> us (the community) having access to more information and more tools at our disposal to analyze this information is a far better outcome than governments locking it away.

> The more information we have access to, the more difficult it is for authoritarian governments to run propaganda against us.

I am definitely not going to defend the government monopoly on information, but people having access to information does not mean them coming to the rational conclusions either, as evident with the information we have available today more than ever and the polarized confusion accompanies almost everything that matters to us.

People rarely put in the hours of self-study to do a principled analysis and come to their own conclusions. Open source or not, people will recycle other people's pre-made conclusions with much simpler heuristics. That's not a problem per se, the problem is who gets to make those conclusions and make most people hear about them.

Just like research papers are cherry-picked to make one's biased point, this type of "open-source" branding will lend itself readily to narrative laundering, by (ostensibly) non-governmental interest groups. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Depends who has the resources to make and distribute those narratives. Are those going to be the people most interested in neutral reality most of the time? Unlikely. That's why we're reading about it on The Economist (or <insert-your-favorite-big-brand-information-resource>). That's why DC is choke-full of "think" tanks.

As information warfare gets complicated, it was expected to see innovations on narrative branding, e.g. fact-checking, fake-news, open-source-intelligence. None of these change the problems with the machinery of our collective intelligence; in fact they pose a Denial-of-Service threat to our individual sense-making capacity, and we either throw up our hands in nihilism or clutch on a heavily dichotomized version of reality because the discordance between narratives are growing larger and the discomfort of uncertainty is just too painful.
Not just housing but even more so commercial and industrial facilities where property taxes give great incentive for scorched-earth demolition in response to only nominal downturns in occupancy or utilization.

Always with less than one-year deadlines before reassessment since these are recurring taxes, one of their most destructive features.

Regardless of how many nearby citizens are homeless, jobless, and/or capable of operating a prosperous small cannabis farm if they could freely grow & sell their fresh product at the local farmers' market with no different regulation or taxes than the other crops.
The video does side on over-simplification and that is worse for WeWork since they would have the lease obligations and no assets they could liquidate on a downturn. (Like, for example, a pandemic)

No, and thank you for the suggestion. I've never heard of it, but I had more than half of the symptoms listed on the Mayo clinic website. It exactly describes my experience and also the words of my many baffled practitioners. It was a response completely out of line to any possible injury. Pure agony. Doesn't look like there are cut and dry answers, but I'll look into it further. Thanks again.
Reminds me of Australia, the first European explorers going across the mountains that the line the coast came across vast networks of trenched eel traps branching off from various waterways made by an indigenous community and similarly abandoned. Later investigative work show it dated to ~6600-8000yrs ago:

> He found extensive fish-trapping systems, with hundreds of metres of excavated channels and dozens of basalt block dam walls, the volume of which he estimated at "many hundreds of tonnes".

Isn't WeWork uniquely positioned to accommodate employers who are looking for flexible post-COVID office setups?

As more workers go remote, some will still want a physical office to work out of. That's something WeWork should excel at.

Search Warrant Reveals Apple Scanning Emails for Child Abuse Images (2020)
No, iMessages are stored on the device until saved to iCloud. However, iMessages may be backed up to iCloud, if enabled.

The difference is photos saved are catalogued, while message photos are kept in their threads.

Will Apple scan photos saved via iMessage backup?
I thought it was clear, "I am self-sufficient" means I make my own stuff and don't depend on others. Not sure if it means something else to others though.

Watch "Self Sufficient Me" on YouTube. Amazing channel doing exactly what I mean.
The problem is that if you want one aircraft carrier on active deployment, you really need three physical carriers. One on patrol, one about to go on/off patrol, and another in maintenance. So really 11 carriers lets you actively patrol 3, maybe 4 zones. And again, that's just one carrier in that area, if you can to concentrate resources you might get a few more there, but then you're delaying maintenance/training. If anything the US needs more carriers as recent years have taught the navy.

Perceptual hashing was invented by the Chinese: four-corner code character lookup, that lumps together characters with similar features.
Don't bogart it!
I honestly don't understand why it should be "Simple as that"? If you have the phone rooted, as long as you don't grant root to any application, why should it be less secure than if you hadn't rooted it?
(assumed everything else the same, specifically the rom supporting verified boot with root)
Then, by granting root permissions to apps, of course the attack surface gets larger, but this is a thing you control yourself.

