"State" school are the free, government run schools. "Public" schools are typically fee-paying, and are named so because when they were founded, anyone who paid could send their children there, rather than it being restricted by class or religion. They were "public" because the general public could send their kids there.
I know there's going to be some debate about this response but I genuinely think Instagram plays that role in my life. I don't really have the type of friends that do a lot of reposting, but even those that do in the name of activism or donating to a cause limit it to the story feature. If you ignore stories and just focus on actual posts, Instagram is basically Flickr but with room to add captions. There's a mute story feature and also a mute posts feature if necessary.

I don't see many people repost stories or news as actual posts. I would suggest staying away from the discover tab.

Cutting the cold crank power requirement to 0 is also pretty nice. It means ACs with this thing would play nicely with solar/battery systems as they wouldn't require big current spikes to start.

Because the old version doesn't work due to DRM/it depending on a remote API version that's no longer available/it's just flat out unavailable/etc...

It's cute you think you /can/ turn off the modern features in a lot of today's garbage.
Yes. Courts have upheld that a manual search of your phone by customs is legal. But more invasive, forensic investigation of your devices has been found to be unconstitutional. I'm not sure exactly where or how the line is drawn between the two.

The usual example is DNA evidence. The two most obvious fallacies are actually called The Prosecutor Fallacy and The Defendant Fallacy because it's so easy for either side to mis-sell what the evidence really means.

It's basically impossible for someone who isn't pretty handy with Bayes to work out the significance for themselves.

Protecting privacy is a losing game today (2018)
The overall discussion is regarding censorship though. Censoring everything you deem a "lie" without meeting some arbitrary barrier of truth leads to bad outcomes
I haven't read all the linked materials, but the reference provided[1] with the sentence "To put it simply, pickup trucks and SUVs are two to three times more likely than smaller personal vehicles to kill people walking in the event of a crash." said the following:

"The majority of fatal pedestrian crashes involve light vehicles.[210] About one-third of pedestrians who are injured are struck by an SUV or pickup truck (see Appendix VII, Table VII-1), which corresponds closely to the make-up of SUVs and pickups in the U.S. vehicle fleet. However, SUVs and pickups account for closer to 40 percent of pedestrian fatalities, which suggests that injuries may be more severe when sustained in collisions with these vehicles. "

So at least for this one relieable source, SUVs or pickups are not hitting more people because of size/hight as argued by the blog. They tend to result in more damage in the accidents, instead.

I don't understand where advice like finishing the book is optional comes from. Anyone who's ever written anything of some length and gone through the publishing process with copy editors would recognize that stories are told in coherent pieces. If a book isn't meant to be finished it isn't meant to be read. Move on.
One interesting, and quite unexpected, effect was on the suicide rate in the United States. Specifically, the fact that it has declined slightly. This is especially surprising given the seemingly inexorable rise on that same rate for decades. We are only now starting to see analysis of this data, and while I hardly think that this is enough to make any sizable statements about lockdowns, it's also certainly not the case that we know they were more harmful than unchecked covid.

And? What does that have to do with the GP?
Well, yes but no. That's the whole point of this discussion: how considering calories with sugar intake alone doesn't completely explain the obesity pandemic. Eating too much food never made most people that fat for such a long period of time, until the industrial food revolution that happened in the last 45 years.

The real culprit for this obesity pandemic was introduced in our diet only about 45 years ago.

Emulsifiers like lecithins should be looked at very seriously, along with other recent history additives.
The law here is not completely developed. The US Supreme Court has not ruled on the extent to which electronic devices of a US person may be searched at a border.

In practice, courts have generally allowed manual, cursory searches of electronic devices (such as looking at recent photos) as being similar to a search of luggage. However, courts have disagreed on how intrusive the search can be and whether a more invasive search at the border can be conducted without some additional suspicion.

The shocks on most cheap bikes are questionable at best. Lots of stiction and you're lucky if there's any dampening at all.

Downhill mountainbikes are popular conversions. They are designed with high speeds and impacts in mind. The cost may be prohibitive to many DIYers though.

