I disagree, both sides have the opportunity to ask potential jurors a lot of questions. The answers to those questions can clearly illuminate someone's comprehension and reasoning - they definitely did in my experience. Now each side does not necessarily get all of the eliminations that they want but that is part of the process.

The case I watched was a domestic violence case. Both sides were asking potential jurors about their knowledge of bruising and the way bruises change/develop over time. One of the potential jurors was an older Engineer from an aerospace company you've heard of, his answer included explaining that the most interesting problems that he deals with include how one handles the unknowns of a given project/situation. He gave a clear indication of his reasoning and thought process, the prosecution dropped him like a hot rock.

Its not a jury of your peers if its a jury of only the sharpest or most educated people.

I will use VR when I can put on my headset, anywhere, and be transported to my "desk". I want to be able to take documents and move them around in VR, read them, put them on my "table", and then have apps that appear as monitors. So I can move and pull up email in front of me, "grab" an attachment, and "put" it into another email that I will compose.

And have emails look like a stack of papers that you could actually process - pick up, hold, throw in a trashcan or put in an archive folder. It'd be amazing if I could just crumple up garbage emails and throw them on the floor behind me, or light them on fire.

May still need a physical keyboard, but voice recognition could work. Or voice memos sent to people. I think we don't do that today because most people don't have a private office or headsets on. But it would be a lot more efficient in some circumstances if you could just leave a voice memo.

And "apps" become screens - so you can pull up PPT, see it, work on it, and then push it to the side. It would be virtually unlimited and scalable screen real estate purchased with just one headset. You could have different flexible workstations (e.g. one for music production with 6 screens in front of you, one for each project). Sort of like desktop environments, but actually changing the desktop so that the files you leave around and windows you have up are saved in their state until you return to it.

Writing a new book? Pull up a writing environment template that minimizes distraction. Ready to be social? News feeds? Gaming?

Dogs are amazingly good at detecting things like cancer in double blind experiments. There are good reasons to think dogs can detect lots of things.

That's not the problem:

1. No MD would order cancer treatment on the basis of a dog's sniff.

2. Analysis of all kinds of evidence, including the use of sniffer dogs, should not be managed by police departments, or even prosecutors. There have been many scandals of police evidence handling, even by supposedly professional evidence labs, have mishandled evidence and innocent people have been imprisoned. There needs to be independent analysis of evidence, incentivised to find the truth even if unfavorable to police and prosecutors.

3. Cops lie.

Authority doesn't have to be bad, as long as it's justified, or at the very least as long as the authority exists to meet the needs of those under authority.

If you design a student dorm for example, the best design will take into account what is best for the students, according to the students. Okay, we can introduce authority into it, and assign some staff to decide what would be best for them. But either way, the "input" to this process would be the needs of the students.

I don't think it should be controversial to say that constructing the dorm based on plans from a rich hobby-architect donor is not in the best interest of the students, and that it is impossible to consider this justified or beneficial authority towards the students. The argument of "some discomfort will do them good" does not convince me, unfortunately.

I find it difficult to see this donor's story as anything other than self-congratulatory megalomania, but if you see it differently, I honestly hope you're right!

Ok, if you really want a cost-benefit analysis, please state what is the benefit, because out of not bothering to turn the electricity off or not buying some cheap protection gear, I'm out of ideas.
Often the resources can be unproven (so a gamble) or uneconomic to extract (so net negative economically), combined with some degree of other liability like taxes, security issues, bad infrastructure that needs replacing, etc.

That can change if it turns out the actual resources are more valuable, easier to extract, or the liabilities can be resolved with significant investment. Sometimes people throw millions at things too, and don’t really break even. We can’t really see their books here, so we don’t know.

> The real issue IMO is that dieting should never leave you perpetually hungry, genuinely fatigued, or exerting tons of willpower. There is this perception that losing weight is hard. And it can be “hard” like setting a routine or taking a class. But it shouldn’t be hard physically. Because 99.9% of humans simply can’t exert that much willpower over a long period of time.

