European cities: yes, strollers and baby carriers, babies are everywhere; some countries are mostly empty flats and buy/bring your own furniture, but the Easter you go the less this is prevalent (cost savings); define big enough, but there are usually a lot of sizes on the market, if you need bigger you move, usually out from the center, and you pay the same. Yes kids bother neighbors, but it's the same everywhere (in rural areas dogs bark, neighbors wake up at the first crack of dawn to just do an hour of chainsawing, etc..)
Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

A childhood friend I had turned out to be one of the "crazy stalker" type individuals. I do not know what psychologically leads to this position, but I do know his family was very dysfunctional. I cut him off as a friend when he had a blowup because he discovered his g/f was also dating another friend of ours, and he went to the guys house to beat him up.

So, 20 years later I'm reading the local Facebook feed, and some poor woman has posted this crazy guy she met at a bar was sending her death threats and stalking her and the police were looking for him. And yea, it's my former friend. I replied that I had known him previously and hoped this was all a misunderstanding, but I'd be happy to talk to the police if needed.

And then the sardonic moment: numerous women replied saying, "Yea, he stalked me too." Including one gal I was fairly close to.

My point is only-- mental illness sucks and is widespread. I can see by some twisted logic he felt that stalking this woman was sort of, doing the work in the relationship, being devoted to her, and then being angry when she wasn't returning his affections, and somehow thinking that anger, would get her to fall in line.

I think OF invites these types of creeps and while unfortunate, it should not be unexpected.
While I see how Copilot's data gathering can be considered unethical, in the end I ask myself, does it matter? Would it have been of any concrete advantage to open-source programmers if Copilot hadn't used their source code? I can't think of any
Makes sense, LfW 3.11 should be pretty usable. It could be like DOS+WfW, basically Linux kernel + Windows 10/11 GUI.

The best outcome would be achieving the dream of OS/2 -> Workplace OS, with a microkernel and OS-personalities, so running Linux, Windows, or other OS flavours co-existing on a single shared microkernel: one OS to rule them all.
So what you're saying is that you have the right to host your code for free, to download it from GitHub for free (no bandwith paid) and to behave like new-age Robin Hood when it comes to being offended because the very same company use that code - not to run it, but analyze it. Stop being entitled, it's seriously hard to participate in any kind of progress with offendable cauliflowers like you.
Should have been more precise, I meant fatalities from Psilocybe or little brown mushrooms that look like them.

Looking at statistics for a part of Germany (2006) again, there weren't actually any fatalities but 'only' cases of poisoning.

If you're breaking backwards compatibility anyway, why not go all the way?

I agree there is a need for easy transition, but I think that ease mostly comes from being able to be compiled and linked in existing tool chains like this project does.

I wrote a C compiler as well, got as far as compiling a hello world and all the includes it needs on a standard Linux or MacOS system. My plan was to have a sort of strict option that would be enabled if you wanted to use the new features like modules and namespaces, and the strict option would error on problematic C code.

Anyway I stopped the project when Rust released their first version without garbage collection. It seems to me they solved all my concerns and they didn't even need to integrate C itself.
It isn't. This is normal in mobile games.
It's possible, but still unlikely to be as effective or safe as bombing your target to the ground.

> Wasn't it just a few guys with suitcases, and I think one of them didn't even puncture the container? With conventional weapons there might be more deaths but maybe not.

They had several liters of sarin gas, most of which was splashed on the ground entirely. If they had had some way to spread it as an aerosol the death toll would have been much greater, but still sarin is apparently the most volatile nerve agent, so even in liquid form it evaporates relatively quickly.

Even so, if they had started a fire with a few liters of fuel, even without an explosion, they would have probably killed more than 14 people. If they had pulled out guns, or detonated bombs, the death toll would certainly have been worse.

> If you weigh the bad actors and financial incentives of climate change proponents against the bad actors and financial incentives on the fossil fuel side, do you think the scale tips in favour of more honesty for the fossil fuel side or climate change side?

There's no honesty anywhere - or rather, the honest people get squeezed out of the field. Which is why the issue ends up so polarised.

> There's no doubt groupthink happens in academia on many issues, but the need to displace fossil fuels really is very important. Not just for climate change reasons, but overall human health. For instance, air pollution from fossil fuels kills tens of thousands of people every year.

Changing the subject like this is a huge red flag that you're using motivated reasoning, as you'd probably have noticed yourself if this wasn't such a political issue. It's a very small step from "it's important to displace fossil fuels even if not for the reasons I originally said" to "I'll overstate the effects of climate change to ensure that we abandon fossil fuels as quickly as possible to save thousands of lives", and once you do that all hope of finding the truth lost.
I wonder, and that's really the obvious question since the Matrix and seeing how the field is developing : do we live in a simulated reality? Any chance we could find out?

