My solution: Group people by zip code, give distance ranges based on the two users' zip codes.

Within same zip code or two zip codes that border each other? "0 feet to (farthest distance between any two points within zip code(s))"

Zip codes farther apart? "(closest distance between any two points within zip code) to (farthest distance between any two points within zip code)"

No need to limit queries, no need to fuzz anything. No way to triangulate unless one person happens to live at the corner of three or more zip codes, in which case you could just pin them to one zip code as long as they are within a certain range of that zip code.

In areas where zip codes are unusually large (Alaska?) or unusually small (NYC?), you can substitute in some other chunk metric.

> Isn't this in itself a win for reducing distribution of CSAM? The content is already out of public view.

Making CSAM illegal isn't merely about preventing the material from being publicly visible. Having a ring of child abusers privately circulating CSAM outside of clearnet by using Tor or by exchanging thumb drives is just as damaging of an act to law enforcement agencies, because it means the market can still exist in a different environment. There will always be other ways to distribute CSAM, but what the law sees as within its reach in order to prevent the spread of CSAM to the greatest extent possible is to pressure companies that offer user data storage into increasing the amount of scanning for such material.

> you cannot sacrifice an entire population's rights to catch the relatively few bad actors.

Unfortunately this is a matter of public opinion, and there are many people out there that would argue instead that we need to give up some amount of privacy in order to better protect the human population.

> There's already companies that do offer E2EE encryption and there is no law requirements to scan for CSAM in the US.

What are the names of these companies? Are you sure there isn't a clause in their terms of service stating they will give up your data to law enforcement if requested, including the contents of encrypted files?

Even though there is no law compelling companies to scan for CSAM, the law is not going to let any of them store CSAM for an indefinite period of time. That would defeat the entire purpose of outlawing CSAM to begin with. Regardless of what's legally required of them, it's in the companies' best interests to ensure that the data stays off their servers. No matter what moral stance they take in deciding to implement CSAM scanning, they're not going to take the risk of being found criminally liable for the data they're storing.
Umm, perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm fairly certain that, at least in the US, it's always been fairly easy to obtain N95 masks, up until the pandemic. I realized I had a box of them lying around which my ex-girlfriend had purchased for painting.
Omg yes! AR was the pioneer of reading program SaaS in schools (they had a huge exit too). Epic Reading (more commonly used by kids today in schools) came after that - similar idea of gamification to encourage reading.

I definitely love the idea of gamification, the only thing I would add as feedback we have noted from parents is that Epic and AR would push kids to read 'fast' books within the Lexile range they had to stay in, rather than books that might be more interesting to them. The tests also weren't the greatest to measure comprehension because of their format. Having said that, I definitely love the idea of gamification inspired vey AR and we intend on having some of that in our program too!

I'm still grinning that you know and used AR! So cool.
Unfortunately companies know that it's vastly cheaper to frame the narrative around blaming personal responsibility and the employee for "not being tough enough / being unskilled at negotiating / bad at managing their free time" than to change a toxic work culture that demands increasingly more out of fewer and fewer staff.

I think so?

If I do it the "normal" way (repeating the [0, 1] interval infinitely many times), there are infinite times as many reals outside the [0, 1] interval as there are in it.

But that "infinite times" is a countable infinity - the number of integers. How does "the number of reals in [0, 1] times the number of integers" compare to "the number of reals in [0, 1]"? Are they the "same" infinity?

What if we use rationals instead of reals? We can do the same x 3 thing, right? But the number of rationals is countably infinite, and "3 times countably infinite" is the same as "countably infinite times countably infinite", isn't it?
I've built a couple NAS machines off Atom Mini-ITX boards, and in one case I supplied the mainboard and the two disks using a PicoPSU 12V adapter. Once the system accepts 12V, the UPS can be a car/motorcycle battery left inline as buffer, so that in case of blackout there's no switching involved.
Not compact as the Helios64 UPS, but it works and is less risky than having two Lithium cells near the drives.
I didn't try this configuration as my PicoPSU needed quite accurate 12V input, which the car batteries would exceed when fully charged, but their M3-ATX Automotive model accepts from 6 to 24 volts making ideal, as the name implies, for being supplied by a car battery.

Regarding the 5 bay storage, you can buy backplanes with pull out bays for 5*3.5 disks that would fit into 3*5.25 bays.
A search for "3 to 5 sata backplane" returns some products.

