There is literally no logic to what they are doing. the CP criminals will just work around it and the other billion or so of us are stuck with Apple acting like they're the police, and waiting for the government to send them the next "CSAM" database of political dissent hashes or pretty soon just scanning for anything that governments don't like on the device that YOU OWN. This is a joke, a very dangerous one. This will do nothing but put a slight dent in CP arrests and another huge body blow to democracy.
I wonder how much it would cost if SoftBank wasn't footing the bill haha.

I find it hilarious that you state no one is there even at these prices. I imagine an investor reading that.

His scribbling on the slide reminds me of the gnomes' plan for making major $$$ from collecting underpants on South Park. How was he going to get to those numbers?
My understanding is that it's not the company they're trying to keep alive as much as preventing the devastating effects its closing would have on commercial real estate.
There was no CCP pressure. Only a Chinese Phd student in Canada who forwarded the supposedly racist meme to the advisor.
The article talks about, but seems to conflate, what I see as two different problems. One problem is that retail outlets destroy and throw out unsold inventory; the other is that individuals throw out unwanted, post-used goods. The latter of these problems seems like it could be much more manageable, but if we lump it together with the former, we risk minimizing some solutions.

I've gotten the lion's share of my furniture either from individuals or from Craigslist. Right now, I'm sitting in my kitchen eating lunch, on chairs that I did buy new, and looking around: my "decor" are plants, empty espresso roast cans, mason jars salvaged from sauces, and empty craft beer cans from various local breweries (we're lucky to have three or four per town, and they all have super-creative labels). This is after just getting home in a used luxury car, earlier today having woken up to a 70s Realistic clock radio, typing this post on an off-lease (but rock solid) ThinkPad, and so on.

The picture I'm trying to paint there will differ depending on your own attitudes towards the "waste" stream. Most people around me have commented positively on it - the furniture is "nice", from old-money brownstones in downtown; the beer can collection is a great conversation starter. But of course, there are still some (and luckily, seemingly, a minority) who can only see it as trash, a sign that I've "opted out" of basic economics, or at worst, that I just don't care enough about my appearance.
Cant wait for all of those to arrive. We have a sort of stagnation in the past 4-5 years and only only just started moving again. Network, Storage and Compute.

For consumer I really hope we will get 5GBASE-T. Even if it is just one port on the Router would be better than 1Gbps port.

I did a little research on this for a job last year and internet access/mobile phone ownership numbers are far higher than I expected. Mobile payments are already a very common form of transaction in Africa. The Gates Foundation mentioned that one of the big issues with their current infrastructure is middle-men fees when talking about remittances between African countries through to mobile credit, so crypto is actually a strong candidate to improve that area too.

Microwave transmission of power hits 70 or 80% efficiency http://large.stanford.edu/courses/2011/ph240/shu2/

What you're seeing with phones isn't microwave, but inductance, very different technology with very different benefits/drawbacks.
Fair point. My grudge is toward Masayoshi Son. Edited accordingly.
I mean, I feel this particular example is really more of standard library design wart that occurs with any kind of syntactic overloading mechanism, e.g. Haskell has the exact same problem as C++ does here even though the overloading mechanism is rather different (Eq is defined for Float and there is no notion of a PartialEq in the standard library, even though there really should be), and there are numerous more advanced examples of that (every few years someone writes a fun library that violates the Monad laws, for instance). The fundamental question is: does an instance of an overloading mechanism respect the "properties" you expect of it, algebraic ones or not? Your program will often behave weirdly if the answer is "no" but the extent of the weirdness permissible is a spectrum. Basically no languages actually allow you to validate those semantics; it's expected that the "validity" of those instances is proven or known a priori, and bad ones don't exist.

IMO, the bigger problem with this particular example is just that the numeric and algebraic hierarchies in most languages are littered with various edge cases just like this one, and that makes it an easy and convenient nitpick to point out. But I think the parent comment is largely correct in that the goal of a concept (or trait, or typeclass) is roughly to reflect a property or action of some object or type or what have you, even if C++ wasn't as originally as forward thinking as other languages today are with invariant safety.

Cannabis, psilocybin, and LSD have been used recreationally for decades with death rates approaching zero and there have been 0 cases of overdose. I was under the impression that these drugs were made illegal because their use promotes an anti capitalism mindset (see Timothy Leary being called the most dangerous man because of his research on LSD) and the medical industrial complex isnt able to extract as much money from them. I’ve never heard that opioids where once known to be non-addictive. Weren’t the Opium Wars started because China wanted Britain to stop selling them addictive opium?

It’s fair to be skeptical, but the data is not there. Cannabis, MDMA, and ketamine all have high potential for addiction and the latter two potential for abuse but it is possible to find Ketamine clinics for safe administration. I’m not familiar if there is public MDMA treatment available.
I am the opposite. Sugar or cream in my coffee ruins the coffee for me.

