As a pre-teen in the early 90s, I spent hundreds of hours wardialing most of the free-to-dial exchanges. I was lucky enough to have a US Robotics modem that reported the extended result status codes to detect voice, continuous tone, and fax lines.

The results were typically for every exchange that 1% of the numbers were modems, 1% were fax machines, 70% were non-intercept recordings or humans, 0.3% were continuous tones and test numbers, and the rest were primarily unallocated or just did not complete.

It is just so undemocratic for a handful of people to be in control of infrastructure projects that will affect the lives of millions or billions. They can so easily make a project look good that still benefits them unfairly and there is some evidence that this is what's happening.

One regrettable thing that seems to happen here a lot is that pedants will swarm to address some relatively irrelevant misunderstanding made in a genuine question relevant to the article without ever addressing the question being asked.

I think the commenter gets it, Christ for the fifth time now yes, there's a difference between copyright and trademark. You can't copyright a word, got it. Now that we have that bit of pedantry thoroughly out of the way, I have the exact same question as the one above:

>That is, say there is a plan on their site for a 2BD/2BA house, the floor plan is very simple and a builder that is unaware of this company ends up copying the floor plan for no other reason that it happens to be a very common floorplan. Could this company still pursue damages?
I don't know how you got from my comment to China. I speculated that ranked choice might have more of an impact on which candidates are selected in primary elections. If you think voting for who will be the party's candidate is undemocratic then we're already there, that's already how it works, and I don't see anything in my comment that would lead to a single-party system like China. Maybe you could elaborate on why you think ranked choice in primary elections would take us to a single party system.

What I don't understand is why you think 3rd parties should rapidly gain power if they only have support from a fraction of the population. Why should their power be disproportionately larger than the # of people supporting them? I don't think it's very democratic to have a candidate with only 25% of the vote win the election.

...Rejuvenated. These are new. There's a new common ground around puritanism. The philosophical underpinnings have changed. Women's rights are, ostensibly, protected while the client side is criminalalised. The reason for the laws is no longer "public morals," it's consent.

However, we arrive at more or less the same place. Increasingly, bishops and feminists find common ground on these issues...

Imo, even legalization isn't enough. We need normalisation. While prostition is marginalized and ostrecized, sex workers will be at the bottom of the pyramid.
Is there an easy answer as to why Costa Rica is doing so well? They seem to be a bit of an exception in Central/South America.

EDIT: From Wikipedia "It is known for its long-standing and stable democracy, and for its highly educated workforce, most of whom speak English. The country spends roughly 6.9% of its budget (2016) on education, compared to a global average of 4.4%. Its economy, once heavily dependent on agriculture, has diversified to include sectors such as finance, corporate services for foreign companies, pharmaceuticals, and ecotourism. Many foreign manufacturing and services companies operate in Costa Rica's Free Trade Zones (FTZ) where they benefit from investment and tax incentives."
To be fair, most of the original recordings (with caveats listed there) were linked at the bottom, so I presume that the author still has them around - that's hardly "throwing" them away.

I don't think the goal of using Google speech-to-text was to solely use the transcriptions for the rest of the project, but you've gotta find some way to sift through those recordings and pull out the interesting bits. I think that was the right choice providing additional context and picking out the good stuff. Imagine having to listen to ~28 hours of recordings (60 sec * 1724 answered calls) when there's a service that can easily turn those recordings into a more easily consumable format, and then you can go back and listen to the neat stuff.
This is one of the most delicate and hard to legislate for things in modern society.

'My body my rules' works well for individuals, but the govt. makes laws for various 'peoples'. It is incredibly difficult to make access to prostitution easier without causing aftershocks among other social phenomena. (Trafficking, Abuse, Laundering)

If anything, this sounds like the Swedish Govt. making prostitution 'illegal', but protecting the sex workers by making it hard for them to be criminally liable. Rather, the ones associated with them, and the ones who seek it are explicitly targeted.

As of this moment and a millenium preceding it, society has considered sex and all relationships involved in it to be of a special type. The standard rules of law, capitalism, trauma, romance, et al. fall apart once sex is added to the conversation. We cannot 'normalize' sex work, if sex itself is not normalized. By normalized, I mean that it occupies a space in society that is no different from any other activity. It means treating sexual assault like assault, sexual harassments like a rude remark and trafficking as Qatar style indentured labor.

I know I sound a little 'satanic panic-y' in this comment, but to trivialize the sex and the difficulty of legislating for it, is a mistake mankind makes at its own peril.
C++ code isn't there yet, the Python one just tries to decode as one and if that fails, falls back to the other; for testing purposes.

In C++ the blob can just be directly decoded into a struct, though. e.g. the initial format looked like this:

struct signature
{
uint8_t primary_key[ED25519_KEY_SIZE] = {};
struct
{
uint8_t pubkey[ED25519_KEY_SIZE];
unaligned_little<uint64_t> expiry; // seconds since epoch
unaligned_little<uint32_t> serial; // serial number
} subkey;
uint8_t subkey_signature[ED25519_SIGNATURE_SIZE] = {};
uint8_t signature[ED25519_SIGNATURE_SIZE] = {};

bool decode(std::string_view view);
}

and then signature::decode effectively just needs to call a

base64_decode(this, sizeof(*this), view.data(), view.size()).

(given a base64 decode function that allowed a fixed size output buffer)

You can see there are magic unaligned integer types in there so that the whole thing is not architecture specific.

The entire sample is in

https://gist.github.com/julian-klode/4514ce39d3dc62647b502e5...

Obviously it does not fully match the current spec.

If you wanted to support both structs, you could just try decoding as one or the other, or change the spec to use ed25519 and ed25519-subkey algorithm names :D

> Because of that, the country has an abundance of geothermal renewable sources that account for much of the necessary energy to make the country successfully function.

