Let's clarify everything since you are a liar.

> We (dfntsc) hacked Cris,Merlin, Gandalf, and whaops.

You hacked CRIS and Merlin like everyone else. You never popped WHAOPS. Ever. I'd need a more reliable source than you - you're a known liar and you've only publicly proven it ITT.

> The author is kevin/pad. A groupie from conferences with no technical apitutde.

I rarely if ever hung out in SE/phreaker conferences with you skids. After my time. You mean to imply that the second you popped up I was a groupie? You were brand new, and you've never left that category in my mind because your skills haven't progressed. I have no technical aptitude? The same week I turned in a Slack RCE you were bragging about simple XSS on Twitter. You've always been a charlatan.

> Anyway, read this article like it was written by a groupie and not an authority on the subject /active participant.

A groupie? Not an authority on the subject? I've been in contact with Dime about the post. Since you "know" him - ask him yourself. Then ask him whether he sent me his Delphi browser for my own personal use around the time WHAOPS got popped.

> When cryptome.org got defaced and hacked we were monitoring pad snitching in jya@earthlink.net emails from pad@yayo.org.

You dumbasses used my website as a launchpad to claim the defacement.

Nobody ratted on you.

Someone, other than me, e.g. not "pad@yayo.org" emailed the cryptome guy a URL to your thread. I had to shut down yayo.org with a disclaimer saying we didn't endorse illegal activity. Nobody wanted skid heat from a website defacement. You idiots were barely allowed to hang out with us as is and cryptome only sealed the deal. Never change Justin. Apologies to the rest of you for the AODrama - but I felt obligated to reply to this disgruntled lunatic and his readers with some unbiased clarification based in reality. You've always been a pain in my ass, dude. Get off my jock once and for all. The cognitive dissonance involved in you calling me a groupie.

Yikes.

and not for nothin' we're in our thirties null - but i'll happily go back and forth with you if you want brokeboi
You are correct, consensus is the correct term.
Okay but that would only work for examples with which you already have. All interesting cases of neural networks are applying it to unseen inputs. How does your technique work with unseen inputs?

And while we interpret the result of a classification as a 1 or 0, the underlying result is a continuous probability. Even in reality, our training examples are labeled with too much confidence - some labels are vague even for humans. If it approximates a discontinuous function, then it does so by approximating a continuous function.

Rafflesia is, of course, well known in South-East Asia. But apparently, its name is more well known than what it is. In Singapore, there is a condominium named "Rafflesia" (next to the locally famous education institution, Raffles Institution) and I always wondered how the residents would react to know they are living in a place named after a smelly, parasitic plant. :-)
No they can give me the distribution, I just don’t need to know what Jane Blow paid.

So I don’t need to know what Jane, or my boss or whomever paid for their F-150 and none of them need to know what I paid. But I don’t mind knowing the distribution so long as none of the data points can be tied to any particular person.

I disagree with the article's premise. Lab grown meat that is exactly like animal meat may be impossible, but this industry may discover some lab grown protein that tastes good and is more healthy for us, which is also more efficient to manufacture. There's nothing in the laws of physics that prevents such a product from being created. Seems very arrogant to suppose that just because you know the state of current technology that you can know what it is ten years from now, much less 20 years from now.

"We could not study Unix versions that derive from the Research editions via AT&T System V, such as Solaris, AIX, and HPUX, because most of the corresponding code remains proprietary and inaccessible."

Understandable but disappointing. HPUX and AIX in particular are probably the closest thing to "living" UNIX time capsules.

"Basically all consumer phones (save for a few cobbled together exceptions) implicitly accept arbitrary software updates from their upstream vendor."

Actually ... all phones of all kinds explicitly accept arbitrary updates from the carrier in the form of java code that they can upload, and run, on your SIM card.

Your SIM card is a full fledged computer with CPU, RAM and storage and your carrier can upload and run arbitrary code on it.

Not much help if you are looking for full LiveView apps, though. I haven't checked it out yet, but i hope surface addresses some of the structural organization issues.
I would agree that Lightning feels somewhat better designed. I have a USB-C port for docking my laptop and a USB-C phone and both are somewhat flakey. If I move the cable in a certain way it disconnects. I've tried replacing cables, but to no avail, so it definately seems like the connector is the issue.

I had an iPhone 5S for 5 years before this phone and never had any issues, other than dust getting in, which was easily cleaned.
This sounds like my experience as an Australian. I'm not really sure where else I'd go, though.
No, this is generally where the government steps in and dictates what is allowed contract or not.
Don't warm-blooded animals spend 90% of our energy keeping ourselves at the same temperature? That's major low hanging fruit. Cleanliness and purity failing to scale sounds like something specific to an approach rather than something fundamental.

