The title is misleading, the people here are advocating for studying the issue/technology not for implementing it (yet).
>Fine, but the police level of suspicion is not relevant.

Of course it is. The police aren't the sole decision maker in the process, but as a rule if they don't think you did it you won't get arrested. Conversely if they think they can prove you did it you probably will end up getting arrested.

>Again, your word cannot exonerate you but it can absolutely get you charged or even convicted.

Sure it can. Juries and the police are fallible and can be swayed by a convincing performance. Jeffrey Dahmer, as an infamous example, managed to get the police to return one of his drugged victims by convincing them he was drunk and it was a lovers quarrel.
North of Toronto, Vaughan specifically, quite a few homes on our street selling for slightly under $2m. Over the last two years, three homes were sold to Chinese nationals who never even set foot in them. Viewings were all via video.

The transactions were all brokered /over/ asking price in cash and are sitting empty ever since. They remove the snow, they do basic maintenance, and everything is again documented via video and shipped off to confirm a job done.

Many families came for the listing but all were outbid with much more favourable terms, quick closing, no inspection, no approval required for funds, etc.

The money is definitely being parked in many pockets of the city via Real Estate. Is it exclusively Chinese? No, but they are by far the larger demographics that parks the money in the home and keeps it empty. I've seen others invest in Canada as a means to get citizenship faster but they usually rent out the homes to generate some money back.

Whats there to complain about? Agents are making their commission, the city is getting their taxes, the province is cashing it on their taxes. Everyone is happy.

If I have Bitcoin how do I convert it into energy to power something else?
They publish an article in the atlantic.com
Its price certainly can appreciate for many reasons but that’s not my point. The price of BTC price is backstopped by the sunk cost of mining. Every time the price has fallen below the cost of production miners deactivate and the price stabilizes. If a miner’s opex goes to zero (due to cheap or free renewable energy) in the future there will be no incentive to stop mining during a crash and prices will go to $0.
Suppose this were true - I am not enough of an expert to say either way, though I feel somewhat skeptical about it - is this the most important problem for us to be solving right now?

I'm not anti-natalist. I want and intend to have children. But the world doesn't really need more humans than it already has. We're not adequately providing for them all.

Let me ask a naive question: If the birth rates in Western nations decline, and populations stabilize and stop growing, what's so bad about that?
I have read that. Before yesterday, it was all I had read.

Have you read the article I linked? It includes many repulsive statements that have nothing to do with trans issues.

There are many instances where Stallman defended pedophilia, pedophiles, and child molestation, usually claiming that all of these things are fine if the child appears to consent.

He also criticizes people who raise children with Down's syndrome and suggests that a child with Down's syndrome is a "pet".

There are lots of people in this world with a loved one with Down's syndrome or with a history of being abused as a child. How could those people work with him? Hell, I wouldn't even want him around my children.
I read about that and will definitely plan on visiting. Thanks!
Is there a sync issue on your YT video? It seems like the audio and yellow line are not moving together. I'd also consider cropping the videos beginning, better lighting, and better audio quality.
Short Story on AI: Forward Pass
> U.K. police, who regularly use sketching interviews and work with psychology researchers as part of the nation’s switch to non-guilt-assumptive questioning, which officially replaced accusation-style interrogations in the 1980s and 1990s after scandals involving wrongful conviction and abuse.

I wonder if this explains a trope I notice in British detective TV shows but not in American ones. Writers have the fictional detectives speculatively throwing around accusations whenever they have a vaguely plausible guess as to what might have happened. Apparently in the hopes that it will scare the accused into confessing right then and there.

Ten minutes into the investigation, and based on no evidence, the detective will say something like, "You were in love with your best friend's husband, weren't you? You wanted him for yourself, and jealousy is the reason that you killed her, isn't it?" And the just-accused person will reply, "Hardly. It's well known among all of us that I felt he was a terrible husband and encouraged her to leave him." And then both will continue on as if all that was no big deal and you can't fault the detective for asking.