The success of dieting strategies are extremely specific to the individual. I've personally only had success with low-calorie diets that always leave me hungry. I hit it head on and try to accept the state of hunger instead of avoiding it.

I'm not arguing that this sort of strategy isn't statistically worse than others in general, but that there are many people for which such a strategy is the most effective anyway.
Which also means they won't get to hear the full connection "song" as their modem explores all the different coding and error correction options to negotiate the best connection.

Not to mention the separation it would give you working from home / or wherever. You could disengage from your whole work environment by taking off your headset, and have a very minimal tech setup outside that space. It would be a clean transition from work and home. You couldn't text with your phone, have TV in the background, and be in a room with someone at the same time. It would be fully engaged in tech, or not. (I admit there will likely be more opportunity for distraction in the virtual environment, because the friction to add an additional data feed or notification will be low).

The problem with a purely quantitative analysis of a dog’s theoretical capabilities is that they can be trained to give false positives. See for example this Reason article [1] about dogs searching for drugs:

> As a drug detection dog, Karma kept his nose down and treated every suspect the same. Public records show that from the time he arrived in Republic in January 2018 until his handler took a leave of absence to campaign for public office in 2020, Karma gave an "alert" indicating the presence of drugs 100 percent of the time during roadside sniffs outside vehicles.

> Similar patterns abound nationwide, suggesting that Karma's career was not unusual. Lex, a drug detection dog in Illinois, alerted for narcotics 93 percent of the time during roadside sniffs, but was wrong in more than 40 percent of cases. Sella, a drug detection dog in Florida, gave false alerts 53 percent of the time. Bono, a drug detection dog in Virginia, incorrectly indicated the presence of drugs 74 percent of the time.

Remote Desktop Experience (Part 1: Planning)
This was shocking to me the first time I had to stay in a hospital for multiple nights. The door was always kept open for nurses, and the hallway lights and noise was constant. I had to share a room with a patient who kept the lights and television on 24/7 and, whenever she was awake, was loudly complaining to someone on her phone or threatening to kill the nurses for not giving her enough medication. I had no option for another room and had to “recover” between multiple operations in these conditions. My first week out of the hospital was focused on recovering from the hospital conditions, not my actual medical issue.
Why not use WSL?
Yes, but it is below the horizon when it's in the north and most rooms don't have 360 degree windows.
This. It's strangely upsetting. It makes me want to "raise the alarm", which I imagine is a leftover evolutionary psychological tidbit instilling the "duty to inform" others about things.

Actually no, not for policy decisions.

Guaranteed kids will have levels medically too high is a policy problem. Immediately downwind of the interstate in the 70s was apparently a very bad place for kids to be, and policy fixed that (more or less).

Almost no kids will have high levels now, and those few with higher levels experimentally are from uncountable random sources rather than the point source airport, is not a useful aviation policy problem.

I'm not convinced. The fact that young male monkeys choose firetrucks over dolls rather strongly indicates that the study is bogus and there is some (unconscious) influence from the experimenter. How can monkeys instinctively know what a fire truck is? The explanation about females preferring faces is just a post-hoc rationalisation.
Why not WSL2 instead? It's a very smooth experience nowadays.

> The longer we try to blame a technology for humanity’s issues, the longer it will take to address the issues.

I think it is the people at Facebook are being blamed in the comment above, and not the technology, no?

> Facebook didn’t change anyone.

You’re right that human nature is not Facebook’s fault, however, you cannot logically use that to conclude that Facebook bears no responsibility. Facebook is changing people, and there’s evidence of it. You don’t get to claim human nature when feeding drugs or alcohol to an addict, or when being a bookie for illegal fights, or when pimping. Advertisers don’t get to claim human nature when advertising cigarettes to teenagers. There are plenty of laws on the books to prevent companies from trying to leverage the negative sides of human nature, and there are plenty of companies that are currently using our worst impulses to goad us into spending our time and money with them.

