Raytheon critical race theory program – White employees to acknowledge privilege
I've got 70,000 photos in my library, with AI search and recognition, all done on my device. Thanks Apple.

In fairness it's not quite as good, but, it's good enough for the searches I've wanted to do so far and gets better all the time. And they're adding searching text in photos this release. I'm happy to wait a little for this better implementation.
They do so with such large profit margins it turns consumers towards new devices. Apple prevents third parties from doing so.
The version of that argument I tend to see is more refined than that: https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2021/04/19/. National Review just had an entire issue on the subject.

The thrust of the argument is that what made California great was that it was a great place to move and raise kids in the suburbs with lots of opportunities. The changes in California are hitting those people the hardest. And those people are in fact leaving: https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/01/09/not-the-golden-state-...

The fact that California continues to be a great destination for young single engineers, venture capitalists, and H-1B workers for whom working at a California tech company is a ticket to staying in the US at all, isn’t responsive to that argument.
If Google jacks up the price of TPU or terminate the TPU usage because they don't like you, you're screwed. It's quite a high risk for commercial product companies.
You mean the way Lyft went out of business because Uber took it all, and then Uber raised their prices 5x?
It's a binary comma code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_code) for integers. If it didn't exist someone would invent it. The implication of Fibonacci numbers isn't arbitrary, it's because Zeckendorf representation is the neatest way to do the job.

"Customer" is an interesting word choice for someone who receives literally 0 value from the agent. Especially now with the internet, but even before with school/work connections, the majority of students/transplants will find their own apartment. They then have to pay the broker fee to whatever agent their chosen landlord has decided to use, in exchange for being a middleman with paperwork.

Many of the prospective tenants do not even find out about this until it is time to officially apply! Since there is usually a deadline to find an apartment, and most apartments will have (proportionally) the same exact fee, the "customer" is really a captive.

Ironically, the person you are replying to tried to actually be a customer with the agent, but since these people have no need to sell apartments (they will sell themselves in NYC and Boston), you're right - why bother? The real key is to become buddies with a few landlords, that's where to spend time.
Yes. Look up Targeted Memory Reactivation on PUBMED: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=targeted+memory+reacti...

This is a form of closed-loop TMR, which is far more efficient.
What exactly is “the data” that we’re talking about? Is it the measurements that were made, and the methodology used to make them? Or is it the conclusion that something in this case is a “myth”? Because I’d suggest that only one of those things is “the data”, and the other one is a subjective interpretation of it. I’d also suggest that people who have an agenda to promote will often attempt to blur the line as much as possible between empirical measurements, and their own opinions about what they’re supposed to mean.

Out of curiosity: what city in Texas to what city in California? I think that's another huge factor in all of this - both CA and TX have vastly varying degrees of cultures across its cities.
Statistics is based on a model.

It becomes invalid when the model becomes invalid.

Here, we had a new phenomena that was not included in the existing model.

It was not "statistically impossible". Rather, it was "not covered by existing statistical model".

Trivial Proof of the Collatz Conjecture
I absolutely think that is possible. I’m sure a combination of factors plays into this.

My point was that when I’ve seen this come up, it’s almost always in the political context. That doesn’t exclude other possibilities, but does seem to be a major contributor to the “buzz” about this topic.
The goal of ESNI is not to bypass China's intranet. The goal is to say to DPI countries such as the UK: either you implement a China-style great firewall or you implement a free internet. There is no middle ground where you can spy on people without it being obvious.
I agree on unit tests for non-trivial regexes as a general rule, but respectfully disagree on lookaheads and lookbehinds.

Things like greedy vs. non-greedy matching, matching newlines or not, handling Unicode correctly, inserting a capturing group when you actually needed a non-capturing group, making sure your regex works if it matches the start or end of a string, escaping characters -- those can be tricky.

On the other hand, lookaheads and lookbehinds are conceptually extremely straightforward, you just need a cheatsheet to remember the syntax is all.

Sure, but that doesn't change the basic point - you can't use an argument for human rights to confer citizen-only rights.

If you're the US government, and you're justifying your power by saying that you respect human rights, and then you do a bait-and-switch and provide citizen's rights but not human rights, you just lied.

That being said, strictly speaking I disagree, citizens do not have full authority on rights and neither are all rights conferred to classes of citizens.

