It feels a little on the nose. I clicked "random article", and there's an article on the United States. Shockingly, the things in the headlines in the news over the past 2-5 years caused a massive decline.

Maybe I've just read too much history, but the random topics of the day and trends that people care about one decade are almost universally irrelevant or forgotten in five decades. Some things were, in fact, important, but become background issues as people accept and adapt. Others are overblown, wrong, or artifacts on the political or cultural environment, i.e. proxies for anxieties that are generational or for the interests of a major institutional power with a short- or medium-term agenda.

That is to say, if I were to create a wiki for the mid twenty-first century, I'd make it alienating, not comfortably extrapolative. The concerns of the populace should be head-scratchers for us. People should be arguing about shades in social strata that don't exist now, waxing moral on norms we haven't invented, and making jokes we don't have the context to get. Sociopolitically, we should expect a layering of cultural and political movements. In fifty years, that might include some kind of Reaganesque conservative reassertion, some kind of orthogonal or approximately novel social movement, and some kind of progressive or liberal progressive advance, and each reacting to one another and sticking around to greater or lesser extents.

I think we will also be suprised to see what looks like zero or minimal progress in some areas that are currently hyped. I'll leave considering those as an exercise for the reader.

Basically, the future is messy and alienating. We'll be old then, if we're alive, and the concerns of that day will not be the concerns of ours, or even extrapolations on those concerns.
Not true. My church and I have no beef with birth-control. It is the issue of whether the unborn are people in the eyes of God that drives conviction.

And things aren't so simple. You cannot demonstrate the unborn are sentient anymore than animals. We cannot demonstrate that either. We choose to err on the side of the unborn out of fear if we're wrong.
That still doesn't answer why killing the child is acceptable.
Every time something like this happens, Section 230 reform becomes a topic again.

If you like Section 230 as it is, don't test it.

Are series A financiers now considered co-founders?
This is definitely not the norm in Mexican families. I speak exclusively in Spanish with my parents but English with my brother.

All the other Mexican (as in first generation in US) families in the US that I personally know are similar.
Indeed, abortions are called for in cases of severe defects that will eventually kill the fetus anyway, and possibly the mother if left alone. Defects like triploidy, which generally are not detected before 11 weeks, are always fatal to the fetus, and risky for the mother.
So? The label is correct. I have only contempt for people who are offended by the fact that they are a member of a biological group that includes apes.
They don't make them anymore, but there were a few variations:

One way to look at this law is that it uses an "escape hatch" to prevent people from having the standing to sue the state over it. Let's use it to ban hate speech -- anybody who aids and abets the publication of hate speech is fair game, not just the person who wrote it. Let's use it to ban all guns -- everybody from the gun shop to the gun range employees are fair game for aiding and abetting the use of firearms. Let's use it to replace taxes -- if somebody has 10x more money than you, sue them and their bank, financial advisors. Let's use it to ban gas vehicles -- lawsuits for everybody that's ever been driven somewhere. Let's use it for Sharia law -- every violation is a lawsuit, and the state pays handsomely to the lawyers who enforce it.

If this citizen enforcement truly is an end run on the constitution, there's no reason not to use that. And just like this Texan law, jurisdiction doesn't matter. If Washington State bans guns, hate speech, wealth,cars and implements Sharia law, it can be enforced around the country. If there's nothing unconstitutional about the way this Texan law is implemented, then the constitution is little more than a tissue in a tornado.
"Primates" is an entirely correct label for any video depicting humans.

If you find a picture of my white face anywhere, feel free to put a "primate" caption under it.
>They peak November to April in northern hemisphere countries with strong summers.

In the US, things picked up in July and appear to be peaking now. Which is not November.

Conversely, globally, cases were at a lull as March began and near peak by May.

I'm not saying I can predict the future, but so far, I don't think the pattern you see exists.

>The late August peak has been a southern US phenomenon

I think that's a misleading way to put it, unless you accidentally wrote August when you meant May.

The late August peak is in the global stats, which I linked to.

What seems different for the US is that the spring wave was very attenuated and doesn't show up hardly at all in a graph. We essentially have had two big peaks and not three.

But in this case the label is correct.

edit:

Hahahaha! Artificial intelligence correctly labels human as member of category "primate." Human "intelligence" flags comment because it doesn't know it is a member of category "primate"

I mean the FDA explains exactly why on their website[0]. Livestock are much bigger than humans meaning the medication has a much higher dosage and even if the active ingredient is the same the delivery mechanism doesn't have to be, which is why we have so many morons ending up in hospital.

The real tragedy in all of this is that these idiots are killing innocent people by overwhelming hospital resources.

