Indeed. Personally I think we could solve a lot of our problems by offering users robust content filtering controls and teaching people to use them as a basic life skill.
They are very simple to model and thus well understood. You can easily calculate their error and stability for all possible input, even if you can't model the system very well. How do you proof your steps won't create unwanted oscillations for some kinds of input?

You can also implement them using very simple circuits or even completely mechanical, but that's probably not too important these days.

If you can model the system optimal control is even better. Much more robust than PIDs and can also be done linear using LQ.
Well, at least in the United States, it's the default the other way (there are implied warranties) unless licensed otherwise. That's exactly what most open source licenses do to protect the author. That being said, I could imagine in some jurisdictions, the law limits the ability for people to disclaim such warranties. It would be an interesting case.

That’s not really much of a problem.

Plastic is better off in the landfill anyway. Shipping it to China takes a decent amount of carbon, creates a decent amount of ocean pollution. Burying it locally is usually better managed and sequesters carbon.

But it’s still good that people are in the habit of recycle because metals like aluminum are still very advantageous to recycle from an energy perspective.

Pin your versions, this was so effective because no one pins their version for what they are using.

Anyone saying it was the dick's fault and not yours needs to start owing their project.

I admit that the last time I worked with node it was a cluster fuck of nested dependencies that only works through the prayers of angles above. But standards are standards, own your project.
Otoh, relating to something is based on itself. It's a choice, not an obligation. In one ethical framework you're right, it's irrational to treat dogs better than pigs. In another, both lives are unimportant, but one picks dogs one level up for their utility. Inanimate objects also "experience" that. When you're sawing a plank, it's woodwork. When you're sawing a hammer, it's disrespect to the tool.
There are 3D print attachments you can use. I used them with P100 filters and tested flow. Pretty damned good.

- Viruses are very good at what they do. We can probably expect 100% infection and reduced virulence over time. Most likely COVID will be endemic, we'll have to live with it like we do with cold and flu.

- Governments are very bad at what they're supposed to do. Pandemic diseases are close to certain, but no government was adequately prepared. We got mixed messages and panicked response. On the other hand we got a vaccine in about a year, which is a record short time.

- People have different sets of values and interpret information differently. That's always the case, we just have to live with that and try to respect each other.

- Vaccines are the best protection. Sometimes they have side-effects. They are never 100%. Covering the mouth and nose and avoiding other people can work too -- ancient people figured that out.

Almost everyone I know, vaccinated or not, masking and distancing or not, has got infected, myself included. Short of avoiding all human contact we can't reduce the risk of infection to zero.

Figure out how much risk you can tolerate and act accordingly.
That also happened to me. I once want to drive to a port. And google decides to direct me to drive straight into the port. (The residents even make a sign that says 'If google direct you to here, you are on the wrong way', It seems it had gone wrong for many years and never got fixed.) Who on the earth think list port/lake/ocean into driving target is a good idea???
The EU has majority approval in every single member country and even the UK. In many cases, it gets 2/3 majorities.

Apart from survey data, there have been many referenda on EU membership or aspects of it over the years, with similar results.

Even for the most critical of countries, at the high point of anti-EU propaganda, opposition reached just a hair over 50%, which has turned out to be very unfortunate timing for the UK.

Edit: I had looked for, but forgot to include, the data: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/11/17/majorities-in-...
That's nuts. Is that the official policy? Here in Norway, a laptop would have a 5 year "reklamasjon" (not 100% sure what that translates to in English). Perhaps "forced warranty" would be my best translation. It basically means that the product is expected to last for at least 5 years, and if it doesn't - the seller has to fix it, or give you your money back.

Some products have a 2 year "reklamasjon" while others have 5; it's sometimes a bit surprising which products get 2 and 5 years. Cellphones have 5 for instance, which seems strange given their (ab)use. Companies cannot opt out of this.

Neither of any of the above. All of these animals are used and killed for research all the time.

The issue for many of them is the personal connection and memories individuals have developed with one species or the other. Then it does matter more if it is a pig or a dog that you are doing harm to. For that matter I have known researchers who are excessively fond of pigs, chicken or cows ...
I think it largely stems from this very popular comment from a couple of years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19553840 From an external point of view certainly seems to explain a lot of Google's issues with the stagnation and death of many of it's products.