Facebook intends to normalize incredulity at all times, in order to maximize their own profit, and because of the scale of Facebook, it’s causing a net negative in human behavior. Fewer people would be choosing outrage, and less often, if Facebook wasn’t pimping it. Allowing people to form companies with this intention should be illegal, no? Or if you see this as purely human nature and think Facebook is not complicit, how are you suggesting we address the issues?

I've been doing this since Windows 7 and WSL wasn't available then. Old habits die hard, I guess.

I also use Ubuntu with i3 when I'm trying to be particularly productive. Unfortunately Windows doesn't have something I find to be as good (I'm happy for suggestions if you think there's a tiling manager for Windows that's equivalent to i3).
Alaska is huge, and has a wide variety of living conditions throughout the year. I live in southeast AK, and our winters are really mild because we're on the Pacific coast. Our summers are 50s and 60s, occasionally getting into the 70s (F). Our winters are 30s and 40s, occasionally dipping into the 20s. The hardest part about living in a tent here in the summer is the presence of brown bears, and the long periods of rainy days.

In other parts of AK it regularly gets into the 80s in the summertime. In many of those parts one of the hardest parts about living in a tent is the bugs.
Yeah, I was looking for a job pre-COVID, and REALLY wanted something remote since I hate living in a big city.

No matter how hard I looked or negotiated, I couldn’t manage to get any remote offers or jobs in small towns in the USA that’d pay over about $140k. Meanwhile, with my experience it was EASY to get an offer for $300k in the Bay Area.

That means that even paying $3300/month to rent a run-down shithole and $6 per gallon for milk, I’m saving $120k a year vs the $40k I’d save in a small town.

The numbers get even more insane if you buy property in one of these hideously overpriced Bay Area cities. I haven’t done it yet, since a downturn could leave me holding the bag and trapped in this nightmarish place for 5 years, but the financial incentives are incredible

On the contrary, edanm's premise is that the number of viewers cited in the parent comment was the number of viewers on the day of release, and the number of book sales mentioned was cumulative.

This article has so many factual inaccuracies and opinion-presented-as-fact about both Windows and Linux that it's just adding noise and confusion to new users.
It would only be the perfect time to switch to Linux (or one of the BSD's) if most, if not all, the applications you use are available immediately.

Expecting users to leave their desired/trusted applications behind (in most cases) is pretty much a non-starter.

Beyond the title, there is a lot of FUD in the article, and that coming from someone who uses both Windows 10 and FreeBSD (and prior to that Slackware).
Confused by this comment - any more detail?

My father had a small farm(20ish acres) with cattle, as did a lot of people in the area at the time. There wasn't really a cost for hay outside of time and equipment up front(which isn't a lot), they just let the grass grow, cut it, let it sit, hit it with tines, bale it, etc.

Are you saying it's not efficient, and a full efficiency farm would use said grassland for crops instead? I can see that, but then where do the cattle roam?

"Why don't the tech billionaires chasing after sci-fi metaverses get that these fictional virtual realities seem great on the page but would be hell to actually live in 12 hours a day?

They are the baddies. Let's not forget WEF's aims that we "will own nothing and be happy" by 2030.

My impression is that this is the way they aim to achieve this. They'll have us hooked up to something or other, and harvest our 'free cycles' in our wetware to decrypt encrypted thoughtcrimes. Lol :)

The whole point of games is that each game invents its own rules, unaffected by the real world, including the rules of other games. Works of creative authorship operate because the author can establish clear walls, then reinvent the rules of that world.

Games are cool because they each are separate universes. They are closures. Metaverse billionaires who want to break the boundaries between games by connecting all game economies are simply trying to rake all games. They’re trying trans-dimensional conquerors like the Combine.

It doesn't matter if it's a choice they've made if they still beat Roku's dev ecosystem hands down.

The result matters more than whatever happens behind the scenes.