What legal torrents have disappeared? I'm not sure this is true.

I'll give you a possible answer, ISIS footage perhaps. University's won't support those archives. But I'd have to check.

Hosting a Bronte archive is trivial in general. Not sure why literature people think it's a good idea though. They can't do articles like this then, they become redundant when anyone can google it. Also pretty boring killing off reading rooms.

But I'd be interested in what legal torrents you've seen disappear?

Sorry for your confusion. Currently, you can use Slack to collect and share the messages to your team. You can also add the magic term to connect all related notes together in one page. If you set the magic term `view controller` and the alias `VC`, we will search `VC`, `ViewController`, `view-controller`. We are working on the VS Code extension and the Chrome extension. We want your notes are always on your side when you want to search or collect. Also, all our notes are a small piece of the information and bond with a person. So you can always ask a person. If a person is going to leave the company, we also can generate a transition plan to make sure all the knowledge are transferred correctly.

> Given this, why does Copilot write such crappy code?

> The reason is because of how language models work. They show how, on average, most people write. They don’t have any sense of what’s correct or what’s good. Most code on GitHub is (by software standards) pretty old, and (by definition) written by average programmers.

Does Copilot apply any project quality filters before training? A small minority of public repos on GitHub are awesome projects that are popular and maintained, while the rest are forgotten experiments, side projects and interview answers.

I am developing a dating app and will be adding a venue search function soon. I hope Iggy can provide the data for this with reasonable terms. Specifically, I want to pre-process the data, store it in a database, and use the app's backend to do search.

Google Maps API [1], TomTom API [2], HERE API [3], Mapbox Geocoding API [4], Azure Maps [5], Yelp [6] and other mature geocoding APIs have licenses with extreme restrictions. They forbid storing any of their data. Apps are limited to the search APIs provided directly by the vendor's API. And since caching is forbidden, they carry the risk of unintentionally running up a huge bill. The vendor can suddenly raise the price (as Google Maps API already did once) and applications cannot use caching to reduce costs since that is forbidden by the terms. They require brand attribution. They forbid combining their data with data from other sources, like the app's users. They forbid showing their data on other maps. These limitations make the APIs mostly useless for innovative new applications.

A few new API companies have few data restrictions. Radar [7] allows caching data for 30 days. Geoapify [8] allows saving data.

What is Iggy's policy on saving and caching data returned from the API? I skimmed Iggy's Terms of Service [9] and found nothing about this.

How fresh is Iggy's data for Points-of-Interest hours of operation? I'm mostly interested in osm_coffee_shops, osm_restaurants, and osm_bars.

Well, if you chose a viral license like the GPL, you do not do that to have your code and knowledge being reused in a non viral (possibly closed source) licensed solution. So this is a fundamental issue at least GPL minded authors will definitely mind and fight against.
I'm going to go against the general concensus that seems to be forming here.

In my experience, at any scale, you cannot resolve trust issues by reducing trust. When you reduce trust, people producing the science expect to get more scrutinized and determine they can afford to get less critical of their own work.

The first thing I saw in academia is that scientists are almost never dishonest. Science is a complicated psychological process as you need hope to guide your research and you need rigor to test your hypothesis. When you let hope take a too big spot in your mind you tend to publish your partially tested hypothesis as results and when you lack it you tend to get paralized or to work on predictable work.

And I saw this process multiple times. But I extremely rarely saw actual malice. Even when there was an incentive to produce bad science, you could see that the author genuinely convinced themselves that what they produced was riogorous and correct.

So like in the political arena, it's a vicious circle to reduce trust. And in the contrary it's a virtuous one to increase it. When most of the science is considered genuine, it becomes a much harder hit on any scientist to get its work shown incorrect. That in turn promotes more self criticism which is the cheapeast and most effective kind of review.
> Why? Why is it that if I allow people to paint things, I lose the right to moderate those things? Like it's still my property, right? What causes me to forfeit my property rights?

Good question! In my view, the deciding factor is "universality". I think there is a fundamental difference in nature between a friendgroup and a customer base. When you offer a service to your friends, you may pick and choose how you like on any basis. When you offer a service to the general public, you are in a sense attempting to provide a "plug-in" service to society as a whole, and so the terms of that service should be negotiated with society as a whole, including such things as civil rights. This is exactly where you cross the boundary between being "a private citizen" and " part of the state".

