What you probably don't realize is how culturally diverse America is, maybe more so than any other country. The thinking and culture varies wildly. Rural Texas could not be more different than urban California.

I care deeply about rights, but I suppose I cannot count myself among the enlightened; I cannot condone abortion since there is no way to ascertain beyond reasonable doubt that the unborn are not sentient people. And in my opinion, showing an ID to vote is just reasonable considering all it's other uses.

Erosion of rights in America is occurring recently through draconian executive orders that mandate behavior without due process. If Texas passes a law through due process, that's your problem not theirs. I don't mean to surmise what across the pond means, but if you're looking for dramatic erosion of rights look to Australia.
> I think of how stagnant the Eink space is, and how much broader usage might that technology get if it wasn’t encumbered by patents (just one example)?

I work in the display industry and I have no idea what you're talking about. I see this again and again in HN. Look at my comment history. There's reasonable amount of innovation and competition in electrophoretics. But it is a niche technology and the actual physics of rheology are what limits innovation in this space. If you feel I'm mistaken, please say exactly what you mean is being limited in a technical sense. I perceive your type of comment as equivalent to a display engineer posting on a software forum claiming that patents are limiting progress in operating systems and that's why Microsoft Windows is the only non-innovative product available. I hope the analogy is clear.

It is with regards to their view of any abortion being flat out murder. Which is the side that a large amount of the older religious populace falls on.

In essence, you can in fact get some of them to agree with the things like abortions in extreme circumstances such as trisomy 13, but then they're just being hypocrites, because they earlier stated that any abortion is murder. In the end, they show their true colors of mostly just wanting to control women and minorities, and the politicians just keeping a downtrodden and uneducated voter base that they can dangle a "vote for me and I'll help you" carrot in front of for life.
W.E.B. DuBois detailed this not long after it started happening during Reconstruction over 100 years ago when he wrote "Black Reconstruction in the South".
>Goofs will be correctable until “the sixth day after election day.”

Too short of a timeline.

> Mail votes will be reported separately on election returns.

This is a poison pill you can't see.

Democrats have always been more likely to use mail in ballots because they are more likely to be in a position where going to poll isn't feasible.

So if the mail in votes lean one direction, and get reported separately (especially in a way that delays them) then republicans can attack the legitimacy of those votes.

Texas is gonna end up turning blue here soon and they want to make sure they can attack the legitimacy of that.
Yes, and after 2000 it was again a niche for a while (though not quite so tiny). The collapse of dot com bubble also resulted in lack of faith in internet based businesses in general, lack of investment and difficult market conditions. The landscape of 2003 was much different than that of 2013, when internet startups again were fully en vogue.
Interesting standpoint, I've never heard that argument (I'm also not very deep into this issue just couldn't hold back my superficial 2 cents). But imo it does not really invalidate the opposite standpoint, it just rationalises one point of view.

In that same framework, wouldn't a hospital be also allowed to turn of life support as it sees fit?
Because other people are willing to give the baby support once it's born. If the options are force the mother to take care of the embryo or allow the mother to decide whether to take care of it then I think we shouldn't force people to take care of those they don't want to. But once the child is born the options change. Now the choices are between letting the mother kill something that other can care for or letting those others provide the care.

Before this week the most restrictive state law in the US was more permissive of abortions (24 weeks by request without cause) than the most liberal European countries (22 weeks by request without cause -or- 24 weeks with 1-2 or more medical doctors good faith declaration of risk).

Other European countries are more conservative. And the vast majority of jurisdictions outside Europe are even more conservative than that.

But that info is nowhere in the news, or even on the Wikipedia page that just lumps all countries together that allow any abortions by request.

This is 100% a media-driven issue.

Until this week, Europe was more "Red State" on the issue than Texas. All other red states continue to be.
According to the article, the video in question "featured clips of Black men in altercations with white civilians and police officers.", so the primates label could just as well apply to the white civilians or police.

> If there is a problem with the deploy let's meet, fix the issue and most importantly learn from the problem, and document the incident for future reference.

Not being on the same side should not be the problem, it's the solution if you divide the work as each side has to treat things differently while working together.

Operations takes care to restore the operational side. The faster the better.

Developers need or normally want to tackle the issue differently and most likely after operations reports updates they can decide whether the workaround is acceptable or development wants to maintain further on.

this normally works very well this way as operations does not have the time to maintain the application but the developers have.
Of course it follows.

It is specious to look at entropic consequences, when you should look at the existent will being exercised to predict those consequences.

You can't predict unless you have the will to perform a prediction. Having such a will to act, is free will.

As another example - You are able to freely exercise your will to comment or not to comment.
I'm not sure what you're saying is powers of 2, but if you mean that it's 568ml, that's a UK/Imperial pint; US is smaller.

