Man you're so welcome I mean it takes so much courage and self-awareness and insighy to even like... like admit that reflection to oneself in private little lone on a public forum. Thanks for inspiring me today and for directing some of that goodwill my way.

I don't think we can give up on accessibility standards but I'm really no expert. I think there's a good analogy between how you know commercial buildings need to have accessibility affordances like wheelchair ramps. And I think in that space it really works for number of reasons. Again I'm no expert in how this comes about but when you have a critical mass of standards in the construction industry and like a permitting process and an approval process where buildings are constructed only if they conform with you know standards which include accessibility then I think you can ensure, and there's sort of an expectation, that you get these affordances and then I think the marginal cost of adding this stuff when everybody in the supply chain, architects and so on, already conforms to this cost is very small for buildings... so I think that's the right allocation of cost in this case because it's efficient. Like I'm not even sure if accessibility ramps are such a great solution for disabled people but they seem to be addressing the opportunity to enhance access and they are pretty prevalent at least in developed countries. I think it's a better solution than asking every disabled person to have some special sort of wheelchair that can climb up stairs or some kind of intelligent wheelchair. Because I think in that case the cost of providing such technology to all these people right now with the technological landscape we have with consumers, it doesn't make sense, it's too expensive. It's more efficient and scalable to have building people include this stuff.

But I think accessibility doesn't have that critical mass across the supply chain of software and it is more expensive to include but on the other hand right now there's not really a good alternative on the sort of disabled consumer technology side there is no AI solution that can do this. I think a hybrid approach might work but I do think we need to look at like the AI side of having some sort of intelligent user agent that can provide the successibility information and at least have a discussion with that context that there are other options worth exploring. I think that shifts the discussion at least in appearance away from ideology and towards a solutions focus. and then maybe the sense will be cultivated that some of the resistance to including accessibility is not an ideological thing and not because people are uncaring about disabled people, it might become seen to be partly because there's a sense that this is not like a technical solution that smells good in some ways.

Anyway I'm not an expert but thanks for engaging and I'm humbled and grateful for your response here.

It’s out of date at this point, but I plotted the Global Health Security Index against covid death rates back in November if you’d like to get a sense of the relationship: https://twitter.com/kforeman/status/1331035362676785152
Ah, I guess unsurprisingly the twitter thread is light on details. I saw "perceptual hash" which I usually interpret to mean some kind of feature-based semantic hash that is not as sensitive to small edits. Even if it isn't currently used, the door is open for it to be implemented in the future.
A little off topic, but I got a UHK with the trackpoint module. It's been amazing.

UHK also has a mouse layer if you don't want the module.

A longer night means a longer time for temperature to decline. The longer day brings the temperature back up. But chemical reaction rates go exponentially with temperature. So, a lengthening night includes a growing period of negligible reaction rates, in species and processes optimized for daytime temperatures.

The opposite effect is expected during the daytime: as temperature increases, reaction rates go up exponentially until they saturate according to the limiting resource. This could still mean producing much more oxygen in the daytime than can be consumed during the period of torpor at night.

I share my experience and my point of view. Nothing more, nothing less. And the most important point is not technical.
The most important point is personal habits. To overcome smartphone addiction. We put our lives, thoughts and photos on closed technology and have false expectations that someone will care for our security or wellbeing.

> The excess death statistics would like to have a word with you,

I think you're misunderstanding the conversation. The thread is talking about the risk _to vaccinated people_. What excess death statistics are you thinking of that show a categorical increase in risk for those vaccinated?
I believe there is a large database of known child pornography.

Unless someone has been distributing photos of your kids as child porn (which would probably be good to know) it's unlikely any of your photos will match the hashes of the photos in that database.

I'm not sure that's how it works, but that's what I've gathered from the other comments on this post.

Well this really debunks my common phrase “Apple is a Privacy company, not a Security company”

I can’t say I’m surprised they are implementing this (if true), under the radar. I can’t imagine a correct way or platform for Apple to share this rollout publicly. I’m sure nothing will come of this, press will ignore the story, and we all go back to our iPhones
No one is going to choose this over an Altra server. If you need a server, you get a server, you don't go for a hacked together RPi solution.

