Tents aren't either. We should tell homeless people because they don't seem to be aware.

When people in charge do not care, some people have the courage to look for achievable betterment. If I was homeless, I would really prefer the dog house and I would be glad somebody really cared. Plus they look great.

Shanty towns aren't a solution but they are the best achievable solution to the people that build them.

Or is it really a lack of care or do homeless people have the social role of reminding working people what could happen to them if they decided to did not want to do that shitty job anymore ?

I am aware that homelessness is problem that is more complex than it seems. Unsurprisingly, those who fall into homelessness, generally start in life some kind of handicap whether it is a psychological, social or physical handicap. Drug abuse is a real problem but experiments show that a more stable and less stressful life leads to reduced and better drug use patterns rather than buy all the drug you can because there might be no tomorrow. I won't go into discussing whether drug abuse is a cause or consequence of homelessness as it can be both or none. Having said all that, I doubt there's any political will to "solve" as those people don't vote, just get the cops to make them go away from the places where people who vote live. But It's possible I am being cynical.
This laptop from 2009, a core duo, has been maxed out to 8 GB and one 1 TB SSD disk, and running the latest W10 Pro version.

I still do C++, .NET and Java programming on it just fine, use Office, Adobe software, and it is docker free.

Organ donation isn’t a hot issue where I’m from and I imagine that most people here will like such a policy, but I’m honestly surprised by the push back in this thread. Why? The honest question I want to ask is: do people think that they still own their bodies when they die?
I unfortunately don't know of any services that do this non destructively. However, there are scanner designs that Archive.org use to scan rare books. I'll try to find references but I think they'll require construction - afaik, no one sells such a scanner ready to purchase.

Edit: Ask and ye shall receive: https://www.amazon.com/Fujitsu-ScanSnap-SV600-Overhead-Scann... - had no idea this existed. Very tempting - Fujitsu makes solid scanners .

Maybe it depends on the country. But after working with homeless people in the Netherlands I completely agree with you.

I helped homeless people who had a job but could not afford a house anymore for different reasons. Most were helped with housing after some time. But if that time is long the temptation to take more alcohol than you should is right around the corner.

After reading up a little on this, it seems to me to be one of those cases where every judge and every internet commenter will have their own opinion. Any attempt at an objective ruling is impossible.

I will say though that the comparisons with Google vs Oracle are meaningless. It is clear that the Warhol Estate's legal team doesn't understand the underlying concepts and/or are trying a very creative interpretation of the ruling to suit their needs.

> Do we have agency over our own bodies or not?

Right up until the point it's no longer your own body because you're dead, yes.

> To take it to extremes, should the government be able to take “spare” kidneys from live donors?

No, they're not dead.

> Should criminals be forced to donate blood?

No, but again, they're not dead.

> What about children that die in child birth should they be harvested for organs too?

The law only covers adults with the opt-out which would make this another no.

> Where does the line stop?

Pretty much exactly where the law says it does - "All adults in England will be considered as having agreed to donate their own organs when they die unless they record a decision not to donate (known as ‘opting out’) or are in one of the excluded groups."

[edit: Missed the A in "All"]
1. Pay dead people? Why? How would that work?

2. Opt-out is not the same as forcing people

3. Dead people can't be forced to do anything, they are dead
Great, now calculate how much a flywheel system that stores that much energy will cost vs cheap concrete blocks. Magnetic bearings and large vacuum chambers do not come cheap.
That's a neat idea. Industrial Origami had something like that. They were founded in 2002 and went bust some time in 2005. I saw their funding presentation. They had a nice technique for stamping and cutting flat sheets of metal into forms that could be hand-folded into useful objects like electrical boxes. After folding, they locked into position. They had some CAD tools to design this. It was all very proprietary, there are about 20 patents, and it didn't take off.
How efficient the system is? If, say, the machine uses 100KW to lift the weight, what's the output?
> tongue-in-cheek or in jest

How so? I didn't get this interpretation at all, so I'm curious what you think.
I guess it depends on the nature of the disorder but if it is something that can cause problems for the recipients, it might be good to confirm with a doctor beforehand and opt-out, if advised. That indeed doesn't catch cases where a person doesn't know if they have a genetic disorder and their organs are used for transplant without testing for genetic disorders.
How is opt-out the same as mandatory? Just opt out
Not sure what you're pointing out by reiterating my comment.

Regardless, very, very few things are inherently "evil" as in actively harming humanity. We got nuclear energy from the atomic bomb. If something like ice-nine were created, it is a fallacy to think that it is only negative in its effect, that no positives could be discovered of it in the future. In fact, it is bordering on "we might discover something bad so we should stop discovery of science in that field as a whole" which does not follow logically.
Stopped reading at a total cost of more than $300 per MWh for batteries.

Quick back-of-the-napkin calculation: Car batteries come in at less than $100/KWh. They're good for at least 1000 cycles at 80% capacity. That gives us at least 0.8MWh for a 100$ investment.

