The astroturfing against Assange became insane at a certain point. There was a time where you could say “Wikileaks” nearly anywhere online and have a flood of comments calling Assange various things and anyone who didn’t outright hate him a terrorist.

I love these things. The scent and feel of wood burning to keep you warm is ingrained through nearly a million years of human history and evolution. It's more a part of the human experience than the concept of living in a group of more than a dozen people. It goes as far back in our shared experience as clothing. It predates writing by a longshot, and touches possibly the moments of language as a whole. Monogamy, marriage, every concept we have of interpersonal and romantic relationships is more modern and constructed than this simple chemical reaction that changed our species from simple hominids to Civilization Builders. A nice wood fire scratches the primal itch all humans (that I know) occasionally feel better than most things.

Do we really need to shed such a cornerstone of humanity in order to remain being human on this rock?
> In this case the facial recognition tech itself was arguably not unreliable.

You could train a fake money detection AI with cat videos from youtube, it would probably do something with images of cats. However I hope no one would try to argue in front of a court that the resulting AI would be reliable at detecting fake money. In this case a stolen "do not use as id" slip was apparently good enough to serve as input validation, I would be surprised if their database wasn't overflowing with bad data.
As dang mentions in the post, the YC founders themselves aren't necessarily the best suited to edit these kinds of posts, which is why they're taking so long to process.

That being said, I agree that attempting to scale/crowdsource the editing might be a very good idea, and will at the very least (hopefully) reduce the amount of work needed by dang.

As I understand, the GSM and Bluetooth modules are closed source because patents etc? We would need open hardware for the entire phone, then the software will come.
Yeah, that statement was confusing I guess. Same as you, my induction hob boils water in a suitable pot faster than my largest gas hob.

The largest gas hob I've ever used is 20,000 BTU/hr. It will heat up a saucier faster and more evenly than any electric or induction hob could hope to, but that's partly due to the pan's narrow base, and to the way I use it. It doesn't often sit on a hob for very long.
Historically, providing alternative methods of de-escalating situations to law enforcement has proven effective in diminishing usage of lethal force. In the end it's speculation, and your guess or mine.

Your guess is premised on (1) the belief that police officers will act more carelessly, thinking they're in a video-game if they control remote machines. My guess is premised on (2) the belief that undue escalation of force happens when police officers feel their life is at risk, and removing this element from the situation will improve things.

(1) assumes that police officers are acting violently out of disregard for others, and (2) assumes that police officers are acting violently out of fear for themselves.

I'm a humanist and I think (2) is more likely than (1). It seems a simpler and more pragmatic assumption, to me, that police officers may act overly violently due to fear. I much prefer dealing with someone who's able to maintain a cool head, than dealing with someone who feels threatened.

What is great is: replaceable battery and dipswitches to physically turn on and off every module in the phone.
Does your induction stove also work if water/muck gets on it?

I have only used one at a holiday house, and I swear it was the most temperamental thing in the world. A few drops of water or oil and it refuses to work.

Could just be that I am using an early model (this one was bought 10+ years ago, it has a touchpad for controls instead of knobs which also blows)

As a male who identifies with this trait, why?

Most emotions seem to just hold you back. Why cry about a situation when you should more likely focus your energy into finding a solution?

For me it's not that emotions are so much "swallowed in silence and not talked about"... it's that they're fundamentally not useful.

If I'm stressed out or sad or etc about something, that's something to be solved, not something to be sad about. Why be sad about something you can either solve or ignore?

To put it another way: You can either solve it or you can't. If you can solve it, do so. If you can't, why put energy/emotion into it?
How can a student with limited resources excel at high school maths and physics?
Hi. My name is Mike. My son Tom and I set up our site www.autotutor.com.au as our attempt to provide an answer to the above question.

My view is that the answer lies in graded internet practice tests and exams with a feedback loop provided by available solutions. Teacher or mentor supervision is preferable but not essential. Active learning beats passive. Watching video lessons and reading books can be very time consuming and may not lead to much progress in the ability to solve actual problems. On the other hand, attempting or succeeding to solve appropriate problems leads to quick learning through the mental exertion involved. Learning involves effort.