For the other group -- I'm in that group. I have half a dozen RPis hooked together with various bits of PoE and duct tape. Most of them are doing something, but aren't very mission critical (unless you count streaming music around my house as mission critical!).

As much as I like the RPi for various projects, I don't think I could rationalize using something like this for work.

I'd like to have the networking built in, but realistically, I suspect it would be an easier sell to have a passthru backplane where you still don't have the physical RJ45 ports on the blade, but on the backplane. But, you don't provide any switching on the backplane... it would be a 1:1 blade:port setup on the chassis. You could always add a switching backplane if you needed. For me, the backplane idea is primarily about power. The PoE numbers suggested in the power don't scream efficiency.

Really, the chassis is still going to need it's own power supply anyway (for fans), so why not just expand that out to supply the RPis from one power supply?
No, the title is misleading. "Longer" means "lengthening". Days were much shorter early on than today, and gradually got longer. But days getting longer would be expected to have an effect on chemical balances.
Is that really a Catch-22?

I think you are talking about what used to be called "multi account containers"? That's obviously not viable unless you are a "power user", imagine for example a non-tech-savvy person having to enter all of the domains that Google uses, there are dozens of them as you can see here https://github.com/containers-everywhere/contain-google/blob...

Or maybe Firefox containers have changed now? I haven't used FF in a couple of years, how does it work now?

> "Excess death" is a pragmatic term, not a normative term

Fully aware of that. The reason I invoked them is to make the pragmatic point that those statistics alone and the correlated rise with covid should tell an analyst that risks associated with the virus aren't the same as "every other year they've been alive." That's a descriptive observation.

Of course, it also invites a normative judgment...

> If we're being anal about it, it is not entirely true.

It's essentially true, and this is important. There have been genuinely compulsory vaccinations in modern free societies... and these compulsions turned out not to be slippery slopes into totalitarian oppression, but the corner case that you'd expect from societies that, as you say, realize this isn't about "absolute safety nor absolute freedom," that both risks and rights can be qualified (and in fact, for rights to be meaningful at all, they must be qualified, since there are always cases where a right reaches a point of tension with another right).

And NY isn't even talking about genuine compulsory vaccination, it's proposing vaccination as a condition of participating in things that people can opt out of. It's not even as compulsory as a fine or paying your taxes or any number of other carrots/sticks that states regularly use to "push conclusions into people" because if you're going to have a society, you're going to blow past the limits of voluntarism at some point, as lovely as it is to try and maximize it within those limits.

> People have a right to keep the functional and structural integrity of their bodies

Yes, I anticipated that and you can see it in my comment where I refer to bodily autonomy. It's a good place to start, but like every other right it isn't unqualified.

No, building software for iOS is possible on other platforms although this is against the terms of the Apple developer agreement.
That is a drastic oversimplification of the case. What happened in 2008 was a culmination of a long process that started long before then. I would argue that the starting point was the 1989 essay "The embarrassing 2nd Amendment" [1] by Sanford Levinson, who is not exactly known for his conservative views otherwise.

In general, as with every other Supreme Court case, I would recommend going to the primary source and reading the majority opinion and dissents [2], since they go over the various arguments in meticulous detail, and judge for yourself.

Said it twice before: differently complex. There are plenty of potential “solutions” to the specific scenario you’re describing, but my original comment was more “generally consider X instead of Y so you don’t have to care about Z” rather than “use X in this specific way and it will simply solve every problem with Y”.
Oh, I kinda skimmed the "Hacking is not cool" bit. I sorta read the first bit of it as avoiding idolizing offensive research but they're actually saying that... you shouldn't learn to hack... at all.

Dumb.
In the blog post, a non-profit organisation bankrolled by ads company A, criticizes ad targeting practices of ads company B, which is a competitor of ads company A.

Imagine if Ford bankrolled a consumer association which then proceeded to publicly criticize aspects of General Motors cars, while at the same time wanting to appear super partes. Wouldn't people be allowed to criticise that?

I think the key is that chemical reaction rates vary exponentially with temperature. As temperature increases, reaction rates increase up to hard resource limits. But there is no limit on how slow reaction rates may get as temperature falls, and a slow-enough rate is effectively zero. Thus, an increasing fraction of the night has, effectively, no activity at all.
I have always been amazed at the number of brick buildings that exist and think about the fact that every single brick you have ever seen was manipulated and touched by a human hand.