The fact that there have been plenty of other comments from Googlers to back it up since shows that, in some parts of Google at least, there's a grain of truth there. It might not be the whole story, many teams might be proud of their part, and many Googlers may not be focusing on promition and shiny new things, but that doesn't really matter to Google's users. What we see has been plenty of Google products being killed off, or left to rot. Now even Search has people complaining about it. Startups are getting traction competing against it. A decade ago that would have been unthinkable.

If you're right and teams in Google do actually care about the older, less shiny things they build then Google has a significant brand and reputation problem. If you're wrong then Google has a massive engineering culture problem. Either way, Google has a problem.

Some models (particularly from 3M) can be fit with output filters: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/v101254496/ I have even seen explicit P100 filtering for these output filters.

They are, but most telcos have entirely separate businesses in each EU country, the same way T-Mobile USA has little to do with its European counterpart.

The Telegraph only seems to provide any sources that are about the UK. I can't find any sources outside of the Telegraph for Telefonica, for example, mostly because Google only lists articles copy/pasting the Telegraph.

Apple allows network providers to turn this feature off, but any DPI and analysis the ISPs do would be highly illegal in the EU, so I don't see the advantage that disabling private relays would get them.

Honestly, Apple should provide an override for this block. It seems to be based on DNS, so a custom DNS server should be enough to bypass the block entirely it seems?

Captchas are way harder to solve than it is to detect these sorts of poor results. Google should have absolutely no problem building a classifier that could scale to solve the problem. But as you said, it's not worth it to them, but for the reasons of losing revenue rather than scale and complexity.
There's whole economy around the flight. Ground handling, refuelling, passenger services etc. Charge for an unused flight slot would have to account for all of that too.
This thread is a shitshow of cynicism, everyone outdoing the others to come up with even more convoluted conspiracy stories how this isn't going to help or why it must be motivated by the data protection agency apparently being criminals themselves trying to erase evidence against them. It's quite a sad state of affairs, really.

Another conclusion one could draw from the story as reported is that, contrary to an untold number of assertions I've seen made on HN, GDPR does apply to governments and their institutions. It's a point made in just about every single other thread on the law, and one would expect someone noticing they were wrong, which would seem to be perfect basis for a useful comment. Alas, they all missed this story. I'm sure they'll be back.

A close cousin is, of course, the sense that such institutions will choose to ignore the law, as in any law, anyway, and without any risk of blowback or even chance of becoming a matter of public interest. The story itself would seem to contradict that notion to a certain degree, but that doesn't seem to diminish the opportunity of updating one's belief system with even more evidence supporting everything one has always known to be true.
We used to use npm audit at my last job, and it’d regularly flag dependencies 20+ layers deep - usually with something like create-react-app or jest at the top, and some trivial obviously not actually a problem issue at the bottom.

The resolver tool we used couldn’t fix dependencies that deep even when there were fixed versions available. And since their internal processes didn’t use the same audit tooling, Facebook devs would often close issues requesting dependency upgrades to fix those not actually security issues. I think Dan Abramov wrote a post on overreacted about it at some point too. I’m not convinced any of the time we spent on those issues was well spent to be honest.
I haven't read that article yet, but from what I know, dog meat is eaten all over China all of the time, just not very much of it. But it is mostly a thing poorer people do, indeed for the superstition that it somehow warms the body or something.

And then the northerners say it is only done in the south and vice versa. And I've personally seen a veterinary student from china get very angry every time someone mentioned Chinese eating dogs...
So did all the other animals.
I think it is worth noting that not everyone gets 100% right. You're point would be most accurate if Euler was a Quantum computation expert.

This doesn't sound right because Britain is the name of the island. The American colonies were part of the British Empire I guess.

Not meaning to be dissregarding, but literally everything works like that. We use almost everything (even at the expensw of comoletely consuming it (resources) or killing it (plants/animals)) to live ourselves. And it's pretty much the way of life even without humans. Now, all these don't mean we shouldn't be appreciative, and we definitely arent enough. But we should worship? I don't think so

Utilitarian vs deontology ethics.

Most people believe that it's better for one pig to suffer than for thousands of people to die.