I’ve seen it in the field as pouring your heart and soul into something and it did love you back but the supreme goal was achieved so it’s difficult to continue. You’re just sort of detached from it all since you got to the top of the mountain and there’s nowhere to go but down. There just isn’t the space to continue doing it like it was and it burns you out. You can only look back on that moment there were love streams.

We can implement the function on a Turing machine. Whether we can prove that the function winds up being well-defined depends on which axioms we use. But if you allow transfinite induction up to ε0 (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_numbers_(mathematics)) we can prove that the function works correctly. And this statement can be made without any reference to the size of any uncountable infinities. (Indeed the argument can even be made constructively, within mathematical systems where everything is countable.)

Hang in there. I had to go through the Leetcode ordeal as well and it gets easier. It feels awful at first, but if you stick to it, read through the solutions, make sure you understand them, after 100 problems or so it all starts to come back and it becomes much easier. Its probably not the interview methodology I would use but I can see how efficient it is from the interviewer's POV.

Point of relating it to learned helplessness is that companies may structure their work, or assignments, or team structure, or culture, expectations etc in ways where employees feel nothing is getting accomplished, they have no autonomy, workload stacks up, and eventually they feel nothing they do can make the situation better.

They are not setup such that applying more effort causes workload or problems to get smaller, or where progress is made. They learn that the situation is helpless.

Now there's some fuzziness around whether this realization is maybe the end of the struggle for some, where they stop burning themselves out and just give up. But they would need options; quitting or having alternative employment to go somewhere else. If not, they'll be in a bad spot.

Dell on the other hand can be fixed, all on your own, with no support from dell. Other then the disassembly instructions that they will gladly give you in the owners manual. Try to get disassembly instructions from apple as a consumer. Go ahead, I'll wait.

> Is it worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to gamble that my new lower paying job is less stressful?

Worth it in what sense? You sound like you're trying to do a statistical and financially logical risk analysis. If you have burnout, that's just not an option. It sucks, but simply trying to do that math and somehow compare it to non-financial things that are important would probably take the help of a trained therapist.

So the answer is just going to vary.

If you are not on a path to burnout, who cares if the job is objectively stressful? Maybe you enjoy that environment and that's fine, in that context a logical financial analysis makes sense. Plenty of people are extremely happy and extremely successful in stressful high paying jobs, plenty of other people would happily make much less money if it means they get to spend more time with family, mentor, work for a non-profit they care about, do pro-bono work, switch fields, ... the list is long. People's motivations are complicated and I assume yours are too, or if they are not now that they are likely to become different as time goes on.

If you are on a path to burnout, the amount the job pays matters a lot less. Certainly if you can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars of theoretical future income the answer is comically obvious -- yes, it is worth it to find something more sustainable. I've never made half a FAANG salary when compared to people with similar experience and education at those places, and would still give up half my salary to avoid it. But I also don't think it's obvious whether you are on a path to burnout, you could try engaging a therapist to help make sure that you are tracking your feelings at regular intervals to see the derivative, but often it's even harder to see from the inside than it is from the outside (by which I mean friends/family more than work colleagues).

That said, money in the bank vastly reduces the stress that contributes to burnout, no question. Future earnings, not so much. Those are in the future, and imply that you will even be capable of continuing in the role you're in that long.

A serious analysis of future financial rewards and career options is a thing that is almost beside the point when you're actually dealing with burnout. Uncertainty about careers is more of a professional coach thing, if I had a professional coach suggest to me that I should do a back of the envelope calculation of how much money I stand to gain if I merely push myself to work for another year and then burn out I am walking out the door by the time they finish the sentence. It's just the wrong type of advice for the issue at hand.
> Here’s the rub: nobody I know or have seen has experienced a decline in their health from carnivore. There’s no hard evidence that it’s bad for you.

Carnivore Diet wasn't really a thing until about 2018, aside from scattered anecdotes ( https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=c... )

Heart disease develops over decades.

It's very disingenuous to declare that "there's no hard evidence that it's bad for you" when the vast majority of experimenters have barely been doing this for about 3-4% of their expected lifespan.

>Recognition isn't something people would always be able to immediately do with CSAM imagery so Apple, which has already created a tool to recognize it, can assist with that.

You said you didn't want Apple to be the police but you know want them to be the judge of what is and isn't CSAM?

