Bing and DuckDuckGo are the same, which is why they seem to show similar results. DuckDuckGo has some other features on top of that, but is based on Bing.

What's the point in differentiating? They at best deluded themselves with a slightly different brand of anti-vax propaganda. Do we need a separate term?

The kind answer is that some people like to host parties, not just attend them.

A real answer for many subs is they enjoy the power of getting to decide who gets to say what.
More (interesting!) flaws of the 42 minute calculation are shown here: https://www.livescience.com/50312-how-long-to-fall-through-e...

This approximation accounts for non-uniform density of the earth:

> Klotz based his calculations on the internal structure of the planet as determined from seismic data. While the Earth's crust has a density less than about 187 lbs. per cubic foot (3 grams per cubic centimeter), Earth's center has a density of about 811 lbs. per cubic foot (13 grams per cubic centimeter). The density of the planet does not rise in a straightforward manner the farther down one goes — there is a sharp 50 percent increase in density at the boundary of the planet's mantle and its outer core about 1,800 miles (2,900 km) below Earth's surface.

> Now, using a more realistic model of the Earth, Klotz finds the fall would take only about 38 minutes and 11 seconds, about 4 minutes faster than thought.
The person you are responding to did not denigrated anything.

He responded to claim that if someone does not like those messages, then he "take himself too seriously". The response simple explained that author find those jokes unfunny.

As you said, humor varies from culture to culture, generation to generation, family to family, and person to person. That implies that not liking some kind of humor is completely valid sentiment.
I don't think GDPR has failed. In fact, there have bern multiple times where I have been happy that it exists, since I knew that companies were limited in their ability to save data about me.
That's step 2, don't worry about that. Focus on step 3, the profit!
This should be much higher up !
I'm afraid that red line is it. The gaming industry spoiled us, giving us so many weird "simulators". This thing would be called "red line simulator" on Steam, and would likely still sell well.
You compare the vaccine to birth control to dismiss the risks of the vaccine, however birth control is taken by sexually active and mature women.

That is people who have a real probability risk and want to avoid getting pregnant. You don't give birth control to 10 year old girls or to boys.

In the OP’s case his sister was in the low risk category (quite young). So its not obvious that a priori the vaccine outweighed the risks. Nor is it obvious that the young have a moral responsibility to to society to take on a personal risk to ameliorate a risk that doesn't affect them (this is unlike a defensive war where, presumably, the defending youth will also suffer devastation if their country is overrun)

This happens with products all the time. Strictly "shrink-flation" of consumer goods is the same thing.

One industrial vendor we once partnered with took a product P that had speed S and accuracy A, discontinued that product and replaced with product P1 which was speed S/10 and accuracy A paired with product P2 which was speed S and accuracy A/10. The original P products were precious if you could find them.

A healthy personality doesn't do this. (though that does also mean… a healthy personality doesn't end up being the biggest winner, gold-medal holder, best at what they do)

If your inner voice is that you MUST win or die trying, that's probably not the authentic inner voice, which is more naive, child or animal like, and won't understand why if it's hurting it shouldn't pull back from the flame. I do wonder whether there are guys (typically but not always guys) whose hormonal dissatisfaction and brain chemistry are so biased towards being unable to rest or go along, that they're set up to burn themselves out just following their natural drives and organic sense of what's fitting.

If so, that would count as a condition like ADHD where the brain chemistry is naturally serving as an obstacle, and the authentic inner voice needs a bit of guidance to better serve the overall person. Just because our deepest selves react a certain way doesn't always make it right.
Or... maybe that's how we will become if we are constantly fed this type of content ?

Technically GDPR (and other similar regulations) do already require compliance notifications to be non-obtrusive, or at least rejecting consent to be no more difficult than accepting it.

Unfortunately that isn't adequately enforced so everyone gets away with making it a massive pain to reliably opt-out and very easy to accidentally permanently opt-in.

Quite nice.

So basically you have do_input() that can read from keyboard and do_output(x) that can print to screen. But you can't read from do_input to a variable because of reasons of purity I guess.

So you "chain" the functions with bind(do_input(),do_output()).

I guess they explained it very verbosely. A lot of the explanation was quite good, for example why some naive ideas don't work. Some of it was a bit annoying repetition.
> The Department of Agriculture, for instance, said it wants to use it to monitor live surveillance feeds at its facilities and send an alert if it spots any faces also found on a watch list.

Ah yes, nothing dystopian about the fucking Department of Agriculture keeping watch lists.
A recent Typhoon (one of the half dozen that hammered China) refilled all their reservoirs about a month or so ago.

The one thing that complicates economics is that it's not a linear equation like they teach in Macroeconomics. The equations are more or less "true" in a vague sense but each term is actually a differential equation term in both time and other quantities.

If you are familiar with simple one variable ODEs per STEM undergrad courses, imagine the 2nd order forms but now those exist across many variables and time spans. It makes you realize that CNBC is just pulling causes/effects and making predictions out of their asses.
> I wonder what the end game is for some of those businesses.

