Even if the percentages are exaggerated, it also depends on lifestyles. If you WFH and closest contact with people is that of grocery shopping, the 2% becomes closer to 0% because you aren't going to contract the virus.

But it's logical to calculate a risk percentage and then make a decision. Easy for the brain. But it simplifies reality down to a number, ignoring all those people that had adverse effects and took it on the chin in solidarity "for humanity". What did they get in return? It is a bit unethical.
They are mainly Federal lands and so it is mainly Federal policy and practice that would be to blame in the US for that aspect of the causes. But the most obvious international common denominator is hotter, drier, windier weather - although I would not be surprised if many countries have similar "modern" responses to forest fires.
That second link is a good one, thank you!

Yeah, I was aware of non-fallacious usage in Wikipedia, but people seem to ignore that. You are correct, though.
Long time Amazon Seller here.
It's against Amazon TOS to contact Amazon's customers outside the Amazon messaging system, and they are really heavy handed against sellers breaching this.

If you complain to Amazon that the seller is contacting you outside the Amazon messaging platform and harrassing you, then Amazon will close their seller account.

Alternatively you can threaten to report them to Amazon for this and they will go away.

I dont think you know too many creative people.

The rest have no hope really other than to claim their salaries justify whatever meaningless shit they are made to do.

Bingo. Campaigning is an industry.

All that money raised? Spent on more fundraising and advertising and consultants.

I'm unclear what all the defenders of Freedom Speeches™ think they're defending. The freedom to bury one's opponents under mountains of cash?

Any one legit concerned about speech would argue for less money, more fairness doctrine. For a start.
The idea that vaccines provide more antibodies that fight a wider variety of COVID can indeed suggest that vaccines create better immunity. The writer here makes a firm denial of this and then uses their denial to offer a fatalistic take on what is possible to show about vaccines with this paper. Of course, outside of this paper there are very simple studies that have been conducted which contradict the bias illustrated here.
Also, using an AR device in a business context means you probably don't have to deal with the downsides like limited battery life.
That's not called stability its called 'causality'. The body is a bio-chemical-mechanical machine. Changes over short periods of time are small enough to give a perception of noticeable normal. But small changes are happening nevertheless.

You get fat one more morsel of food, and one less body movement at a time. You lose weight the same way. One less morsel of food, and one more body movement at a time.
Latency and the ability to switch between the VM and the host. I have a cheap USB input switcher which I've owned for ages for this purpose.

IIUC unless you're running Looking Glass or some other alternative method, passing through each device individually locks them while the VM is running.
Incidentally, when I was looking for an animator for a short animated segment for an indie game trailer, it took many many months of searching.

There's a few companies that do it as part of a fully-fledged package to produce video (at hundreds to thousands of dollars per second) but surprisingly the same glut of people looking to break into the industry (like art, modeling, composing) are not very discoverable.
Sounds difficult. What is the work culture in the country of your friend? Are people expected to work many hours for a company? Does your friend have a family (wife + children) he needs to take care off? Does your friend have some major personal issues to deal with? Maybe your friend has problems working unsupervised on an unpaid project? Perhaps your friend is not really passionate about the idea of the project but does hope for profits in the future?

If some of the above are true, perhaps it’s understandable why your friend can’t find the time. But in that case perhaps it’s better to end the business relationship with your friend.

If I am very passionate about a side project, I can usually find the time to work on it. But I choose to work a maximum of 4 days a week for a client.

To be honest I feel it’s generally a bad idea to be in business with friends. Often friends might feel they can cut each other a bit more slack in a business relationship and this could cause a fallout of the friendship eventually.
> "contacted Amazon, who responded with "we'll deal with the issue and get back to you within 48 hours", which never happened"

Apparently, complaining to Amazon didn't solve the problem.
They do not provide e2e for iCloud photos (or iCloud backups, etc.) and did not specify that they were planning to.

They do not provide more privacy than the competition (in this regard at least), and yes, people can just disable iCloud services. That argument that "you can just not use it" is a pretty weak one for defending poor privacy practices. The same could be said for any website or server with poor privacy practices and given the prevalence of iCloud photos, this change affects lots of people.
If I were a parent and my child went missing, something much higher on my priority list than matching photos in some national database would be having the police search every home in a 2 mile radius of my home.

It seems just as rational to argue that the people who live in those homes should be willing to give up their right to not have their home searched if it means potentially finding a missing child in a potential criminal's home.

We can come up with all kinds of hypothetical situations. I am empathetic to parents going through the hell of a missing child, and to the children themselves. But the protection of children and victims must be balanced with the preservation of rights and freedoms considered deeply sacrosanct.
The people on blast are the ones publicly advocating for privacy. They're the ones who would be damaged in that scenario, and I for one want a society that takes them seriously.

