Because the effectiveness of those warnings are diminished by mixed messaging and peer pressure from non-owner passengers.

There are plenty of people who have been convinced that those safety features/warnings are “just there for lawyers” and have attached items to the wheel to defeat the safety lockouts in order to show off their “self driving car” to their friends.
Those are good calculations. The bill says people will get monthly payments, so cash flow will be a small issue for most people. I think the biggest issue will be manufactured opposition. The green new deal had majority conservative support until Fox News lambasted it down to 35% support [1], and if conservative outlets pound on gas prices going up, carbon dividends will face stiff opposition.

That's the one no one wants to hear. Commercial whaling is practically extinct. Sustainable hunting (like Norway and the Minke) might actually be the solution.
Interesting, I had a very well-done phone attempt against my American Express card two weeks ago.

I have to wonder if all that data came from the TMobile hack.

* The caller ID was spoofed (not just the name, the actual number on my phone bill and phone app logs are a real AMEX number).

* The caller claimed to be reporting a fraudulent attempt on my account

* In order to verify my identity, please read back the six-digit PIN they're sending me (~ALARM BELLS GO OFF~)

* SMS 2FA shows up, "Enter this code to add your card to Apple Pay" (Oddly, this message doesn't carry the "WE WILL NEVER CALL YOU FOR THIS CODE" all previous SMS 2FA carried)

* I ask for a call-back number, for security purposes. I'm told "This is AMEX. This is AMEX." every time I ask.

I hung up, and froze the card. Then I called AMEX with the number listed on the back of the card. They acknowledged they did NOT call me at any point that day, that a transaction WAS attempted AFTER I froze the card, and issued a new card.

The caller was calm, call-centery, had my full name, credit card number, expiration, 4-digit CVV, and phone number.

I also learned that AMEX doesn't actually cancel the old card... my regularly billed transactions and new online purchases went through just fine with the old card info. I called AMEX to ask them to unambiguously reject all attempts for all previous card numbers, they acknowledged. Tried a few days later, the old number still works...

I hate Apple, they're ruining computers.

1. Devaluing general-purpose computing.

2. Disposable devices with soldered-in batteries and no upgradeability.

3. Removing headphone sockets so they can nickel-and-dime with irritating dongles and ridiculously expensive wireless headphones.

4. Disallowing personal backups using your own key to incentivize the use of expensive icloud storage.

5. App-store corruption.

6. Dodging tax in my country.

7. A million examples of shitty hardware design and then blaming the customer somehow, eg "you're holding it wrong", dust-attractant garbage keyboards, overheating gpus, etc etc

What a shitty, penny pinching piece of shit company. The most expensive devices and they still want to squeeze their customers more.

Literally everything they do trades privacy/usability for money, and the cherry on the shit sundae is always insulting their customers intelligence by somehow claiming it's for their own good.

And now we get probably the very worst thing they've done:

7. Legitimizing on-device scanning and adversarial devices.

I dearly wish they would go out of business because they're ruining technology, something I've loved my whole life.

I never even bought one of their bullshit locked-down garbage disposable devices and they're still ruining things for me with their influence on the market.

Fuck you, Apple. Fuck you in every way. You're the worst hardware manufacturer and the worst software manufacturer.

Go to hell.

It’s because we don’t have a self serviced onboarding which would take a lot longer and resource to build. It’s also not to give sticker shock before they have a chance to learn what it does and whether it’s a good fit. If most of your leads are word of mouth or inbound, having too much stuff on site isn’t necessary.

It’s also just matter of not having time resource to spend on the website.

Having pricing is more important for cheap monthly products that are alot more self services.

Sure? The note is that it is not a way here.
I'm still kinda shocked that it took so long to get chipped credit / debit cards in the US, and the fact that credit cards still don't have pins...

Most of the online transactions I do with my credit card in Europe require me to verify them via some approval app (often the bank's own app) before they're submitted.

But I guess it's more profitable to just let US folks spend spend spend and rack up huge debt burdens. The interest is probably higher than whatever anti-fraud efforts cost them at the moment.
Note that this switches to a register-based calling convention, but it's not the platform "standard" one. The Go authors describe the rationale for this here: https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/master/design/40724-r...
The capability was very limited. Basically you could program a looping series of commands for newly manufactured units. "Go to this waypoint #1, then waypoint #2, then this final waypoint, then go back to the beginning and start again." And IIRC you toggle a switch to select whether the units should strictly obey the commands or stop to engage in battle along the way.