The end game is often an annual bonus for a decision maker at the business that doesn't think they will be there in 2 years when there might be fallout. The incentive is short term gain for me, I wouldn't be here in the long run so whey should I care about the long run.
This. I have a gut feeling that a lot of mining rigs were bought with credit and haven’t paid for themselves yet. Those rigs will find a new asset to mine rather than being dumped. Outlawing mining is the only thing I see that causes prices to move downward

It's "all" that people are objecting to.

At my day job, we make a web application for health records that can be deployed inside an air-gapped intranet. Surely you don't think that's feeding a marketing engine?
The US wastes $150,000,000,000 a year (the most per capita in the world) in pushing paperwork directly because of our “competing” individual insurance provider model [1]. The US spends the most overall per capita by far on healthcare, while also not even covering all residents. Despite having poor health outcomes and lower life expectancy, the US is the leader in expensive diagnostic imaging and prescription drugs [2]. Its almost like the “competing” private insurance model creates large amounts of wasted effort in trying to extract profit, as well as perverse incentives to push high profit interventions while ignoring actual health outcomes.

> In countries where hospitals receive global, lump-sum budgets, garnering operating funds requires little administrative work. Per-patient billing, on the other hand, requires additional clerical and management staff and special information technology systems. In countries where there are multiple payers, as in the United States, billing is even more complex, since each hospital must negotiate payment rates separately with each payer and conform with a variety of requirements and billing procedures.

> Higher spending appeared to be largely driven by greater use of medical technology and higher health care prices, rather than more frequent doctor visits or hospital admissions…Despite spending more on health care, Americans had poor health outcomes, including shorter life expectancy and greater prevalence of chronic conditions… Even though the U.S. is the only country without a publicly financed universal health system, it still spends more public dollars on health care than all but two of the other countries…

Depends, if you are going right through the earth's core it will probably be forever impossible (though maybe someone in materials science knows more than me?). However if you are trying to go closer to the surface it is possible today, it isn't the most direct route, but on the other hand you probably want to pop up every once in while anyway. New York to eastern LA is only a question of economics, we have the technology, and you would want to have a station several cities along the way as long as you are digging so the tunnel wouldn't go deep. Note that I said eastern LA, you can't get too far west without crossing a major fault line and that is not something I think we can handle. (I'm not aware of any fault lines on the rest of the path, but they would stop this tunnel - I wouldn't be surprised if someone pointed one out)

I'm curious, what kind of tools and processes do you use to test that the webapps/website work on so many platforms?
I recommend expanding your web search just a little farther... 90 WPM is not considered "very, very high"!

90 WPM is ok, certainly above average. But please don't take it personally, I was just scrolling through the comments and saw what I thought was a typo, and if not, thought I'd share my perspective. 120WPM can be considered "fast".

If 90 WPM is "very, very fast" then what about those at 120 or 150?
There wasn't a Fortran-80 standard, but there was a Fortran-80.

Kind of like how there isn't a C# 2005 standard. That's a specific dialect of C# associated with a commercial compiler. The closest standard is the C# 4th edition ISO standard, which covers a subset of C# 2005's features. But it's still OK to refer to C# 2005 as a thing.

I think that this is a useful distinction to make in Fortran-land. I haven't used any of these old Fortran compilers, but my understanding is that they were all significantly different and more-or-less mutually incompatible. The Fortran standard had a minimal standard library, so things like what functions you had available for string manipulation depended more on the compiler you used.

Right, the ML processing is competitive in nature, just like the crypto mining is. Much of it also rests on illegal activity that just hasn't been discovered yet, whether overtly illegal (like botnets sloshing around ad money under fraudulent pretenses) or just mild to moderately illegal, like prima facie unauthorized database usage or use of scraped data. There are also uses of data that are illegal if it comes from US citizens and ?? if they are non-US citizens. Just because the government is collectively a fat slug when it comes to law enforcement in these areas doesn't mean the laws aren't on the books.

That too! I once received the wrong item from Hudson's Bay (Canadian everything store, think Sears) and not only had to physically go back to the store to get a refund because they wanted 8$ in shipping to let me send it back, they would not reimburse the shipping cost even after admitting that it was 100% their fault that they sent me the wrong item.

I don't want a future dominated by mega-corp with 99% market share but traditional retail need to get their shit together at some point.
Cars cost tens of thousands of dollars, so I think they should be somewhat entitled to use whatever tech they want. I’m more upset at every fridge and light bulb and oven having WiFi.

I use Sailfish on a Sony Xperia XA2, as well as an iPhone and Android phone.

The Sailfish UI far outclasses those other two. It's simple, consistent, and pretty. That's all one can ask for! And it's familiar Linux underneath, with easy access through SSH - no rooting required. This is the phone that everyone else wants, whether they realize it or not...

In comparison, I find iOS annoyingly inconsistent and obtuse. Android is straightforward, but feels like a step backward.