Either we change how we live or we’re fucked.

And from what I’ve seen, people don’t mind being fucked tomorrow as long as they’re OK today. Even better if they can be OK-ish tomorrow as long as somebody else gets fucked worse.

Do you really truly believe that there’s going to be a magic climate change solution that allows the developed world to continue living the way it has?
I note that the blog post includes this quote:

<... Lisp’s performance is comparable to or better than C++ in execution speed ...
it also has significantly lower variability, which translates into reduced project risk.

Furthermore, development time is significantly lower and less variable than either C++ or Java.>

Then, towards the end of the article, the author says:

<Quite unexpectedly, Common Lisp was the best language overall,...>

How was that unexpected?
Thank you, that was very thorough and enlightening.
The index you're describing has already been created by Charles Schwab as SCHV in 2009 (and SPCH in 2005 for the S&P, and ...). There are already new indexes -- lots of them. DJIA is useful because it's an index calculated using the same metric for over a hundred years, so you can track performance for reporting and public perception.
If you want to quote a dictionary's definition, you should cite the dictionary you're quoting. If you're passing the dictionary's definition off as your own, word for word, that is plagiarism.
Surveillance does have its place, but a large part of the problem with the new technology of surveillance is the people passing the laws on surveillance don't understand the technology that surrounds it.

Take, for instance, the collection of metadata that is now so freely swept up by the American government without a warrant. This includes the people involved in communication, the method of communication, time and duration of communication and locations of those involved with said communication. All of that is involved in the metadata that can be collected without a warrant by national agencies for "national security" done on a massive scale under PRISM (PRIZM?).

Now, this is non targeted, national surveillance, fishing for a "bad guy" with enhanced surveillance capabilities. This doesn't necessarily seem like a good thing. It seems like a lazy thing, and a thing which was ruled constitutional by people who chose to not understand the technology because it was easier than thinking down stream at the implications.
I don't have iCloud Photo Library
Ah! This and the other comment suggest a method: Apple implements something for "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" in exchange for government calling off the regulation dogs. Cynical.
> It’s all an invasion of privacy until you’re sitting on the other side of the table where you have a vested interest in getting access to the information.

That's why it's so insidious. People keep making it about children, which are a very worthy cause. Nobody wants child abuse. But the problem is that the technology can be used for anything. Wouldn't it be nice to read all of the internal Slack messages at a company you're about to acquire? Wouldn't it be nice for Apple to have a copy of Google's source code? Wouldn't it be nice for a political candidate to cause their opponent some legal trouble? Spying on other people is always very valuable and governments (and corporations, probably) spend billions of dollars a year on it.

If we want to make this just about detecting abuse of children, I'm totally on board. Pass a law that says using this technology to steal corporate secrets or to gain a political advantage is punishable by death. Then maybe it can be taken seriously as something very narrow in scope. That, of course, would never happen. (Death penalty arguments aside; I'm exaggerating for effect.)

I can't believe that once this technology is out, it's only going to be used for good. (I imagine politicians will love this. Look at the recent Andrew Cuomo abuse allegations -- he abuses women, and then his staff try to cover it up by leaking documents, to discredit the abused. Sure would be nice to see what sort of things they have on their phone, right? Will someone like Cuomo NEVER have a friend that can add detection hashes to the set and review the results? I would say it's a certainty that a powerful politician will have loyal insiders in the government, and that if this system is rolled out, we're going to see colossal abuse -- flat-out facilitation of crime, lives ruined -- over the next 20 years.)

I have to wonder what Apple's angle is here. It would cost them less money to do nothing. They could be paying these researchers to work on something that makes Apple money, and banning users from their platform (or having them hauled off to prison) doesn't help them make money. I really don't want to be the conspiracy theory guy, but doesn't it seem weird that the Department of Justice wants to investigate Apple's 30% app store cut, and right about that time, Apple comes up with a new way to surveil the population for the Department of Justice? Maybe I read too much HN.
Why not join a climate focused tech company? There are a bunch out there.
I wonder what the net benefit would be though. I can definitely see CA doing a better job in terms of climate.

But give Alaska or many mountain West control of federal lands they likely would be leased out to polluting corps at breakneck pace.

Tweaking executive controlled land policies and making Monument designations has been effective on both sides of fighting climate catastrophe...
Well, it doesn't look that way so far. I haven't seen any credible mainstream positions ridiculing the people advocating for privacy. It seems like everyone's pretty well aware that technology sucks and systems like this are not to be trusted, even if they're implemented with good intentions.

We will see.