>It can also create tools to reduce the overhead of reporting. If you make it easier to report, more people will do it. You're assuming that anyone that ever encounters CSAM would go out of their way to report it, which simply isn't true.

I don't know why you are assuming that potential reporters knowing about CSAM but not reporting it is anywhere close to as common as CSAM being unknown and therefore obviously unreported.

>My right to privacy is not an infringement of your rights so this argument has no bearing in reality. Law enforcement requires probable cause to get permission to surveil the population and there's been countless cases thrown out because of this violation, which, as it turns out, was even tested in the context of technology interfacing with NCMEC.

As the other reply stated, certain content does infringe on other people's rights. Also Apple isn't law enforcement. They don't need probable cause. One of the primary and unmentioned motivators here is that they don't want CSAM ending up on their servers and opening themselves up to legal action.

>Those people are also pushing the same false dichotomy that you are. There is no technical reason that this is required to enable E2EE for iCloud, it's purely speculation as to why Apple would roll this surveillance tool out, as a compromise to having a fully encrypted system.

It is a technical requirement once you accept the moral requirement that Apple doesn't want to enable the sharing of CSAM. Once again, you are ignoring that some people think the morality of enabling (or at least not curtailing) the sharing of CSAM is a moral failing that can't be accepted.
He's been right (approximately) on how fast the tech improves. That doesn't tell you anything about how likely he is to be right about the singularity, though, unless you think he actually has a handle on how much tech would have to improve to get us there, which means that he would have a handle on where "there" actually is, in technical terms. I don't see evidence that he (or anyone) has that.
Blockbuster (in the UK, at least) started doing DVDs-by-post since at least 2007 (probably earlier…) to compete with companies like LoveFilm that did DVDs-by-post since 2002: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoveFilm

Doing DVDs-by-post makes sense (makes cents?) because their mailing cost is negligible and library operations can likely be fully-automated - and low media-costs mean damaged, lost, and unreturned media won’t materially affect the business.

VHS-by-post, on the other hand, has issues:

* Large bulky media will cost far more to mail because it can’t be handled by existing postal equipment for letters/envelopes.

* Tape signal damage caused by EM fields - I don’t expect 1970s/1980s post office equipment to have much EM shielding.

* VHS picture quality is awful: people subscribed to HBO instead.

* Handling: DVD libraries are automated thanks to barcodes and robots - both of those things weren’t really ready to build a VHS-by-mail library. Not to mention needing to rewind tapes.
Please note, the statement "almost all reals are not rational" has nothing to do with cardinality.

It has to do with the fact that we can construct an open set of arbitrarily small size that includes every rational.

I was working at a philanthropic org funded by one of the Bay Area tech giants. The org was focused on science research and advocacy. But being neither a scientist nor activist, I was very far removed from whatever it is that our org did. My job was keeping the proverbial lights on. The combination of uninteresting work and being really peripheral within the org finally did me in.
I'm curious why you think previous infection is not better than Moderna. If we grant that Moderna is better than the vaccine used in the study in the OP, can it possibly be a factor of 6 better? a factor of 12? Those are the kinds of numbers they're seeing in this study. Admittedly it's not yet peer-reviewed and maybe those factors get watered down or thrown out, but if they don't, it would look like the difference between vaccine efficacies are down in the noise compared to the difference between any vaccine and natural immunity.
What is it with Americans and the naked body? Babies are supposed to be naked, it's not embarrassing.

The covid heroes are conflating a lot of issues (and subreddits): Yes, there are crazy people that believe the vaccine will start killing everyone in a few years. But the majority of people they are hating on in their primitive sense of doing good, are those who simply disapprove of the new normal. They are against lockdowns, masks, regular vaccine mandates and further symptoms of the ongoing covid hysteria. Those are all valid positions to hold.

This seems to be reddits peak do-gooder echo chamber moment.

If choose to organize your data using a relational model and then choose not to normalize that relational design you're doing it wrong.

Some of the benefits you get by doing proper normalized include:

* Avoids repetitive entries and duplicate data.

* Helps reduce the storage space required.

* Prevents the restructuring of the database to accommodate new requirements.

* Prevents the need for coding changes to accommodate new requirements.

* Increases the speed and flexibility of queries.

With a poorly normalized relational design you are throwing away the essence of the 'relational' model and
that 'relational' concept is right there in the name, RDMS.