Learning maths is like learning to ride a bike. Videos and books are all very well but at some stage you need to actually get on the bike. Also, many students fail to get into tertiary education because they do not pass the required exams, or they do get to university but then spend the first year or more trying to catch up on secondary school maths. I think the best place to learn secondary school maths is at secondary school. Six or so years at high school is plenty of time to learn what is needed.

At our site we provide skills tests and practice exams for a wide range of year 7 to 12 (English language) maths and physics exams worldwide and have received rewarding feedback from many students. The majority of the thousands of students using our site so far have come from India, The Philippines and Bangladesh. We have over 5k questions in our database but this appears to be over 50k questions because of the mapping system we have developed. The system works on PCs, tablets and mobile phones.

We provide full free skills and quiz access to students. Teachers and schools need to pay. In my view a student who uses our system to gradually build their skills should do well in any high school maths or physics exam they choose.

The main problem we have relates to marketing. We find online paid marketing expensive and a large expenditure on this is not at present justified.

Any comments on the above would be appreciated.

Not as big a need to protect the robot, but the robot might be trying to protect other people, and thus would require some method of disabling an attacker. Egregious example: a hostage situation, or an active shooter situation. With a remote controlled robot, you can use less lethal weapons against the attacker, since the robot can be sacrificed (whereas I assume we'd rather not sacrifice police officers).
> if the axioms at the start are all true.

Axioms are true by definition; that's what "axiom" means. (They might also be false, but (if and) only if your system is inconsistent.)

> Case (1) that machine doesn't really halt

This is not a state of affairs: all you know at any given time is that the machine hasn't halted yet (after some specific finite number of steps), or that it has aquired some termination-precluding invariant like a infinite loop (which you can detect only strictly less than all of).
I think its an investment in future, those who are ahead in this race they are just ahead. The countries that fail to realize this dont have their eyes on the future. Malaysia in this case might be thinking that crypto is a threat to their Islamic Banking model.

Also, where I live it is permitted to wear fabric face masks that do not protect against the virus. They do stop drops of sneeze granted.
I think those type of masks are useful for reminding others to keep their distance more than they are for actually protecting against the virus.
The steel pans that @moate is talking about are heavier commercial pans-- thicker than what you're probably used to. My steel crepe pans are nearly 3 mm thick.

You're right about cheap stainless pans. They're the very worst. Stainless has even lower thermal conductivity than cast iron or carbon steel.
It would be interesting to see followups about these people who had significant brain-computer interfaces. How long the implant stays functional, infections, life-expectancy changes.

The Dobelle Eye for example. In the early 2000s Dobelle Eye brain implant allowed blind man to drive a car in a parking lot using cameras that feed video into his into the visual cortex. They had to make the operation outside the US (Lisbon) and patients had occasional seizures even then.

I can reel off a list longer than recorded history of entirely unprecedented events of worldwide impact that have happened in the past few decades versus the past 5000.

The imagination being entertained here is your own; that humanity's future from this point could be even remotely similar to anything that's ever happened before.

Every choice we make as a whole now is of extreme importance, and almost nothing we can conceive of can be sensibly considered to be off the table.
All these discussions sound so similar to those we used to have in the early 90s about proprietary software...
Also cost, I can buy a gas stove for 400$, how much for that induction?
While 60hz screen refreshes are less smooth than 120hz, the small (but noticeable) of a difference due to refresh rates wouldn't be correctly describable as "stutter".

I stopped using AT&T while ago, and have no love for them, but let's be fair: the OP bought an unlocked phone elsewhere (not from them) and now complaining that they are not replacing it with comparable model. As sombody who always buys unlocked phones I have no expectations from my carrier to support or replace them. I can always sell them though. I can also always leave the carrier as having unlocked phone allows me to stay on month-to-month plan. It is sad they have to shut down their 3G network, but I am sure they have business pressure: support costs, bandwidth allocation, etc. This is the price for rapid progress of all phone technologies from good old GSM to 5G in recent just a couple decades. Old stuff needs to make space for new.