I never understood the insect thing. Every house in our neighbourhood has at least one bird feeder. The birds are lazy and just chill all day around and eat all kinds of seeds, oats and nuts provided by humans. From time to time they bother with worms after the rain. None are ever hungry for sure.
You will get questionned heavily by US customs if you travel "too much" to U.S. even for conferences (you better have proofs for these as well). It is accepted for a conference because duration is short. But they get highly suspicious for longer periods.

Yes, the structure could still help resync if you have a bitstream and not a bytestream (you could identify the MSBs of bytes from their very different statistical behavior), but it isn't as trivial as skipping continuation bytes, those with '10' in the most significant position. You'd need to track all 8 shift positions until you find the one that looks like UTF-8.
I’m skeptical about counting international immigrants here. International immigration is a function of a very specific thing, in California’s case a measure of H1-B sponsor companies. If Indians come to California so they can get an H-1B from Facebook, but their kids them move to Tennessee because of poor quality of life in California, then that’s consistent with the “exodus” theory in my opinion.

I’m an immigrant from Bangladesh and quite a few people in my family moved to NYC. It has lots of support for people with limited English skills, lots of service jobs, etc. But they moved to Long Island as soon as they got their feet under them. It was a proud moment for them when they made the move!

I also wouldn’t count births or deaths. People don’t choose where they’re born. The exodus theory is generally supported by reference to “net internal migration.” (People coming from other states minus people moving to other states.) That’s really what illustrates people voting with their feet.
And the best solution is extremely popular: Tax carbon production, and use 100% of that tax revenue as a Universal Basic Income (or Negative income tax, same thing)
Dallas to Los Angeles -- very similar in some regards, very different in others.

Funnily enough, I'd say Houston (which as a Dallasite I grew up bashing on, in the way SF does LA) is probably the most similar Texas city to Los Angeles.

COPPA restrictions only "appl[y] to an operator of a general audience website if it has actual knowledge that a particular visitor is a child"[1]. As for GDPR, crash reports and auto-updating seem likely to fall under "legitimate interests", which means that the requirements for parental consent would not apply.

Any interpretation of GDPR expansive enough to prohibit children from using software containing an auto-updater would also certainly prohibit them from sending an email or browsing most websites.

Exactly. Insurance companies are very interested in Real World Data (RWD) around genomic based treatments. By using those data they can have a better sense of which patients would be likely to respond to which drugs, and steer treatment that way.
You missed the point. OP is talking about app and IoT devs hard coding DoH servers into their products so that they can bypass any tracking, advertising, and privacy restrictions (aka piHole) you put in place.

Isn't the answer to 2 to have a pre-production environment to calculate the diffs/changesets/etc against, or even to deploy the change to to test it? I know with CloudFormation, for all its faults, is pretty good at making a hypothetical changeset before it runs, and if that's not safe enough, you can just deploy it to your dev environment and use the changes succeeding and your service being up as a integration test.
I realize you're being sarcastic but we're contractually and lawfully obligated to meet that.

I don't understand the problem. Use something like `terraform plan` as a comment on the pull request and manually look over the changes before pulling in.
> how will I get others to see my content?

This service gives you a website, so I'd imagine you'd get an audience the same way you normally should on a typical blog:

- Make good content

- Judiciously share that content and collect feedback

- Let members of the circles you shared with continue the cycle as they re-share, adapt, cite, and respond to your content.

- Notice other people hosting websites of their own that mention you; advise them to follow the same steps.

- Sit back as the recursion triggers logistical growth.

This strategy has worked out quite well for multiple online identities of mine. Truly good content doesn't need a silo or advertising to be recognized.
This was a clever take back in 2008. However, by now most people understand that an increased average global temperature doesn't mean it is uniformly warmer everywhere, it means more extreme weather events. One cold month doesn't mean that a decades long trend is false.

Glad I could catch you up on the debate! hopefully you will think of more interesting and convincing arguments in the future. If you really want to argue that climate change isn't real, you'll have to do better.
And other the ethical people bias progress towards ethical industries. As unethical people won't care whether their employer is ethical, the ethical companies have a larger labor pool to draw from.