For high speed (50km/h), adequate tires are also necessary. E50 rated tires are now widely available that can handle the speeds and loads.
Yes, it’s mentioned that that can peak at five times the running load to get it started.
I think I get your point but I don’t think that’s a fair question to ask. Allowing Apple (or any other big company) to scan my hardware or letting my friends scroll to it are the distinct „risks“. There may be stuff on their that’s neither illegal nor immoral but I still would not want my friends/relatives/acquaintances to see/discuss. Sure I‘d prefer that google/Apple would not care for my browser history as well, but that’s a less direct thread.
I don't understand this. They made it, surely someone else can too? Are we on the verge of a bunch of industries using hyperspecialization as a monopoly justifier? I mean this sounds just like what I used to hear pre-Snowden about DARPA and the NSA etc, 20 years ahead of the public.
I second "just try all of them" when testing single precision floats. It's really easy to do, and gives you a lot of confidence in the correctness. For example, I had a float-to-bytes-to-floats conversion in some GPU shaders and "just test that every single possible float survives a round trip" made it trivial to be sure it was correct. (Also I found out my video card drivers were losing an ulp when parsing float constants in shaders.)
The article isn’t very clear about when harm has been done. It’s unclear which machine learning models researched production and whether human safety was on the line, like it would be for a bridge or a driverless car.

For example:

> Hundreds of ML teams built models to automate covid detection, and every single one was useless or worse.

That’s bad, but it doesn’t seem to mean there were hundreds that made it to production use? Drilling down, there is this bit from Technology Review [1]

> That hasn’t stopped some of these tools from being rushed into clinical practice. Wynants says it isn’t clear which ones are being used or how. Hospitals will sometimes say that they are using a tool only for research purposes, which makes it hard to assess how much doctors are relying on them. “There’s a lot of secrecy,” she says.

So clearly there was a lot of research that wasn’t immediately useful, but in the end it’s not clear how much reached production, whether it was critical to any health decisions, or whether people were harmed by it.

It is complicated. I think it is right to fire a teacher who advocates for fascism in the classroom. I think it is wrong to fire a teacher who teaches systemic racism in the classroom. To me, the content does matter.

But the point is that we only see the people who claim to promote free speech as a general rule showing up to defend roughly one side of the education process (conservative students) and largely being silent when faculty are attacked.

I wasn't talking about history. Inheritance has nothing to do with it.

In the present day, Māori have lower incomes, poorer access to housing and so poorer health, and they are discriminated against by health professionals when they do present. Māori have less access to finance and are discriminated against for jobs, and their children by primary school teachers. Racism: we has it.

As far as I can tell the same is true for First Nations people.
Glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. While the article had good nuggets of information, I didn't find it credible enough for me to take a chance on applying in real life. Maybe it's the general negative tone.

250W pushes my 220lbs fat ass along pretty swiftly

I use it to quickly check when it was I've went to some random place outside the city, or which town I've passed by. If you don't have another tracker it can be nice to check roughly how long you walked/traveled (e.g. if you bike only occasionally) on a given day or in general at a specific time. I also find it fun to compare my very static 2020 data to my 2019 data for example.
Personally I used this time to improve my relationship with my wife and improve myself. The loss this year isn't the loss of socialization or income it is the literal loss of our family members and friends who died and the loss with lesser measures could only be greater.

I think attempts to quantify value of life are fraught with problems and absurdities. Consider an 80 year old whose average life expectancy based on health was just a year. Certainly you wouldn't suggest he be killed if it might save some 9000 people an hour in traffic? The problem lies not merely with the incorrect assignment of the value time during lockdown as having zero value itself clearly erroneous but with the idea that lives and time are so trivially fungible that you can come up with an acceptable number of hours stuck in your house watching netflix to folks slowly suffocated in their own fluids. There is no such algorithm that reasonable people could agree on in good faith even if we started with the best of intentions.
> Long time ago I read that walking or taking a shower make your thinking more effective because it somehow enables automation mode and allow to be more focused

They mention it quite a lot in the "Learning how to learn" coursera course. They call it the "diffuse mode", by opposition with the "focused mode".

The course was quite interesting and easy to digest.
A somewhat arbitrary distinction. Humans and their dogs and livestock are invasive and destructive. Why pick on the ivy but not on Australian shepherds and chihuahuas?

