Ok FINE. They were easy enough to ignore in Usenet the 2 dozen or so groups I frequented. There were no noticeable brigades in the groups I used, and upvotes are not a thing in Usenet.
It sure helps. Are you saying that only people who are in the worst possible situation (unemployed, in a civil war, with cancer, raped daily, low IQ, blind, …) can talk about having problems?

I thought the whole point was you can't bypass a patent.

Nice site by the way—I appreciated the option to skim the pictures rather than skipping through a video.

This seems like simultaneously survivorship bias (there have been plenty of buildings in Venice that have collapsed or have been irreparably damaged) and a good example of the dangers of sinking (how many billions on repairs and massive engineering projects to save the city?)
The shoppers are already in the store, presumably to buy from their list. Now the store gets a cut of an ad and the profit from the sale it makes. The digital delivery is going to be amazing for A/B testing of ads because they are going to have near immediate feedback. It's pretty clever in a dystopian hellscape kind of way.

I find it hard to listen to Mick West, because he's built a brand around debunking things - I like to remain sceptical around most things however when you have a vested interest in being 'anti' towards a topic it's as biased as being a 'believer' in something.
I have had a similar experience. Since I started having a daily conversation with ,,the void,, or ,,the universal good,, I have felt much better, even with everything going on in the world.
> running at the razor’s edge of their storage taking pics

Well, I have SD cards for that... Regardless, the context was apps taking space. If I had used 80-90% of my storage for pics, then size of apps isn't the issue.
I didn't expect the proliferation of tech to result in a total loss of privacy. The internet was promising to be the great equalizer in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Broadband would mean access to jobs in rural communities revitalizing towns with new growth, and it seemed like everyone would be able to participate. That view is hopelessly naive today.

To be honest google makes pretty awful frontends so I'd say the small shop has an advantage here.
Brick & mortar retail is trying its very hardest to kill itself.

The bigger a tremendous fucking hassle it is to go to the store instead of ordering online, the fewer people are going to come in.

Supermarket window: "we now use anti-shoplifting face and license plate tracking" [e.g. auror.co ]

Supermarket aisle: can't see any products, have to open every door to look at actual products instead of TV ads

Supermarket aisle: e-ink price labels; can no longer flip up to see how much the thing cost before it was on "sale".

Supermarket aisle: e-ink label is down, no idea how much product costs

Supermarket checkout: always scans shit at the wrong price

Plus we've got covid, drive time, smaller selection, unknown stock levels [sold out].

Any old man could tell you giving a shit about your customers' experience is going to benefit you in the long run. But no. It'll be too late by the time they realize what they've done.
>...not because they tried computational simulation of those molecules and couldn't overcome precision/chaos issues.

Existing simulations are slow and inaccurate. Why waste your time generating computational results that you do not trust when you can just iterate on existing molecules and have them in hand, ready for testing?

> BYD went from a company everybody in the auto industry laughed at to a partner in Daimler and Toyota joint ventures and a company Warren Buffet's org has invested in more money than they have in GM.

How much of that is due to China's protectionism, huge untapped market and forced local partnerships vs what the company's tech is actually worth?
I recall when I signed up for 24 Hour Fitness many many years ago. They wanted my social security number, which I refused to give, so the employee just put some random number down. Turns out they needed it because my membership was a "loan" for the whole cost over X number of years, which I pay back every month with the membership fees. I have no idea how that fake number managed to get through their system.
There are cameras built into the doors, and one of the images in the Twitter thread shows heat maps being displayed on the screens, presumably conveying information about what the consumers were looking at on the screens.

Ads may not have been the only value proposition here, in other words. Data that can be used to improve merchandising may be equally valuable.

I would not take Tinder profiles as some kind of objective evidence of what "normal" people do. Article after article after article indicates that in dating profiles men claim to be taller than they are, the more attractive a photo is the older it probably is, etc.
> and then convinced a grocery chain to buy this for their store

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the other way around: The startup that produces these doors probably pitched them for free to this store, perhaps offering a cut of the ad revenue. If the startup is well-funded, they may have even paid the store up-front to let them install the doors.

Given that these aren't widespread and the product is prototype quality, the startup likely needs a few pilot installs to show their investors and prove their product out. Assuming they're funded, getting some of these installed ASAP is their top priority. Trying to sell them would only slow that down.
You must be incredibly naive if you think any anti trust regulation hurting Facebook or Google is going to pass.

