This is pure flamebait, attributing malice for its own sake to administrators and dismissing the externalities as 'virtue points' - equivalent to saying you don't care about people who are bothered by noise or heavy gasoline fumes.

I'm happy to see changes like this as it's something I've complained about for years; multiple properties in my area used these sort of services, and I'd frequently have to deal with the dust and dirt from their property being blown onto mine, along with noise and bad smells. I also felt bad for the operators who were exposed to that every day. So I am one of those people who has spent years nudging for a regulatory change.

Why, exactly, should anyone support a business model that can only be profitable by dumping its weaknesses on to other people? I mean, if you want to use a potentially dangerous product and the risks fall only on you, you have an absolute right to do that. But you have no right to accrue benefits while dumping the risk onto someone else.

>There doesn't need to be a disclosure notice on shitcoin shilling for a reasonable person to assume that it is a risky investment that may result in 100% lows.

Where do you draw the line? If "shitcoins" are open season for fraudsters, what's next? micro-cap/penny stocks? gamestop/hertz?
But how much would a person value an inventory system? For retailers there are financial impacts so that they can maximize inventory turns and minimize lost sales.

If I run out of spaghetti it's a minor inconvenience and there isn't a clear financial impact.
Is it also 72% accurate for income level?

I think the incomes of people on the right skew lower, or they have fashions for makeup, facial hair etc. I'd be interested in an adversarial attack on the classifier.
That's what the turbo button was for.
They have lost some of the magic I think. I remember as a child doing something similar with games. Back then I wasn't as skilled with games, and as a kid in the 90s it wasn't common to ask your mom or dad to "beat this level for you" because they were often worse than you.

So I'd just play the same levels over and over again. It would take me years to eventually beat Wing Commander 2 and 3. But it wasn't repetitive because I didn't feel any pressure to actually beat the game. I think I was actually more invested in exploring the logic of the game and creating imaginative storylines instead of actually getting invested in the game.

This one alternate mode of play contrasts to my kids where they seem to have two modes of play. One where they do the same thing and just explore game mechanics while dying over and over, and another where they actually want to make forward progress and often reach out for help. Luckily my generation is more acclimated to this type of interaction so we help out where in the past we would just struggle along or get sidetracked.

In my experience, automod ruins subs. Post something.. get notification.. removed by automod
Background: I've studied graphic design, illustration and fine art before becoming a software dev.

The only right answer, unless you enjoy drawing for its own sake and don't mind learning for at least 6 months before you're any good, is to hire someone from fiverr or some other similar service.

Creative work has plummeted in price and gone up 10x in quality over the past 15 years. You can find someone to do illustrations for you for as low as 10-20$/piece. That's insane value. Good illustrators are like good pianists - it requires daily practice. Spend a little cash and focus on what you're already good at :)

You should watch more of these two, Clark and Dawe on YouTube. Behind the humor is biting commentary but a lot of education, I learned a lot through their humorous and pretend political interviews as an American about the Australian government and even the European debt crisis.

How to Deploy a Powerful Virtual Event in Record Time
Trying my best! This is really confusing stuff, and I probably shouldn't have come out so hot with "This is false." Safari's rollout of ITP broke my company's code three times over, so I've been in the weeds on this for a while.

I think you're missing that setting cookies alone isn't what allowed evil.com to sync identities. They needed to set the cookie from one site, and receive that same cookie when the user visited a different site.

With CNAME cloaking, it's true that EvilCo can set cookies on both evil.foo.com and evil.bar.com. But when a user is on evil.foo.com, there's no way to make a request to evil.bar.com that includes evil.bar.com's cookies. This is the mechanism that stops syncing identities.

Does that help?
I wonder if the facility will be called a SPARCstation.
The political scientist Morris Fiorina is who you want to start with. His book "Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America" provides a great overview with lots of data.

A central finding is precisely that people appear polarized when you measure badly, but when you really delve into their nuanced beliefs with better surveys and more accurate questions, the bell curve is apparent everywhere and polarization disappears.

And I don't know where one sees non-normal preference patterns. Regulation is a great example -- very few people believe in zero regulation, and very few in extreme regulation. People overwhelmingly prefer a moderate amount. Of course, whatever the objective measurement is, you may need a logarithmic scale or something else for it to show up as truly Gaussian -- as well as not limiting the range of responses. But on any modern issue of society-wide disagreement, one virtually always finds it to have a single central peak (as opposed to two peaks or more, or increasing/decreasing monotonically).
You are misrepresenting my comment, which I wrote only because you said "I feel like I've learned literally nothing from any of them".

I indicated that affect, not consciousness, is imagined. Furthermore, I indicated (which you entirely overlooked) that consciousness is independent of affect. Take that as a working theory, and you just might discover something new.

Discard whatever you've read in the last 10-15 years, and start afresh; otherwise, you'll just be rehashing the same old same old.
> But if I was presented with a game of similar magnitude today I'd have a pretty muted reaction

Or maybe not. I'm yet to see any modern game that would even remotely approach the magnitude of SC2. So far, the closest competitor was the original Mass Effect game, itself clearly influenced by Star Control games, but even it failed to surpass it.
We keep finding new ways to make fission safer and reducing risk of runaway scenario but I'm pretty sure we'll never reach zero risk. Sure we might reach it on paper but human error can always happen. Chernobyl operators thought their reactor design had zero risk of exploding, current reactors are much safer but I'm pretty sure the risk isn't zero.
That should be in the digital bill of rights.