>Also, Costa Rica can get a lot of rain. With consistent rainfall, their hydroelectric plants can produce a plethora of energy.

While wind and solar get most of the headlines, it seems that geothermal and hydroelectric are actually more useful in going completely carbon-free because they can produce a consistent base load. Win
This seems to be a common opinion in the space. Simpler, more generic is often considered better.

Not only that - but look at the shape of the hip bone between men and women - the latter have wider hips to cater for child-birth. This means men have a massive advantage when running/swimming/cycling/lifting. The same applies to the arms (men have straighter arms) which obviously changes the mechanics when lifting. No amount of hormone therapy will change this.

It depends on what you mean by perform better? My faster speed disc (11+) go about 50 ft further, but I loose a lot of accuracy. I usually can hit my shots with a slower speed driver better but at the expense of greater distance.

This is an interesting thought. I sometimes wonder about those who live in squalor, how can they be happy knowing there are people like me living in nice middle class homes? But then I think that I am happy, despite knowing that in my same city there are people living in absolute mansions. So, I know that there are people nearby that live better than I do, but for some reason I don’t take them into consideration when it comes to my own happiness.
You keep listing second and third tier sports. It doesn't really address my argument about the most popular spectator sports at all. And even if it did I don't think it would do much to defuse my main point, which is that a lot of people will not accept a situation where cis women are effectively barred from winning in any sport.
I believe one of the reasons is they don't have defense spending per-se. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Force_of_Costa_Rica#His... They let the US handle all of that for them, and they spend funds on power. This isn't to say that they're an infrastructure paradise. A region I visited had poor roads and internet connectivity.
(not an expert, just Swedish) it is not illegal to be prostitute in Sweden, you are not allowed to buy it.

Oliver Sacks: Sabbath (2015)
People who throw really hard probably benefit from the higher speed discs, but there are also very good players that drive 9 speeds. Advanced players will carry a variety of drivers with differing speeds because they will want different flight paths depending on the given hole layout. Also, whether you are throw into a headwind or with a tailwind changes how fast the disc is flying (relative to the air).

In general, most drivers are designed to fly in a "S" shaped flight path. When you get this full flight path, you get the most distance. For a right hand player throwing backhand that means your throw should draw slightly to the right at first, straighten out, and then finish with a fade to the left.

If you throw a disc that is rated at too high a speed for you, it will just quickly fade to the left and go into the ground. You often see beginners chucking their drivers way out to the right in order to compensate for this quick turn to the left. It's just really hard to get distance when you do this because the high speed disc really wants to turn left and dive into the ground.

If you throw a disc that is rated too low a speed for you, it will draw too far to the right and will not straighten out and come back left. In this case, you should either throw a bit less hard or move up to a higher speed disc. For beginners it is better to start here because you can actually get a feel for how throwing speed changes the disc flight path.

I have both a 9570 and a 9550, and both have "home"/"end" printed on the left/right keys and work as you would want.

The current XPS on the Dell web site has "home"/"end" printed on the F11/F12 keys. So it seems like a conscious choice of theirs (right or wrong) and not a bug for them to fix.

Is there a BIOS update or something I should avoid that takes the older XPS models and changes their home/end to conflict with what's printed on the keyboard?

> I was afraid some math would support a counterintuitive method

When you say 'math', what does that mean to you?

To me, especially in this case, 'math' as used here (a model) is ultimately a formalization of a decision criteria. The decision criteria used here, VSE, is a value judgment. Assuming the math is correct and the simulation bug free, I'm most interested in assessing the norms (human values and priorities) implicit in the mathematical scoring function.

Though mathematical logic is indeed deductive, using it to assess social systems is subjective.

Interesting! Do you know how it deals with ambiguity? I saw the part about using key order to disambiguate which key was the first letter. But what about words with remaining ambiguity?

I personally favour ranked voting with the feature that you can put multiple candidates at the same rank, and you can leave off candidates you really dislike.

(Putting candidates in the "leave off" set is the same as ranking them below a "none of the below" pseudo-candidate because it means they won't inherit unused vote shares during counting).

That solves your distinguish and C-dislike objections, and feels more honest when voting.

It also lets you feel fair when there are two candidates you both like equally and don't want to add to signal-favouritism when the results come out.

At a local club (where people are friendly so it's not meant to be competitive like in government), having to rank multiple loved and personally known candidates for a committee occupied by multiple people, when you like several equally, doesn't change the outcome at all, assuming they win, but it tends to greatly amplify the tiny, irrelevant biases fron the most petty things people have to draw on into very large differences in reported scores. This makes it looks like one person is very much preferred to be in charge of the rest of the committee or team, much more than is actually true, ie. it doesn't actually represent the voters intentions. The election outcome is representative, but the outsized score differences are interpreted wrongly. So this seeds ungrounded internal divisions after the vote, peculiar strategic voting at subsequent elections, and peculiar behaviours to chase after those "tiny, irrelevant biases". This isn't good for anyone involved. So it's good to allow voters to rank candidates equally for this reason too, if the voter genuinely feels that way.

I don't see it he argument for why "women's" sports should exist, once transgender competitors cause an imbalance.

That is to say, of course people should be welcome to participate regardless of gender, but the championships and prizes should be based on objective measurements (like boxing weight classes, or heights, or whatever), and whatever the public is so enamored of as to generate funding for tournament prizes.

IMO for athletics instead of focusing so much on competitions among a field of elite competitors with tiny differences, and overburdening and destroying their bodies, we should focus on challenges and achievements, and support many many people working to improve their personal records. And "sports ad entertainment" should be a more well rounded entertainment and aesthetic performance, not pointless contests of who gets a slightly lower or higher number on a metric.