Even the strictest of vegans I know do not oppose animal testing in medicine if it is done to save human suffering.
Not anymore with omicron. The rules have changed, your primary focus should be filtering the air you breath. We are two years into this thing and mask compliance for the general public is at the lowest levels possible. You can only protect yourself in public, you have to start wearing masks that protect you primarily.
Key point:

If the road is designed for 2 car lanes, without much tolerance, something has to give. Either you make it wider, or you change it to one car lane, or you remove parking spaces, etc.

If you leave the 2 car lanes, and make them smaller to fit to one bike lane per car lane, such that cars barely fit, and such that cars can't leave a proper distance when overtaking bikes, you end up with the crappy unsafe solution that the OP is complaining about.

You annoy car drivers, and you give bike riders the impression that cycling is unsafe, so this is actually counter productive.

I guess the key is to make it easy for people to pick any decent mask. I’d prefer yours, but, as you say, you’re already selling at capacity.

I don’t care either way if you make a few percent off a sale of a competitor’s mask, and there’s no obvious conflict of interest, at least as long as there’s some mask on Amazon that works and isn’t sold out.

Thanks for doing all the tests!
It makes sense morally speaking. Regardless of the price, someone who sins for money is a sinner.

Observers of contemporary culture coined the term "McBoatfacing", defined as "making the critical mistake of letting the internet decide things". In one such observation, Jennifer Finney Boylan of The New York Times wrote that to be "McBoatfaced" was to allow people to "deliberately make their choices not in order to foster the greatest societal good, but, instead, to mess with you". The results of the poll inspired numerous similar spoofs in other naming polls.

This is a prime example of the fabled “soft skills”. Humans and our ways are incredibly squishy and ambiguous, so learning to interpret (and dispense) things like “tone” is incredibly valuable.
I agree with this take. Chimps kill and eat smaller monkeys all the time. If you watch any nature documentary you can see how ruthless animals are as it's all a survival game after all.

I'm no biologist but the empathy / sympathy part also seems to be an evolved trait. It should bring stability to a social group and reduce injuries due to needless in-fighting which effectively ensures better survival as a group.
> The law was written to protect providers from guilt by association.

Indeed, so why is Twitter so eager to associate with some users and not others?

Twitter has gone out of its way to censor and shutdown legal speech, while hiding behind S230 protections for illegal speech. I don't want to hear one more word like in this article about "chilling speech," when that platform has done more than anybody else to do so.

By this logic, the NYT should just rebrand as a social media company so they can be protected from their own columnists. Libel away my friends!

They want it both ways: "We, Twitter, have a right to sell ads on your content that is now ours, create headlines which might even be libelous and not be sued, and protect known criminal users on our platform even though we have no responsibility to do so." And coincidentally, most of the blocking happens one way.

Whenever Twitter's called on the subtle bailey about how they vigorously ban people based upon their own corporate values, they retreat into the motte of 1st amendment free speech. I have to admit, that this group all of a sudden became the "Corporations are People Too!" people is quite delightful.
100% agree with you here! Privacy is privacy, it doesn't matter what the activity is. Most money today is just digital information, no different than that text message being sent. It seems impossible to allow complete privacy when sending one type of digital information but not another.

I could send someone the recovery keys for a bitcoin wallet and launder money via any messaging service. If we need to regulate that then privacy goes out the window, you'd have to know what the content of my message was to know if it was allowed.
You could breed "primates" in all sorts of numbers if you wanted. Especially the smaller species. Some fit in your hand. That's really not the issue.

The issue is that they have very complex social and behavioral demands, and yes, more so than pigs or dogs. It is easy to make a colony of dogs in a laboratory live a very happy life. I've seen it, and I can't see a big difference between a companion dog and a lab dog much of the time. They are just as friendly and outgoing and play all the time. With monkeys that's a lot more difficult...

Which is why research in primates is a lot more restricted and more heavily regulated. You need (more) specialized facilities. You also can't handle them as easily because they will bite, poop or hit (the bigger ones) you.
The layers don't look that thick, just voluminous, and likely quite good at letting through airflow.

>Evolution is not a god.

Never said such a thing. However we can influence macro features through something called artificial selection. In this sense we design something through the same mechanism used as natural selection. The difference is, the hand that guides is artificial rather then natural but the outcome is the same: a design, a machine with a specific purpose. Man... this is just pedantry. I'm not here to discuss the definition of a unimportant word.
