Of course in the population you will see the whole range, the bell has two tails:

do not assume there is one tail only.

Remember that one side is louder than the other: do not be fooled scouting by noise. (Nor do commit fallacies of generalization at rights - responsibility is on the individual.)

Anecdote: you tell me? The day before posting that - which already contained other anecdotes - this nice guy went for a takeaway and an unknown fool, the wrong tail of cheeky, started smiling and fake-coughing - owner reported he did that whenever he saw anyone wearing a mask. Is that the end of the pandemic? Because the nice guy saw the same at the early beginning: fake-coughers at the supermarket, mocking those who seemed to want to stay at a distance. She, almost twenty, kept herself coughing smiling and almost adhesive (well, it's nice guy involved, what else can you do) at the counter. The boyfriend went along but while leaving went "Well, on the other hand, when it's full of people...", in a sudden strike of reason. And nice guy looking and the sky thinking, the are so foolish they do not remotely guess that I kept at a distance especially because I had to attend to business, hours before, in the biggest epicenter city of the epidemic. Now: if society thinks that combating and preventing foolery is not a priority...
Thank you, for bringing that to my attention, just read it.
It does look like Fella is addressing psychological issues which I think are huge. The issue if you deny that calories in v calories burnt is the essential metric is you end up with the problem with bariatric surgery where people literally eat to the point of severe pain and don't lose weight. It's why responsible surgeon always require significant calorie restriction weight loss before surgery.
Is it not like statistical certainty: i.e. you need a million or so queries to cover the range of your possible outcomes, and the hundreds of billions just takes you from 0.999999 certainty to 0.9999999999999999999?

You do NOT get added benefit from big data by taking it from millions to hundreds of billions. It becomes just a lesson in scale, without bringing any added benefit of insight.
The individual guidelines are good, but the motivating context is missing a crucial ingredient: genuine curiosity. Reading to tick the box of having read something is a tough sell to convince your memory to weave the new knowledge in usefully.

When you read to gratify and challenge your own curiosity, you stitch insights into an ever-widening framework which is naturally self-reinforcing as you continue your journey forward. To that end, I’d add another guideline (which the author dances close to): ask questions, seek answers.
But what does make us think Android manufacturer or Google are any better? It is slow erosion of all privacy. We already see in China and Belarus how this will (not if) be abused when things get rough with a wrong government.

To everyone looking for the answer:

It was Morecambe, UK -- after 21hrs and 24mins.
To What, though?

This is the problem I'm currently struggling with.

I could go to Android, which is relatively good but still run by Google (one of the most data-hungry corporations around). I kind of want the Z Flip 3, but not if it's running the kind of operating system that thinks of me as a data source and not a customer.

I could go to linux phones, execpt no, they have absolutely no concept of competence in any form, and frequently die with less than two hours of battery life under their belts.

I might decide to root/jailbreak, but that's the kind of resistance that invites malicious intruders to take advantage of the broken security models of our duopolist platform economics to sell my data to the highest bidder.

This isn't a rhetorical position: what do I do in this scenario? I want to leave Apple, but I can't find a good alternative and iMessage might be the dollar-store adhesive keeping me to the lesser of two evils.
If the price doesn't make users quit, this won't either.

It took years for this man to get to the point where he is now, and all this with modern equipment, and widely available literature.

Imagine what a monumental feat it was 50 years ago.

Him doing it all by himself is something quite extraordinary by itself. I can't imagine if that all can be replicated even by a mid-sized research university with decent labs (academia, and research outsource almost everything from their lab scale chip plants besides things which make their area of expertise.)
it is somehow funny that governments could track and force people getting vaccinated, give them a qrcode to comply to whatever new law under the premises of a virus/public health but that the same government couldnt do that for pedophiles and has to push for a private company to do this kind of things. people are not dumb. we all know why. it is because the people that would fall into the net of pedophily are the powerful ones. just like the belgium dutroux case proved it. we all know where it is going with this CSAM and we not gonna like it
yep having a centralized pollution source is much more controllable and optimizable, a breakthrough in emission filtering techology and in a short time span it can be effectively implemented vs decades long new cars renewal cycle... although replacing a tiny percentage of roofs with solar tiles would make for a robust and smooth transition in sunny countries at least..
Trapsled?
Not really. It's a scale issue. Such an expenditure to Google is like a billionaire dropping ten thousand dollars on something, compared to a normal human asked to come up with ten thousand dollars.

