One way to think of this is that the "ruling class", for lack of a better term, in the US is college educated professionals.

To them, "college is good" is an unquestionable truth, and the systems they build will always give more resources to colleges.
Bitcoin supply curve is a lie because security from fees is too low and unstable. Bitcoin only had $548k in fees yesterday, and the trend is downwards. A fundamentally insecure chain has a negative feedback loop: no reason to pay any fees to use it, which makes it even more insecure.

Bitcoin in the future is going to either be forced to introduce tail inflation in a hard fork, or start depending on secure external consensus (most likely ethereum) in a soft fork. Either option completely destroys any narrative bitcoin ever had.

There's plenty of room for the cyberpunk heroes, but I can't name a single such story where the hero was a megacorp.

Google is a mega corporation. If the world is trending cyberpunk, they're going to be the Arasaka of the story, not the Hiro.
Genuine question: how is conceivable-therefore-possible even a real argument here?
It may not have been visible for much of that time.
> if the radio station has not gotten the consent of the caller to broadcast the call

That’s weirdly irrelevant.

> There isn't really any precedent to say that Google's position here is wrong

You don’t need a legal precedent to determine what is wrong. You are making the logical fallacy of affirming the consequent here.

> the technology doesn't distinguish the use cases, and Google applies more or less the same policies to all of them.

That’s the reason this is a problem.

You have conceded that Google’s restrictions on what you can share affect all kinds of collaboration.
https://youtu.be/Em3XplqnoF4 | David Lynch explains Transedental Meditation (clip from a 1 hour documentary)

All physics and consciousness converge to the universal one. The unified field of one.

TM is pretty easy, just come up with some nonsense sounds and repeat them over and over, this is a mantra. Eventually switch from saying you mantra out loud to saying it in your mind. Don't worry if thoughts roll in just keep your conscious on the mantra.

It seems to work for me and I don't typically enjoy meditation. It takes practice. Good luck!

Basically science and theoretical physics followed the observational science down to a place where they got stuck, the good news is throughout history, including today, spiritual people have already found and understood this truth.

Everything in our universe is built fundamentally out of the same universal field of one: mass, spirit, and consciousness!

Everything (mass and consciousness) is created out of this field, and the act of observing it can and does change it!
I second this but it's not even about being the best of humans. At least 90% of amateur cyclists are out of my league and yet I insist to go cycling, because I like it.
Because anyone can create a fork of a chain the forks have to be authorized. The easiest way to authorize a chain would be to let the custodian (is that the right word?) of USDT decide which chains are authorized for USDT. If the custodian authorizes overlapping USDT then it is equivalent to creating an empty chain and creating USDT out of nothing to fill the newly created chain. In other words it would dilute the value of USDT.

This is an interesting problem because it shows a fundamental flaw in blockchains. They only have authority over themselves. No wonder cryptocurrencies and their advocates are so self centered. Because nothing that exists outside their chain (even other cryptocurrencies) is graspable!

It's not trustless because the trust (in the algorithm) is still there, the difference is that they minimized the need for trust to the absolute minimum. It's no longer about how much you trust but about what you trust.
The web browser graphics have come so far. To be able to put image tags to creating 3d graphics, the change is constant. What is there that has not currently been implemented in today's computing?

Ethyl alcohol may cause harm to the body, but these findings do suggest that the total effect on health is positive.

Interestingly, (wrt. https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2017.06.054) the 15 drink-a-week threshold that's often quoted as a kind of limit to safe drinking puts your all-cause-mortality risk right at that of lifetime teetotalers. The utilitarian implication is that, after 15 drinks a week, you really are causing harm relative to not drinking at all. So its costs outweigh any benefits. But that implies that there are benefits. These may be very subtle.

Perhaps alcohol is part of a balanced diet. It arises during digestion. You find it in ripe fruit, a significant part of many primate diets. It also appears to be part of the typical diet in many of the regions of the world that have the highest life expectancy. Would they live even longer if they could shake the habit? Maybe we could study that genetically. Are these cultures just healthier for other reasons, and thus more tolerant of alcohol? It would be like the entire society has shifted along the curve shown here https://www.jacc.org/cms/asset/f6fb55ac-3d9d-4e40-8128-ec785....
I was surprised the M1 was only 6x or so the RPI in performance. I thought it would be much more. I guess the RPI 4 is more advanced than I thought.
Alcohol use linked to over 740k cancer cases last year
But in these cases aren't undergraduate degrees normally three years, and a master's degree one? So that's four years total, which is what Americans do anyway.

An American undergraduate plus masters is six years, which is absolutely insane.

Let alone their PhDs, which mean you could easily end up 29 before you graduate.

I had a friend in Europe who finished their PhD with top-tier publications in two years - much less mucking around than in the US.
Ok I was wrong about this. Dolphin replaced it as the default file manager but it continues to be developed.
>They start by assuming a causal relationship that we simply don't know actually exists

They assume this causal relationship based on decades of randomised controlled trials (the only ethical way to get this information in humans). Their estimate for the risk of cancer based on alcohol consumption comes from previous work which would have carefully summarised the data from these trials and conservatively estimated the risk.