Typically this is used to set a destination for new units, so they assemble automatically. But because you could set the commands to loop, and because you could authorize them to auto-engage (using the built-in AI to track and follow targets they run into), you could hack it to have the new units do routine patrols without further player action.

This definitely doesn't "solve" gameplay. It just gives the player access to the game's built-in AI for their own purposes. Of course it's much more useful playing against the computer than other players.

I don't quite follow you. Yes, we can't prevent keys from leaking here and there, which could allow malicious actors to cause some damage, but we can reduce its impact by making keys short-term (as we do today with TLS certificates) and capability-restricted, i.e. you would not be able to change highway speed limit with a road worker key and you will not be able to use a key generated for city A in a neighboring city B. And you probably will be able to use a leaked key only once, since after an illegal usage is detected it will be quickly revoked. Plus it will be clear whose negligence has caused the leak, thus responsible people/organizations can be held accountable, which eventually should improve cybersecurity level (at least a bit).

I appreciate your detailed comment based on current studies.

It seems that the Andamanese being remanants of Negritos has been debunked using DNA evidence and so it's unlikely that the Sentinelese were part of Austronesians.

> The Andamanese are the remnants of a much older expansion, perhaps 50K years prior

If they crossed using land bridge from NE Indian Subcontinent during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) then it's likely 26,500 years and 19–20,000 years ago(According to Wiki).

> The Andamanese are distant relations of the AASI ancestors of modern South Asians, and more distantly of the Australian Aborigines.

On a related note: Newer linguistic studies claims to have found proto-Dravidian languages in Indus Valley Civilization[1], If so then ASI migrations waves seems to have been happening quite regularly for thousands of years.

> I'm not interested in intervening with infantry and all the necessary materiel unless it's to defend ourselves from grave danger.

Grave danger was cited by the President, and concurred in as justifying war by Congress, in both of the long wars commenced under Bush.

> True, but they gave him blanket authorization for use of military force (open ended) rather than a declaration of war)

The Supreme Court has long recognized exercise of Congress’ war powers without magic words as legitimate declarations of war, and also recognized conditional declarations of war (including, again, those without magic words) as declarations of war. Magic words may be relevant to the application of other domestic law (because Congress may have chosen to make them so), but it does not change the fact that any time Congress, with or without magic words, and unconditionally or conditioned on some other fact (including a Presidential determination) “authorizes” war, it is in fact exercising its Constitutional power to declare war. In fact, it first did so in regard to the Congressional authorization for the Quasi-War of 1798-1800, which was the very first Congressional exercise of its power to declare war.

There was a schism in the RSS 0.x days. 2.0 is Really Simple Syndication and has a looser approach; RSS 1.0 is RDF Site Summary and tightens things up.

I had a very similar pattern happen a year or so ago on one of my bank debit cards. The difference in my case was that they made one fraudulent charge on the card beforehand to lend authenticity to the "we're the fraud team" claim. They knew the card number, and the details about the charge (presumably because they were the ones who made the charge). Then they tried to reset the password for my online banking login and asked me to read the security code I received via SMS to confirm my identity. Luckily the code sent to me was clearly labeled as a password reset code (though not with the "we won't ask for this code over the phone" line), so I froze the card and went down to my bank to talk about it. Apparently it had happened to a lot of my bank's members, and I was one of the few to not fall for it.
No. Doing so in a way that is intentionally designed to be more difficult for disadvantaged groups to fulfill so that they do not participate in the democratic process--that is not "considered" racism, it is racism.

But you know that. It must be hard to be so aggrieved.
I must reiterate, I don't doubt Terence's abilities, what I doubt are repetition of borderline mythical tales without extraordinary evidence (albeit,I accept someone might say Terrance is the extraordinary evidence).

sure, we have many attestations of speed reading too, and of course there will be attestations of people trying to sell a particular child or education method (or indeed scam).

And I've seen some very convincing performances (and yes, 2 year olds can pick up some basic symbolism, recognition, and repetition). but they lack the ability to comprehend or extend past their specifically repeated contexts. if you film only the contexts of their true positive successes, you can almost sell it, but their errors in extension to anything but rote quickly reveals their comprehension of what they're capable of shouldn't be confused with literacy/numeracy.

different issues abound with attempts to measure or quantify IQs in the extreme ranges at all, let alone in children for which there will be almost no standard applicable method, and it's interpretation is even dodgier.

I mean, another cynical man might say, obviously someone who has lived a life like Terrance must have been given remarkable opportunities. since he clearly did not introduce himself to the gifted study at age 3, and given that we do not have standardised testing at such an age someone was likely a driving force behind him in his youth. the obvious candidate would be his parents, who partake in strong educational and repetitive training, but in the context of the pedagogy of Australian education of the time, would also have to had a very strong narrative needed to overcome some of the dominant "hold them back" attitude of the time.