Buying a default spot is the interesting aspect here. Google spending more than Bing's entire yearly revenue just means they want that thing, and tells you their relative wealth. I figure this applies just as well to corporations as it does to individuals: if you're going to look askance at Jeff Bezos etc. you may as well keep an eye on businesses with similar disparities of scale relative to their market sector. Not like we haven't seen all this before.

I would have you know that in some countries this would be illegal. A child has a right to private conversation just like any other person in many law systems.

And yes it is obviously a spyware.

The report phishing analogy is also completely wrong because it does not include any surveillance. You report the phishing and send the message to some authority. It is the same as going to the police after receiving a threatening mail, whereas the spyware is like the postal service opening each of your letters.
Yes, the name does imply that but it does not actually store any time zone. The timestamptz type stores a point in time in the UTC time zone with microsecond resolution while the timestamp type stores a point in time in an unknown time zone (which time zone is left up to the application/user) also in microsecond resolution. These types are really useful and closely match the LocalDateTime (=timestamp) and Instant (=timestamptz) classes in Java, but in java they have better names.

You almost always want to use timestamptz in columns and only use timestamp when doing certain types of timestamp arthmetics.

If only Google had acted as a good faith steward of Android instead of pushing vendor lock in and closed source APIs in ways that make Bill Gates green with envy. Who am I kidding, their hilariously named "Open" Handset alliance even has a kill switch in the licensing agreements for anyone even thinking about competing with its services.

There isn't much meritocracy in the system, at least as far as I can see. In Czech we have a saying "the wolf has eaten, but the goat remained whole" for situations like that.

The American elite wants to be seen as anti-racist, which means elevating at least some kids from the ghettos to the Ivy Leagues etc. At the same time, the American elite is still mostly white and does not want to jeopardize future of their own offspring, and many of those offspring are indeed average.

It seems to me that the current way to square those two interests is to raise tuition really high, combine it with legacy admissions (even an average kid of rich parents will be able to thread the needle there) and raise higher admission obstacles for Asians who would otherwise qualify in high numbers on knowledge alone.
I think you've made a category error. We're not talking about the lost schmucks who've bought into this claptrap - we're talking about whose bright idea it was in the first place, and who's making an effort to spread it. Someone is providing those "alternative theories". You dig around a little and you find dubiously funded websites and media outlets pushing this stuff, as well as the more unsavory elements of media we call "mainstream". It's not nearly as organic as it seems, and we shouldn't let the bad actors hide behind social media as the scapegoat. "Astroturfing" is not new.

So, who benefits when Americans lose faith in their government?
It is possible indeed that the Pfizer vaccine is not particularly efficient against Delta but, at the same time, Israel is only one country among a growing list of countries facing a new wave of Covid and what we can see over there does not show up (yet?) in other countries such as the UK or France.

Even if Dr Haviv is correct and the protection offered by the Pfizer vaccine is only valid for 7/8 months, many lives have still been saved in the meantime (Israel got almost no cases and deaths in Q2 2021 for example).

I guess more data is required to see how it goes but it is ackowledged that not all the vaccines have lifetime effects and some only work against specific variant (like the flu one).

