Yeah just intentionally drill the head so those screws are not coming out again without power tools which should be obvious in the open where they are deployed.

Or just epoxy the whole thing together.
What makes it seem like they’ve broken a lot of laws in a lot of jurisdictions with a lot of evidence?

Nobody here is claiming the Sacklers are good people, but being evil isn’t a crime. Nobody here seems to be able to point to a law they’ve broken and not been charged under.

Read the article, it's about general aviation, where you've got 1 or 2 phones in the plane, not commercial air traffic.

Not only does Sweden not have a language requirement for citizenship, the country has [no income, employment, or skills requirement](http://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/B...) either.

"Codifying a distinction between platform and publisher would require a place like HN to consider either shutting"

This is just false.

'Codifying' distinctions between various services would give places like HN even more clear protections by defining the terms in which they operate.

230 is a recipe for disaster, it's completely the opposite of Net Neutrality and is creating a cold war for information control.

It gives cover for Verizon, Amazon etc. to do whatever they like whenever they like.

'Codifying' the status of the various systems would mean ensuring those in the 'Verizon' category could not filter for anything other than QoS, clarifying terms for those like Amazon, and even distinguishing between different kinds of platforms like Facebook/Twitter an HN.

If the tables were turned on the types of information banned by Amazon, there would be outrage. I can only imagine if Bezos were 'an old Trump buddy' fudding with various customers here and there, what the loudest voices would be saying.

There's nothing arbitrary about these various forms of content and information distribution platforms, it wouldn't be that hard at all to clear things up and ensure fair access.

Combined with a 'User Bill of Rights' (aka right to delete accounts, full transparency on data usage etc.) it would be tremendous progress.

Today I got my chest x-rayed to search for a broken rib. When we looked at the x-rays, I was wondering how the hell someone could recognize anything there. The doctor didn't find anything and just said if it still hurts in 3 weeks, we'll do another one, maybe we missed it.

Same last year, when I clearly broke a rib: first x-rays revealed nothing, one week later a second set revealed a really nice oblique displaced fracture, which was still hard to find.

Today the tibia also got x-rayed and it was a pleasure to look at, but as soon as it has to do with the chest, where all the organs are messing with the x-ray, one can really hope that AI will finally solve this issue, since every city has a couple of doctors with x-ray machines, contrary to MRI/CTs.
Most people do not "deserve" bed space because most sickness is selfmade. People smoke, drink and eat too much, so they all deserve to die?

That's not how FAA certification works.

Boeing is 100% responsible for providing the correct documents to the FAA, and for their delegated quality reps (Boeing contractors) to verify the aircraft, not the FAA. Neither were done.

Now that the FAA has detected problems, it is their responsibility to improve their oversight. However, the FAA does not staff airline engineers to inspect mfgs. in general.

Epoxying the screws in might be easier?
They never will be. The ship sailed. They’re trying to increase engagement by having a mobile product/audience. But. The browser is a great tool for media consumption it turns out.
> "Codifying a distinction between platform and publisher would require a place like HN to consider either shutting down comments and submissions entirely or abandoning any efforts at moderation. It would suck, royally."

The "freedom of speech means any and all speech has to be allowed" strawman doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's perfectly possible to build a platform / publisher distinction where:

- Illegal speech is still illegal and can be rejected

- Speech irrelevant to the platform, like spam, verbal abuse, or demonstrably off-topic speech, can still be rejected by moderators while still permitting deplorable but legitimate speech.

So, no, it wouldn't be the ghastly, no moderation free-for-all that the anti-liberalism advocates try to scare people with.
No, from my experience, many people consider short reply to a long message a sort of dismissal of their effort, and if it uses slang it seems doubly offensive.
Yes, pre-filtering out the big stuff makes finer and more expensive filters last longer.

Interestingly, initially the captured particles actually make the filter capture finer particles in the future. The captured particles plug up the larger holes and themselves become part of the filter. Of course that doesn't last =)
So then you're boycotting Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Brave too?

If Firefox is being held to a different standard, then I'm afraid that practicality had to win out here. You can either have a pure and dead browser, or a live browser that can still fight winnable fights. (Or you can have a pure and live browser that doesn't play video, for your own use; Firefox still keeps this stuff at arm's length so you can disable it.)
It actually explicitly says “Apple does not track you”.