I mean, we see the same thing with Beethoven and the like. everyone is so focused on the prodigious properties of the person in their later life, critical thinking and skeptical inquiry tends to go out the window. we want to explain greatness through some inherent difference, rather than say the alternative: maybe Terrence is great because of some innate ability. but primarily it is almost certainly the opportunities afforded to him via his circumstances combined with the work and practices and momentum of his parents and his family and then in later life, of himself.

relatively non-scientific hocus-pocus like "taught oneself to read at age 2" literally would go against almost all knowledge of language or child development theories. yet otherwise intelligent people accept such old wives tales without much critical thought.
> In any case, the post you responded to doesn't say anything about fox news.

I'm using "Fox News" as a placeholder for "media demonstrably known to propagate bald-faced lies". You can replace this with 4chan, youtube, facebook or wherever it is that those people get their "news" from. I'm going to assume they get their news from a bad source, due to the unsupported stuff they believe in; it may not be Fox News, but it's something just as bad (right-wing or left-wing).

> Any basing an opinion on fox news isn't "Doubting blindly"; it would be blind trust.

That's exactly my point. These (so called) "skeptics" (who are always doubting vaguely reasonable information sources) are usually intensely guillible people that have no problem blindly accepting information from demonstrably bad sources, particularly when is suits their own world views (i.e. not actual skeptics).

> Blind doubt aka scepticism is fine, because doubting something (with poor sources) isn't the same as assuming it's false - it's not assuming that it's true.

Again, as I said, "doubt" that comes with intellectual honesty is fine (i.e. you doubt but accept that you may be wrong and are willing to be corrected). "Doubt" that is based on simple ignorance (or unwillingness to figure things out), on the need to be contrarian, because it is convenient, because you think it makes you look smart, or because you are trusting horrible information sources is not. This second type of "doubt" is what I am calling "blind doubt" ("doubting for the sake of doubting" more often than not, and definitely for the wrong reasons).

Should we teach "flat earth theory" and "intelligent design theory" in schools (you know... because we have to be skeptical of everything)? No, blind skepticism is not fine.

> Lack of a reason to trust US elections is justification to doubt them.

Ah, yes. Inverting the onus of proof is fun. Do you have any proof that you haven't stole my property? Then you must have stolen my property (or, at least, I lack a reason to trust that you haven't stolen my property)! This is fun!

Meanwhile... number of pieces of evidence suggesting/demonstrating large-scale fraud in US election results: zero.

But, hey... you do you.

> which seems to take "doubting the outcome of elections" as automatically outrageous, without mention of reasons, sources or why

Can you give me a good justification for doubting the results of said elections, using actual observed and widely accepted facts other than opinion (e.g. "I personally lack a reason to trust US elections" is not a good justification)? I have yet to hear anyone provide any actual arguments that would support it, and all the US judges that have been faced with the same issue seem to agree with my assessment, so... yes, I am going to assume that these people (and you, if that is the case) are "doubting" it for all the wrong reasons: not based on actual information, critical thinking and intellectual honesty, but the exact opposite of it (probably because "they heard something somewhere" or because the "wrong" person won).

This is a big peeve for me. I think journalists are responsible for the misuse of "exponential". They use it to mean "grows very fast", while making them look erudite.

It annoys me, because science journalists are reporting on the spread of a pandemic, which absent controlling factors actually does grow exponentially. So having degraded the term, they now lack a word to describe a quantity whose rate of growth is proportional to its magnitude.
RSS has a complicated history, but the versions you’re most likely most familiar with are maintained by the RSS Advisory Board and state definitively: “Its name is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication.”

Sort of? It depends on the "thing", but spaced repetition is pretty standard for physical activities like martial arts. In essence, you're attending a class that focuses on drilling a particular technique on a regular interval. There isn't much research from sports pedagogy, though I think its more because its just a "known" requirement that doesn't require much new research. However, I would also say that spaced repetition goes beyond simply reviewing Anki flash cards and that there is an element of kinesthetic learning that is necessary to strengthen the learning gains.

I live in the US. This happens to me often. About 50% of my contactless payments fail. The "genius" automatic fraud detection always seems to think it's fraud. Why a fraudster would buy $10 worth of fruits at a grocery store next to my listed address, I don't know. It's not that the terminals are bad. The payment companies use historical data to determine the "right" amount of contactless payments and so we can never really progress.
