Out of curiosity, I'm assuming most of the ads are giant in your face ones. Do they do any subliminal product placement type ads too & if so are any of them dynamic based on user data? Might as well go all out & have a variety of props you can exchange based on user data.

I seem to be able to avoid ads quite a bit through tools & life style choices. I therefore ask this as someone whose personal opinion does not like the do anything for views to sell ads economy & avoids it as much as possible.
> Never assume there is a bug in your code

I had a boss who went with, "Always assume the bug is in our code." Which wasn't too bad, except for the time he wouldn't let us tell the hardware partner they probably had a bug until we could definitively prove that it was their problem and not ours. Took us a few months to produce a reliable test case for the error (consistent failures and not sporadic ones) and shifted the entire project schedule (not just us) right. He just didn't trust us lowly CS types.

Nope, the whole point of oil is that is has a VERY low value. Even "very expensive" oil at 140$ per barrel (that was the peak I think) makes $0.875 dollar per liter of crude oil, about 30 MJ worth of energy. Additionally you can make plastic, and ... out of it.

But it's far cheaper than the cheapest brand of bottled water, which apparently comes in at about $1.4 per liter, a little under double the price of the most expensive oil we've ever had.

The normal price say $60-80 per barrel these days, is 0.4$, or about 1/4th to 1/3rd of the price of bottled water.

> I'm not an astronomer, but I am a photographer.

Your experience with photography under ordinary lighting conditions is mostly irrelevant here. There are good reasons why serious astrophotography involves carefully calibrated tracking mounts and individual exposures lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes.

> The fact that astronomers shoot these ridiculous shots showing insane streaks across their photos makes no sense. I could eliminate those trivially with a multi-exposure process for the types of photos being shown.

Stacking multiple exposures is already standard procedure; single-exposure astrophotos are relatively rare. Total exposure time for faint deep sky objects is often measured in hours, with exposures sometimes collected over the course of several nights. Each exposure adds a bit of noise, however, which cannot be eliminated even with our best post-processing algorithms. For the same total exposure time the quality will be noticeable worse when using a larger number of short exposures vs. a smaller number of long exposures. Also, do not forget that there is more to astrophotography than merely making pretty pictures. The data is also used to measure brightness & composition (using filters for spectography) and to identify new objects, which are often very faint and easily overwhelmed by noise. The more post-processing you need to apply the harder it becomes to achieve scientifically significant results.

I am not opposed to StarLink myself, but I do sympathize with the astronomer's concerns and hope that future improvements to the designs will mitigate the impact that the satellite constellations have on the scientific community—both amateur and professional.

Oh heck this crud:

> Open Source Advertising: the act of promoting a brand by releasing media (especially images) featuring its product(s) to the public to use and distribute free of charge.

First of all, Open Source isn't the correct term when referring to non-software content, you should be using something like Creative Commons or just "permissive."

Open Source is about the... well, source, so you would only use that term if you were doing something like uploading the raw image files and data used to create the ad, and if you were letting people fork it and recompile it and swap out brands or something. Like, you might conceivably call a Blender movie "open source" if it shipped with the Blender files and assets used to build it.

That's not what's going on here, so it's just a misleading term.

Second of all:

> “But will my brand be safe if go this route?” Yes. Here’s why you shouldn’t worry: First, under intellectual property law, you have the ability to issue a takedown notice to remove content that negatively infringes on your brand.

Then it's not a permissive license at all, is it? If you're going to not only use open source, but capitalize it and call it Open Source, then one would think part of the license would be the ability to remix, redistribute, and modify the content regardless of whether or not it makes an advertiser happy.

But this doesn't even link to a license at all, and Unsplash's default license is not compatible with Creative Commons since it doesn't allow aggregation. So what on earth does "negatively infringes on your brand" mean?

It annoys me to no end when businesses try to have their cake and eat it too by using Open Source/Creative Commons terminology to describe their incompatible licenses.
Programming in Namibia, Africa: Interview with Jessica Upani
So, the earliest source you can find for this term is a paper from 2012, whereas the wiki article on dynamic algorithms was started in 2007(!), and the sources are of course much older - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamization cites a source from the mid-1980s! It doesn't look like there's any reason so far to assume "differential" should be given priority - even more so when it's already in use for something else!
The experience of VR gaming and desktop gaming is not interchangeable. I tried a modern VR headset very recently and I was blown away by the level of immersion. So many early teething issues from several years ago were actually solved problems. Living room space was a biggie, for instance.

That's a very interesting idea. Faces have the major advantage that our brains have special circuitry to distinguish and remember faces, making this more tamper proof in practice. The disadvantage is that using faces is likely to lead to confusion. I guess that's what the triangulation is supposed to counter.

You could also easily switch the GAN for different types of hash-like sequences, e.g. people for public keys, cats for bitcoin addresses, etc
I've seen some crazy stuff driven by the fear of broken links. One place I worked had all the traffic for their main landing page hitting a redirect on a subsystem because the subsystem had a url that was higher in google etc. I worked on the subsystem and rather then fix things in DNS and the search engines they preferred to expect us to keep our webservers up at all times to serve the redirect. We were on physical hardware in those days and while we had redundancy it was all in one location, made for some fun times.