Stimming isn't performative, it's performs an important role in sensory regulation. Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't kids who are acting out autism on TikTok. There probably are. But Autism is still greatly under-diagnosed, and I think you should also take into account how many people might be able to put a useful label on something that they'd previously just considered a personal quirk.
Wow, the parallels between that and our Department of Home Affairs here in Australia are striking. I guess it’s not surprising, I think it was modelled on the UK’s Home Office when they put it together six or seven years ago. It has similarly been a disaster, but the people in charge love the power, so it won’t be broken back up into separate departments as it was before…
Axios Loses Luster

What they're saying: a lot of Axios has evolved into that sort of editorializing masquerading as journalism.

Between the lines: it's pretty obvious that Axios has a format that seems to be working for them, but is it really?

Yes, but: some people actually prefer it when people stop pretending that they're objective and cop to their biases, which might explain why Axios is still pretty popular.

The bottom line: It remains to be seen if Axios can work through these editorial retreads and come up with something fresh and new.
Correct.

It doesn't have to violate the TOS. It's a legal website, helping implement a new law, but GoDaddy doesn't like the law.

At what point can we admit TOSs are fairly capricious in enforcement?

What does this have anything to do with what I’m saying?

I’m just telling you the terms for what a developing human is called. The OC said fetus, which is a term that has a specific meaning.
Yeah, it still improved the selling experience by a lot. No need to deal with banks and their ridiculous requirements, just set up an online shop and sell for a fee (that you can bake into the price).

As you get bigger, you get better options, but for startups/small businesses it was and probably still is a godsend.

Their quality has gone downhill recently though, that much is true, and there are more competitors these days.
All of us are primates, so what?
It does: the primacy is that a person always has the choice to cease providing metabolic support of another person. If you take this as primacy then consequential death as a side effect of exercising that choice is killing, for sure, but a distinct category of killing with regards to culpability. Analogies fail: abortion is a unique form of killing by ending internal biologically bound sacrificial life support, so it’s best to not reach for analogs.

I would say for full consistency with this it would imply abortion providers ought to take steps to not directly inflict harm, but practically speaking death is assured under this framework and so perhaps that falls onto questions of suffering vs painless death.

Edit: To be more direct, the killing is considered acceptable since the alternative is less acceptable: namely, that a person who is providing biologically, metabolically bound life support to another via an umbilical cord is not permitted to cut that cord of their own agency, under penalty of law.

The abortion law in Texas applies to abortions after 6 weeks.
It should be noted that GPT-3's training dataset is limited up to October 2019, so there's no way the term "NFT" would appear in the input dataset let alone be correlated with crypto. OpenAI has never announced an update to the core model since it was released in mid-2020 either.

If you connect over a VPN with the purpose of circumventing geoblocking, it could be judged equivalent to copyright infringement in many jurisdictions.

If you just default to connect over VPN and weren’t aware that by doing so you now have access to content you otherwise would not be allowed to access in your area, you’re in the clear.
Why would that have made a difference?
Yeah, white primates are pretty weird. It only happened because a few migrated north into temperate Europe and Asia and lost their melanin a while ago.
I agree. There are two sides of the "It makes sense to wear a mask" argument. There is the side that says that if COVID particles are partially encased in droplets and the masks help stop the droplets than surely masks will have a positive effect in helping slow the spread of COVID. There is also the side that says what you have: If you are going to partially obstruct your method of breathing, especially for extended periods of time, you should expect some negative consequences.
What if you weren't solely at fault and the accident was because of you and another driver? However that driver wasn't a match. That is a better analogy.

C'mon, you are misrepresenting it. The new bill makes it unlawful to have weekend voting except for the last weekend before the election. It ends voting at 9pm, not 10pm. It forbids voting in tents. It relieves city officials from most oversight, empowering county officials instead. It forbids driving three or more people to a polling place, and does not exempt bus drivers even.

It's a ridiculous expansion of restrictions clearly targeting the way city dwellers vote, while trying to leave alone the way rural people vote.

Humans are constantly unconsciously mimicking patterns of behavior off each other. This happens even with adults, but more so at early ages (presumably because there are fewer established patterns).

It doesn’t apply to long explicit patterns like a school play, but happens with pieces of behavior that are much shorter in a context-specific way: unless you observe a suitable situation, you wouldn’t know A unconsciously mimics B in behavior X. Additionally, the role of B in A’s life can make behavior mimicry strongly intrinsically motivated, which is a rare chance with a school play.
I believe that the whole Texas anti-abortion law is unfair. Nevertheless, undermining public discourse based on political preference is going to be always wrong.