Perhaps even stronger if the ethical folks are in-demand enough to have choices in where they work.
Taking antimatter fuel out of your carefully designed, failsafe magnetic containment tanks and putting it into a highly-volatile asteroid of doom (attached with what? Antimatter-immune rope that can pull a billion tonns at 1G?) does not mean the rocket equasion gives you a free pass.

That's not at all how Let's Encrypt or any HTTPS CAs work (or have ever worked). You send them a certificate signing request, and they respond with a signed certificate. You never give them your private key.
I think it's a problem. Sometimes I'd like to ask a question because I disagree with a comment, but I'm afraid it's a downvote-bait in case there is a reply.

I try to upvote grey comments, even if I disagree or they are wrong. Unless they are offensive or very wrong. And for follow ups in a discussion my threshold for very wrong is even higher.
I think the point is that we should compare major metropolitan centers/coastal communities in CA to major metropolitan centers and coastal communities in other states. That there are places relatively cheaper in CA is not in question, but those cheaper places are likely similar to even cheaper places in other states.

The opportunities available in Eureka are not the same ones available in the Bay Area (although it's likely gotten better). I suspect they don't even stack up to Raleigh favorably. Eureka is much smaller than many bay area cities, and more importantly, is isolated, so it feels much smaller than even the ones that it is similarly sized to, as once you leave Eureka, you're not immediately entering another city of the same or larger size.

> And just as many people prefer cash over electronic payments. It still doesn't mean that cash is, in any way, fatally flawed.

I don't think that's true. Someone asking to be paid in cash is inherently suspicious (at a minimum they're probably evading tax, if not an outright scammer).

> Of course they have to go to court to see their property rights enforced. Rights/laws are always enforced by humans, not by automated systems.

Right, which eliminates the big selling point of bitcoin. Code isn't and can't be law, because law enforcement will enforce the actual law rather than the code.

> Even if that was the case (and, as I pointed out, it's not clear that it is the case... a court can always compel a person to give out their keys under the threat of force, as long as that person is within their jurisdiction, regardless of blockchain magic sprinkles), that would make blockchain assets more valuable (since that means they can't be easily seized from you against your will), and not less.

I don't think that's true. If things are difficult to protect from theft then that makes them less valuable, e.g. a second-hand bicycle in a high-crime city is worth less than the same bicycle in a country that has bicycle registration and strong law enforcement. Decent people generally prefer to live under a legal system that returns stolen property to its rightful owners rather than "possession is the whole of the law"; yes, there is a risk that the courts might wrongly decide that my property was stolen from someone else and take it from me and give it to them, but you have to weigh that against the risk of my property actually being stolen by someone else.

You can’t track all requests anyway, as they can be trivially tunneled through encrypted streams with bundled certs.

This is the tradeoff of running arbitrary Turing-complete programs. If you don’t like what a program is doing, or that it doesn’t use libc or some standard way to do DNS resolution, your only options are to either change the program to do what you want, or don’t run it.

The issue with thinking in terms of normal ground temperature is two fold. First heat pumps are removing energy in the winter so the ground might normally be 4C but it drops to say 0C. Second your working fluid never reaches soil temperature, so it might end up at -4C next to the pump.

Anyway, you only receive benifits when air temperatures are below the temperature of your ground loop. If the outside temperature needs to hit -4C before that happens you’re only benefiting from a smaller percentage of the year. Further that benefit is again constrained by the delta between resistance heating and what your ground source is providing the heat pump.

Generally it takes a combination of lower cooling costs in the summer and lower warming costs in the winter to make ground source heat pumps worth it, so being limited to a few months in the winter vs a 20+k installation cost is prohibitive.
Ah yes, controversial conversations, we surely should not be letting people have those. Online conversations should be of the government approved variety only. And sending notifications about non government approved conversations? Atrocious, and dangerous!

Maybe you’re right. We should ban online conversation tools and use telephones exclusively, because their inherent lack of scalability and features means people can’t organize as effectively. That will definitely fix our problems.
Idahoan here, previously lived in Utah. Just adding to your point. Both Idaho and Utah are becoming inundated with people from California. It's mind boggling how hard it is to find housing here. When we bought our last house we were repeatedly outbid by cash offers from California buyers.

In my current neighborhood there have been 7 families that moved in during the last 12 months. One (us) from Utah, one from Texas, and the other 5 were from California.