This should be impressive considering that humans are very good at picking other human faces.
If it refuses going there altogether, then it is level 5. If it goes anyway and waits for you to take over while parking safely, then it is a level 4.
Linux Kernel Selftests
And if you flash a good custom OS like GrapheneOS, maybe LineageOS without microG, then Google doesn't track you even if you use their hardware. Even better if you use a secure OS like GrapheneOS or standard AOSP without Google Play Services or bloatware.
I had a original nook which had truly awful software. Even the library function where you select books was truly painful to use and couldn't even search both books you had downloaded and those you had paid for electronically so I jailbreaked it with a tool that relied on loading a url with an exploit in its browser and gained in addition to a library app that worked everything from a twitter client, to dictionaries, to pandora.

Ultimately the functionality didn't interfere with the built in reader software or OS because it was entirely orthogonal the extra functionality was more icons on the launch screen. It didn't need the developers to create much in the way of extension points save for the expectations that the launch screen wasn't hard coded but rather it would let you select from whatever apps were installed. Something pretty common in basically every OS.

If your work doesn't have some degree of natural separation between A and B I don't know how you can possibly have made it work in the first place.
I don't know, and I don't think anyone does. It depends on lots of things including funding and what other unknown unknowns there are on the tech/eng tree.

What I do know is that superconducting magnets have been getting cheaper, more powerful, and more compact for quite some time and that's one of the limiting factors on fusion reactor designs. I also know that there is no known physical barrier to net-positive fusion, only engineering barriers.

If I had to totally guess I'd say someone will show net-positive fusion for a brief period of time before 2030... assuming the funding is present. It will not be a fully viable power plant yet but a proof of concept. This will be followed by a huge bump in funding and a race to produce power plants.

... but that's a guess.

It's like asking "when will there be a human base on Mars?" We know it's possible and I think it will happen, but I don't know how long it will actually take. We could probably have one in 5 years if someone wanted to write a blank check.

I would bet that we could have a fusion PoC in 5 years if someone wrote a blank check and fully funded many different credible efforts.
The hot dog emoji is what really makes this special
Gas mowers are definitely not zero maintenance, at least not past 10 years. I've replaced my fair share of gaskets & spark plugs, cleaned out intakes, and spent 20m screwing with the choke to get the damn things started.

I went pure electric 5 years ago with no problems. Starts up every time with the push of a button and since I bought a set, it came with multiple batteries so I can swap them out before fully depleting one for extended life.
Of course. Thanks for stating a lot of mostly obvious things.

Assuming there is a test suite (I really don't know enough about Linux kernel testing, sorry), it is a matter of testing that on a representative set of configurations. Apparently no-one thought of having one with a swap file instead of a swap partition. That's okay, it's an understandable oversight, but one that clearly should be remedied.

I can easily imagine that not a single person passing this change ever thought about that

I can easily imagine they did. Who's right? People have been raising this issue for years, the idea did not just fall out of the sky. I'm unclear why the people who have been putting up with the problem for a long time need to coddle the people creating the problem any longer.
I think it's just the novelty of things. And the free time aspect.

I remember playing Dragon Warrior on NES late into the night with friends. Grinding away to get that next item and leveling up to fight bigger monsters. It was really fun, really exciting.

A few years ago I got an emulator and fired it up. Played about 5 minutes before I couldn't continue. Just didn't have the desire to grind away. And the emulator had a fastfoward button, which I found. So I just kept zipping around and running into monsters, not even wanting to spend the time to fight them. Spoiled because I didn't have to die, I could just reset to a save point.

I dunno. Maybe that just happens when you get old. Maybe it's just that there's so much instant gratification. I remember playing zelda and meticulously making maps on graph paper etc. Today you can just look it up on the internet in a minute and print a glorious, in color complete map.

It's just not the same anymore.

My problem with shorts is that FTDs are not punished. The punishment for a hedge fund, or other large financial firm should be painful. CEO throwing temper tantrums on Bloomberg painful. Not crippling or debilitating, but just painful enough to make these bag holders think about the potential consequences of their actions before they short.

An FTD should have an automatic fine and liquidation event to allow immediate delivery.

When I don't pay my bills my services get cut off and I get fined. Favourably treating company failures differently than consumers is about as anti-capitalist as things can get. This dichotomy is prima facie evidence that the stock market has been designed to be in favor of whoever has the biggest bag of cash/deepest rolodex and against the American people who despite our massive exposure to the markets have virtually no say in their operations nor the individual companies therein.
Oh man, this is the best news I've heard all week. I loved Secret City. Thanks for this.
There are several advantages:

A fusion reactor doesn't create create long-lived radioactive waste (or any kind of pollution).

A fusion reactor cannot be used to create nuclear weapons.

A fusion reactor doesn't require any form of mining for it's fuel.

