> But why? Why give away any money which you could take? Is it due to Amazon believing in morals(which is seemingly absent in the way they treat their own employees)?

F-ck no. It's because they don't want to end up in the news, getting called out for hosting that stuff. From the OP:

> Activists and human rights groups are increasingly holding not just websites and apps accountable for harmful content, but also the underlying tech infrastructure that enables those sites to operate, while political conservatives decry the curtailing of free speech.

Last week there was a Washington Post article about how they were hosting an ISIS website that celebrated the recent Kabul suicide bombing, and earlier this year they were getting flak for hosting Parler. They probably want to prevent that from happening again, or at least have something better to say when they get in the news for it.
He can defeat just about anything, but he’s also exceptionally skilled. As a consumer of locks, I expect them to be defeatable by a skilled lockpicker. But I don’t expect them to be defeatable by a bic pen or by reaching in the keyhole with an oddly shaped wire to move the locking paul.

You can buy locks that don’t have easy bypasses, and can’t be easily drilled, and can’t be picked by beginners.
The other thing I didn't mention in my original post is Garmin watches are _meant_ to be used disconnected from the phone and internet, whereas the designers of the iWatch and Android watches assume you universally have a cell signal.

Because support matters to you, and Java 17 is the newest LTS release. (For particular apps, there may be an “ability to use newer features” reason, but for many “not using an out of support platform” will be the compelling reason.)

Federal agencies will use the VMS tracking devices to monitor boats’ movements and whereabouts on the water, even when they are not using their federal permits to fish... It contends that these agencies are mandating an unlawful and unconstitutional 24-hour GPS surveillance regime without a warrant.

I spent a few summers as a camper/credit student at the Finnish language village (I assume it’s the same set of language villages you taught at), which is where the Swedish camp was (is?) after the Finnish sessions were complete. One of the Finnish counselors stayed on and learned enough Swedish during the one-week break between Finnish and Swedish camps to be able to muddle through being a Swedish camp counselor!

The French Voyageur program looked super fun, they stopped by our camp for some soccer, dinner, and sauna once, had a great time with them.

Apple's recent CSAM announcement does not use PhotoDNA. Apple is not using PhotoDNA's hashes. Apple is using a different system called NeuralHash.

NCMEC operates like a roach hotel: CSAM goes in, and it only goes out to law enforcement. I am 99% certain that Apple never received CSAM material from NCMEC for training. While Apple's people may have sat in NCMEC's building for meetings, I doubt they were ever shown any actual CSAM. I've been told that NCMEC used a tool by Apple to create hashes for NeuralHash. The hashes are based on some number of "the most common" CSAM content. (In the past, "the most common" was around 30,000 files.)

In effect, Apple may not know what is in their trained data set. However, researchers (not me) are already looking for ways to extract data from the libraries. I think it's only a matter of time before this becomes a much bigger problem.

Vaccines are very effective at reducing the death rate but when making comparisons between countries or states we also have to adjust for population demographics. Florida has a median age of 42 whereas in Israel it's only 30. And more importantly Florida has 21% of the population over age 65 whereas in Israel it's only 12%. We know that age is a huge risk factor.
>You can't seriously believe a significant component of Earth atmosphere can change by that without effect

Do you believe that CO2 is a significant component of Earth's atmosphere? Can you tell me exactly what percentage of the atmosphere is CO2?

Also, what do you mean "it ain't fertilizer" at > 400ppm. All life on earth evolved at a time when CO2 was 10 times what it is today, which is why greenhouse operators pump the exhaust from their gas heaters into the greenhouse. Plant's grow much faster when CO2 is increased dramatically. Ideally a greenhouse operator want 4 times as much CO2 in their greenhouse as in the outside environment. The recommendation is 1500ppm for maximum plant growth.
This shows clear ignorance of what radiologists do, it's like a fish telling someone how to improve land transportation.

For some reason CS people fixate on radiology for automation just because it is imaging, but there's a lot of context behind it. There's a reason a radiologist/pathologist is called a doctor's doctor, and no one in the field is worried about automation.

For perspective: Training to be a radiologist is 5+1 years, your family doc trains for 3.

> I mean, how would you even spent 150 hours a year maintaining a tiny suburban lawn? Are you cutting it with a toenail clipper? Huh? That's almost 3 hours a week, dude.

A quarter acre of St Augustine grass in Georgia produces about 5-10 of those 30 gallon yard waste bags full of grass clippings each week at the height of the growing season. The clippings cannot remain on the grass or they will kill it. It takes approximately 5 hours a week to maintain such a yard.

Similarly in the fall, the trees will produce similar amounts of leaves each week that also cannot remain on the grass or they will kill it.

Satelite "internet"? All I have read about is the ability to send emergency text messages. The author goes on a tirade about how you can't browse Bloomberg with a 256kbps internet. Straw man much?

> As per GlobalStar, they are capable of up to 256kbps (32Kbps). This is with optimal, unobstructed conditions and high power and gain antennas.

For text messages, even 256 bps is more than enough, hell, even 2 bps is usable for that.