Was this once a real technique, and now there's a cultural perception of it still lingering? I'm sure fictional portrayals are inaccurate everywhere, but this particular thing seems unique to British shows.
Hm, that's a setup that I never even considered, but it poses interesting problems, how could I help to make the program work for you? The 'labels' could be turned into speech probably, but the visuals would be a lot harder.
Looks great really, but the Google-only auth put me off. Are you planning to add other options to create an account?
I critique that their source does not actually say what they claim it says: Nowhere in there is a 95% number, it doesn't give any percentage at all about how much can be recycled.

All it states is that "it can be recycled" and how "90% of its potential energy still remains", which is about as useful as declaring the plastic problem as solved because "plastic can be recycled".

That makes the 95% number an assertion without evidence, as such, it can be dismissed without evidence.
There are so many issues besides just saving for a downpayment.

How will you keep a job that supports the mortgage? Companies are exceedingly disloyal and looking to cut labor costs whenever possible, whole industries go through huge labor contraction, not to mention accumulating effects of automation.

Even if I saved a downpayment, I would not feel comfortable entering into a mortgage like this at all. It just adds stress to your life and you get none of the independence or peace of mind you expect to get from private property ownership.
To be clear, my earlier comment was made in jest. I’m familiar with the Broad Street outbreak, but I’m not aware that religious theories were commonplace among scientists of the time. Notably that science wasn’t taken seriously by society more broadly doesn’t mean that the science of the time was “tainted by religion” (I say this as a religious person). Perhaps we’re making different points: mine is that science today is contaminated by a fervor resembling religion (though I don’t want to overstate the problem—overwhelmingly I think the effect is very low for the time being and I suspect it is highest in areas that are most pertinent to the ideology in question, which thankfully tends not yet to be the hard sciences or engineering disciplines lest our bridges fail, buildings collapse, and rockets explode on the launchpad).
Honestly, I wish IBM all the best. This is such a closed technology that there is no point in aporoaching it for me.
Well to be fair, you shouldn't accuse someone of something they aren't, or something they didn't do.

For instance, it'd be incredibly unfair for me to accuse you of being a jackass for a comment like this, when I know nothing about you... it'd also be equally unfair for me to assume you're an authoritarian... because I don't know anything about you, and therefore have no reason to make such an assumption.

Sort of like the teachers in the prior comments.
Jesus certainly would not use armed force to get people to pay for others health care or to under threat of violence make them give to the poor. For this reason socialism is not compatible with Christianity. Thou shalt not steal, also not via the proxy or the democratic state.

Jesus beat the merchants in the temple, called the Jews who refused him and later had him killed the “synagogue of Satan”, said that they who have a sword but keep it sheathed would inherit the world, so it’s not crazy to interpret him as a leader of freedom-lovers with guns who in order to please the spirit that created them must out of free will help their fellow brothers and sisters

Energy for the home and nearly every other electricity demanding enterprise easily outbids bitcoin miners. There’s a reason they have to go the there ridiculously remote places to set up operations.
Given how US carriers tend to rebrand stuff (see: Verizon's "4G LTE" in my hometown is/was HSPA+, a 3G technology), this is my view on it. "5G" will likely be real 4G outside larger cities.

That's a submission I made now 7 years ago that has both an article on the topic and a lot of good discussion.

Summary: Complex language at the time impeded compiler development. Compilers were not free (like C with Unix systems). People don't like being told what to do (Ada was initially mandated by DoD for new systems). The compilers remained very expensive into the 90s, by which time open source compilers were out there but the momentum was against Ada. Even after the open source compilers, commercial ones are still (today) very expensive.

Stop pitying yourself and go for a nice bike ride or a run. Take a little melatonin and go to bed at 930. Take a shroom microdose and go for a walk. Have a coffee. Meditate. Change your scenery.

Do all of these simple things and you’ll feel fresh. You’re caught too deep in your fake perceptions of your life and the world.