A fusion reactor cannot meltdown in any way.

Due to these inherent safety features, the costs associated with the regulation and engineering a fusion power plant could be much lower than a fission plant.
Because they don't know confidently which user is logged in. A lot of the marketing tools rely on insecure signals, like a userID passed directly from javascript.

If you want to trigger actions rather than observe them, you need a secure way of authenticating those actions. That's why Clerk does session management :)
I should have used the full statement "...and desires" as it is the desires part that I quibble with the most.

If you are mean predictive from the perspective of big data, e.g. differences in search term rates of those that identify as men vs those that identify as women (in as much as search terms represent the modern capture of an individual's needs), maybe. I can believe without presented evidence that there is positive predictive power there and that it is currently being used/exploited.

It is worth calling out that is reductive with the hope that it will trigger a shift in language used to be more inclusive.
If it costs some services more to upgrade than others then they will be in trouble. If enforcement is nonuniform than it will also be an issue. But if both of these can be controlled then it's really just those consumers that could only barely afford a lawn service in the first place that get left in the cold.

Enforcement shouldn't be excessively difficult. Cops can write citations for illegal equipment, and if a company routinely ignores the citations they could get in real trouble. Give the companies plenty of time (a year or two) to phase in the new equipment as well. Make sure the change is well publicized, especially in Hispanic media. If the city was really proactive they could task an intern with calling every lawn service company in the city 6 months before the law goes into effect and make sure each one has a plan to transition in time.

The enforcement is key however. These sorts of regulations will be ignored 100% if they aren't enforced. Escalating fines are necessary, they have to make it more expensive to break the law than comply, or the companies that cheat will win.
The question isn't whether there's value here. They've got revenue and you can't dispute that.

The question is whether they're worth 13x more than a valuation of 500 million dollars.
Yeah, it's gotten a little better recently(dunno if it's just because of weather), but there was a long stretch where every day I would go out to my backyard and, on any given day of the week, there was someone mowing or weed whacking nearby. Weed whacking is almost worse because people love to "rev" the weed whacker constantly instead of just holding down the button. But yeah, it almost entirely ruins the suburban experience for me because there are so few moments when you can just sit outside during the day without having some obnoxious motor running somewhere.

Then again, I'm also averse to the lengths people go through to maintain landscaping. Landscaping is necessary, but so many homeowners care so much about property values that they want everything to constantly appear uniform. Some neighbors even rat on each other to their HOA if one person went an extra week without mowing.
> It's impossible for there to have been a significant presence of the virus in the United States at the start of 2020, as claimed by seroprevalence data, because within a matter of weeks it would have infected a large enough percentage of the population to be clearly visible in the above-baseline mortality rates, and hospitalization rates.

This is only true if we presume that it was equally spread across risk strata. But it's also possible that it didn't make its way from younger travelers into the higher risk stratum in sufficient measure to start causing significant mortality for weeks.

> A large percentage of people who catch COVID end up going to the hospital

This is simply false, unless your definition of 'large' is a fraction of a percent.

> In a pre-quarantine/lockdown world, they also tend to get everyone around them, as well as a whole bundle of unrelated people sick in the process.

This is true of a lockdown world as well; in fact lockdowns don't appear to be negatively correlated with population-level mortality at all, spare a very few examples, all of which are island nations which have also maintained various travel bans and similar measures. But in the USA and mainland Europe, lockdown states have fared quite horribly. I can't tell you how happy I am to be in Florida (no lockdown, mortality substantially below average, risk-adjusted mortality notably and incredibly low) instead of my home state of NY (intense lockdowns and a resulting bloodbath).

I don't see any reason to believe that widespread presence of the virus would have been noticed as anything but an uptick in ILInet (which of course we did see) until it got into long-term care homes and other places with high concentrations of at-risk populations.

> Either the seroprevalence data is wrong

Again, this is possible; I'm not saying it's not. But it has been reproduced over 20 times now, with different tests, some of which appear to have a perfect record of selectivity and also good record of sensitivity.

> or the virus was somehow uncontagious or unlethal, until March, when all across the country, all at once, somehow, it turned into something that was quite contagious, and quite lethal.

In the vast majority of the population, the virus isn't particularly lethal. That's really the discussion here - whether it might have spread more widely through the lower-risk strata prior to widespread infections among the vulnerable.
Zuckerberg wants Congress to pass privacy laws only because that may preempt state level laws. If the states do it, there will be a mix of laws, some of which will inevitably hurt Facebook. This is a common tactic and is made easier by the easy money in DC.

It doesn't address any of the points mentioned in the article, and in fact, doesn't address the general theme of the article.

There is no subtext at all, the article is simple and clear, and one would be hard pressed to think that the author is trying to force anyone to do anything while reading it.
That reasoning sounds like a logical fallacy:

2. Personality traits influence political views
3. Looks are inherited

Was it really more important? A lot of local news, and news in general, really is clickbait aimed at attention-grabbing or paid pieces.

It's still people behind tech. It's just that they can reach much farther today than they ever did. But phrasing it like that sounds like yet another attempt of the humanities to demonize something they can't understand (or control). Like regimes pushing for internet censorship.