I've somehow gotten on mailing lists from candidates and politicians from both major parties over the past several years, and many of them did not seem to respect when I try to unsubscribe, which leads to me marking them as spam. Assuming that I'm not the only one suffering from not respecting my wishes to unsubscribe from lists I never signed up for, I would have to imagine that with enough frustrated recipients making the messages as spam, the algorithm infers that all of the messages from the list are spam. This wouldn't even require the algorithm to even recognize that the messages are political, let alone infer the ideology; I did the same thing with emails trying to sell me sunglasses.

> It's against Amazon TOS to contact Amazon's customers outside the Amazon messaging system

Is there some reason the seller needs to have the buyer's contact info?
In my experience, I have rarely seen anything which is feature complete. Either UI needs revamp because it's stale and not in current trends (like fashion industry) or the the backend starts to crumble with the weight of new ad-hoc features, increased number of users etc.

With agile, practically, many times development is just in time with little regard to long term requirements or the evolution of software so it's all layers of layers of things that work. There's rarely a time for fundamental restructuring of the codebase to meet the new requirement correctly.

Once the cracks begin to show, we start thinking of software rewrite.

For a construction of buildings, the redevelopment is about once 40 years, for software, it's about 5-7 years.
I really HATE usage of “CP”, it’s abuse and has nothing to do with pornography.

Is this true of in-between animation (which is what's being discussed in the linked article)? I would think this doesn't require much creativity, since you're interpolating between keyframes, and might be a reasonable target for ML methods.
What evidence is it based on? When you say evidence-based, do you mean the initial development of the program, or its ongoing claim to efficacy in light of the results?

There is evidence supporting AA as a treatment for alcoholism.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29606223/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32159228/

It's great there are alternatives, and I'm sure different treatments will work best for different people, but it is for that reason you shouldn't imply other programs are not an evidence-based treatment (at least of similar quality).
The common English phrase for language dominance would be "command of" the language.

You could also say "mastery over" the language.
One way to interpret the macaque photo is that the database has already been subverted for uses other than catching CP.
The implication -- and I think it's a valid one -- is that this client-side mechanism will be very quickly co-opted to also alert on non-CSAM material. For example, Winnie the Pooh memes in China.

It's a truly excellent bug, a gnarly logic problem (it superficially looks like a 32/64 problem, but it's really just a logic bug that follows those same contours) that kind of betrays how brittle the eBPF verifier is. I look at this bug and what it shows about the assumptions baked into eBPF verification and conclude that it is not safe for unprivileged programs to use.

What's nice is, this bug says nothing about the verifier's ability to protect kernel stability from stupid, rather than malicious, code. Which, for 99% of eBPF applications, is all you care about! It's still a great way to let systems programmers extend the kernel.
There are two problems that required to Solutions. Many of the areas that are burning now had a burn interval I'm less than 5 years prior to Federal wildfire suppression. They haven't burned in the last 150 years because of this. This is a real problem that needs to be addressed on top of climate change.

Highly valued is subjective to humans but not the economics of employment, which I think is worth noting because being a doctor in the middle of nowhere is highly valued by the people you help but not monetarily.

> I look at this bug and what it shows about the assumptions baked into eBPF verification and conclude that it is not safe for unprivileged programs to use.

This is actually something we took away from this (I work at Grapl) as well.

We consider the Linux kernel to be unsuitable for isolation in some of our services, and it at least requires hardening (such as limiting unprivileged ebpf) in others.

The article title might seem to suggest we have evidence that cavemen were could throw further than our best Olympic athletes... Instead, the article content is bemoaning that we have a standardized javelin that isn't as far-throwing as can be. Thus, the world record javelin toss may never be beaten.

Yes, the permanent world record is a little unfortunate. But it has nothing to do with how cavemen would throw.

Standards must be made to judge fair competition among participants. Yes, they're a little bit arbitrary - the 100M dash could very well be a 106M dash. But that wouldn't make the athletes 6% more impressive. Likewise, we could improve our javelins every year to get further and further throws. But our global interest isn't on the throw, but the thrower.
The lessons that some contributors (myself included) will learn from this, is that it’s now a common bait and switch to build your product with open source contributions, and then relicense it when it’s time to monetise. I used to talk most of my employers into letting me bug fix open source projects that they were having issues with, now I just talk them into maintaining their own forks. The open source “freemium” business model is very clearly a scam at this point.

I also personally can’t stand Elastic, because they charge enterprise rates for support, and then offer open source level support. You’ll come across a show stopping issue, and the support you’ll get is most commonly “why are even trying to do this?”, or “please refer to this issue that’s been stale since 2016”.
That's still non-zero and it's not clear how many more years this will linger or if it will become endemic at this rate.