I think you and the article make good cases that the current approaches won't work out and that a lab-meat winter is imminent. Fundamental limits, though? Not so much.
The metric of energy per transaction doesn't actually make sense, because there can be almost unlimited number of layer 2 transactions, whether they're on Lightning Network[0] or something else. Most Bitcoin transactions happen already on Lightning Network. Also, the energy used in mining is mostly independent from the number of on-chain transactions.

The energy is not used to append new transactions, but to keep the complete transaction history objectively immutable, i.e. the network is designed to defend digital property rights with energy.

They're a really bad idea, so much so that's it's the first item in Effective Java:

> Consider static factory methods instead of constructors

The reasons outlined in Effective Java include:

- Unlike constructors, static factory methods can have names.

- Unlike constructors, static factory methods are not required to create a new object each time they're invoked (immutable objects, flyweight pattern).

- Unlike constructors, they can return an object of any subtype of their return type.

- Unlike constructors, the class of the returned object can vary from call to call as a function of the input parameters.

Effective Java even has advice for overloading: Item 52, "use overloading judiciously"

> A safe, conservative policy is never to export two overloadings with the same number of parameters.

I prefer stronger guidance for overloading that I'll paraphrase poorly from a forgotten source (Guava maybe): each overload should return pretty much the same thing and it should be obvious from the call site. The OP's article violates this principle since warnings should be distinct from errors.

The same can be said about using SSL/HTTPS to access websites. People say it's secure because no one can intercept, but at the same time it verifies you are the one who did that at that time.

Also, heartbleed.
I also think this works out. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I feel it will.

I suspect the answer may be not culturing "animal" cells they are now but instead a genetically modified "something" (perhaps yeasts?) that grow well under lab culture and produce the same amino acid/ fat profiles. And after processing it will be close enough to "meat", maybe even better.

I believe there is a company growing milk proteins with yeasts now.

USB-C ports have a tongue in the device end which can be damaged. Seen some nintento switch repairs and most of the time its the usb c port thats broken. The iphone in comparison seems to have less going on in the port. It does have the port gripper bits inside the port but I have 7 year old devices that still grip the cable just fine.

Apple is stuck in this crappy half way situation where the MacBook and iPad are USB-C while the iphone and accessories are lightning. Clearly the iPad and Macbook will not switch to lightning so the only way to standardize is to move the rest to usb-c.
Oof, the lesson that should have been learned here is that this is an inherently unsafe way to design the API of this class. While Java's type system isn't the most expressive in the world, certainly you could design something that makes it impossible to construct in a way that you'd ever see this failure.

Hell, you could even use a builder pattern (and make the constructor private), which is pretty common in Java-land:

final ErrorResponse errorResponse = ErrorResponse.newBuilder()
.withSuccesses(1, "Great!")
.withWarnings(3, "Hmm...")
.withErrors(1, "Uh oh")
.build();

If you have no warnings (for example), you don't call `.withWarnings()`, and then you have zero warnings and no message to go with it. If you have warnings, you call the `.withWarnings()` method and you must provide both bits of information.

Yes, it's more verbose. But that's Java for you, and the key takeaway is that it's impossible to construct an `ErrorMessage` with invalid internal state (assume that the `.with*()` methods have proper preconditions, etc.).

In addition, `.getSuccessMsg()` etc. should return `Optional<String>`. Alternatively, you could just have `.getSuccesses()`, which returns something like `Optional<ResponseData>`, which is just a poor-man's 2-tuple of (numSuccesses, successMsg). (And if you're using a recent Java version [which I suspect Salesforce is not], you can even use a record to save you the boilerplate.)
What is PETAL?
> The article suggests Page is not a resident not a resident.

your sentence doesn't make sense.
It sounds like you want a policy that sets a standard and for discretion to be explicitly mentioned in the policy, and that if one drug that's less effective is approved over another then policy violation is a candidate explanation.

Which is all probably already the case. The standard is probably rather loosely defined out of necessity, due to the reasons I suggested previously, and it follows that "inconsistency" will necessarily come from the part of the policy that allows for discretion. It doesn't follow that this inconsistency is bad, it could mean that in one domain or one product, certain considerations should get more weight. That's the point of the discretion, to allow the specialists to upweight and downweight those considerations that matter more or less for a given product.

So my point is that some inconsistency is to be expected, a subset of it is good, and no inconsistency would actually be a cause for concern.

Ransome Note Effect
According to your source, milk and other dairy foods are poor sources of Vitamin D. Its only after fortification with added Vitamin D that they become good sources. So, I dont see any reason to choose dairy over any other source of supplementary Vitamin D (yes, dairy has calcium, but so do many other foods).
Except lightning has been consistent for ~10 years.

USB on the other hand is a complete mess.