I think, in their mind, the difference is that they are using tour interaction on the device to display personalized content, rather than sending Apple identifiers and information to track you off your device.
We get really upset about drunk driving. Smoking indoors and in particular around kids. We're going to get similarly mad unvaccinated people taking others down with their Darwin Awards.
I'm happy someone made a comment like this.

I work an an AI company where we screen for Diabetic Retinopathy. The company is a decade old, and has validated in huge studies (over 100k patients). It's a hard problem that we have all worked very hard to solve it. At the same time, it's easy to build an AI tool that looks at an image and says healthy or unheathly (or poor quality image). So the bar is low for making something that is appears functional.

But hardly anyone makes good AI tools, so studies that look at different AIs systems see lots of the bad ones. It's always a bummer when the headlines are all dismissive of AI in general. Googling "diabetic retinopathy AI" the top result is "Artificial Intelligence Falls Short in Detecting Diabetic Eye Disease" (https://healthitanalytics.com/news/artificial-intelligence-f...), yet if you read the article it says one tool is better than humans, which to me, is the real takeaway.
covid is the excuse not the reason. but fun times for those at the top.
Easier than VHDL, harder than C. Chisel's "adder" example on the wikipedia page is:

class Add extends Module {
val io = IO(new Bundle {
val a = Input(UInt(8.W))
val b = Input(UInt(8.W))
val y = Output(UInt(8.W))
})
io.y := io.a + io.b
}

whereas the same in C would be

uint8_t Add(uint8_t a, uint8_t b) {
return a + b;
}

and while that is not directly usable in SystemVerilog, it can be mechanically translated to

function byte add(byte a, byte b)
return a + b;
endfunction

There's way more to it than that, but I strongly believe there are better ways of writing hardware than the existing HDLs.
If you can get away with using a drill on a keyboard and mouse covertly, I want to watch.
Honest question. What offense do I cause by using punctuation? The lack of it bothers me - it seems sloppy.

I tend to stay away from one word replies, and if I need to confirm use 10-4 or wilco. Are either of those offensive?
Pretty confidant that the odds of someone who works for a three letter agency responding to you here is much higher than most forums.
I was reading JP Morgan’s Wikipedia and found this fascinating story I didn’t even know about. I was surprised at how closely it mirrored the 2008 housing crisis/bank bailout. There is truly nothing new under the sun, just the same scams and mistakes repeated.
I encourage revisiting #4 and considering the question "Why was that lawn being mowed?". Unexpectedly, it's Florida rather than Texas, where such a shooting would have been considered lawful and just (in Texas).
Good luck with those and that size screw.

>...suggests that private companies have some kind of first ammendment[sic] obligation.

Yes. private companies have the obligation to protect their first amendment rights, as part of their obligation to their investors/owners to maximize profit.

Claiming that private companies has some sort of obligation to you by allowing you a platform for your speech without interference or moderation assumes that such private entities have no first amendment rights.

That's obviously false.

If private entities (which you and I and most everyone else) are required to host the speech of others whether they agree with such speech or not, then I can use the same argument for me being able to come over to your house and play gay, furry, midget, scheiser porn on all your screens, project it on the exterior of your house and you have to allow it. If you don't, you're infringing on my first amendment rights.

Which is, of course ridiculous on its face. Whether it's a screen in your home or a server in one of Facebook's data centers, the principle is the same.
WiFi in the title is clearly a clickbait.
Yes, but when disagreements occur, it's hard to make AI systems "talk" and convince one another
Maybe I'm just used to the northern climate. Wild. It's nothing near that up here even when the growth is at its height.
the Metron repo is on my Github but it's a horrendous embarassing mess.
I have no idea why everyone tries to solve the hardest problem (true positives, no false positives) with machine learning, instead of solving the much easier problem (true negatives, no false negatives) that often delivers similar value.

E.g. If a system could tell me which 967 results out of 1000 are normal, and send the other 33 for human review.

True positives require solving every problem in the solution space. True negatives only require solving the most frequent problems.
I do at least! But.. no one will kill me :(
How can a period completely change the meaning of a message? Especially a message that is just "Ok", with or without the period?
Here's how I avoid any appearance of a negative tone:

Before I try to correct an error, or ask for anything, I always preface it with "Thanks a lot for <replying, doing something previously, I agree with X, etc...>"
And it's mostly a proof-of-concept so don't expect much :)
I don't really agree that 1-3 are on point.

The quote from the judge in 3 makes it clear that the woman in question was never charged with a criminal offense, and in fact chose to sit in a jail for 6 hours in lieu of paying a civil fine.