It's worth bearing in mind that singular-they is almost as old as plural-they in usage. I think it's more likely we can settle into an existing valid usage (that spent a while being argued against by style guides in the 19th century) than gain acceptance on something completely new.

Wikipedia's summary is fine here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
Fascinating stuff, thanks for the details! I had no idea that they made PCIe accelerator based configurations now.
We would have a system which would go back to its original state every day, each rotation. This means there would be no way to discern how many days have passed, as the system would be in the same configuration as it was at the beginning of the rotation.

That's precisely what bodies in angular rotation or orbits do.

"One day looks pretty much like another."

For a sundial, the (apparent) movement of the shadow provides the marker of time throughout the day. It (mostly) doesn't indicate the passage of time greater than a day (not strictly true: see the annalema). But within any 24 hour period, you've got a timekeeping piece in which entropy plays no role in the measurement of the passage of time itself, but only as a signalling mechanism (casting a shadow).

In order to complete the clocked-ness, you either need a second repeating phenomenon (e.g., Earth's rotation vs. Moon's orbit, Earth's rotation vs. Earth's orbit). In which case with an external recording mechanisms the passage of time can be noted.

But the fundamental timekeeping mechaism, the phenomenon which is regularly occurring with time occurs without discernable entropic decay, once set in motion.

The rotation or orbit is the escapement here. It's functioning without an entropic drive.

Pointing out that an entropic flow might be used independently of a sundial does not explain how it relates to the sundial.
But ISPs are generally expected to work within the TOS. Otherwise the customer could expect to recover damages for malicious actions. If GoDaddy wants to add new terms they should give notice. Violating their own TOS is a breach of contract.
OK, I'll try to tread carefully here, but I think it's really helpful to separate the technical issues from the societal issues.

In the Google photo case, I've seen the picture in question, and it's not difficult an all to see how a rudimentary statistical algorithm would mistake the photo for a gorilla. No, no human would make this mistake, but due to the lighting in the photo and the woman's hair it's really not hard to see how that mistake would be made, similar to how Tesla's AI can mistake the sun, low on the horizon, as a yellow traffic light.

The algorithm was not "racist", it just didn't have the social context that describing black people as apes and monkeys has a long racist history. And that is really the fundamental problem with most AI these days - it can get very good at statistical inference, but it doesn't have the background knowledge and logic to be able to "think" in the same way humans do.

In a similar vein, I recall someone lamenting a couple years ago how Google's street directions would never mispronounce "Malcolm X Boulevard" as "Malcolm 10 Boulevard" if they had any black programmers. Again, given 99% of the time when you see "X" in an address you'd pronounce it as 10, it's not hard to see how this could happen. The problem is that some errors are much more offensive than others, and AI can't really reason about that.
Here's a potentially applicable term:

>[You must not use GoDaddy to] [v]iolate[] the privacy or publicity rights of another User or any other person or entity, or breach[] any duty of confidentiality that you owe to another User or any other person or entity. [emphasis added]

It is at least arguable this site infringes a woman's right to privacy when seeking medical treatment.

There's also the usual terms that give the service provider a very broad discretion to determine what content is or is not appropriate for their service.

Doesn't matter - Fastmail's response is just PR bunk.

Two big isues:

- Fastmail pays taxes to the Australian government. By supporting Fastmail, you are supporting this lunacy indirectly.

- Their rebuttal revolves around requiring a warrant for any of this, but what good is that if the process if flimsy and there is basically no friction/verification involved in obtaining a warrant?

I am a long time customer and I love Fastmail's service. But Australia has just gone nuts, and I think this is the last straw. I'll be working on a plan to slowly migrate elsewhere.
Yes, it's immoral to force someone to support a parasite. Once the child is born(even a bit before that as they can survive outside the womb with modern medicine at some point before birth) the child is longer a parasite since it doesn't need the mothers support to survive.

Read up on the 9th amendment, protections need not be explicitly mentioned to exist.

> Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.

This has been reaffirmed in many subsequent rulings.

Edit: but look at that language. "Without excessive government restriction." Sounds like "Congress shall make no law," doesn't it? Constitution doesn't say I can't sue you for exercising your rights, eh? Limitations are for governments.
I guess, on second thought, there's a place for saying, quietly, among yourselves, "I agree that the opposition is crazy, but it's probably going to be more productive if we engage them like rational people." But that's not a useful public stance.

I'd like a truck like that now. An electric version of the new Ford Maverick would be perfect.
>It's a legal website, helping implement a new law

Wrong. The law does not state citizens must track down anyone who has had an abortion.