Yeah, I do believe that patents tend to undermine innovation pretty much everywhere, and yes, I do acknowledge that that was not the intent. The intent was to grant a temporary monopoly on an invention, to give an inventor time to 'cash-in'. Unfortunately that means it's effectively 'closed-source': no one else can make improvements to it w/o permission, and so I think a lot of innovation happens when a patent lapses. If that hasn't happened with e-ink displays, cool, then I must've misread something. It's hard to imagine e-ink displays being patent-free however.
I think this is an interesting question though, why can we run our own anitivirus on our target computers to check for viruses but not on our own phones.

I think the fight against mass surveillance needs first to be lost in order to even start. Right now the average citizen has not witnessed an impact on his life and there's no shortage of other problems he has to deal with.

I'm not saying techies should just stay passive though. Special cases - journalists, activists, politically involved - need to be protected right now, and when the problem will be generally understood we need to have solutions ready for the average person: information, software, proposed legislation, etc.
Yes, I expected the book to go into more detail but it’s actually not. You get as much content in this article as you do the book.
Regarding macOS they write "On MacOS, as OpenGL is being deprecated, we will also supply builds based on ANGLE (over Metal this time) so the editor and exported games using GLES3 continues to run." but the ANGLE Readme says that GLES3.0 support is "in progress": https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle/+/main/README.... with no status for all the following .X versions.

Is the ANGLE Readme just outdated in regards to Metal support or am I missing something?

In my experience, a degree doesn't matter much whether someone is able to 'grasp cs topics'; a willingness to learn on the job is vastly more important.

If others suffered because of me, it would be because I was once a junior developer with no practical experience -- which applies to everyone, regardless of whether they have a degree or not.
By coils, I mean the old-fashioned flat spiral-shaped resistance heating elements. My aspersion is mostly tongue-in cheek. They're perfectly fine.

I do prefer halogen/radiant for the ease of cleaning, but you're right that the temperature control usually sucks.
There's something going very badly wrong when a state or country that decides to decommission existing nuclear to replace it with any mix of sources that includes fossil fuels. That said, I'm still in favour of keeping gas stoves as long as the co2 output is small. I also think that incinerating plastics and generating electricity from the heat is the best way to deal with "the plastic problem".

> Any solution to the tolerance problem?

Cycle between different drugs. When you develop tolerance for one, switch to another.

> Is there a way to microdose? I'd like to be able to have tiny, controlled amounts every time.

Get a small vaporizer with degree-exact temperature control. Varying the temp even by 5 degrees between 175..230 degrees celsius produces very different types of high. Lower temperatures vaporize more CBD and less THC, leading to more body glow, while higher temps do the opposite and go to your head. Also, you don't have to inhale smoke and the dose is easier to control.

> Is there a solution to munchies?

...Eat more?

> Are my memory problems due to weed or is this just age? (When not using) I feel like I've lost lots of childhood memories and I have more difficulty than ever with names.

Weed unlocked childhood memories I didn't remember having. But it also makes me draw blank, i.e. completely forget the train of thought or conversation. I think it's a strength/power, allowing you to discard useless memories.
So every natural disaster hence forth is global warming cool.

Absolutely yes, if you're out of your mind.

Don't! Haha.
OK you take more risk of dying every time you get in car..
Perhaps I should've added

because I'd guess that induction is less hazardous than gas in these respects, and some otherwise would-have-been gas ranges will be replaced by induction.
In common law, there is a doctrine called "strict liability".
Some activities, e.g. building demolition, are so inherently risky that, in the event of a tort, the court does not bother to determine whether the defendant was malicious or negligent: the plaintiff is simply awarded damages.

Guarding Jeffrey Epstein seemed very much like a strict liability situation. If it was obvious to everyone on the planet that Epstein would have some sort of "suicide" on your watch, and you failed to bubble wrap him in gopros and triple-guard him with officers from three different units, you're just at fault, period.

Wardens can't realistically control every single thing that happens on their turf. But they can absolutely keep the single most important prisoner in the country alive, even against that prisoner's will, if they want to.
No, that's the entire point of the statement. The debating of such things is counter to the stated goal weapons are purported to be brought into existence to achieve.

We don't stop people killing and harming each other by figuring out how to kill/harm them (or threaten to do so), by ever more powerful means.

We stop people killing each other by figuring out how to stop them (and us) wanting to do anything remotely like that in the first place.

Unless we change direction, we will end up where we're going.
Not all of them...