TRILLIONS of bricks through the ages.

I'm equally surprised that I have (not that I recall) seen a brick building being laid IRL.

Are battery charging times fast enough to support this? I thought we're still at the "5 minutes flight = a couple of hours charging" stage, but I haven't used anything more advanced than one of those miniature toy quadcopters so I'm not sure how more serious drones (DJI etc.) handle it.

I'm not sure that would give an accurate answer.

If you were to ask the other big demographic, they'll tend to come up with all kinds of reasons such as "the vaccine is new and hasn't been tested enough" and the like. But at the end of the day, they are biased against it because others in their peer group are against it (or because they feel pressured by "the other side"). This is obvious due to the strong correlation to political leanings.

But they try to intellectualize it to be some other reason. They may not be lying, but they may not understand why they had a tendency to be averse to vaccination.

Trump and the GOP have heavily pushed covid into the political sphere. The right wing has worked relentlessly to frame the pandemic in the most political frame possible.

To try to pull some kind of 'well its really all sides' or 'all politicians <whatever>' that is doing a disservice to the truth of history.

There's a major difference between 'not wanting to cause a panic' and the total lies and abdication that characterize the early messages out of the Trump admin - think circa Feb/March 2020.
I don't agree with some (most?) of the parent posters comments in this threa.

But I feel there's a valid argument to be made that if your adversary is the sort of people who'd be feeding Apple image hashes to find people, you're probably be wise to carry a regular phone on which you do boring norm-core sorts of things.

A phone you use to take pictures of cats and pay your rent using banking apps and call your parents - while not using it to communicate with your dealer or your anarchist collective or your friendly investigative journalist.
I think if the vaccines offered sterilizing immunity, you'd have a much stronger argument. As it is, vaccinated are able to transmit the disease, also putting immunocompromised at risk.
That the vaccines appear to lack durable protection is a problem as well IMO. What are the compound impacts of the vaccines if booster shots are required on an annual basis?
Why does the robot have to handle all the "edge cases"???

That seems really stupid to think that the robot must be able to build the whole thing or it's useless.

Just have robots put up large, long, straight walls. Have a separate one for curves, or a special one that only handles corners etc...

Or have a robot that just preps the brick with correct amount mortar and hands the brick to the human for placement, maybe there is an aligning contraption (doesn't have to be a robot)...
The post I was replying to included links to studies, in which grey matter was assessed in people who play too many video games, don't sleep enough, etc. I was merely making the point that evidence of gray matter reduction in other studies, isn't reason alone to write off the one I linked. We should probably take them all seriously (assuming sound practices).

>What we are discussing here is you mandating that all drivers of cars gets to bed by 10PM and have a good sleep, on the chance that lack of sleep leads to bad driving which leads to higher chances of accidents, including to those who slept well last night, yet were involved in the accident

Not even close to the reality of the situation, but you wouldn't be the first to take a very hyperbolic approach to it.

Moving to another state in America is something poor people do all the time. Regardless, does a modest cost in a small minority justify putting 9 elites in DC in charge of the moral law of the whole country?

The right of people to govern themselves is important even if we disagree with how they do it. Note the EU Human Rights Court came to the exact opposite conclusion a year after Obergefell, finding no right to marriage for same sexual couples under the EU convention on human rights.

If you look at constitutional law in western Europe, no country has a court that intrudes as much into social issues as the US Supreme Court.

Most of it seems fine and pretty trivial (to the point of not really seeming worth writing). Like yeah, default deny is going to be safer than default permit, generally. Enumerating badness is kind of dumb, though it's worth noting that AV "works" for at on of people.

"Penetrate and Patch" starts to get a little less straightforward. It's a naive view of pentesting, but given that view it's fine to say it's dumb, and lots of people do naive pentests.

There was another but we're still grappling with it. Nuclear weapons, and modern weaponry, the needs of real-time modern war, have transferred powers to the Executive that did not exist before in practice. It was never intended, after all, for the President to, semi-literally, have a button to press that ends the world. It arose dynamically out of a changing response to the needs of the early cold war, and has become effectively part of the unwritten constitution, without it ever really being explicitly considered how it should fit into the puzzle.