I would describe your statement of german to be accurate in terms of how I've been learning it. I'd classify myself as a soft A1 but i have a decent vocabulary built up and can generally understand what a sentence is saying even if I don't know all the words. The foundation of the language is vital to learning it and as a native English stuck in SVO, the german sentence structure gets weird fast. But then it just clicked. Like oh I know where to put that now! The hard part i have is knowing which specific word to use because in context the meaning of it could change based off of how a native would use it. Honestly, the conjugations don't scare me so much as they used to. I'm not good at all with like accusative, genitive, etc but I don't think twice when altering verbs.
He was using the equivalent of a Facebook infographic to "prove" that epidemiologists are wrong.

His type believes that scientists are part of a cabal that is lying to the public for nefarious reasons.

I won't say that he himself is deranged, but his thought pattern on this issue is.

Anyhow, for those who believe in science:

I hear you, and I go through the same cycle myself, albeit seemingly not quite as extreme from your explanations. It still sucks.

I spread myself too thin. I noticed you essentially said “I do well at work, then do well at personal projects, then I’m burnt out.”

Have you tried cutting out the side projects and just minimizing your self expectations of output, temporarily even?

Usually when I find myself in this vicious cycle, it is because I have spread myself too thin, and I’m feeling stressed to perform well with everything I have my hand in. I’ve learned that, if I allow myself to fall into that hole, that I end up outputting less than I would if I just took the extra X months or whatever and didn’t trying to cram everything into the same window of time.

After being a startup founder for 3 years and incurring quite a mental and financial toll, I decided to become a salaried worker again and let everything else fall to the side for the next X years.

Sure, I’m not on the track of founding my own business right now. But you know what, that’s ok, I’m really enjoying life and the journey along the way!

Again, there is probably more specifics and situational details to your predicament, but I hope this may give you some more food for thought. Best wishes to you my friend.
Rand is an author who is taken as a philosopher by the libertarians. In my view, her work has spawned some of the least constructive political behavior in modern US political history. Do you agree with the viewpoints expressed by Rand Paul and his father, for instance? Or of trickle down economics and the pull yourself up by your bootstraps fallacy?

Rand's work is like the Bible, fiction that has far more negative than positive consequences on our community-based democratic society. I'd happily debate the deleterious effects of either of these ouvres, not that they aren't "interesting" or thought provoking as you say, but that they're exerting negative consequences on American Life.

5G can be many things, but it isn't gigabit wireless speeds, or low latency, or smart microwaves. It can enable those technologies, but what it really is is a telecommunications standard, telling companies how to build out networks.

5G uses the same radio waves that 4G has, in many cases - T-Mobile US, for example, uses 600MHz and 2.5GHZ frequencies for 5G (and 4G). Sprint has been using 2.5GHz for 4G since 2008.

The biggest change that 5G could bring today honestly is capacity - if you've ever tried to use LTE in a busy train station, you can tell the impact that congestion has on that network's subscribers. Thousands of people connected to a few cells leads to significant slowdown. Generally, higher frequencies lead to shorter range and higher throughput, so in specific circumstances like Airports[0] with multiple antennas, 5G can allow for much higher throughput to many devices at once, alleviating congestion.

5G can also more efficiently make use of spectrum, which means 5G networks can reach further than 4G networks built on the same frequency.

There's a lot more to this, and I'd recommend reading into the Wikipedia page[1] on 5G for an in-depth look if you have time - but the basics are, 5G is a standard, not any one set of devices or antennas or expectations.

The cursor is moving at indicated tempo, I'm a bit ahead of that but whenever I hesitate it - rapidly - catches up with me. Having the cursor advance at speeds higher than indicated tempo is re-inforcing bad behavior so I have so far not implemented that, though technically it is possible.

Better lighting and better audio are noted, this was just a quick & dirty demo of the program in action with the tools at hand.
Capturing as in storing? Simply knowing where the heat is/goes doesn't really make it easy usable. You can heat up water for example but what if no one need warm water there?
Also often additional energy is useless just to move the heat away fast enough.
I think the outrage is warranted, but software engineers allowed this precedent many years ago. I can see the parallels between this and "security" software that is highly invasive. Software that installs itself in your certificate chain to decrypt all TLS communication, companies like Netskope that offer bridges with admin cloud credentials and check up on all changes you make to cloud documents, or the infinite array of software that captures every keystroke or file saved and filters it for patterns and reviews by a human. There's also software where a company can get a live capture of your desktop, though I've never discovered it in use. If you tell the average Jill/Joe about this, generally you'll see a reaction of shock, where if you tell an engineer about it they shrug it off.