That's fair, but I have doubts about whether we can emulate anything significant from such vastly different societies. Hope I'm wrong.
Right, because one bug is evidence that the entire body of work is inferior. As we all know, Linux never has any bugs
What is your car? It doesn't actually get 50mpg unless its a hybrid or you only drive it long distances on a freeway. If its a hybrid, it has all the environmental impact of having two complete power systems, the negative effects of a battery etc. If its not a hybrid, then you aren't getting 50mpg around town.

An Obsession with Secrets
BTW, the Seth Godin article I referred to was [Mode switching | Seth's Blog Godin](https://seths.blog/2021/01/mode-switching/). David Sparks has a similar concept, "contextual computing". [Linking and Contextual Computing — MacSparky](https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2020/12/linking-and-contextua...)

The background for Hook's is cognitive science / education tech R&D I and my co-founders had been doing 2001 (2003, 2006)- 2009 at SFU called gStudy and nStudy (www.sfu.ca/~lpb/tr/2009-Luc_P_Beaudoin-Phil_Winne-nStudy.pdf). We had been designing and implementing personal learning environment for Phil Winne's Learning Kit project at Simon Fraser University (SFU). The core concept I contributed from the beginning of my design was "linking anything to anything" within the system and web (cf. Ted Nelson and Douglas Englebart). We were implementing / incorporating tools in the PLE (note-taking, mind maps, web browser, flashcards, etc.) My Tundra-related insight that led to Hook was that instead of re-inventing the wheel (note-taking, mind maps, etc.) in a big PLE, I could allow users to use best of breed apps and simply connect all their resources with a nimble piece of software. So with Hook, users can use whatever software they like (e.g., for Note taking Bear, Obsidian, BBEdit, Apple Notes, whatever). Hook would serve the links, connect the items, and allow users to navigate in a popup window they invoke within the context of their favorite apps.

Last year I published a chapter , [Manifesto for Ubiquitous Linking](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346734020_A_Manifes...), in the Future of Text book, to support the ideal of all apps being linkable. I guess I should post separately about that as we are looking for co-signatories (many are joining) for a variant of that document. People can email support@cogsciapps.com if they are interested in it.

We've found many Mac developers were happy to add a linking API to their apps. E.g., in the latest release I mentioned, Flexibits added an API for its Fantastical; Merlin Wizards is adding one for its Merlin Project (in Sept), and Ngoc Luu added one for GoodLinks.

If an app does not have an API, Hook tries to use UI scripting to get the link. That's how it works with Slack and Notion. We've requested that Notion and Slack provide a client side API to make their apps "truly linkable" more robust. If anyone wants that, they might want to do the same.

We've defined "linkability" here: https://hookproductivity.com/help/integration/data-linkabili...
I think that is worthy of its own post here on Hacker News if anyone wanted to share the link.

(Hook innovated in so many ways ( https://hookproductivity.com/help/general/features ) that I had expected it would be discussed on Hacker News out of the gate in 2019; but I didn't want to be the one to mention it of course. My OP was my first one here. )
I was also a bit surprised at the language. I agree that Newman is indeed a "snake-oil salesman", but I don't think that that specific language is appropriate for a news organization.

I recall reading their mission statement a few years ago and getting the impression that they were trying to be impartial and fact-based. However, all of the articles that I've read from them recently (~6 over the past year) have been similarly emotionally charged. Perhaps their vision has changed?
Native comp was merged to the mainline a few months ago. It's behind a config flag `--with-native-compilation`. There is not yet an official release that includes it, but it's fairly common for people to run Emacs built from the mainline source.
I don't think us have thought criminal scanning on our devices is going to fix any of that. Cops don't need to be in my phone unless they have reason to suspect me and have a warrant to search it. Otherwise this is just a corporate proxy for the cops in warrant-less searches of what we're doing day to day on our own devices.
You are correct: the vapour barrier goes on the inside, closest to the warm room. This prevents the moist air in the room from condensing within the insulation, accumulating water and causing rot and mold.

My late father-in-law, who worked in construction, says they found out the hard way in the 1940's when fiberglass insulation was first installed, without vapour barrier. Within a few years, entire walls would just collapse, the studs and framing having rotted like cheese.

So that’s 1% of the US military budget. Double it and it seems affordable? What is the return on aircraft carriers 8-11, when the next most powerful nation has 1.
What do you need for basic human life support? Light, oxygen generation/CO2 removal, water, and electricity for vehicles and work appliances.

Oxygen and water can be stored in tanks sufficient enough to ride out the 14 days dark cycle, LED lighting is extremely efficient (especially if everything is under 9m of moon soil, so no light can escape useless to space), the only thing that may be a problem is CO2 removal - no idea how much energy that uses.
"Article 35. Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration."