Your note was always understood. Of course not rooting doesn't imply using the stock firmware. It however implies that you are submitting to a different master. Who may be different, and maybe a bit more lenient than Google/Samsung/whoever, but that other master will still enforce any dumb app's will against you.
Um, OP was talking about natural gas, not this gas stuff that's used in automobiles, but your point still stands.

I've bought edibles and weed in Canada, mainly in Toronto. It used to be a lot stricter but now a lot less people check my ID or whatever. Overall the process feels more informal than before and less go through all these checks etc. Could be I look a bit older although I was able to buy weed at different places when I was much younger without showing my ID either back when it was stricter.

Also I've stopped calling them dispensaries because the places that sell weed have diversified, specialized or started marketing themselves with different products that it isn't just a buy weed location anymore so it's hard to put them in one category.
Isn't google trends the wrong tool to use for this, since it only represents search traffic? If you want to compare usages in written works you'd need to use ngram viewer or something.
In california. I only do edibles. For $1.50 (including tax) I get 5mg so I either spend 1.50 or 3.00 when getting high on a night. Its within walking distance of my house. They do check my ID - but seems easier than dealing with a person I have to meet on a random corner. And if you were a woman or old person - that option would seem even less safe.

My yearly budget for pot if probably about $100-150 which seems remarkable low compared to my food or alcohol budget.
Mass Psychosis – How an entire population becomes mentally ill[video]
In a lot of these APL discussions I see an obsession with terse implementations of simple standard library-type functionality. Who on Earth has to literally write a loop in the middle of their source code to find the max of a bunch of numbers? I would just call the appropriate standard library function, especially in languages like Python that have excellent general-purpose data structures and standard libraries for them.
If we're supposed to believe voter ID laws are racist, then requiring ID to shop, work, and engage in public is tantamount to genocide.

I've always found the, uh, "IP-flexible" environment of Shenzhen to be a fascinating insight into what a fully open source world would look like. From what I've seen (please correct me if I'm wrong!) no energy is wasted on licensing or who you should ask for permission, because what are they gonna do to you? And little effort is wasted on locking things down, because they'll just crack it anyway. If you can make something you just do it, and then you ship it and hopefully make some money before someone copies it. And the rate of progress is incredible! Mostly because of the huge amount of hard work done by the people working in in the industry here, but also because there's less time wasted on these regulatory questions.
> something along the lines of labor exploitation

That's a gentle way of putting it, but essentially correct.
Do you want to approach this systematically, or do you want to string together a series of continually evasive comments? The sentence you've just quoted comes from your second link, not your first, which is what marwis was addressing, which itself means your "reply" here can in no way be construed as actually responding to his or her point.

Either source is fair play, of course, but it would be a waste of time for anyone to engage, as an attempt to prosecute any of your claims, without some kind of indicator that you're not just going to abandon the pretext for the current line of inquiry at any given moment and try to hop to another branch.

Every time I run into someone trying this trick, it reminds me of a Scott Aaronson post about people who are either incapable or unwilling to subject their "side" of an issue to logical deduction:

> What fascinated me was that, with every single issue we discussed, we went around in a similar circle — and Kurt didn’t seem to see any problem with this, just so long as the number of 2SAT clauses that he had to resolve to get a contradiction was large enough. [...] Inspired by conversations with Kurt and others, I hereby wish to propose a different theory of fundamentalist psychology. My theory is this: fundamentalists use a system of logical inference wherein you only have to apply the inference rules two or three times before you stop. (The exact number of inferences can vary, depending on how much you like the conclusion.)

Chicken and egg.

Does the money flow to that which is pleasurable, or does the pleasurable get created to attract the money?

Ask people which of these two is not possible.
That was sloppy of me. Thank you for the correction. What I meant was that RMS advocates for “free as in [user] freedom,” whereas others wanted a word that just meant “free as in beer” unencumbered by all the other freedom-maintaining restrictions. Peterson offered “open source” and Eric Raymond ran with it.
I wrote an NES game as my senior project for college. It was a singular experience as the vast majority of my development experience had been web technologies.