I see the point that there is no single way to separate the unborn from its mother, while in all other cases there are ways that it can survive when separated (even though the separation might not be allowed).

There are innumerable other places to have political discussions. This topic is indisputably a lightning rod and catalyst for flamewars. Can we have one single place where we agree not to disagree like this? Without that we will never agree on anything.
Moore’s films are HEAVILY biased. Just him trying to depict school lunches in France is enough. I’ve eaten at a high school in the south of France. It’s 0% like what he picked as an example and said all of France is like this. And that’s just one tiny example from his films where there’s a CLEAR agenda. What I hate the most is he tries to pass it off as if it’s somehow good journalism.

India is a example of a country that has a national language (actually two, Hindi and English) but still recognizes the 20+ other regional languages spoken. Schools in India are allowed to teach the local language in addition to Hindi/English.

As a result a educated Indian from a non-Hindi speaking state is generally trilingual in English, Hindi and their mother tongue.
I understand that's about the earliest viability will ever be, because if there aren't working lungs, it simply can't survive.

On the other hand, perhaps technology will advance to the point where even a fertilized egg could grow outside the womb. Then abortion might turn into "take this thing out of me and find somebody else that wants it."

This framework is relevant because it is the one used to regulate the legality of abortion under Roe v Wade. (Viability)

Also re: hospitals, this moral framework has no real analog given the nature of pregnancy being unique. If there were other phenomena where we could become biologically attached (without full intention) to others to sustain them through our own biological functions, then the same legal and moral frameworks seems like they would apply to those scenarios - but I am not aware of any such situations.

The question is how would they know they are members of a racial group when it couldn't even identify them as part of the righ species? The answer is that these algorithms are not fit for serious classification and are not appropriate for this type of application.

MicroAcquire: Sell Your Startup
Expectations around nudity and personal space vary greatly among cultures, even among different subcultures withing the larger European culture. The common expectation in North America are that men and women will be segregated in places such as changing rooms where nudity is normal. There are many exceptions, such as mixed-sex saunas: but the important thing is that people going into these spaces know that they are mixed-sex. In the case discussed here, the changing rooms were labeled, indicating male or female. Women entering their changing room are led to expect it to be a female-only space. It’s abusive of the Spa to allow men to parade around naked in that space, whether or not these men utter some incantation about how they “identify”. It’s a good sign that at least the police are still willing to recognize this as the crime that it is.

EDIT: I sincerely hope that as you gain more exposure to people raised in different cultures, you leave behind the impulse to describe other people as “bizarre”.
I've not come across FS_IOC_GETVERSION before. Should the many user-mode applications that rely on st_dev, st_ino being enough to identify an inode also be calling this ioctl? Or is it something you only need to worry about in limited circumstances?

I know. That's what I meant when I said we're going backwards. Copyright enforcement drove piracy underground. It's not supposed to be like this.
If there was something fishy there would be evidence wouldn’t there? The DOJ said there was no rampant voter fraud. Every election will have some votes that are off, but when it’s not enough to sway the election (by even a close margin) then I don’t think it rises to the bar of suspicious. In 2016 there was not any coverage about the election being stolen, nor people attacking congress to try and overturn an election. There was a large discussion about polling and how they were so off. Also outrage about how the electoral college works (same thing in 2020). Maybe if you look at the media on the extreme sides you have a different picture, but I would say the sentiment after 2016 was more shock (once again because of polling).

Doctors and pharmacists ramp up calls for Americans to stop using ivermectin
Yeah you’d think think they be extra careful on their model which classifies videos of people before releasing it.
Correct. In the future if we can extract a fetus safely (to both mother and child) and bring it to term then under current law abortion by termination would be illegal, is my understanding.
Having sex is not agreeing to carry around another person for 9 months. Consent is important. I don't think society has agreed that we punish people who kill others in car accidents, but I'd love examples of when we have and the person at fault wasn't drunk.

Do you have a source on that? It is interesting because it use to be that transsexuals were said to be more likely the other way round.

But it was unclear whether it was due to diagnosis practices or really difference in rates of condition.

how do you define "spies"? As that could apply to pretty much any phone (smart phone or not, the cellular provider (and almost certainly the government)) tracks everywhere you go, modern TV's, cars, and many modern appliances have some degree of spying built in.

The only reason to buy an ARM processor is for its power efficiency. Otherwise it's all minor differences in performance that one CPU manufacturer or the other leads in some time or the other - we've seen this in the past with Intel vs AMD, and now it is between Apple vs AMD vs Intel. Today Apple may lead, tomorrow somebody else. (It is undeniable though that Apple engineers have done a fantastic job in bringing ARM to the desktop.)

Nevertheless I would never recommend the Mac M1 to anyone currently for the following reason:

1. It is a completely locked down machine which forces you to sacrifice your computing freedom - it can only run macOS on it by design. (Two reasons why I am skipping Apple Silicon Macs - https://medium.com/the-shadow/two-reasons-why-i-am-skipping-... ).

