Could it be that Scorecounter is paying for their links to be embedded, as opposed to them being the owner/developer of both sites? If so, and provable, can they be flagged in some way?

I would just buy some Panasonic eneloops(NiMH - not an ad, just the battery I have went with after researching this quite a bit) whenever you need to buy alkaline batteries. They are about twice as expensive but are rechargeable 2000+ times, hold their charge for over a year, and don't degrade very much. Eventually all of your devices will have eneloops in them and you will stop buying batteries altogeher.
I'm trying to figure this out and failing: How was the DOJ able to recover these funds?

The article just says

> a magistrate judge in the Northern District of California had granted a warrant to seize funds from the wallet earlier in the day.

But my understanding is that a judge can't just seize the wallet -- you'd need their private key. Anyone know what happened from a technical standpoint?
>The Chinese government didn't favor the local retailers in anyway.

Do you have proof of this?

Does this require special knowledge and experience? I would be afraid to try it myself as I suspect that I or my devices would be harmed, either in the process or later on.
I was thinking about Xbox, but that never translated into whatever I wrote :D

Xbox has always been a weird one for Microsoft, it seems: they never made money on the actual hardware, and it originally existed only to compete with Sony as the media box for the living room.

I'd say Microsoft still doesn't really know what to do with it because it's so far removed from everything else Microsoft does.
Does this come with a “know what you are doing” caveat? I’d be scared of creating an electric firelighter in the process.

Also assuming money is no object. Is it as good for the environment to recycle the old battery and buy a refurbed one.
Those can both be true. PageRank is a relic of a time when search engines more consistently returned the same results for the same query. These days we're all filter bubbled with personalized results

Hey, I’m Mike and I built QuestTrain - a website where people ask trains of questions that lead to requests / templates for evaluation data.

I love good questions: What questions or contradictions are most puzzling to people in various fields? What train of thought led someone to invent X? Is some assumption about the world consistent with evidence? So, I’m pretty excited about (a) asking better questions and (b) finding relevant datasets; the “how to approach a problem” and “how to figure things out.” My hope is that QuestTrain becomes a useful question graph - kinda like a knowledge graph, but with a focus on how questions lead to one another and/or evidence, and the thought process behind new ideas. Take a look, I appreciate the feedback!

No, Google didn't have this issue, because unlike pretty much all other search engines on the market Google isn't a frontend to Bing (well, I guess there are also a few frontends to Yandex, but they're more rare).
I think it needs to be said. The entire field of design has been trashed in last 20 years. The decline started in the 90’s and the final straw came in late 2000’s. By entire field, I mean the full spectrum: Industrial design (touch screens) to Graphic design, typography (see Dropbox redesign) to branding (see how Pentagram destroyed the LoC logo). I don’t think I can buy a new car anymore.

I’ll say it again, be it hostile - designers aren’t raised and educated in user centric design. MacOS is full of transitions that are over 200ms. iOS is worse. I could go on and on. It’s gotten so bad, it’s appalling really.

Similar with restoring account access that's been lost for some reason. Certainly, there are good practices and better practices. But somewhere between show up in Cupertino between 10am and 1pm on Friday with these notarized documents and just restoring access because someone requested it in some unverifiable way, there is a large spectrum of tradeoffs.

I think that the Manuform's thumb clusters, while having slightly fewer keys (6 per hand vs 8), are more ergonomic than those of the Mitosis, due to allowing the thumbs to use their stronger movements (curling in vs. moving laterally).

But, more generally, I agree - there's very little excuse for not having thumb clusters if you're trying to build an ergonomic keyboard.

OP had anticipated your complaints in his post, and pre-replied to them. For example:

Replit makes a webapp you can use to run code online in different programming languages. This is nothing new (just Google “run python online” for proof), so Replit’s value proposition is extra features like sharing your work, installing third-party packages, and hosting webapps.

...

Now, none of the ideas I used in my open-source project were “internal design decisions”: they’ve all been published publicly on Replit’s blog (I knew this because I’d been asked to write some of those blog posts during my internship). And my project also wasn’t any more of a Replit clone than any of the other websites on the first few pages of Google results for “run python online”, most of which look exactly the same.

You may disagree with these claims, but the general / hypothetical stance of your post does not give me any reason to think OP is blowing smoke up our collective asses.

For that matter, the CEO of Replit could be more specific about what OP's 'crime' is, though I suspect the worst of it is that OP's actions revealed how threadbare the Emperor's clothes are.
Let's say they are making $80k/yr:

If 95% is good enough for you, machine learning will probably get you there rather easily.

With many of the really valuable use-cases, it's just not good enough. If 100% of the time you need an expert to tell if a sample falls within the 95% of successes or 5% failures, you're not adding any value.

Even if you're bulk processing stuff that would've otherwise been ignored, somebody will have to deal with those signals. The net effect is more work, not less.

In other words, would-be radiologists ought to stay in school.
I don't know anything about seismology, and I am going to put aside the money and focus on the math.