It's very, very unlikely that initial construction of the site and operational costs more than triple that price.
The UK figures (where AZ has been the centerpiece of their programme) suggest about 1 in 250k, which is still a really small risk.
People aren't worried about homelessness per se, they are worried about the impact on their own quality of life, which is primarily from people with drug and mental health issues.

I can't load the article, but I found this piece published by the Times in 2019: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/business/val-broeksmit-de...

It describes Broeksmit as "an unemployed rock musician with a history of opioid abuse and credit card theft," so his disappearance could have any number of explanations.
Yes. No buffer is bad, and too much buffering is also bad. It's about understanding all the parameters that determine the optimal buffer size given the goals, and maintaining that optimal size.
“ Sagemaker “Estimators” do not have anything to do with fitting or predicting anything. The SDK is not supplying you with any machine learning code here.”

I'd like to echo an suggestion I read earlier in this thread: at this scale (i.e. yearly spent), talk to AWS, GCP, Azure or a reseller of your trust and get a good deal to compare your other options with.

"NHSBT carries out biannual attitudinal surveys. The fourth wave in 2017, involved 1499 interviews carried out via online self-completion between the 10th and 21st of April 2017. In this wave, 81% of people supported organ donation in principle."

No. Not really. It a fascinating talk to watch so you are not going to totally waste those 30 minutes.
But this is a moral dilemma, where a slightly less ethical choice WILL dramatically increase another variable that is widely regarded as good.

And it’s not like it is forced, especially with the family being able to “stop” it even when it happens.
The status quo was a different tradeoff.
You'd be dead, what would you do with the money? Also, we don't charge people to receive them; organ donation is for the common good.
One wonders who the assassins for hire are. Some powerful people, somewhere, are able to dispatch modern day assassins. Those assassins must have some sort of way of... advertising themselves. It's an interesting problem, since clearly they are doing this for some sort of compensation, i.e. it's a business.

Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction. It'd be interesting to know what the inner workings look like.

Of course, one can't rule out the mundane explanation, that he went missing with his car keys in the ignition because he decided to get out and vanish for no apparent reason, without informing his girlfriend, and without using any of his credit cards that would immediately lead authorities to his location.

> Do we have agency over our own bodies or not?

No, and that's the point. When you're dead you cannot have agency over your body even if you had the right to.

I find it weird how people compare this to the government treating them like a "bag of parts", as if they were more than a rotting corpse at that point. If you have a religious belief or some other reason that makes you think otherwise then go ahead and opt out, I don't have an issue with that.

> To take it to extremes, should the government be able to take “spare” kidneys from live donors?

Who ever asked for that? If the time came where the UK government started acting like the CCP the law today wouldn't matter either way.
It would not improve soccer in my opinion. Sometimes the ref needs to not whistle a hand ball. It is a judgment call. And sometimes referees need to whistle an attempt at hand ball. To help with the spirit of the game. Good luck with AI being good at that.

Despite this, their offspring will be of the race of only one of their parents. No half-breeds exist.

All of these things are vastly better than dying due to a failed organ... and it’s not like other choices are not seeked. Should we not extend the life of so many children, because in 10 years there may be a better option?
“Earn” in the academic sense. These are not by definition an earned degree. It is honorary. This isn’t a semantical discussion. He literally didn’t earn the degrees by academic study. He was awarded them because of honor, which is lovely, but literally not the same thing.

Sounds like virus central. I would have thought having a small Linux in the browser would have been better.
The rules also work vice-versa. If you are in an accident and need an organ, would you prefer to bid/pay or would you prefer the donation to be under current rules where there is no payment to be made to the donor's side? Whatever approach is chosen, applies equally to when you are a donor or a recipient. In case of zero payment, both sides are balanced; in case of payment, it could be skewed - you may have to pay a lot more when you are a recipient vs. what you receive when you are a donor or vice versa. Unless, there is a law to cover payment/amount etc and even then, different states/countries can have different laws.
> Do we have agency over our own bodies or not?

I believe the answer is somewhere in-between. We certainly don't have full agency over our own bodies. Can't take the drugs you want or need without asking permission, you're highly encouraged to stay healthy, vaccinations are mandatory, suicide is highly discouraged.

As always, it's a trade-off between the individual self and the society we live in.

They can be.

For example you can lock them. This gives other opportunities than a tent.

They give better protection against the elements. So the body will have less stress giving the mind more focus on planning ahead.

Homeless people are in survival mode all the time. A tiny firm shelter can change that mode. This is also the reason why 'housing first' projects work. They take away the survival mode and make thinking about the future an option again.

I don't see a definition anywhere in there. Certainly not one that differs from any dictionary I ever saw.
Isn't that insanely inconvenient? It takes so much more space, needs so much more fuel, is so much more bulky to drive .. is that bit of "status" actually worth it?

Besides, even if you haul sth bigger 2x a year, renting a little trailer of the right size is really a no-brainer. That's what I do.

