You're being horribly pedantic by undermining your own point?

The definition you quote indicates that data has become a mass noun, i.e., non-countable. The reference to the word datum is to contrast this with part of the previous definition.
Please state exactly what the lies are. That the election was rigged? Are you claiming that not a single district in a single state was compromised in any way? I'd like to see your proof. My point is not that Trump is correct... but just like I said, there are likely some kernels of truth in the statement, while you labelling it a lie is a shortcut to dismissing his entire argument without showing any proof yourself.

A Climate Tech Startup Closed 5 Enterprise Deals Before Even Launching
I believe it does interfere.

I started walking pretty obsessively during the pandemic as a way to get exercise that I used to get by bicycle commuting. Normally I would listen to podcasts during this time.

However a few times when I went without anything in my ears I noticed that I was starting to do real work while walking, and coming up with great solutions to difficult problems.

Now I limit podcasts just as I would with TV, video games or any other passive consumption. Nothing against consumption per se—a lot of ideas are seeded from outside—but in terms of creative work there's huge value to being left alone with ones thought. Anything mentally engaging will disrupt that.
I had that situation the first time I smoked weed as an adult while visiting Seattle. The funny part is that I kept rediscovering the fact that I had no idea where I was or where I was going, just the compulsion to walk.
I'm always trying to figure out the ideal way of walking and inputting information into a computer. I purchased a twiddler 2 chording keyboard, but didn't enjoy the concept of figuring out and learning the ideal key mapping (the defaults are terrible). Talking to myself seems silly, but I'm starting to think it might be the ideal way of getting ideas down.

Stopping and pulling out pen and paper was too disruptive. My ideal would be a walking stick with a few chording buttons that would key off different tasks, like start recording, or the next vocal word with be a voice command.

After GitHub.dev was released (hit “.” on any GitHub repo, to open it in browser-based VS Code), I immediately saw the notetaking workflow that I wanted: a GitHub repo, storing markdown that I can own/control, but editable in the browser, using my existing VS Code preferences (theme, keybindings, etc.).

Unfortunately, VS Code doesn’t natively support wiki links, so I created an extension that simply adds that feature on top of the core VS Code markdown editor: https://GitHub.com/lostintangent/wikilens.

Over the last week, this experience has really transformed my writing workflow. I can simply open https://GitHub.dev/lostintangent/wiki (my personal notes repo) and begin editing and navigating, without too much ceremony. As the extension ecosystem begins creating more extensions for GitHub.dev, this experience will only get better.
I like your positive attitude towards it - when you phrase it like that, it does indeed sound more like a success story. You may have changed my mind!

Based on what, though? What specific essential characteristics define the cases where it is deemed acceptable to restrict speech and how do the same exact criteria not also apply to many other scenarios as well?

Restrictable speech either has a clear essential nature or it doesn't, so one of three things must be true:

1) No such essential characteristic exists, which means that our regulations are applied arbitrarily.

2) Some essential characteristic does exist, but we just look the other way sometimes, which similarly means that our regulations are applied arbitrarily.

3) Some essential characteristic does exist that is actually applied everywhere that somehow morally differentiates "fraud" from "deception with intent".

I don't see truth in 1 or 3, so I think we must be doing 2.

Good luck. Years ago I was one of those evil people who spammed social media sites with automation. It was hilarious to see people comment that "they couldn't understand how this post got so many upvotes" on some sites.

I never tried to spam reddit because it was clear they were not fooling around, had all kinds of protective mechanisms I didn't immediately understand. It was pretty clear they'd block you on a hair trigger so I never tried.
The argument of Sony and Microsoft not allowing 3rd party stores on their consoles is an open and shut case. There's no discussion needed there. Everyone already acknowledges that's the case. So the conversion moved on to a more interesting topic: whether Sony and Microsoft have a duopoly. The GP claimed they did and I was making the point that they don't.

The confusion here is you're reading my comment thinking we're discussing a different topic. So it's not me who missed the point :)

I am dubious - not that I can't learn to alter my (android) phone so it thought it was in London when really it is in NY - but that I would not be tripped up by correlations.

In my experience all social media, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, ect. are all incredibly toxic and the most toxic people are backed by toxic moderators.

Nobody is genuine, people say things for upvotes and validation so now everybody has a political agenda. This creates mobs that shout people out of their echo chambers for good think points. Everybody is hopped up on dopamine being cruel to each other and they’re addicted.

Hand-wringing by members of the ultimate invasive species.

I went with my son’s middle school class on a field trip to the Audubon Society preserve in Portland, years ago. The guide gave the kids a long lecture about evil English ivy, explaining the concept of non-native invasive species. Portlanders organize groups to tear down the ivy in parks, often trampling the native ferns in their zeal.

Not ten minutes later the same guide showed the class a family of ducks crossing the path. Everyone oohed and aahed — ducklings, so cute. My son pointed out that they were mandarin ducks, a non-native species. The guide went quiet.

Or it raises an exception, which once disabled a navy warship for hours:

> Now decommissioned, the USS Yorktown was among the first warhips extensively computerized to reduce crew (by 10% to 374) and costs (by $2.8 million per year).

> On 21 Sept. 1997, the Yorktown was maneuvering off the coast of Cape Charles, VA, when a crewman accidentally ENTERed a blank field into a data base. The blank was treated as a zero and caused a Divide-by-Zero Exception which the data-base program could not handle. It aborted to the operating system, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, which crashed, bringing down all the ship’s LAN consoles and miniature remote terminals.

> The Yorktown was paralyzed for 2 3/4 hours,
unable to control steering, engines or weapons, until the operating system had been re-booted. Fortunately the Yorktown was not in combat nor in crowded shipping lanes.

