UP already has passive monitoring, and active monitoring.

They are in fact arresting people.

Then the DA is not doing shit to charge those arrested.

What more do you want UP to do? They are literally giving criminals bagged and tagged to the police.
I draw graphs of it very akin to the schemas in the article
Genau! Actually, this perfect duality also extends to other phrases, like “priyatnava appetita”, just like Guten Appetit! At the same time, in Ukrainian you’d say “smachnogo”, similar to Swedish “smaklig måltid” (lecker Mahlzeit), as “smak” means taste in both languages.

At that point we would all be better off if the washing machine design was just open source, since then there would be actual competition among clones, and companies hungry for profit willing to build a brand with some reputation for quality who will do actual Q/A, and when they break parts are available from multiple vendors, and the industry will converge on standard designs for certain major parts.

It's actually intellectual property restrictions that make possible the kind of scam business model you described. And I think without them we would see the cost of living go down as major goods got cloned and extra costs were shaken out of the designs. 3D printers got 100x cheaper in ten years after the patents expired, and I think this principle can generalize.
Definitely.

TV updates are another thing. They change things with abandon and you can't revoke the updates.

Sometimes they break stuff and then you have to pray and wait until they hopefully fix them at their leisure.

IMO, it should be illegal to issue unrevokable updates so you can't get a product to have identical features as it did at the time of purchase. You should always be able to wipe it back to stock. Same with phones.

And the people who might crow about "security" - my device, my rules. I can block it on the network if I want.
Tim Cook Personally Lobbying Senate Judiciary Committee
I don't see how that's any different of an issue for when any machine malfunctions and kills someone. Was the design or manufacture of the machine negligent in some way? Was it a failure mode that we've decided is rare enough that no one is at fault?

Self-driving cars may be new, but deaths caused by machines are as old as machines.
Street painters sell kitsch art instead of modern art because the average street buyer prefers kitsch :)

Conversely, I guess museums showcase modern art instead of kitsch art because the average museum buyer prefers modern art. I don't know whether the average museum goer prefers modern art, although that's a chicken-and-egg situation; maybe more people would go if the art was more kitsch.

It's understandable that laypeople would enjoy kitsch, while enthusiasts might become bored of it, want something new, and seek out experimental modern art. There's a place for each type; I just feel that their places have flipped, and the art world focuses on what only a minority actually enjoy. This unfortunately spills out into public spaces (architecture, public parks, etc.)

Regarding forgeries, I guess we can separate artistic value into historical value and aesthetic value. The original Mona Lisa has more historical value than its copies, but equal aesthetic value.

Appreciate the feedback lhorie!

Yes, when the result has very few samples (or none) the estimation can be very unreliable sometimes.

I guess we should be careful in such cases, better explaining to the user that the estimation is based on a very small number of samples, so not reliable.
Does it really look at second letter first or is that snippet taken out of context (it isn’t implied that it does in that email, just that it doesn’t use a library function) ? Since most requests are GET it still makes sense to handle that case first. Though after trying to common cases looking at the second letter for the P subcases may save some branching.
Ah I see. Never worked as a consultant/contractor so I wouldn't know!

The quality of life of a female with Asperger’s is dramatically higher than that of a male. My whole family has it and it’s clear. There’s something about the female brain that is not impacted the same way. The liberal media loves to ignore this and they lean in super hard on “shielding” or whatever where they say the discrepancy is explained by the fact that females just deal with it better. And the rest of the gap is explained by sexism, of course. It’s a fucking lie and it’s bullshit.

The one advantage of playing the cat-and-mouse game is that the longer it goes on, the more complexity ends up being in the firmware (TLS, HPKP, etc as you already listed), which increases the likelihood of a bug that can be exploited to take over it.

Perhaps.

I think the core reasons why OLPC failed include:

1) Bad people. By bad, I don't just mean "incompetent." I mean sleazeballs in it for themselves. That's not everyone on the project, but folks like Nicholas Negroponte.

2) Bad risk management. OLPC tried to reinvent everything, down to the display technology. If you take a dozen major risks like that, only one has to fail for the project to fail.

I don't think it got far enough to reveal any fundamental reasons why it had to fail. It was a lot of bad execution.

I don't mind repeating similar mistakes if we go further next time.
>No way the powers that be would let Intel's manufacturing plants go under.