"Article 36. Citizens of the People's Republic of China enjoy freedom of religious belief..."

"Article 37. The freedom of person of citizens of the People's Republic of China is inviolable..."

"Article 49. Marriage, the family, and mother and child are protected by the state..."

Just meaningless words on a page. To be completely fair, the text does imply that the above isn't worth a wooden nickel in practice:

"Article 51. The exercise by citizens of the People's Republic of China of their freedoms and rights may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society and of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens."

The European Convention on Human Rights has a similar clause (which you quoted) that allows the state to eliminate one's rights "for the protection of health or morals". It seems that "human rights" are mainly there to make the state seem legitimate. They "protect" humans against the state for exactly as long as the state allows.
Why should I pay for something I can do with open source libraries? (Maybe there is a reason, but this advertorial hasn't managed to convince me, and the author hasn't even provided an example. I'm not sure why it's being upvoted.)
My personal experience has been that I need a referral from my primary physician before I can get physical therapy covered under my insurance. So far, when I express to my physician my interest in PT they are happy to provide the referral.

That said, the idea that PT may be more effective than medication or surgery is kind of new to me. People may need to be informed that PT is a possible solution for a some pain, especially those a physician may find difficult to diagnose.

I saw a blog calculate that regolith He3 was so sparse that even with a reactor to use it in, one would make more energy from purifying the metals, coil-gunning the purified ingots just past the L1 point so they would fall to Earth, and setting fire to the ingots. Or, entirely separately, by pointing the ingots at electromagnets and collecting the energy from the induced currents from electromagnetic braking.

No, they say it's about taxes but there's much more in it. The bill appears to require everyone in crypto (exchanges, miners, stakers, maybe even software developers) to do KYC on every transaction. This either requires massive technical changes or more likely all those entities would leave the US.
The way I see it, this is the only possible purpose this system could have. With the press after this announcement, almost every single person in posession of those materials knows it's not safe to store them on an iPhone.

Moses for all his bravado in freeing the jews, made up the one true god so that he and his family could monopolize access to the MLM scheme called religion.

Hindus should completely abandon the words G-d and religion to describe their beliefs. Hindus worship spirits of fallen ancestors and nature spirits. Hindus follow "the right path".

How to avoid machine learning pitfalls: a guide for academic researchers
The lockdowns have little bearing on severity of the ongoing pandemic. The lockdowns ended, but did you change your lifestyle? I don't think it's fair to say we're in a 'sociable' era once more unless you (or we) decide to engage in that level of risk (in my opinion, of course).
The congestion charge was meant to reduce congestion. Seeing giant teslas sail through without paying was not the intention of the zero emission exemption. Planners expected electric minis, not electric supercars.
That's the entire premise of classic Transformers.
I've also seen a rise in services that sell end-of-day-but-still-good leftovers from restaurants and cafes (bagels, taco meat, rice balls, etc) as cheap 'mystery bag' bundles direct to consumer.
They had a second chance in court, and blew that one too.
What they are making available is sufficient to 'cheat' the system in the sense that if you have an image you are concerned might match in some database you can modify it until the 'perceptual hash', which you can compute on your own, changes. The novel changed image is then unlikely to be a match in the database.

You don't have to have a copy of the database to be fairly confident that your modifications have made a target image non-matching. You would have to have the database in order to gather evidence that the matching was beginning to be used for unlawful, rights violating purposes, such as collecting targets for genocide.

I think it's a safe assumption that this sort of system is only effective against idiots-- which isn't an argument against it: lots of effective anti-crime measures mostly work against idiots. Adding functionality which destroys accountability which at most improves the system against non-targets, however, doesn't seem like an acceptable trade-off.

1. Yeah, there’s not much that the app itself can do about this. My intention is to make it dramatically easy to access the abstract so even if you’re the slightest bit interested in the title you’ll go check it out (on desktop you just have to hover over the abstract link to see it pop up).

2. This navigation + search issue is almost surely a bug. Not sure if I ever tested navigating ahead and doing a search, like you did.

3. Do you remember whether you saw it only on older papers (basically when navigated into further pages within some category)? Long story short, many of the older abstracts are littered with redundant \n characters because of a botched up Postgres data export + imports I did sometime back. Papers in the last week or so should be fine.

Sorry to burst your bubble but U.S. drug policy is not as progressive as you might think. Cannabis is still illegal under federal law. And right now America is petitioning the WHO for a GLOBAL ban on KRATOM, a herb which has been used in Asia for hundreds of years with no recorded deaths. It has been in use in Europe and America for a couple of decades and still there are no deaths recorded from pure Kratom use. Kratom can be used to treat or replace alcohol, cocaine and opiate addiction. It is a herb harvested from the leaves of a tree related to the coffee plant and has incredible pain relieving properties, as well as being a mild stimulant and mood regulator. For more info see this recent study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6612999/