As for the counter that alcohol may reduce cancer risk. Sure, that is true. You can also demonstrate that sunscreen causes cancer. But does the increased cancer risk from sunscreen outweigh the risk of getting too much sun exposure? Probably not (keep wearing sunscreen!). It is easy to imagine a similar equation for alcohol.
The direct incentive is gain from staking ether and transaction fees.
There's a big difference between describing one's own experience and labeling others.
Can you provide a precedent for Google's position being wrong other than reasoning by analogy from other telecommunications infrastructure (which we already treat differently from Google Drive shared documents)?

[Edit: your comment changed after I posted mine]

Oh, if your primary concern is that Google reserves the right to get into private collaborations and modify access to those documents, that's something other than what I'm arguing. I'm personally ambivalent (their house and their rules... If you don't like the rules don't live in the house), but I can see why people would have more concern with that situation than the situation where they block wide-cast sharing via a view-only link.
AVX-512 code generator NN-512 vs. TensorFlow

Why is it that Google seems to always have these sorts of very public employee issues and controversies? I’ve got a pretty good idea, their work culture is one of the most toxic in respect to diversity of thought and freedom of expression. This echo chamber culture comes all the way from the top. Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way advocating that employees should be allowed to post or disseminate any sort of hate speech, but this seemed like an attempt to apologize for past mistakes and open up a dialogue and conversation. You couldn’t pay me enough to work at Google, I’d probably also be fired pretty quickly as well.
Sadly today we live on a world where the town square is digital but he government has failed to declare it common carrier. That is a failing of society and a reason just a few people can control the speech of billions.

You are technically correct based on current legal precedent but only because of the government's failure to regulate these companies not because it's inherently so.

If Milwaukee had been a company town they would still have been required to allow it, but because of weak politicians failing to ensure free speech is preserved we have arrived at a point where Mark Zuckerberg or Google's trust and safety team can arbitrarily ban speech for billions without any consequence or legal challenge.

Meanwhile just the other day the white House spokesperson was asking why if someone is banned on one platform they aren't banned on all of them automatically. If you don't see this dystopian future just over the hill you never will until it's too late.
Almost every European I have met through work, and through my European friends have master degrees.

Mostly in softer fields like marketing and (English) language.

They have all communicated the same thing - it's a necessity for starter jobs.
This is great, but what I'm really looking forward to is research into psychedelics with techniques/practices to boost mental health even in non-DSM-diagnosed a.k.a healthy individuals.

I haven't used Galaxy but I'm almost certain the answer is yes since Galaxy doesn't have DRM like other store clients and you see Galaxy related dlls in the standalone installers as well so I'm guessing the integration is the same either way and doesn't cause trouble without Galaxy present. As of semi-recently you can buy games on Epic via Galaxy but if they are DRMed you still need the Epic launcher to play them since GOG won't add DRM to Galaxy.
You need a cite for that, and some definition of 'scientist' that actually lends credibility.

"Couldn't have been natural" is especially a stretch, given that SARS and Bird Flu manifested naturally in the same part of the world a few years prior.

>Arguably they only paid such a high price due to their industrial underdevelopment which was partly due to their economic and political system.

Very arguably, as it's actually the opposite: the socialism forced mass force industrialization, and prepared USSR better for WWII than Russia ever had any chance of being.
The base problem is the idea that a given academic degree gives you access to some career. It's messy, because clearly some do work that way. With the film degree it should have been clear that there's only so many relevant jobs going each year, and thus your chance as a graduate is going to be minimal. It would certainly be in everyone's interest to have transparency about the destinations. Master's degrees are also often the kind of thing people do if they did an unspecifically directed undergrad (eg English, History) and then want to get their door in somewhere (eg law conversion), so it's important that people understand what they're buying.

If you look at most things though, there's no connection between what you do at work and what you studied. At best studying some subject means you are interested in some broad area, and you are conscientious enough to have done all the exercises, so employers should perhaps hire you in the hope that you can learn how the online advertising industry works, or how the plastic supply chain works, etc.

Looking back at my degree, it was really a bunch of indexing interesting things in science and math for potential further investigation. And then an exercise in flaneuring: wandering about, coming upon something interesting, and then being able to focus on figuring out that thing as opportunities arise.
is taxation as fucked up in other countries as it is in the usa? rules set up to encourage people to have to pay some shady third party to know how much they owe (even though the irs could tell them directly).
There are people that drink what the study says to drink, every day?

What else would 'controlled' mean in this context?
This is why I prefer PhD or research degrees to Masters as the "curriculum" is more modular (i.e. I can quickly change my focus if something wasn't working out or learn new things without needing permission).