To finish, I would like to reiterate that the Delta variant is a game changer so a quote from February needs to be taken with a grain of salt because the situation has changed completely since then.
Exactly. I don't want this for the exact same reason.
You have the fructus but no longer the usus and associated rights. If you own an apartment it does not give you a right to set up webcams to look at the tenants.
If it was an intentional release, obviously that's a completely different class of problem. That would be an act of war against the rest of the world, using a weapon of mass destruction, in addition to the collateral suffering of China's own population. Only very fringe groups are suggesting this was intentionally leaked to begin with. However, there's still the problem of Wuhan air travel lockdown. What possible reason was there not to lock down international travel from Wuhan when they locked down domestic travel, other than to ensure China wouldn't be alone in suffering the fallout? That alone is dangerously close to an act of war, even if the initial release was accidental. Or even if it was completely natural in origin... it really doesn't matter where it came from, that decision alone is a serious problem.

An accidental release is still the host country's responsibility, though. If that's what happened, it's important to understand how it happened to reduce the chance of it ever happening again. Such a conclusion would also lead to international demands for compensation which could put a damper on China's political and economic aspirations.

You have blinders on if "every virologist take [you've] read suggests that the virus does not look man-made." You probably formed this opinion prior to spring 2021. Before that, "trusted" authorities were all declaring that a lab leak was virtually impossible. Things have changed dramatically, with disclosure of some of Fauci's emails and a bunch of virologists now backtracking, saying they're either unsure or think the lab leak hypothesis is more likely.

Email from a virus researcher at Scripps to Fauci, early on (2020/01/31), suggested in a preliminary assessment that small portions (probably the portion of the spike protein everyone's concerned with) look potentially engineered:

> It's that "I cut calories and I lost weight" is not anecdotal. It's factual.

It simplifies the problem though, because for many, that approach has side-effects that seriously affect quality of life, like sleep, concentration, mood swings, depression etc.

Speaking of depression, I often get a similar vibe in those threads, where undoubtedly someone will jump in and say "all you have to do is lift heavy weights and change your diet a bit". It feels like they haven't experienced what other people have, so their advice sounds tone-deaf, a version of "let them eat cake".

> Since it's hard to stick with cutting calories for many people, throwing drugs at it with Fella is not the right answer.

If it works, it's great. Because obviously the "just change your life to be like me and hope for the best" approach doesn't work for most people, or they'd do it.
It's not a tech problem.

Google is valued like "real estate", it's the best address. And then you need the advertising network for it be worthwhile.

Apple, like Microsoft, can replace google as the default search, but that alone is not a big chunk of the market. It might not be worthwhile.

Otherwise, of course it can be done, and for even less than that.
Sorry, but I disagree. The less any of these FAAMNG companies know about me or the identities I use is the better.
DNS and Bind by Cricket Liu is the classic one.
No commercial aviation radar system even tries to output non-transponder altitude infomation. Many are secondary only and don't even pick up targets without transponders.

Military primary radar, like the one that picked up MH370, obviously can.

But I don't think any of those are designed for really accurate altitude measurements. That job is usually done with targeting radar which (at the expense of not being able to see multiple targets) can lock a single target and get it's exact position.

The Gaming Metaverse and the Rise of Virtual Globalisation
As the world becomes more globalised, we find ourselves closer and more interconnected to one another than ever before. The emergence of metaverses will usher in a new form of globalisation. That being virtual globalisation.
Check out my latest piece on the topic below. If you are interested in Cryptocurrency, virtual reality or a fan of tech in general, give it a read.
You could stop buying iStuff on principle otherwise they'll just continue with this crap.

As for alternatives, anything would do. Android doesn't do client side scanning of files since that's your chief concern. If you want more you can always root and play around.

Can't learn unless you try things.

I for one am happy with stock android and signal/telegram/whatsapp/sms.

>The problem with building a meritocratic system is that everyone wants capable kids from poor backgrounds to raise to the top, but the elite doesn't want their average kids to fall down in society to their expected rank.

I disagree with the second half of this. I think it simply creates an arm race that the wealthy win. A rich family looks at what it takes to get their kid into Harvard and they do what they can, no matter the cost. A poor family simply can't compete on an otherwise equal footing. Even if we socialize all the advantages that the rich currently have, they simply do even more in response.