As for the other two cases - the issues started with the lawn upkeep, yes, but the criminal aspect slips in for unrelated reasons. In #1, it's not clear exactly why contempt charges came into play, and it's quite unusual (and in many jurisdictions, not legal) to charge someone with criminal contempt for simple refusal to pay a civil fine...which leads me to believe there's something key being omitted here. In #2, it seems like the guy would have been fine keeping an unkempt lawn had he not explicitly violated a previous probation agreement; this isn't a situation that applies to the average person.
“Ok” to me is just acknowledgement of the message. It should not be seen as negative, just neutral.
More than just an an echo chamber, a pressure cooker designed to ratchet up over time. It rewards extreme opinions, normalizes them, then cyclically rewards even more extreme options that break the new norm.
Things like right to privacy, the right to not be arbitrarily excluded from services esp. for things like political views, the 'right to be forgotten', transparency in terms of information sharing, clarity in billing, the right to delete accounts permanently, etc. etc..

I think such a thing is actually more important than the monopolizing issues of the FAANGS. Breaking them up might be a little nice, but as individuals we're beholden to the incredible gatekeeping of industry.
We’re at the prototypes and proof of concept stage for that sort of thing.

Optimistically, it’s just about possible in principle if you don’t mind paying SpaceX to expand by a few orders of magnitude. But I don’t think anyone will be very happy with even one gigawatt of orbital lasers, no matter how much the satellite owner insists (possibly even accurately and with reference to the laws of physics) that it can’t be turned into a death ray.

(And if you can use beamed power safely from orbit, with emphasis on safely, why not use the same beamed power horizontally at ground level around the world? Power at night from space implies an orbital-to-ground distance comparable to planetary radius).
I use the USB connection every day to do iOS development. A high bandwidth reliable wired link is a very nice thing to have for dev.
> A period can completely change the meaning of a message.

That's in your mind, unless you think your manager is one of the people who believes in Aggressive Periods. I've read the claim that periods are fraught with meaning many times, and yet I've never actually seen one used that way.

Unless, of course, you meant something more like "OK。。。".
The perceived wrong doing isn’t that they sold drugs, but rather that they intentionally lied about the properties of their drugs.

You can run a pot shop legally in Washington state but you cannot lie about what you are selling. Is that not one of the arguments for legalization of drugs in the first place? With legalization the drugs can be regulated and monitored for quality, purity, etc…
Ok, so other people who do different things from me would be hypocrites if they tried to make the same points I'm making. That's entirely true, such as the idiotic moral posturing of Google employees who throw tantrums at the idea of taking money from the DoD while also doing their best to figure out who's pregnant before they themselves know it. I just don't see how it's a relevant response to my position on billionaires.
Docker Desktop, I mean. I personally haven't ever used the GUI except to deal with their new autoupdate prompts. I, and many others, just need something to set up the VM and orchestrate things so that `docker` in my terminal does as expected when I'm using my work-issued Mac. On Linux this is a non-issue, yes.
> Or worse: “Ok.” A period can completely change the meaning of a message.

I must have offended legions of people.

I suppose "Ack" (short for Acknowledged) is also offensive?
Because you can make good money by migrating the customers java project once each year.
I agree with the implication of the title. The article is also anti-Trump, though anti-Trump != anti-right.

Although Mozilla does take an ideological position on some issues, I have not yet seen any mechanisms within the browser that favor one side of the partisan divide, intentionally or practically. I can't say it'll never happen, but Mozilla has been even-handed so far, and I'm sure there's not a lot of appetite to piss off any large contingents.
You have to be careful with this (see also the comment by user "akomtu" in this thread).

When you know the subject already and you are just adding more on top, it may be helpful to reduce the new ideas to Keypoints/Keywords and hang the details off of them in memory. But when you are new to the subject you do not as yet know what to omit and what to keep; you are making a judgement call during "condensation" and thus it behooves us to be careful so as to not lose the core ideas which is bound to happen if you try to "compress" too much.
I think you mean "teledildonics."

Every major power has stealth drones for this exact purpose.

There is no reason for the drone to only fly at 10km. It can fly at 15-20km.
I didn't do this when I bought my place 20 years ago. I looked for houses I liked and could afford near where I worked. Being single, school districts were not as much of a concern, though that would probably be the biggest factor for families and a big driver for house price.

I was admittedly heavily biased by where I lived before, because I am used to that area, which seems to be true of my friends, independent of where they actually work.