I just wish Jolla had bigger investors, and more developers. It's really a breath of fresh air in the claustrophobic (and increasingly dystopic) mobile landscape...

The original statements of vaccine efficacy were also not stratified in that way, were they? With delta you arrive at ~39% relative risk reduction of preventing a positive PCR (instead of >95%) and ~59% relative risk reduction of preventing hospitalisation. That would also be true if you randomly drew people from the population and conducted a study, no? Of course it still can mean that your individual benefit is much higher.

My first job out of college (undergraduate) was working for a small consulting firm that did a lot of work in this area for the petrochemical industry and their suppliers. The owner had a PhD in decision sciences (statistics) and he did consulting work on statistical process control (SPC). This was my first exposure to this field and was so fascinated by it that after working there for a year, I quit my job so that I could go back to school full time and pursue a Masters degree in this area, but with focus on management information systems (MIS). Ironically, my work after graduate school has never touched on SPC or quality control.

It's unfortunate that Deming (and many others) never really got the attention that their methods deserved.
First impression is that its 'oh it looks like bitclout'. Really neat, love it!

You can't just give anabolic steroids or testosterone to men of fertile age because it causes testicular shrinkage, prolactin level rises (risks of breast development), and risks strokes and infarctions.

But this is not the problem. I would not have any problem with a 100% russian OS, as long as it was OSS. But Sailfish is also not OSS. That is the problem.
It has to be said that if you are more worried about Russian involvement than you would be Britain, the US, or China you might be ethnist.
Still an anecdote...

And, no qualms of conscience there at all?
> when in fact datacenter after datacenter is being stuffed to the brim with chips for ML workloads.

I don't see this at all. All these GPUs for non gaming use are a tiny drop in the ocean in comparison to the mainstream market.
It won't if people realize that BTC is not a useful product, and the price falls to $1k or $100. At that point no one except someone stealing electricity can afford to mine, so the entire monetary system collapses and becomes worth the same as US Civil War dollars (can maybe buy a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow full?)
Is Vivaldi not worth tracking?
>The issue is that crypto mining is the only system designed to have negative marginal utility for each GPU consumed. It literally pays people to take energy and GPUs away from the open market for zero incremental gain to the network.

That's because the utility is not in processing transactions but the 'security' of the blockchain, which is funny considering the most of these blockchains are still looking for a use case that justifies their market cap and yet still run into performance limitations processing transactions.
Yes, the Android layer can run Whatsapp and Signal. I also run Firefox as an apk on it, I use the last v68 version of that.

The Android layer is only available on the commercial version, and only on officially supported device. It has been available since 2013 on the original Jolla 1, which was for me the reason to upgrade from a Nokia N9.

For me it is stable on my XA2. Though the software is made by a small company and their efforts are spread relatively thin. They don't have thousands of developers working on their mobile OS.

For Android apps, the bluetooth stack of Android and Linux/Bluez is different, and the middleware called libhybris does not support offering bluetooth to Android apps. It might come in the future, many people in the community wish it to come available. There are many native apps, and there might not be that much need for all kinds of Android apps. Also, there is talk about offering Android support for community devices, like the Sony Tama devices (high end, small form factor) or Xiaumi devices.
There are no small players, only the big ones. The machines they use cost $300m and then comes the expertise needed.
I think beds and staff are repurposed when demand wanes? Closing beds and firing staff could be the interpretation of this but I don't think it shows the whole story.
The anti-vaxxine crowd has never had any problem with cherry picking the statistics that they can twist to show their view. I've been watching them do it for at least 10 years (and evidence they have been doing it longer), but only now is the rest of the public seeing it. I have just enough statistics to see what they are doing, but it is complex enough that most people don't understand it.

Just to give you a bit of background on my request I work in banking and specifically validating models. We generate a lot of paperwork for the tests we perform on the models for the regulators.

Being the results of the test reproducible is a pretty neat feature that's why having a way to store the analyzed data in a standard way would be good, if the data is too big and for some situations at least having a way to check that the data has not change could be enough, that's why the hash.

Finally, this is a problem being tackled now in my area and I have seen 4 or 5 big companies demoing solutions to solve the problem.

Thanks and good luck!
Why is this not fraud?

If you as a company source a device for reviewers and then change the specs in a way that you do not communicate, that is intent to defraud.

If you bought a corvette because all the car reviews said it went 0-60 in 5 seconds, and then you buy one and it takes 10 seconds to do the same thing, you’d have a pretty good argument - especially if everyone else experienced your same situation.

I’d be surprised if a class action suit or FTC investigation doesn’t happens within the next year.

Yeah I thought the whole point of Alpine was that it abandoned the insanity of glibc for the relative sanity of musl.

You can only see the UI of Web apps, and tracking is super easy with marketing engines.

No one asks you to download native apps for desktop platforms, unless it is some Electron garbage for whatever reason, usually for stuff that is available to PWAs anyway.

All ask for native apps on mobile, because development just sucks less.

Whatever, it is great that people believe Web apps are so safe with their data, more fun when creating analytics rules.