Biden literally owes his presidency to unprecedented censorship and propaganda by Facebook and Google. Censorship that included censoring the virus lab leak theory, included incredibly laughable propaganda about the safety of mail in ballots (which was proven wrong by orders of magnitude of evidence of fraud), by incredible levels of censorship and anti Trump propaganda across the board, by shady donations on the orders of billions of dollars by Facebook which completely owned voting infrastructure in Wisconsin.

Facebook and Google literally own Biden. They elected Biden - not you the people. Don't be surprised when all these bills weakening Facebook and Google are thrown in the garbage.

This is similar to how buses and trains in many cities replaced windows with ads. Completely ruined the experience of riding public transit.
I was quite literally obsessed with programming. I would wake up in the morning, program all day, go to sleep, and repeat it the next day. This earned me many accolades in college and a great job afterward. But, like you, if I paused for a moment to reflect, I felt so incredibly empty and alone. The programming increasingly became an escapist activity to avoid these feelings. Then one day my old high school friend, whom I had not seen in many years, invited me to spend time with his friends from the Air Force. Stepping outside of my bubble was incredibly refreshing. None of these people knew anything, nor cared, about computers or programming. Wow! What was the point of everything I was doing? This thing I spent so much time on, truly the focus of my life, and these people do not even care one bit about it. How can they even live? Lol. I then decided to take the whole thing MUCH less seriously and branch out into all kinds of areas.

Here are things to consider doing

- drastically reduce the amount of time you spend behind a screen (even immediately throw away a lot of math/science/etc paraphernalia)

- join a regular gym

- start lifting weights

- join a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym

- sincerely evaluate your style of dress (do you give off a feminine-milquetoast or masculine vibe) visit Reddit, etc for ideas

- if you are a gamer, immediately stop

- sign up for volunteering / toastmasters / improv class / races / all varieties of dancing / meetups / doordash / Uber driver (point being, meet more people, put yourself out there way more)
While I tend to agree with you, this isn’t r/neoliberal you need to explain why that would help and that is why you are being downvoted.

Whether or not aliens are "obscenely unlikely" addresses only your prior belief before reading this report. Does the report change your beliefs about aliens at all? If so, in what direction, more or less likely?

My point is that the observations of the report make me update towards aliens. The observations are consistent with the theory that alien craft operate in our atmosphere. Advanced technology that we don't understand. Doesn't appear to be ours. Yesterday, I wouldn't have said that was true or that we had good reasons to think it was true. Today, I'm more inclined to think it's true.

If my arguments are fallacious or terrible I'd appreciate you explaining how. Multiple witnesses with multiple sensors multiple times across years seems pretty persuasive. You think it's not evidence at all. Why not? What evidence would you expect to see?
The debate about whether further reordering is possible is an interesting one. I think it's evidence that it's basically not possible for humans to reason about the memory model. The best way to resolve it is to use an automated checking tool based on a formal model. Good choices are CDSChecker[1] or the newer CppMem[2].

Funny that you mention it, but at one point "mentally retarded" was a gentler term for the then rather harsh clinically-used terms "idiot", "moron", and "imbecile". Now these three words are considered much less offensive than their one-time euphemism. What a world.

The good thing about a law targeting billionaires (and taxing their wealth at 10%) is that the administration costs can be at least $100m per investigation and still break even.

(Admittedly at the bottom end someone might manage to sneak in under the threshold, making the investigation a waste, but there's no harm in the bureaucrats starting with the richest person and working their way down the list, gaining skills and efficiency as they go).

Even if all the money that the government collects ends up going to pay the investigators, at least that would be creating thousands of decent jobs. Also, assuming a balanced game, if the investigators are being paid $100m to find evidence then the billionaire would have to pay a similar amount to hide evidence, which means they might as well not bother hiding it.
I was disagreeing with one or two people I know over this point.

I think they look nice, nontrivial edits and all, and might even buy them, though I'm still in the air about it.

But don't advertise your remasters as "pixel-perfect" then redesign decent chunks of the sprites, especially when you're releasing these as an "our bad" after remasters which looked like Flash games on non-mobile platforms.

