic view is. The Quran does talk of Jews as the chosen people of God whom he will gather back in Israel, but also mentions that their misfortune (at being thinly spread out and not collected in their homeland) is because of divine punishment for their waywardliness (which the Quran does not cease to stress upon a lot). Islam is considered to be Judaism v2 and out of closed beta, within the Quranic text itself. Obviously some of the strongly worded verses calling Jews misguided heretics is misinterpreted and largely the "divine proof" for a lot of animosity from the Muslim community towards Jews in general. The influence of Jews on Islam cannot be underestimated. Some Jewish kings, apart from the usual prophets in Islam, such as Shamir Yuharish of Himyar (modern Yemen) are still fairly popular in the Arabian peninsula among Arabic Muslims. In fact, we had to learn about them as expat students in an Arabic country as part of the regional history lessons.
That is what OP was talking about: after you've done the change, make a commit with just that tiny refactoring. Once you're done and ready to review your work, you can cherry pick just that fix and move it to main / master / it's own PR. Since it is self-contained, it can be processed by itself only.

The manufacturer/google installed apps really undermine what little trust I have in Android security. If you do a normal OS update, the old version is gone.

It's not inherit to the card, rather it's pulled via info from the card network (visa/mc/amex/etc). Stripe, for example, returns `card.funding` which is either credit, debit, prepaid, or unknown - blocking anything other than credit or debit isn't bad for SaaS businesses who doesn't want prepaid cards anyways[0].