My point was the apparent lack of awareness involved in demonizing a plant species but giving a pass to a duck, when both are non-native species introduced by people. Why are Portlanders tearing down ivy but not killing house sparrows? Or marijuana plants for that matter, also not native to North America.

Portland is the Rose City, famous for the rose gardens. Those are non-native flowers, no one is running around tearing them up.
> Your argument is that we should ignore news media with an “anti lockdown” agenda?

The argument may be more 'be aware of the biases of the news media you consume'.

Contrast:

> Sweden has recorded more COVID-19 cases per capita than most countries so far: Since the start of the pandemic, roughly 11 out of every 100 people in Sweden have been diagnosed with COVID-19, compared with 9.4 out of every 100 in the UK and 7.4 per 100 in Italy. Sweden has also recorded around 145 COVID-19 deaths for every 100,000 people — around three times more than Denmark, eight times more than Finland, and nearly 10 times more than Norway.

[…]

> Sweden's economy still shrank 8.6% from April to June of last year — its largest quarterly fall in at least 40 years. By comparison, Denmark's economy shrank 7.4% during that time, Norway's 5.1%, and Finland's just 3.2%. (None of these economies shrank by more than 4% over the course of 2020, though.)

> Sweden's unemployment rate also rose from 6.6% in March 2020 to 9.5% in March 2021. Norway, Denmark, and Finland all saw unemployment rise by smaller margins: around one percentage point, on average.

Compared to the UK (where the Telegraph is based) Sweden did pretty well—but that may not be a valid apples-apples comparison for a variety of reasons. Compared to the other Nordics—which may have more similarities (economy, demographic, geography)—Sweden did not do as well AFAICT.

Assuming his motor is mounted tight enough so that the tire loses traction before his friction drive does, he's likely halving his tire life.

Its dynamic taint checking - it tries to keep track of which variables are user controlled (tainted) and prevent you from using them unsafely.

As a strategy for dealing with xss, its fallen out of favour, but static taint analysis, which is the same thing but not at runtime and less accurate is still super popular in big shops as a CI step.

As an approach though its more a way to make sure you dont screw up as opposed to a way to solve the problem in general.

> "Hey, I noticed you were a little bit late, which is unusual for you. Is everything OK?"

"Yup."

> "Hey, I noticed you were a bit late in the last couple of meetings. I think it is somewhat important to be on time. Is there anything I can do to help you avoid being late next time?"

Below are very real (and somewhat common) responses I've seen to this type of question.

"Nope." (single word answer)

Also:

"I wasn't late" (person believes being up to 5 minutes late doesn't count as "late").

"We don't discuss anything important in this meeting."

"I have real work to do."

"I'm not needed in the meeting."

"You have plenty of topics you can discuss where I'm not needed. Just save the stuff you need me for till I arrive."

"No one's going to die if I'm a few minutes late."

Granted: Many of these responses would come with my phrasing as well :-)

I'm not opposed to your phrasing other than you never explained what the problem is with my being late. While it may be clear to many that you have a problem with being late, I assure you from experience that many (ordinary) people will not pick up on that. Why is being late a problem? Not in general, but for you and for this meeting.

You instead try to appeal to some kind of norm: "I think it's somewhat important to be on time." I can assure you many don't share that norm. Academic/tech/science people tend to avoid personalizing and prefer making statements that feel objective, like this one. I did this all the time, and it often led to arguments. This is one key thing I learned from all the books/courses I read/took on communications: Do personalize and do be specific. Don't invoke norms unless it's a company value without exceptions or your 100% sure the other party shares the norm. And don't make general statements.

I would take your statement and say it as:

"I noticed you were more than 5 minutes late in the last couple of meetings, and the meeting cannot proceed without you. It can be annoying for us to interrupt our work to attend the meeting and lose productivity while sitting and waiting. Would you be able to find a way to arrive on time? Is there anything I can do to help (e.g. change the meeting time to a more convenient one)?"

As for saying it to your boss: I have no problem saying it to mine. If my boss is consistently late and it affects my work, I do make sure to let him know. I've had to set up private meetings with my boss to let him know that his behavior in a working group meeting was causing problems. If you're not comfortable with these discussions with your boss, then I suggest you change your communication style or change your boss.