Unlike some people, I would not mind if they were just making some minor tweaks because CRTs look drastically different. But from the limited examples we have, it looks like this is not that.

The IRS doesn't make the rules, but enforces them.

Unlike a somewhat popular opinion on this website, the law isn't an algorithm, but a codification of societal norms, like that we all share the expanses of living in civilized society.

Yes, the TRANSFER of assets happens at time of sell or withdrawal, but the share taxes was painted such when we (the people, through legislation. Not the IRS!) decided that such share should be dedicated to society.

No one thought “glass” because the outcome was predetermined.

Employees do not care about financial or literal waste.

They only meme in mind when they go to their job for “make money”.

I goto meetings with a vision and zero fucks about the implementation all the time. Why you expect that to be different otherwise in the same culture is beyond me.
It's quite a mess, since discrete optimization is quite an old topic used by many different fields (engineering, statistics, sciences, math) each with their own notation/terminology. One of the merits of the B&V book is the relatively clear/precise notation, and they've made an effort to disambiguate. That's why it's so well-regarded as reference material.
These materials predate plastic and existed when the decision to build out the plastic industry was made.

Capitalism isn't flawless, but it does handle money very efficiently. If, for example, landfill space was in low supply, the cost of waste disposal would go up and consumers would prefer products that produce less waste. Likewise if oil was running out.

Capitalism fails where externalities don't have an immediate cost. The pollutants generated in the production, shipping, and disposal of plastics don't come with financial consequences. Plastic is evidently cheaper than alternatives, so companies who avoid them will be outcompeted by companies that do.

Consumers might solve this by boycotting plastics, but I think wealth inequality won't make it easy. Companies might solve this by agreeing not to use plastics, though I'm not sure about the legality and they still could be undercut by new competitors. Or a government could use taxes to add costs to the generation of pollutants, but that depends on pertinent industries' influence and the government's incentives towards national economic performance.

Except for the dozen or so incidents that had multiple sensor contacts from some of the most advanced technology we can produce while in close proximity to military training groups and no one knows what the F they were or how they were staying in the air. No big deal really. At least this report seems to open a path to normalizing basic reporting of such things so more information can be gathered. It’s worrying that they mention near mid air misses.

This is very interesting. I like C# as a language, and I like Go by its tooling. If this project goes well, it would be the best of both worlds.

The official `dotnet` command is not to my taste for a few reasons. It uses XML, and it is quite slow, e.g. a simple "Hello, world" project takes 2 seconds to launch every time. I mean, it always takes 2 seconds even after compiling everything prior to that. It might be acceptable for an interactive development environment that employes an auto-compiling workflow, but for a CLI tool, it is too much of a burden. I know Microsoft are trying to improve it, but at least up until now it hasn't been very successful.[1]

I remember going on vacation away from my computer and discovering my own app failing to launch after a few days. I guess I had tended to rebuild and reinstall it so often that I never saw their signing expire before.

Once you can let go of the world and everything in it, you have an amazing amount of freedom. It makes you invincible, you no longer feel like you have to grip on to wealth for your safety or your family's. You don't feel like you have to prove yourself to anyone. You focus on the things that matter, the things that do good.
I used to be a Java developer and now I am a Golang dev. I moved from a very large company (1000's of devs) to a medium size one (about 100 devs) and would say there are interesting difference in the culture of developers around languages. My experience is that Java shops have a way of doing things based on years of debate. However, I also noticed that there where a lot of devs who just took the "best practices" at face value without much thought so there was a huge amount of friction when you wanted to do something different. Largely centered around who didn't really know why they did stuff a specific way. When I switched to a Golang shop it was much different, a lot more freedom around what to do as there was just not enough time for all those "industry standard" ways of programming to take root. I like this freedom, and the learning that goes with it, a lot more though it dose come at a cost. I have seen several coding practices I feel will cause issues, use of global variables to do testing for mocks, singletons, things like that. Basically, what I am saying is you might want to try a job that operates in a newer language if wanting to try new things is what you are looking for. If the company is open to a newer language the are probably open to new ideas as well. That has been my experience at least.
Db and C# are "enharmonic equivalents". In 12-tone equal temperament, they're the same pitch, but in other tuning systems like just intonation they might be almost but not exactly the same pitch.