1) yes, I think you own your body when you die the same way you own your money: you can specify what should be done with it while you are alive

2) one rational argument for opting out is that if you are in a bad state, it might be rational for a doctor to let you die rather than save you, since your organs might be saving multiple people’s lives. I know I was a doctor and I had a 50 year old person in a car crash and I had 3 twentysomethings waiting for a heart liver and lungs I might want to hurry that 50 year old off this mortal coil. It would be the ethical thing to do. But if I was the 50 year old I wouldn’t like it.
So, after a heart attack we should not try to do CPR on you because you have a great likelihood to die either way, do I get it right?

You might want to look into the definition of odds.
Lol. C is actually a lot more convenient to program in than assembly, though, and it is abstracted away from the hardware enough to be largely platform agnostic when you aren't writing low level peripheral code.
Even the same person can use different definitions depending on context.
As I understand it, donor organs are carefully vetted for such things among others before they are made available for a patient - this information would presumably be on a person's medical history and therefore available for checking in advance of the transplant.
Seems rather accurate. Most people will assume "organ donor if you're 100% impossible to revive", if that is the case, might as well help someone else.
No shame, no punishment. It’s just an organ sharing club, join it or don’t join it.
I stopped at the flirting thing... nope, not gonna do-it... wouldn't be prudent.

Their marketing has the LCOS of those 2 solutions the other way around - $171 for Gravity, $367 for Litium Ion batteries.

The primary issue that concerns me is that we plow a lot of resources into this option because it makes doctors heroes and grabs headlines. Meanwhile, less "sexy", less headline-grabbing options that would really be better for the patient may be getting overlooked and remaining underdeveloped because it won't grab headlines.
On what basis should it be measured? I'd rather resources be allocated to someone with a potential future ahead of them.
In Germany there was the "Berlin bank scandal" [1], which is one of the reasons of the dire financial situation the city of Berlin is in nowadays (not the only one though). There the head of IT of one of the involved companies, Aubius, was found dead (hanged) in the Grunewald. He was cooperating with law enforcement.

This has a similar vibe to me.

I hope you're not managing anybody else's wealth because you don't seem to understand that not taking a position on something is a valid position

He's not exposing you to a risk that he himself is not taking.. shorting is a different move altogether, one that he's not asking you to make. How's this hard for you to understand?

No one is forcing you to buy the holder from China.

You can go to your local artisan and ask them to craft it from any material you choose. It's not a complicated form to create a slot for.
But that's only fair.

As an analogy, it's like healthcare/insurance taxes - you pay them regularly in the hope that if you ever need it, they'll pay for you.

Why would you expect to receive an organ if you're not willing to offer yours?
Hello. I posted this before, but recently added WebRTC to stream the remote browser viewport. This noticeably improves the latency (I guess by removing TCP/WebSocket overhead and utilizing UDP), and enables streaming in higher resolution.

It falls back to the old binary WebSocket method if the peers can't connect. It uses simple-peer (with wrtc on the server). The server is in Node.

I intend to experiment with further improvements in future such as:

- sending frames as they are produced, rather than when the client requests them (as it currently does, at a small interval, or when you interact with the page).

- seeing if it's possible to stream multiple frames to cwebp for encoding rather than running a new process per frame.

- experimenting with creating an actual media stream (as opposed to a stream of frames) using ffmpeg.

People have requested higher quality video and these are some of my works in this direction. I'm really happy to have integrated WebRTC, it's been on my todo list for a while and the integration was relatively painless.

Note that it only uses the simple-peer default STUN servers, and does not provide any TURN servers in case the connection cannot be established. If anyone has any comments of suggestions to achieve higher performance, or can suggest a good NodeJS (or other, easy to set up) open-source TURN server I can run, that will be cool.

We already have pumped hydroelectric storage, it's used as a load balancer on some national grids.
Here’s what the article says about cost:

> For a 25-year project, he estimates that Gravitricity would cost $171 for each megawatt-hour. Jessika Trancik, an energy storage researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says that number is aspirational and still needs to be supported with field data. But Schmidt’s calculation of the lifetime cost per megawatt-hour for lithium-ion batteries, $367, is more than twice as much. Flow batteries, a promising grid-scale technology that stores charge in large tanks of liquid electrolyte, come in at $274 per megawatt-hour
It's crazy how little we understand about gravity if you think about it. It's a perpetual energy source right in front of us, but we never really think about it, and can barely offer a basic explanation as to what powers it. It even impacts time itself[1] for christ sake. I think better understanding gravity is the solution to all human energy needs. (interesting to note I have heard stories of disappeared scientists who made advancements in gravity research years back)

Unless we cross some significant number of opt-outs though and it starts to matter in organ availability statistics, what's the point of that punishment? If we have enough donors overall, I'd love my organs to go anywhere useful - regardless of who receives them. Let's not open the gates for more conditions in the future, because I'm sure some people would enjoy "donate my organs as long as there recipient is not X".
Not people, just lies and propaganda.