Naively, the lightning connector seems better designed. The cable is just a flat wedge that goes into a socket. The usb has an internal wedge/pin in the socket and then has to have something wrap around it. I feel that internal wedge is more susceptible to damage, and then the entire port on the device is cooked, vs a relatively inexpensive cable.
This is before we feel the effects of the terrible grain harvests in the western US. Low yields or completely lost crops are the story coming out of the Palouse and elsewhere. I don't think we'll know how bad it is until mid-winter.
But they didn't find anything in Huawei's device or oneplus device. That shows this is not a marching order from the ccp or government to export censorship abroad. If so, then all products with Chinese origin should all have them. What is likely happened here is that xiaomi included code they needed to comply with laws in china in products for aboard, but it is deactivated for in any region other than mainland china. They should have removed the code completely, either have different software builds or don't do anything on the client side to comply with laws in china. Apple complies with Chinese laws fine and I doubt they had to implement any client side changes.

I doubt xiaomi and other Chinese company dares to enable censorship anywhere in international markets, or have a secret plan to control world's information discourse to support ccp. Any censorship or apparent support of ccp will be caught within seconds. Its commercial and political suicide. Also if they do have a secret plan, just blacking out whatever people are typing on their phones is such a dumb, stupid, and crude way of implementing censorship.

Also, this report found no censorship mechanisms on huawei and oneplus phones. Yet they said people should ditch all Chinese phones, which implies all phones originated from Chinese origin companies have censorship mechanisms. That is a much larger conclusion than what the evidence they provided, seem like a politically motivated desire to discredit and defame all Chinese origin companies and products.

I also doubt ccp has a marching order for Chinese companies to censor speech internationally and manipulate world's information discourse. Chinese phones have big market share already, and huawei's gear has wide market share in Europe, but no one ever experienced censorship on their device for speaking against China. And if there is a secret plan to control world's information, they are doing a terrible job at it. The covid origins, xinjiang Uyghurs, Hongkong. The point of view of Chinese side is non existent. For example the xinjiang Uyghur situation, I know people in xinjiang, many of whom are uyghur people, the accusation of mass genocide, 1 million imprisonment, wide spread physical abuse and rapes in prisons, massive internment camps with forced labor is wildly inaccurate from the truth. Yet, it hasn't stopped this from becoming the wildly believed truth, to the point where if you disagree with these statements, you are a ccp shill, a genocide sympathizer and brainwashed. For me and a lot of mainland Chinese people I know, we feel our voices and our personal real life experiences are being censored by international media and public discourse. Sometimes I read something about China in the international discourse, it feels its talking about an alternative universe than my real life experience. I have to wonder who is really controlling the narrative, censoring speech and pushing their political agenda.

I think the iphone pro will still have a port and likely usb c. They are pushing it as a film making product now and no one wants to copy 50GB + of video over wifi when you could just plug it in.
This has been going on for a long time. I imagine it’s simply because you can’t really grow crops on the hills but you can use them as pasture.
Right, that’s interactive computing. Notebooks are a strict improvement over a standard REPL-in-terminal for those use cases.

The problem come when you want to make that process reusable for other CSVs, on other machines, in other environments, to repeat it in the future, to test components of it, to make and track changes over time, to share with a coworker, etc.
The National Review is a right-wing publication, and since it's the right that has been pushing anti-vaccine and anti-masking narratives because of "muh freedomz!", anything coming out of NR is inherently suspect.

What would happen if people just followed recognized experts, but those experts were wrong? Bad things like the "masks don't help" messaging early on.

What would happen if you got to be the contrarian that predicted the experts' wrongness? That would prove you're smart.

And a lot of us want to feel smart. So that makes us more vulnerable to certain cognitive weaknesses.

Colour is easy if you have a colour printer. in 1914, b&w printing was significantly more common than colour for book production. The reason most old books have a "plates" section is that colour printing required higher quality paper and more expensive printing techniques.

Air pollution: Even worse than we thought – WHO
> why would we want to sell drugs that are "safe" but ineffective?

Because "ineffective" in your question actually means "not proven by the FDA to be effective" and the FDA, like all organizations, isn't perfect or perfectly responsive. For example, early COVID testing kits by third party labs that were safe and realistically effective but not yet approved. For example, this Alzheimer treatment that has controversial efficacy but the FDA could only choose between banning it completely or forcing insurance & Medicare to cover it.

We can make exceptions in scenarios where ineffective treatments have unusually high external risks such as the COVID-19 pandemic before effective vaccines were available. Now, someone who pays attention to the FDA can use an FDA approved vaccine to immunize themselves to the disease spread by people who make decisions based on YouTube rumors. Sounds safe enough to me. We each make our own choices.

This can happen with any company!

I had Apple lock me out of iTunes, App Store, Mac Store, ... - for an entire month, if not more - alleging that I spammed others with my iMessage account.

The fact is that I never, ever used iMessage! I used only WhatsApp, Telegram and SMS.

In every support call, I would hear them say the same thing. I would tell them that I never used iMessage, let alone spam others. But, they would say, some users marked your iMessage account as spamming. I would ask them for proof, with iMessage records; they would say they cannot disclose that!

After that experience, I simply moved off iPhone to a Pixel.

I still have an MBP for work purposes, but I needed to create a different AppleID.