Perhaps that's part of the calculus too; if they know that Uncle Sam will backstop any failures, are they not also making the same play as their competitors were in the 80s?

The problem is that by the mid-1980s Japanese competitors were producing
more reliable memory at lower costs (allegedly) backed by unlimited funding
from the Japanese government, and Intel was struggling to compete…
> being pro Israel at least in the USA is a right wing thing, at least from my perspective as an outsider.

There are a few things going on: Jewish Americans vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, there is a powerful (and loud) conservative pro-Israel lobby, and hardline conservative Christians overwhelmingly support Israel - likely Israel's most powerful American constituency.
Our minds have something like a circuit breaker that kicks in when our capacity to integrate our experience is overwhelmed.

You might want to take some time alone to be with your experience and not need to process the experience and behavior of others.

With time you can adapt to what happened and reclaim your full experience. For now there is dullness and fatigue while your mind tries to hold together your old way of being.

It will get better—if you let it. You must learn to feel.
The article you linked to seems to say the universe is indeterministic:

> Indeterminism in Quantum Mechanics is given by another "evolution" that the wavefunction may experience: wavefunction collapse.

I’ll give you that it’s not a fully settled issue though:

> According to the Copenhagen interpretation of QM, it does mean the universe is non-deterministic. There are other interpretations of QM which allow for determinism though. Which is the correct interpretation (if any)? Currently, no one knows.

Here’s another article:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/29/the-battle-for...

> Most physicists would not regard the events in our universe as deterministic, or clockwork if you insist; they are in fact considered probabilistic

> randomness (ie indeterminism) has been proven to be real by the National Institute for Science and Technology’s work on a randomness beacon.
Doing Boyer and Moore proud.

I think that if you want to support all verbs, you face at least 3 'ambiguities' whether you first check the first, second, or third character of the string. (It must be at most the third, as the shortest verbs are 3 characters long.)

First checking the first character is ambiguous between POST, PUT and PATCH. First checking the second character is ambiguous between HEAD, DELETE, and GET. First checking the third character is ambiguous between GET, PUT, OPTIONS, and PATCH. [0]

edit As danachow points out, the verbs are not all used with the same frequency. If real-world performance is the goal we'd presumably want to optimise for the GET case, which presumably means first checking the first character, as the 'G' is unique to GET.

This isn't jobs data... This is an estimate, by an unknown source, as to what the employment numbers might be be at the end of 2022. From your site:

> In 2019, around 157.54 million people were employed in the United States. For 2022, an increase by almost 2 million employed people is expected.

Also, do we think this estimate is recent? The US economy has not been adding jobs as expected, and has undershot recent projections by a lot. New hires were 300K short of projections in November[0] and 200K short in December!

You're right. But if the target is on the fourth floor of an eight story building, a drone (or human) might be the only way to get the weapon there.

Slaughterbots provide better leverage of air superiority than current missile-based options.

> I think we can agree UBI is not possible in low income countries.

This got me wondering, what is the best analysis of whether UBI is feasible economically for a given country? How low is too low? Does it boil down to something like the difference between average per capita income and average per capita GDP? Or something else; is it possible to afford UBI even if GDP is lower than personal income?
> big logos of community groups and charities at the bottom

Are those actually legit charities? I've never heard of them before, and at least the rightmost one ("SafeToNet - incorporating NetNanny") sounds like it's just a lobby group of some internet filter company, or an Internet filtering company itself.

If those are legit charities: Remember the names and make it known among friends what those charities are supporting.

https://www.mariecollinsfoundation.org.uk/ proudly sports the logos of Microsoft, Google and Facebook at the bottom of the page. Maybe those companies should be made aware of what they're indirectly supporting with their logo.
Technically, no one owns property. True ownership is in allodium (by virtue of you being there and keeping others off) but there are no allodial land titles left except in certain US states (Arizona and Texas?) but the Federal government kind of supersedes them by virtue of having the most and biggest guns and controlling all of the surrounding land.
It seems like Boeing evaluated the altimeters they use and determined that with the filtering they have only a 100MHz guard band was needed.

Apparently though there exist radio altimeters with basically no filtering at all, which worked properly in practice, since sat downlinks had nowhere near the power level needed to interfere. But now we are adding more powerful transmission closer to the altimeter band than was used previously, and altimeters designed without using meaningful amounts of filtering would be affected.