I had the advantage of full-featured emulators, breakpoints, examining the code as it was running, and a very searchable community online. I have sometimes pondered on the challenges of writing 6502 assembly without any of these things. It’s really interesting to see some of what that was.
It’s a joke. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formal_verification
Services are bad and libraries are good. (Extra proof: the latter can be turned into the former if you really want, but not vice versa).

Cryptocurrency doesn't factor into any of this.
It's fucking nuts, 40, looking 50, got IDs buying a pack of beers in Walgreens I think, just stopping two night usa back to Europe. She wasn't happy that she couldn't scan the EU driving license but eventually she relented, same next night, I was perplexed, do they not enpower their workers? Uk is over 18, but ask for id if you have any doubt less than 21, 3yr margin, common sense
I would assume yes, that this would cover iMessage backups since it is uploaded to their system.
Hydro has lots of downsides that solar and wind don't. See e.g. California drought.
> The requirement is going to fail sooner or later and what then?

First of all it'll get picked up by the people who set up the serial number printer. They don't just set it to a random number - the factory will have a procedure to make sure the number is set right.

Then it'll get picked up by the end-of-line testing, as test reports are filed by serial number.

Then it'll get picked up when the first part comes off the production line and gets checked by the factory's most conscientious testers and engineers.

Then it'll get picked up at goods inbound, when they count the items and check them in, and find the system says some of them are used, or there's a discrepancy in the number of items.

Then it'll get picked up at acceptance testing, when they find the shipment's test records aren't in order.

Then it'll get picked up by accounts payable, when the manufacturer bills for parts they've already been paid for.

Then depending on the numbers and costs involved, you either send the bad units back for relabelling or trash them, in either case at the manufacturer's expense.
Let's coerce them into spending that money, in fact what do old people need that much for, let's seize it for science
People didn't suddenly forget centuries of experience that narcotics were addictive. They thought that making them time release and long lasting they could manage the addiction. Pharmacies did downplay the cleverness of people when they want to get high. People found they could crush the pills and snort them for a quick rush. Those who weren't addiction prone found they could sell their pills for $80 a pill. It was off to the races after that.

The real crime here wasn't trying to help those in chronic pain with a manageable addiction, it was the incredibly long time it took for pharma companies and govt regulators to do anything about the crisis, even as some pharmacies in Florida and West Virginia were selling millions of pills, far more than their local communities would warrant. The suspicion is that a lot of money was being made, so why rush to intervene.
Because there is no possibility of sending windows to Mars for a hypothetical first base there. It would be far too expensive, and given the already extreme difficulty of such a mission, it would be a huge luxury.
I would recommend looking at how hashing of images works (there are special algorithm and concepts for it). Good reference e.g. https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/imagehash#references
>I hope we can all agree that over-consumption is not good and that it could be a problem if multi-billion dollar companies are stuck in a situation where they need to greatly increase the public’s consumption of weed to become profitable.

First, this is semantics, "over-comsumption" is bad no matter the substance, but who is able to define it generally?
But this is an experiemnt I would love to see, big companies pushing weed the same way then, say, the tobacco or alcohol industry before them.
I have a hunch from all the information I have, it would be not nearly as problematic as the former, possibly even have generally a more positive impact on society.
Ah yes. Defects relating to clothing. Such as "wearing clothing" and "not being naked".
Functions are re-entrant unless they refer to and modify state outside themselves. If you mean recursive calls, that happens rarely in frameworks which deal with a very 'flat' processing pipeline.
With the rise of AI newswriters we might be looking at a machine generated piece of "information" without even realizing it.

Rooting and installing a custom ROM are two independent things, you don't need one to have the other.

Rooted devices can use the official Play Store yes, though most people use Aurora Store to access the Play Store because they tend to remove Google Play Services from their phones as well.
Yeah, I agree, but I don't see why they are in competition and not complement an ecosystem.
I hate open office plans. I dislike being crowded in an office. I do prefer being alone in an office space though, or in a coworking space that has an office with a door.

I just work better if I go to "work place" work and then come home. Yes, I could get a new living place with an extra room for an office, but at that point I'm subsidizing my employer quite a lot.
No, it's meant to remove the most polluting vehicles from the London area, which it will succeed in doing. Remove the pollution and the health benefits are soon realised. Hopefully by the 2030s people will breathe a bit easier.
My rotator cuff was also on the list of problems. We used the bands, but also a squash ball and rolled out the 4 muscles. Lie down on it with your arm pointing upward for the rear one. On your side under your arm pit for lower, between your pec and shoulder for the front and think of a bull with the ball between your shoulder and the wall.