> Or to ask a perhaps different question, could I close the venue entirely?

Yes. Nobody can be compelled to offer a service.

> What if I later reopened it with a list of allowed people and you could only enter if you were on the list? Do I still forfeit those rights? How big does the list have to be for it to be suitably public again?

I think this is a sliding scale. The specific cutoff would always be kind of arbitrary.

> > This seems akin to saying that the theocracy does not discriminate against gay men, because they can marry women just like hetero men can.

> You're going to have to explain this better. Because in practice banning gay men from marrying men prevents them from getting married at all.

No it does not; it merely prevents them from getting married in the way that they like, which is a different way than the societal norm. The right to hetero marriage, as practiced in theocratic societies, inherently normalizes hetero relations and excludes gay relations. However, there is nothing inherently wrong - in the erroneous sense, not the moral sense! - about such a choice. This demonstrates that the constraints you apply to a service, even if they only pertain to the nature of the service and not the persons the service is extended to, can still be discriminatory.

> Keep in mind, today, in the united states no priest is compelled to officiate a same sex wedding.

Likewise, inasmuch as weddings have societal relevance, I think they should be compelled to - or else not officiate any weddings at all.

1. typical home gas stoves in china are far more powerful than normally found in western home kitchens. they're closer to what you'd find in a restaurant kitchen in the west

2. little portable induction cookers are common in china but most people aren't doing stir fries on them. people use them for hot pot at home, and maybe to boil or steam things. they're not the primary cooktop of choice. also something that ties into all this is that eating out is vastly cheaper and more affordable in chinese cities, and even low wage earners in cities might do it for literally every normal meal. those restaurants aren't cooking on induction.

Except I didn't make that claim, I edited the DOM to make the button read, "I haven't read this agreement and waive no rights." Even if I did not, how do they expect to be able to prove that I did not?

I am well within my rights to modify the copy of a contract supplied to me, so it can hardly be said to be fraudulent to do such a thing. It isn't my fault that they don't want a copy of what I actually agreed to...

I really would like to see someone use this tactic in court. I am quite curious what the legal status of it would be and what the follow up arms race would look like if it a court sided with the user in such a case. I can imagine naive counters where they submit hashes of the agreed upon contents and suddenly typoes become legally binding when they refuse to accept such a modification.
In orders of questions asked, probably not and probably not.
There isn't really a particularly strong case to be made for the simulation hypothesis because it's unfalsifiable and the entire premise of it's alleged liklihood rests on some major assumptions with no evidence.

The fact that it's been given more consideration than as an idle philosophical thought experiment has more to with our current's culture's fixation on computers than a particularly strong argument.

The original thought experiment from Nick Bostrom has also at this point been paraphrased incorrectly by both Neil Degrass Tyson and Elon Musk so the public discourse surrounding it has lost much coherence.
The standard position from the tech corner is that tech companies by definition are doing The Right Thing and going against them is evil/pointless/laughable (there's no consensus). Of course not all corporations are getting the smooth treatment, only tech. And I very much don't agree with this acceptance, we should know better exactly because we're in tech ourselves...
This fails to take into account the average salary increase associated with moving to another location. For me, it was like 20% every few years. I think, over the years, the faster career advancement for a more mobile person dwarfs all the other costs in that table.

> there are mental health costs that are often not talked about

On the contrary, everyone is talking about mental costs, implying that they do not know what they are doing. I know a person who changed her work from being a cashier at a supermarket to a sex worker. Mentally, she benefited a lot. In one job, she felt like an automaton serving people. I other she had personal relationships with her clients. You can guess which is which.

Or another one, also from a sex worker:

"We don’t ask the barista, the plumber, or the mail person whether they really like their job as a measure of whether their industry should be criminalised. Imagine criminalising the whole clothing industry because of bad working conditions in some factories. Or health care. No, we understand that people who work under bad conditions need labour rights. That that is going to help them much more than criminalising their jobs. Why is this so difficult to understand when it comes to the sex industry?"

https://web.archive.org/web/20200220124433/http://rosieheart...

To make it clear - yes, there are risks, short and long-term. I guess some underestimate long-term risks (e.g. revealing one's face online, which is a point of no return; or if they ever do unprotected sex). Yet, "sex workers don't know what they are doing" is a patronizing approach.
> I don't think you can expect the institution to implicate themselves like that.

Um what? It's basic ethical behavior. What has the world come to that someone can defend unethical, unprincipled behavior of a educational institution because "preventing legal and financial liabilities is the #1 priority for institutions ...", with the implication that therefore unethical behavior should be expected?