Why would government officials be allowed to lie to anyone in the public?
Last presidential election, there was like a 45% voter turnout in our county. It was historic, and they even ran out of ballots in a couple of places during the primary.

In the most recent mid-term elections for things like Mayor, road commissioner and county council, the turnout was 8%.

8% of people decided who would do things that ACTUALLY impact the day-to-day life around here. Wonder why only the rich neighborhoods get their streets fixed? BECAUSE THE ELDERLY AND WEALTHY PEOPLE THERE VOTE. Wonder why they're spending an unbelievable amount fixing an out-of-date lake/riverfront to be prettier? BECAUSE THE OLD PEOPLE THERE VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS.

Why don't people get this?

Not related to the link, but why do people say "die by suicide" now instead of "committed suicide"? Suicide by definition is killing yourself, taking your own life, i.e. taking deliberate action to end one's own life. The passive wording of "died by" seems entirely contradictory to the definition of "suicide", as if the person didn't actively do it themselves, in which case it's not suicide.

> Disliking Soviet architecture doesn’t make one a philistine.

Surely not - what does is declaring one's taste the main test for demolishing stuff or not. It may not be strictly architecture, but for a long time in the 20th century folklore scholars refused to document things that weren't "pure" enough in their folkloriness, but were "contaminated" by references to the urban/modern culture. We lost quite a bit of cultural history because of that. There should be some humility here, the generations after you can have different tastes.

> Especially when much of it was forced upon the populace at the point of a gun.

I can sympathize in some of that logic - that's why I said that we should have the right to move or alter things that are blatantly against our values. It's good that the monuments of Lenin and such were torn down. But if we follow that to the extreme, maybe the whole historical city of St. Petersburg should be demolished (if you know how it was built), and the Pyramids, and maybe even most of the old royal residences and castles around the world.

There is one thing that is often neglected in text vs binary protocols debate and that is self-terminating vs prior-length. Although it is not strictly connected, text protocols are usually self-terminating (e.g. closing tags), while binary protocols are usually prior-length (e.g. type-length-value approach). The first approach leads to escaping and all associated problems.

>How is it possible to keep a private key private, if you have to use 3rd party hardware and software (no one builds their own computer components), to use the key?

It isn't. And this is the fundamental problem with using crypto for its' (professed, intended) use of a trustless currency. In order to actually do that, you need to run a full node on your own hardware. However no one wants to do that, so we've literally just reinvented the existing trust based banking system on top of it all, with the added benefit of zero transparency or regulation.

I agree that the pandemic has been a big driver of contactless payments. I dislike them myself. NFC terminals get confused as hell if there are multiple contactless cards nearby (there are 6 in my wallet, none of which I use..). Inserting a card in the terminal and entering my pin is only a few seconds slower and it feels more secure.

We used to have a chip-without-pin payment scheme for small amounts, called Proton, but it never really caught on and got scrapped a few years back.

Which is why it's crucial for Republicans to stamp this out as quickly as possible. Of course they're being lobbied to do so by ISPs, but more importantly, the existence of successful municipal broadband disproves neoliberal dogma that state-run anything will always be less efficient, more wasteful and more corrupt than privately owned alternatives. This belief is crucial to their political platform.

Every second they allow these municipal ISPs to exist and be effective, the stories that keep them in power are being undermined.
I agree with much of what you say, but I think you're limiting your imagination in drones' current and imminent capabilities are.

Drones can, and are, replacing fighters and cruise missiles, if not make those ideas of weapons platforms entirely obsolete. Autonomous jets exist already, you may have not heard of missiles composed of thousands of small single-use bombs with onboard auto guidance, which also exist already.

While yes, loitering is a strength, it is far and away not the only thing a robot can be engineered to do.

The bigger idea here is the problems being solved when diplomacy breaks down into violence. You seem to not be aware that modern warfare consists of Shock and Awe. Not like the movies. If there could be a combatant in an office building in the next village, you call in an AC130 and you blow up the building. The idea is that warfare isn't a battle of contrition, but a battle of financial resolution.

So, looking at it from this angle, yes; the natural evolution of warfare will be robot on robot until one side runs out of the ability to make more robots.

Everything else resulting from this has been stated already.

But I think you're just underestimating human engineering and imagination.
I understand the dislike of ads, but not so much the complaint. Companies are free to insert ads if they want to, and we're free to choose what media we consume. I hate ads and would be glad to see them outlawed like billboards in Vermont, but I don't stress about it. I accept it as a tradeoff for playing certain games, or I do ad-free things like reading old books or exercising.
While I share your strong negative feelings, we need to be a bit more honest. There are such people as one issue voters that are perfectly aware of how the GOP will vote on other issues and do not like it (or even hate, e.g., Trump), but are abortion or 2nd ammendement absolutists.

Well I might add the quantum complexity-theory version of the Church–Turing thesis.

I believe that quantum computation is a richer more powerful theory. In essence BQP is a superset of BPP in your link.

I think this happens with all sorts of mathematical objects. Non commutative algebra is much richer than commutative algebra. There are also more interesting non commutative things than just deformations of classical objects. Its the classical commutative case that is the weird limit.