The real problem with a meritocratic system is that rich people from good schools with private tutors actually get a better education, that's what all the hubub is about. Poverty leads to worse education and worse educated people are less prepared for the more difficult course load of college. Through no fault of their own, they are less ideal candidates. That's the injustice.

It's cognitive dissonance to simultaneously recognize that injustice but not recognize that poor students are actually substantially less prepared for college at 18.
I think this is a bit too cynical/negative. It's not true that neural net approaches don't work, they just have different strengths and weaknesses (strength being generalization/flexibility/ease of use, weakness being long term coherence, interpretability, reliability). There are plenty of examples of traditional methods being combined with neural net methods (eg https://ai.stanford.edu/blog/qagnn/ , https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.04799 , NeRF), and I think that is likely to happen in this context as well to some extent.
The entire first paragraph was, and the rest is indeed about the larger issues at play.

That was one of the points from Java 1.0.

Thing is, care with what you wish for when easy to outsource is a goal, a welcomed feature mostly relevant to IT managers that don't care about the final quality of delivery, nor what consequences it makes to the home job market.

But should consumers really get their money back in some point, because the product was falsely promoted and advertised?
i wouldnt too sure about that. Most of the things that china imports have super low ramp up time, so a planned exodus is significantly easier for them.

It's unlikely to happen in the short term but it's entirely possible in a decade or two if nothing significant changes in the meantime.
Algorithm may decide picture of building is a child porn. That is problem.
I'm now picturing "humanoid" only in the loosest sense, e.g. a head and arms only, for remote operation by a human inside the Mars (or Phobos) base, mounted on the outside of a cybertruck, like some Terminator Centaur.

The operator would be able to toggle between "drive the truck" and "pick up rocks" modes, depending on which shape is appropriate for the task at hand.
Quote: "if Japan mandated a shift to all-electric vehicles — which have fewer components and are easier to manufacture — it could cost millions of jobs and destroy a whole ecosystem of auto parts suppliers."

This is the real reason i think, Japan is scared of the reduced complexity of electric cars meaning that their engineering and supply chain advantages are diminished. Also having a large existing ecosystem built for fossil cars means it is harder for them to change. China is the big winner from that (and consumers from cheaper electric cars hopefully).

This is also a reason I am not that fond of hybrids. It's a nice idea, but I would rather just have the electric engine that is less likely to have mechanical issues.

The dirty power plants are not the real problem, because when when coal/gas power generation is eventually taken offline this immediately benefits all the electric cars that use that power. Getting people to switch to electric should be be main focus, and mandating that fossil engines will not be sold in the future is the best way to do this.
Unfortunately we don't, the first target date was 2007, and the numbers looked like we're getting there, but it just never happened. Nowadays there's no target date and the propaganda is eurosceptic, so I'm not holding my breath.

Lab leak does not imply "man made" at all. Chinese virology labs are quite far from safe and stuff leaks out all the time. There's a whole lot of circumstantial evidence that this virus came from a bat to begin with and was not created in the lab.

Yes you can do all of this on AWS with Route 53, AWS CLI/API and AWS fine-grained policies. You can integrate it with the Lets Encrypt pre/post hooks and setup domain-specific keys for each specific update server.
I knew the quote before hand, I wanted to make it clear for others that you were quoting something and not just coming up with an opinion. I phrased it as a question to sound more polite, which seems to have backfired a bit.
I think time can tell. I believe the NeuralHash is obviously flawed and they know it too. Hence they have the human moderators to look through the content.

I feel what might really happen is that the moderators may end up leaking someone’s private pictures. I think there was another thread earlier on HN which talked about how Apple’s repair team did something similar with someone’s photos, and there is also Apple’s iCloud disaster that happened with the actresses.

But I feel the Pandora’s box is already opened with regard to this. Even if Apple may not relent to another government’s desires to add extra things to be checked for, the various governments of the world may want to implement something like this on their own, if they haven’t already.