> The features you're interested in are almost never what's clearly imaged -- instead, you're predicting what's in that unimaged, "mushy" area over there through fundamental laws of physics like conservation of mass and understanding of the larger regional context. Those are deeply difficult to incorporate in machine learning in practice.

I was part of a university research lab over 15 years ago that was doing exactly this [1], with just regular old statistics (no AI/ML required). By modeling the variability of the stuff that you could see easily, you could produce priors strong enough to eek out the little bit of signal from the mush (which is basically what the actual radiologists do, which we know because they told us). It isn't a turn-key, black box solution like deep learning pretends to be. It takes a long time, it is highly dependent on getting good data sets, and years of labor goes into a basically bespoke solution for a single radiology problem, but the results agree with a human as closely as humans agree with each other. You also get the added bonus of understanding the relationships you are modeling when you are done.

From university lab to clinically proven diagnosis tool is of course a longer road, and I have not been involved in these projects for a long time, but my point is that the math problem on its own is tractable.

I think that there are many scenarios in which there shouldn't be a 1 year expiration date for glasses or contacts. For example, if someone has a very straightforward glasses/contact lens prescription (<2D, no astigmatism) that has not changed in years and if that person has also never had an abnormal eye exam, then there is an argument to be made about having a more open-ended expiration date.
I'm still hoping the CEO will come out of the woods with something like: "I'm sorry, I had a shitty day and acted like an ass." But that might be more grown-up than is realistic...

As I said in another comment, for me it seems unlikely to be deliberate because of the bad publicity it will generate.

I'm not defending Microsoft. It just seemed to me a little bit weird to "punish" them for a one time mistake. But as another commenter showed me, this kind of stuff happened before.

Still, I'm finding it hard to believe it was deliberate. Mistakes happen. (maybe I'm naive :))
> it allows to craft your own persistent microcode patch without external debugger.

These are persistent? Meaning they survive reboots? Is it stored in flash memory on the CPU or something? I thought all microcode updates are re-applied on each boot.
I was under the impression that mixing and matching cells (by model or by age/number of charge cycles used) can be sketchy. For example, if you have a very heavily used battery in series with new battery, everything may look okay externally, but you may end up over-discharging the older battery.

What are your thoughts on this? Haven't had any issues? Or do you take steps to mitigate it?
Maybe, but then the problem isn't an issue with AI/ML, it's that humans just suck at math.

We're terrible at bayesian logic. Especially when it comes to medical tests, and doctors are very guilty of this also, we ignore priors and take what should just be a Bayes factor as the final truth.
If the provider in question is hosting publicly visible pages with "offending" content, then of course anyone is free to "report" it or "request" it. If the provider is hosting end-to-end ecrypted data, then nobody should have access to it other than those with the proper keys. That includes the provider of the services. In that case, the provider can only say no to the gov't requests. If the provider has a different version of their platform available in China so that they conform to CCP demands of being able to access user content, then the provder would be lying to the US gov't request for access to user data too. So the suspicion that a US company operating in China with CCP approval immediately brings doubt onto their entire "we protect user privacy" into question.

With the current silicon manufacturing processes, I'd say the end is in sight. Every node shrink is taking longer and longer and getting more and more expensive to fabricate.

We've been reliant on node shrinks to push things further. That hard limit is 0.2nm (silicon atom size) we are at ~2nm gate features.

It remains to be seen if we can get to that 0.2nm size, I honestly don't think we can push much further past the 2nm size (I'd imagine 0.5nm will be the limit).

That, to me, is very much being "in sight".
The problem is formatting. If I put two tabs between each column in a text document but then on some row I need to write a sentence then my tabbed table in the text document is going to be harder to read.

And no, those would absolutely not be easier to use when you're just writing down observations or keeping a log of something like blood pressure.

Also, they're not really mixed together. I'm just thinking of a tab being a table in it, not mixing tables and text in one document.

>I have no idea what they're doing in the backend.

The pagination theory doesn't make sense to me though. The relevant parameter is called "form", its actual value doesn't matter as long as it's non-empty, and surely a sane implementation would treat the lack of a page parameter as page 1 and not page whatever-the-stormtrooper-image-is-on.

YES. THIS. I am in vehement disagreement with Apple soldering SSDs to motherboards for partially this reason (among others, including making data recovery much harder, and lack of user upgradeability).

Apple fanboys all over the world will hate on me every single time saying "What if I told you that Apple just makes the best PC". Fuck that. I want a removeable SSD so repair technicians don't need the SSD to repair other parts of the PC.
> Also PACS isn't designed to implement algorithms.

That doesn't really matter too much from the implementing-ML point of view, you can just use it as a file store. DICOM files themselves are annoying too (especially if they bury stuff in private tags), as are HL7 (and EMR integrations) but .. that's mostly just work.

Agree the viewers lack flexibility but that's a lot more solvable than say the morass of EMR. If you are just looking at image interpretation visualizing things isn't so bad, if you had the models to visualize.
I would assume not if you are using very similar formula or ingredients.
I'm personally surprised at the responses too. I think it's easy to default to "the little open source player is getting screwed over by the big bad corporate entity." In this case I think it's a learning opportunity for the author of the clone.