It is one of my favourites because shoulder pain is so annoying to reach, and all it took was a simple ball. Lots of sites on the Internet have better detail on the steps, but releasing tight muscles can work wonders.

The hardware was so limited and expensive that rather trickery paid off.

For instance, on Sinclair Spectrum the memory refresh and the keyboard matrix scanning were intimately coupled; tape I/O and screen border color circuits were also somehow coupled, which was easy to see with every tape operation.
> was to change the scroll registers and I think the character look up location at the moment the screen refresh cycle reached the appropriate point on the display. These registers would then need to be reset during the vertical blanking interval. So all in all either 100 or 120 times a second depending on the TV system.

That's a cool way to do it on the NES. While the NES did not have a raster interrupt, requiring such tricks (though you mentioned the later cartridges with the extra chip that added one), the Game Boy did have a raster interrupt, and the SNES essentially went all in on it. Switching the mode mid-frame became a very common method then.

By the way, PAL/NTSC is 50/60Hz, but a frame consists of two fields (odd/even lines), so 25 or 30 frames per second for PAL/NTSC respectively. So I guess this means you probably did the trick 50/60 times per second? (Unless you used more than two configs per frame maybe.)
From my experience, there are huge differences between stores in terms of pricing and customer service. The industry is so new that just having your doors open is a license to print money, but it’ll start to standardize once banks are allowed to enter the field, permitting successful dispensary operations to scale storefronts. I just stopped at a dispensary in CA about and hour and half outside SF and picked up an ounce for $100, which is a better deal than I ever got from a dealer.
Same actually. But this was 25+ years ago. Oddly think we got IDs for the sex museum though and was it beers in McDonald's at lunch, there some oddities that trip.
While true, a free and open web is generally desirable, and we'd like to keep the barriers of entry for federation to a minimum. If someone was ready to start mycool.forum, but doesn't have $500/yr to start a website, they must now wade through a garbage pile of "minimum $2,000 bid" squatted domains, weird TLDs that could declare your domain premium and charge $400,000/yr at any time, maybe even if the only thing "premium" about the name is that your website got popular, or buy a domain like themycoolforum50.com.

This might be only one managable issue, but these things add up, and the more they add up, the more facebook becomes the only website people use.
And his father even has the gall to claim she needs a 5150 hold. He is a disgusting, greedy person.
To me it sounds like:

1. anything humans decide to do should be accepted because of invisible positive outcomes (who could have predicted Internet from oil combustion),

2. the moment negative outcomes become visible, let's wait until it becomes a problem, any attempts at prediction when it will become a problem are futile and fearmongering,

3. humans can solve any problem they encounter.

All three can be used to create an argument for solar/wind. Who knows what kind of positive stuff will solar/wind create (let's see), whatever happens (due to inherent volatility and energy storage problem of solar/wind) let's wait until it happens and then see, we are entirely capable of solving the issue.
Thank you for confirming the exact point I made.
Yeah, I think IP creates a local-maxima where it seems essential to have IP to have innovation. But, it’s not at all clear to me that it doesn’t simultaneously restrict innovation: all the locked down walled gardens, content silos and such make it significantly harder for people to recombine inventions in unforeseen ways.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted; for sure, one issue that I see skipped over is what we called “competence” — HIV is incompetent, whereas flu is competent: regardless of transmissivity (Re), you can ask how easily a virus infects. HIV rarely infects; flu infects quite well. It might be that COVID is supercompetent. That might explain the “breakthroughs” you’re reading about.
It does justify why the phone itself have to do it. Actually according to graphics from internal memo it's also unclear if the hashing is happening on every image on phone (even if it is not uploaded). https://9to5mac.com/2021/08/06/apple-internal-memo-icloud-ph...

Why put this system on the phone unless you want to expand it in the future? Cloud encryption with Apple being able to decrypt it could not be the reason. System can be also easily changed anytime from Apple to report on offline images.
This what they do in Barcelona, if I understand you correctly.