> If IEEE 754’s default had been in force, the division by zero would have insinuated into the data-base an ∞ and/or NaN, which would have been detected afterwards without a crash.

Why do you say that? It extracts the bits using doubleToRawLongBits which does not do NaN canonicalization by design. And it gets back to a double with longBitsToDouble which "returns the double floating-point value with the same bit pattern". So it doesn't change anything either.

It is indeed in the first paragraph of the article mentioned that "person from Porlock" can also be referred to as "man from Porlock", or just "Porlock"
The exact quote is on the page linked, but here it is, with Coleridge writing about himself in the third person:

> On awakening he appeared to himself to have a distinct recollection of the whole, and taking his pen, ink, and paper, instantly and eagerly wrote down the lines that are here preserved. At this moment he was unfortunately called out by a person on business from Porlock, and detained by him above an hour, and on his return to his room, found, to his no small surprise and mortification, that though he still retained some vague and dim recollection of the general purport of the vision, yet, with the exception of some eight or ten scattered lines and images, all the rest had passed away like the images on the surface of a stream into which a stone has been cast, but, alas! without the after restoration of the latter!

No, we tried lockdowns, they did not work well, then extended them, then again. In my country some school children did not go to school for a whole year because people with anxiety disorder thought opening schools would kill children, parents and grand parents.
We’re in a part of Cambridge, MA with relatively small lots. I’ve supported every neighbor’s application for a permit or variance, even when I really didn’t like the aesthetics of what they were building.

(b) Aggressively try the hell out of every passwordless Wi-Fi network it can detect, then use headless chrome to aggressively smack every button to get past the stupid login pages

(c) Stream that video and audio to a server that saves it.
Not the original commenter. Difficult Conversations is a great book for understanding the dynamics of communications. It has a lot of overlap with the NVC book, but it's very poor in terms of giving actionable advice. The NVC book has the opposite problem: Great in terms of giving actionable advice, but poor in explaining the "why" behind the advice.
>And this infrastructure was built for human driver. And they do not work well for software driver.

How much would it cost though for parallel infrastructure that is suitable for a software driver? (better signage, rfid tags in the roads, 'smart' traffic cones, etc.) For say the Bay Area. 10 billion to a few hundred billion? Speaking for myself, I'd be happy to pay say an additional 1% sales tax if it meant facilitating an area wide 24/7 autonomous 'public transit' taxi service, presumably with at-cost per mile fares.
> What specific criteria are used in the cases

If you are actually looking for the answer to that question, there are a multitude of supreme court cases that you can read.

Just go google supreme court, 1st amendment cases, and reach the actual primary sources.

People teach whole classes on this stuff, and the specific reasonings that our courts give, for their strictness.

It is a complicated, but we'll established topic, for which you could read many many books on.

And if you truly are looking for the answer, as to the many nuances to that question, you need to read the actual court cases yourself.

> Restrictable speech either has a clear essential nature or it doesn't, so one of three things must be true

Unfortunately, speech laws are not a topic that you can learn in an afternoon.

There are people who spend their entire lives studying it. And you are not going to come up with some clever insight to it, in an afternoon.

Instead, you are going to have to actually do the work, and study the topic, for you to understand it fully.

I don't know what model you're using in order to be able to say that and I don't have any way to quantify it either but clearly some people are willing to jump off cliffs without knowing whether there's spikes or a mattress below and it's obvious that they're willing to take more risk than people who aren't, so your quantification point is moot.

This is nothing but extreme risk aversion. Some people, most, do not share it with you.

Annotating every object on the road with RFID beacons seems like it actually would be an impossible project. Yes, you can attach beacons to stoplights and signs (although they already have “beacons” that display in the visible light spectrum).

But you can’t attach them to people like the homeless pedestrian killed by Uber’s test self driving car, animals, trash thrown on the roadway or falling off a truck, or a boulder falling from the side of a mountain.

And looking at the decades-long process it took to install PTC on train lines, it would take decades to install radio beacons on everything we can and by then technology should have advanced to the point where we don’t need them.
Sweden is a different country than Norway or Finland, even though they are neighbors. Also, being low population density is irrelevant (you could have a huge country with everybody crammed in a city, actually Stockholm is much denser than Oslo for instance). Also, even within a single country, fatality rates vary greatly.

I don't think anybody knows how Sweden would have done with a different response to the Covid. In any case, on an objective scale, I think they've done quite well and they had a less miserable experience than the rest of us.
Sounds like one can use libuv in a CGI project and gain the same parallelization.
Or maybe it’s always true, at least on average over long time spans.

I’ve always thought that if your children think they are wiser than you it means you have been an excellent parent. If they look back with awe at your superior wisdom, it means things got worse and you perhaps failed to leave a legacy.

But, bottom line, Kahan (not only the father of IEEE 754, but also, with Golub, father of the SVD!) has thought about it a lot, and though he called the signed zero "a pain in the ass", he also said "There really wasn’t a way around that and you were stuck with it."

My group is a bit more nuanced: most will likely stick with Apple since the effect is somewhat invisible to them, but this topic brought the question up of “should I stay on iPhone” - which is not a question you want to come up very often if you’re trying to sell these devices.
So... Since there is a 0.2% chance of dying from covid(adult male in his 40s) you must take a vaccine that wears in 6 months, and take booster shots every year. You can still end up in hospital, you can still infect people, but it lowers the dying risk a bit. Also, government forces you to take this and if you refuse your rights are taken. Yep. Totally not stupid. Truly the work of scientists.