US/Europe govt should pay people to do research degrees for 12-15 months with some screening as to ability. Run it like a library and/or makespace and remove bloated universities out of the equation. This plus some sort of machine rental or access service (e.g. pay per use) for scientific/fab equipment and open methods for peer review publication would revolutionise adult education in the sciences and engineering.

> Like, if Google has a hidden agenda here that makes it any more fundamentally compromised as a judge of disinformation than anything else, then whether or not it will be a free CDN for arbitrary content isn't remotely our biggest problem.

Indeed, the bias in Google Search is actually a very serious problem.
The error you are making is that the authors are calculating risk. That is, very broadly, the chance of getting cancer goes up if you drink. The authors do not claim that drinking == cancer. That is ridiculous and would rightly be ignored by cancer researchers.

Lots of people drink and smoke and will not ever get cancer. The authors are not disputing this. They do however suggest that drinking might increase your risk of getting cancer.
sometimes groups of people are just nasty, bad people worthy of mocking and ridicule

Yes, conservatives aren't just people with a different belief system than yours. They are bad people, liars, evil, rotten to the core, and deserve to die.

Last time I checked, the RPI to really be unlocked needs an additional PCIe line. IIRC, right now, I think there's just one, and the consumer board uses it for USB. The blade edition makes it available on the connector, but then you have to choose between network or storage. It'd be ideal if there were three PCIe lines, one for usb, one for network, one for storage.
The song sets up the mood for sure, but I think there is a bit more to it.

The town where you (as a player) happen to crash doesn't seem to be fully populated. Maureen drops a line about people leaving, but doesn't clarify why, leaving you with assumptions. Wandering around the town you hear that song you've mentioned, that's a big one for sure. A bit later, you have to ride across a desert which isn't exactly post-apocalyptic by itself, but does radiate a certain vibe - the color palette is rather peculiar. And then you meet that cave-dwelling Cavefish biker gang which certainly doesn't help with brushing off (fairly established at this point) post-apocalyptic feel :)
Do you get an academic degree?
> You spend 60 or 80€ on three or four RPIs,

No. I agree with you that the RPI is a great experiment board, but usually you don't get them for below 30€ (20 for the zeros). Then you need an SD card (10€) and probably power supply. Add on a case and some electronics if you're fancy, then add 5€ shipping.

I like the RPi, don't get me wrong. But something like a RPI cluster easily ends up in the 150-200€ range, even in it's most minimal form. The GP is right that, unless you're going specifically for having a cluster or GPIO, other options are simply more performance for your money.

> Your credential is only worth something because someone else doesn't have it.

This is an unbelievably cynical take on the world. Society and the economy are not zero-sum, and having better education and better skills make someone better off without taking away an equal amount of opportunity from others.
To reframe, perhaps we live in a society where anyone who wants to can join the town square by putting up their own website, but almost everyone would much rather hang out in the hotel lobbies of Facebook, Google, and Twitter because the amenities are much nicer and those companies hand out free megaphones (in the form of interest-surfacing algorithms).
I wonder if this is the reason for the recent Ontario license plate fiasco. The new design for license plates had a blue background but they were very difficult to read.

From what I understand about these models, having studied and applied machine learning but not deep learning, they all build abstractions (embeddings) akin to eigenfaces[1][2] where many samples of a feature are turned into an abstract feature. These abstract features are then manipulated by the model. Sure, just like with Fourier transform-based compression, anything can be reconstructed from primitive features, it is called overfitting and the challenge of training these models is building a learning process that achieves generalization rather than overfitting. It is not true that 'it is not clear that there is abstract learning', because without it, generalization is impossible, and without generalization the model wouldn't pass even the most trivial benchmarks.

Neither TPM, DRM, nor an app store was ever necessary for secure online banking, so I'm not sure what service you're referring to. TLS doesn't require those things.
> their industrial underdevelopment which was partly due to their economic and political system

I'm sorry? They went from a peasant society immediately to defending against multiple foreign invasions (including the U.S.) to fighting and defeating the fascists, all in three decades. That was achievable only due to their economic and political system.
Why not a robot?

They get perfect scores, with IQs over 69,420 and they can only be wrong unless a human told them to do something incorrect. They also can do problem solving faster and cheaply 24/7.

If I understand it, they seem to be advocating for some sort of dualism. However consider a cpu, it runs on known physical perspectives. But imaging trying to reverse engineer by examining what happens inside an operating system/program running on it. You can get quite interesting emergent behaviour from a relatively simple system (a processor). So just because physics seems relatively simple, I don't think that has to mean consciousness is easier. I feel its more emergent.
I find this very much fascinating, although I can't understand it. I hope I can, eventually, fully appreciate "higher math" questioning like this one, and would be really grateful if someone could point me what to study, as an "amateur mathematician" with only background on engineering calculus.
Many drugs feel great but don't make you more productive.

Medical issues are a big exception yeah. I wasn't able to focus at all while high, at least not for a prolonged period of time... I guess it's just different for me.