2. You sacrifice your privacy - Apples suggests that if you want to run another OS on it, you can run it on macOS using virtualisation. The idea is to keep users hostage to macOS, to have access to your private data one way or the other.

3. You sacrifice your right to repair. There is no future upgrade path - RAM and SSD are built into the SoC / Motherboard and hence you cannot upgrade either to increase the life of your device.

4. The locked black-box nature of the M1 indicates clearly that the future of the Mac Desktop is bleak - it will be slowly morphed into a highly restricted and controlled platform like ios / iPad OS.

Whenever I have voiced these criticisms, many Apple fans take a lot of offence with my description of the M1 as a "locked black box". They claim that the M1 isn't a locked down machine and compare it with the ios / iPad OS platform as proof of their argument. After all, iPhones and iPads have locked bootloaders that prevent you from even running any other OS, while this is not so with the M1.

Not yet, I say - the frog is boiling slowly - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog - Just look at the previous generation of Intel mac:

- In the beginning you could customise both hardware (change RAM or HDD / SSD) and software (install other full featured OS).

- Then the minis started coming with soldered RAM and SSD. You could no longer upgrade the hardware. Software was still customisable and you could still install other OSes. (Recall that Apple even offered free drivers for another OS).

- The current generation M1 mini now doesn't allow you to customise both the hardware (everything is soldered) and software. While technically you can install other OSes, the reality is that currently only crippled versions of Linux and *BSD is available (so there are no viable alternate OS due to the black box nature of the M1, and there won't be for a long time.)

If you want Apple to open up the M1 so that other viable OSes can fully support it, boycott it and don't buy it in its current form. Developers should also not develop any software for it. Apple will then be forced to stop locking down the mac desktops any more because it has bet its whole future on its ARM processors.
It's probably because humans are primates – but the AI systems often have to treat “human” as a completely separate category as “primate”, so they have to draw weird, complex boundaries around “primate” (actually “all non-human primates”). When the “primate” classification is stronger than the “human” classification, the system says “primate” rather than “human”, and if it's predominantly been trained on “pictures of white Americans are not pictures of primates”, its “primate” definition might not be skewed to miss everyone else.

I expect you'd get better results if you allowed the system to call humans “primates”, then accept “human primate” as “human” when parsing the output. (That is, leave the “is_primate” output line floating while training on pictures of humans.) I don't know whether that would work, though.
so isn’t the main problem which need immediate fix is the fact that they don’t have an Id. You do already have to have an Id for many basic thing. Getting an Id should be very cheap (even free for some) and very easy.

Personally, when I came to US as an immigrant it was very cheap and easy for me.

And in my home country in Europe everyone needs an Id to vote and no one complains.
Like we all now that buying votes is a very sustainable thing to do...
It just illustrates that if your definition of "radical left" is people super concerned with identity politics, pronouns, dead naming, gay rights and so on, then this is a very convenient and non threatening definition to the rich and powerful. In contrast the people that marched on the opening of the new European Central Bank in Frankfurt and had paramilitary skirmishes in the morning are far less amendable to corporate sponsorship and feel good diversity and inclusion messaging, such as modifying your corporate logo to feature the rainbow flag.

They literally and figuratively want to burn down / destroy the capitalist system, which is a far more dangerous leftist position than demanding a carbon tax or "breaking the glass ceiling", diversity training etc., which only make sense if you take the capitalist system for granted.
There's nothing implicit in what's going on. It's clear that Apple leadership promised the backdoor to people in governmental power and got great monopoly power in return.
Yes, third generation Native with a house in urban Austin but currently near the Guadalupe Mountains out west.

I know reddit isn't representative of the state but both /r/austin and /r/texas have had this conversation many times.[0][1] I personally agree with the thesis that Texas GOP see's the demographic writing on the wall and want to limit to more liberal immigrants.

And because I already saw a comment mentioning it, I want to add that as a Mexican born and raised a border town I think the flipped Hispanic counties on the border are an anomaly. If you investigate the counties, like Zavala, that flipped, they are 1 largely blue collar men which love Trump (my roofer uncle), and 2 Zavala was actually one of the few counties that LOST population according to the 2020 census. The correlation is visible, the counties that had the highest population decline in Texas voted most heavily for Trump while the fast growing suburbs are now purple and blue. In this booming state the poor counties losing money and people are the ones voting GOP.

An agreement under coercion, direct or indirect, can't be reduced into some intentionally sterile and neutral "choice" without any context. When someone try to do that, it suggests that one is uncomfortable with that fact and prefer to rationalize it.
I don’t think this is an edge case. We are asking AI to classify images and videos of people where the results can be disastrous.