That claim that 400MHz of guard band (as this initial rollout still provides) might be insufficient for some altimeters is really something. Ideally the FAA can determine which ones they are, and deem them no longer airworthy.

I'm also wondering if in fact it is just that the standards for altimeters are far looser than what all altimeters actually implement. The FAA concerns seem to be based on the signals potentially interfering with an altimeter built to just barely meet the testing specifications, but they might all actually greatly outperform those specifications.
So, more proprietary hardware which now only MS controls, only they can update and audit. According to security researchers, is not physical tamper proof. Tackles niche security issue while the number one vector of attack, comprising 80% of them, is social engineering and not kernel modifications. And, according to you, eliminate piracy which not only doesn't hurt the gaming industry but has also become redundant with multiplayer only titles dominating said industry.

Nah, it's just a play to gain more monopoly into PCs and what runs on them. Today, it's a nightmare to get something signed for MS. God forbid you need to sign drivers. With them moving the goal post every now and then, broken APIs, broken SDKs and support SLA of infinity, pluton is a forced dependency.

Pluton is a pure business move with zero customer value. The greatest threat, last year, in security was supply chain attacks. And this tries to "solve" kernel modifications? End users have nothing to gain.
Note how nobody at the OP made his comment has mentioned a) or b) except those 'critical' of Israel, and how 'nobody wants to touch that' accurately describes how every thread about NSO has the same Israel-Arab conflict comments.

Furthermore, if we look at these past related threads, we can almost always find some person with the same opinions crying victim before anything has been said.

This absurd victimhood - one that places some imaginary nonexistent hurt to some outsider before either side's actual hurt - describes very effectively the mentality and connection to reality of those 'critical' voices.
This is often the opinion of people who don't see a cost to them. I'm going to guess that

(1) You don't live near one of these tracks where violence may occur and violent individuals are congregating.

(2) You don't know if anything you buy travels along these tracks.

(3) You are wealthy enough that a 0.1% increase in price doesn't bother you.

(4) You don't have kids growing up in that area who notice that it's more profitable and easier to rob trains than to go through school and produce something.

(5) You aren't on a train crew whose lives are being threatened.

How am I doing so far?
@emptybottle - I don't know why this is happening, but it is:

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to doc.tidalcycles.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem."
Ditto. I think it's like doing gardening, or jugging, or riding a unicycle (waves at shannon). The change of mindset and switch in cognitive usage whilst still taking advantage of "success" attributes like discipline, organization, ability to project manage onself/setting milestones, allows me to actually focus better on my job, when I get back to it from my "hobbies".

And I'm also sure many will also have encountered that moment when you have really focused and dug deep into a problem and hit an impasse, then force oneself to take a break and do something completely different, and in the midst of it all, "aha!"
I am really surprised I haven’t heard anyone talk about false positive rates, false negative rates, or bayes’ theorem since covid tests first became available. I mentioned it to family when the stories of conflicting tests showed up on the news and they balked at the idea of using math…we are very different people, my family and I lol
To me, it coincided with async (long polling/comet/SSE), more live, web applications. Apache had a horrible story around this, with one thread per connection (I believe Apache 2 may have had an optional execution model, which was also uncomfortable for some reason).

I used lighttpd for this, mentioned in another thread, rather than nginx, which was a similar breath of fresh air coming from Apache -- not only for the event loop model built around epoll and friends, but also the configuration and general deployment.
Don't judge governing systems using a small number of countries, try to look at more. For example, with their work ethic maybe Nordics can arguably make Social Democracy work, but would it work in say Bulgaria?

The only way to solve climate change is through technological evolution. I see almost zero progress with policy changes. BTW, we wouldn't even be in this mess if would've completed the previous energy tech transition from hydrocarbons to nuclear as planned. What stopped us? Politics.
I paid $20 for Valheim and played that for about 6 months.

Got Conan Exiles for $12 and played it for 3 months.

If you really like playing a wide variety of games, and like to rent them, then a $10/mo deal is excellent. I like to buy inexpensive games and play them for a long time. Should I even mention the 15 years I got out of StarCraft?

I'll go in waves, playing one game like crazy for a couple months, and then maybe not playing anything for a few. I like going back to the games I already know I enjoy and playing them some more, so I don't want to rent them.
I'm not sure how good a deal this really is.