When you allow the surveillance state of the government to continue to expand you can expect the nanny behaviors of corporations to expand too.
Robin Lane Fox, a historian, in his book _Unauthorized Version: Truth and Fiction in the Bible_, wrote that as he finished this book, "a friend reminded me that I had once remarked to him that I believed in the Bible but not in God. . . . Twenty-five years later, this book has turned out to be an explanation of what I meant."

The history of the Jewish and Christian scriptures and the subsequent history of the many faith communities who read them, shows how much time and effort people have spent trying to understand themselves and the world.

What Is Trunk Based Development? A Different Approach
Is it truly necessary that all these drivers run in the kernel space?

I bet a lot of drivers are just interfacing with a standard serial line which could be done in the stable user space and then exposing the next layer through something like FUSE.

If I understand treble correctly that’s close to what Android is doing, where each HAL can be done in userspace?

Learning to read music just gives you some formal and consistent tools with which to learn and share music. If you are only playing by ear and always independently creating the music, you definitely don't need to learn how to read sheet music. I think this probably matches well with the big shift in general learning from textbooks to resources like YouTube. It is limited though; could you imagine a symphony orchestra working with a composer if no one knew how to read music?

I'm not sure why you equate the more formal techniques of music with a lack of joy. This seems a false distinction like ranking oral storytelling traditions over the written word. Sometimes the most passionate lovers of a topic seek to understand how it works, which typically requires deep mastery of the theory and foundational concepts. You're welcome to improvise but that's a very different approach. Ironically the best improvisors often have the deepest technical competence; art still has rules and some things work better than others.

That means making personal observations and/or consulting various witnesses and authorities.

What the hell is is with cryptocurrency proponents and trying to redefine words to suit their narrative? First Bitcoin was NOT fiat currency (despite being one of the most fiat currencies by definition), then it was also a store of value (despite it being a horrible store of value, a high-risk high-reward investment is more accurate). Now it's supposed to be a battery? When the energy being put into it is basically pure waste?

There is no way to make aluminum other than putting huge amounts of energy. Aluminum has value to everyone in some way, not just those invested in it. There are plenty of ways to do digital transactions, or even to do proof-of-work cryptocurrency (if you feel that's necessary), besides using Bitcoin. With aluminum you can even reverse the process and use it as an actual battery. With Bitcoin you can't. The energy is burned forever.

I really do think cryptocurrency and block-chain technology is cool. But the level of hype and double-think is getting insane.
You need a heat gradient to take advantage of it. An uniformly hot place like Venus is a hard thermodynamic place.

Mercury and our moon are actually interesting in that regard. I had similar fantasies as a kid, a huge pipe with a thermal fluid taking advantage of the difference in temperature between the cool and warm side of the planet/moon.

But with today’s prices on solar panels, this will probably never happen.

I’m sorry if my comment offended you. The goal of my comment was not to put the blame on China but rather share a real life story of a close relative and correlate his experience with the current state of real estate in Canada (Toronto specifically).

To add value to this discussion, it would help others and myself if you could elaborate on why it “does not add up”. Just stating that without providing details is a disservice to those who you claim are trying to shape the narrative.

FYI: I did not downvote any comments on this topic. I'm looking to hear everyone's thoughts.
I've seen this argument, but i never understand the people making this argument. China is called the factory of the world, and it is undeniable that a lot of chinese labor force works in manufacturing. So if jobs weren't lost due to outsourcing, then what are these industries and jobs doing in china? I think the standard response is that usa's manufacturing output has increased, but comparing 1970s manufacturing output to 2020 isn't at all fair. You need to consider the alternate world, where globalism wasn't this big a force, and most manufacturing stayed in usa. There would be even more manufacturing in USA, so globalism did lead to job loss.
Other than repeating JP, can you actually cite this?