> The source of this rumor is from Ming Chi Kuo

Ignores that the linked article from Bloomberg does not rely on Ming Chi Kuo and is much more concrete than just "the modem supports a frequency".

> Globalstar believes that over half their revenue will come from terrestrial spectrum licencing.

...

> The most likely path forward, and the one that Globalstar proclaims themselves, is licensing this spectrum for use on a terrestrial basis

...

> The recent meteoric rise in Globalstar’s stock price is almost entirely unwarranted.

??? If you're claiming that the new frequency in Iphones is for terrestrial use, then that validates Globalstar’s own strategy, so how is it unwarranted?

I once saw a PC security case where instead of the lock cylinder retracting a bolt, it turned a screw thread and opened the case by about half a millimeter. It took the guy unlocking it a good fifty turns to get the PC out of it.

And there were two - one on each side. What's more, it was a tubular lock, so if you were single-pin picking you'd have to pick it 5 times per rotation.

Nothing that would stand up to a battery powered angle grinder, of course.

I'm with @greazy on this one. The assumption made is that a set of labeled images is enough. Was the training set validated against a diagnosis based on biopsy of some kind? I.e. the images that were trained on, marked by some radiologist (more likely multiple radiologists), how were they validated to contain cancer or be cancer free? Did someone follow up a few years later and confirm the diagnosis was correct?

Also, different modalities will produce different quality images, how was that accounted for in training models? Did they use all the images for a single scan or a subset of the images of a single scan?

The problem is you're trying to train a model where you have many images for a single scan, like slices. Depending on the modality, you'll get different resolutions, different "visual" inclusions, etc. etc. So labeling the individual images and labeling the entire collection is really hard.

I think my point is that mammograms are a (relatively) easy to solve problem using today's technology. Why wouldn't it be worthwhile to solve that problem such that it has very limited human involvement?

It's the reason professional baseball is experimenting with electronic strike detection, despite the fact that umpires are very accurate (~94%) calling pitches.

I get that there are useful applications of AI that could augment a radiologist. I'm simply pointing out that if one could completely remove a radiologist from the equation, that could be a super helpful tool. I suppose my view is that removing/limiting the human element in routine inspections is a very worthwhile goal.

There's also the side benefit of increasing trust for these technologies. I think a lot of people are rightfully scared of AI technologies; showing that they can be as effective as a radiologist for routine screenings would be very beneficial.
Good.

Now we need to get the banks to close the accounts of the creators, the computer makers to stop selling hardware to them or brick it remotely and the utilities to disconnect them.

This would be much simpler if we had a list to put people on so that we could automate the steps.

This is false. Most people will take advantage of any situation where they detect a low enough chance of consequences, regardleas of who is hurt. We act good because we don't want to be caught, embarrassed, or convicted and condemned.

Reddit literally destroyed independent forums. That's such a huge swath of the internet and they effectively have a monopoly. Additionally, they top Google results for so many different subjects. I don't understand why they can't monetize that more.

They shouldn't also need to half heartedly try to compete with Discord. They should drill down on what they excel at.

Even though I am a daily Reddit user, it's mostly because there are no other alternatives. I definitely would not buy their stock.

The majority didn't enter the Capitol, and the majority haven't been charged with anything. If your assertion is that people are being arrested and charged with simply being there the actual criminal charges levied prove otherwise[0,1]. People who have been accused of committing actual crimes are being charged for those crimes.

>And neither of these charges justifies holding a political prisoner for 6+ months without trial, as the US government has done.

They aren't political prisoners. They aren't being persecuted for their political beliefs. Most people charged are out on bail, and the ones who aren't are the ones charged with serious crimes.

Yeah, the Dutch are usually quite English proficient and happy to speak English with you. I was reasonably conversant, and could read a newspaper when I was there 6 years ago. I only spoke Dutch with a few immigrants, and some folks who I let talk while I answered simple questions. As soon as I hit a word with a tricky "g" sound they would switch to English, sometimes mid sentence. It was quite impressive how quickly my mispronunciation identified me as a native English speaker.

That's too simplistic. It's very hard to keep minority languages alive, even if you really desperately want to, when you're immersed in a majority language.

The Irish language is in danger even in the Gaeltacht areas where native Irish speakers live, because English is everywhere. Tech is almost exclusively English, most jobs are English-only, most media is in English (not to mention ads on YouTube), most news and politics happens in English (the primary sources at least), all the packaging on everything you buy is in English, it's much easier to find a solicitor who speaks English-legalese than Irish-dlítheanga, your kids pick up English from TV and life.

Before you know it, you and many of your acquaintances are a bit rusty, and conversations happen in English more and more. The language declines, and it's not what you wanted.

If you are European and have good skill-sets, you are welcome. But if you are not European, you have to be special enough such for the company hiring you to be able to justify that there is no-one else in the EU that can do the job you are applying to.

This is probably best understood as an advanced adaptation to the particular difficulties of deploying into a walled garden. That's certainly how the author frames it. The similarity with web comes because of shared restrictions (untrusted client application, deep server side data, document based layout). The differences come from the proprietaryness of app ecosystems-- the taint of unfreedom propagating from the platform into an app-specific DSL.