I can definitely see why MS bought up publishers and developers to add to their stable - they can now, like Netflix, sell a monthly recurrent service that will keep their customers entertained with 'free' releases available on day#1, plus a leased library.

But (to me at least), they were already there. I'm there on PC and think the sell is even easier on Xbox.
Buying Activision seems a bit pointless. Sure they can now fold in wavering CoD lovers, but the franchise is already looking a little wobbly - but they're paying for a company that's valued as selling a game every year for $50 to lure in the subset of customers who now think game pass is now worth it with CoD.
(That's a shitload of new subs they need, or the price is going up)

My larger concern is that when they bought Zenimax or even minecraft, they'd paid well for 'good bones' they could build on. Activision is really just a pile of slightly rusty franchises (https://www.denofgeek.com/games/activision-blizzard-microsof...)

Now maybe they can revive some of those - Doublefine knocking out episodic Gabriel Knight makes me moist, or simply Guitar Hero with new weekly tunes - but MS could have done similar for a lot cheaper.

If I'd had the money in my bank account, I'd have maybe just had a slush fund to pick up and promote new talent/IP.

If they really wanted infra, Steam is still out there. If they wanted IP, Sega.
The quickest way to figure out the IP owner is by putting the code on GitHub and waiting for a DMCA.

This doesn’t make intuitive sense.

It’s all in how fast the interceptor updates to reflect the new trajectory. If it were magically simultaneous and their mass were the same, the energy would be the same, no?

Or is this something I am lacking findamentL knowledge on.
And also, why not change the Windows button symbol?
Unless UBI's crazy-high, it's still going to be plenty appealing to work to have money for entertainment, travel, social signaling, better services/opportunities for your kids, to attract mates, et c. I have exactly no idea where people worried about some mass refusal to work at all are coming from.
The shariah justice system is the best in the world and one of the reason's why Islam has flourished so well there. It is by no means perfect, but a pious society only works when the rules are enforced.
Double stud construction cheaper? Maybe a while back...

Spray Foam although rated at R-21 preforms much higher since it seals. Blown in Cellulose settles, attracts dust, rodent nesting, and doesn't seal and isn't a vapor barrier or water proof. You get what you pay for I guess.

We have a house in Northern Ontario that is around 4000 Sq/Ft (entirely spray foamed). The costs to heat and cool it are 1/3 compared to the house 2800 sq/ft house in Toronto (insulated with Fiber Glass, Attic Cellulose).

The biggest hurdle is folks just don't give a fuck about the mechanical part of the house. Dry wall covers it all up. What's important is the finish that you see everyday.
We do ask the general question of "what costs are we willing to bear to reduce the amount and human toll of actual slavery". Actual slavery is illegal, certainly, but there are still instances of it happening, even today[1,2,3]. We could spend more resources to further reduce the number of cases where this happens, and there are plenty of people saying we should. In theory, a complete enough surveillance state, where the movements of all people and all monetary transactions are tracked and analyzed, might even be able to get the number of such instances all the way down to zero, but that seems a lot less likely to be a good tradeoff.

So yes. We do the same for non-wage slavery. We do the same for any bad thing that trades off against a different bad thing.

It’s called military surplus Velcro. You get a second rubber case for the tablet that you apply Velcro to the back of then apply the other side to the treadmill in an area where it makes full contact. I have seen videos of people in Velcro suits jump and stick to walls so I’m sure it would work with a tablet.
The difference for poker is it takes a lot more play time to sort players by skill. There's no ELO to climb and thus you don't get to play against more challenging opponents.

e.g. I'll lose 100% of my matches against a Chess GM but against the best poker player in the world I could go all in preflop every hand and still win the match ~20% of the time.

Only way to counter this variance is to play lots and lots of hands (Law of large numbers) It could take weeks/months in a single matchup to determine the better poker player.

In terms of playing for real money, in general you'll find more challenging competition at higher stakes. But then there's an incentive for bots.

No idea what you do in Safari that makes you go to Chrome.

I'm not trying to pick on Terraria, but I think it's a great example for the reasons you are bringing up.

Even with the 'value add' of the update, I no longer play the game. Why? Because I invested in learning and mastering the game as it was when I bought it. The forced update removed all value for me, and I'm the one who made the decision to buy it.

If the product is changed significantly after purchase without my consent, then I feel I should be able to revisit my decision to purchase it. Otherwise, it's a sort of bait-and-switch scheme.