Maybe this is just the Bay area. For me at the time Palo Alto and Menlo Park were too expensive, so I was looking in Mountain View, Sunnyvale or Redwood City. Fortunately for me Mountain View has gotten a bit nicer in that time.

I read a page years ago mentioning in detail the enormous number of well-known 20th C figures inspired or called-to-action by Chesterton. Can't find it now, but this mentions a few -

https://thefinalprojectchesterton.wordpress.com/the-influenc...

Hitchcock, C.S. Lewis, Tolkein, Orwell, EF Schumacher etc. Maybe most remarkably, Chesterton's 1909 essay on Indian self-determination/nationalism gave Gandhi the idea of fighting for it himself.

I've never thought his fiction compared at all with his non-fiction. A bit like Werner Herzog in that way–they're so good, fascinating, skillful at interpreting the real world in their works, it's a shame when their skills are restricted to a made-up story. Yet people often act as if Stevenson only wrote fiction, or Nietzsche's best is Zarathustra, or Chesterton's best The Man Who Was Thursday!

(I've only read a small part of his huge output.. but) My favourite of his books maybe is Heretics, on some contemporary trends and errors of thought—Shaw, Nietzsche, Tolstoy, nihilism etc. It's just brilliant, and very funny, like most of his stuff, though more so. Endlessly re-readable. Also What's Wrong with the World. His Autobiography. Full of wonderful bits.

Most of his books are collections of his newspaper articles, some good, some amazingly good. All worth reading. All Things Considered, Alarms and Discursions, Come to Think of It, All is Grist etc.

There are a series of biographies, all of remarkable penetration. Stevenson, Shaw, Blake, St Francis, St Thomas etc. As if biography was his unique gift. He somehow gets inside his subjects to an astounding degree. Varied Types has about 15 short pieces on contemporary/recent figures, e.g. the first is on Charlotte Brontë.

I love the first half of Orthodoxy—before it (unsurprisingly) gets too Christiany. I find his usual brilliant arguments often turn into very lazy, stupid ones where his religion is the topic. But every writer has their blind spots.

An example of GKC being very funny while very serious: Even The Everlasting Man, about Jesus, has its moments of brilliance (from my atheist perspective). From its first chapter The Man in the Cave, about our prejudices vs what we actually know about early humans:

'So far as any human character can be hinted at by such traces of the past, that human character is quite human and even humane. It is certainly not the ideal of an inhuman character, like the abstraction invoked in popular science. When novelists and educationists and psychologists of all sorts talk about the cave man, they never conceive him in connection with anything that is really in the cave. When the realist of the sex novel writes, "Red sparks danced in Dagmar Doubledick's brain; he felt the spirit of the cave-man rising within him," the novelist's readers would be very disappointed if Dagmar only went off and drew large portraits of cows on the drawing-room wall.'
"This person" is a deep learning researcher who knows they aren't going to be able to do it with cameras alone. I want them to learn some humility and refund $10K to people, not deliver it per se. I myself didn't pay for "FSD" on my Tesla, of course.
It depends on the message. A longer form message with punctuation is fine. In short messages, the period is read as an aggressive sudden stop.
Can your bespoke ship get into a container port to unload, though?
One of the most enjoyable pieces I've read in some time. Stepping back to take perspective and adding a touch of comedy, I was hooked after the first paragraph.
finishing it with the anecdote of "so I tried my new fangled plan of convincing a person, and then they still wern't convinced" somewhat nullifies the author's entire point
The problem is not the charging. The problem is that a fake charger cable can run an HID attack over the +/- pins before it does a pass through to the power negotiation MCU for charging.

A tampered USB C to C cable on a conference room table can compromise people all day long.

If the USB C charge ports cut the data pins entirely then great, but I have not seen that be the case on any laptops yet.
This is awesome. I wonder what several generations of selective breeding could do to the speech capabilities of different animal species. It would be very funny to see animals communicating to other animals using simple phrases like the ones Hoover could utter.

5 states have fewer than 10% of their ICU beds remaining. The public death rate of victims who receive treatment when necessary has virtually no relation with the reality of "number of people requiring medical care > medical care available". If those 5 states weren't doing even the minimum of vaccines/distancing/masking that they're doing today, they would be at 0% capacity, without question.

Definitely what Australia is doing is too much, but opening everything and leaving it to individual choices is an incomprehensibly bad position.
