When you're the 800-pound gorilla in the room, you will always end up in controversies. The fact that the controversy is whether or not Google is demonetizing or making harder to find trans-friendly content in the index (instead of, hypothetically, a world where the controversy was that Google were forwarding the contact information of creators of trans-friendly content to the proper authorities for "reeducation") is indicative (thank God, and may more be like them) of their America-centric morals.

You are absolutely right that for Google to serve everyone, training an AI to do so is a massive challenge. My bet is that they will train several AI and deploy them in broad domains, which is someone equivalent to how they currently operate heuristics that vary from country to country (such as the borders in Maps changing depending on where the request originates). Google seems to tend to like this approach because they think they get the best of both worlds: they satisfy the geocentric power-brokers by saying "See, we have done the right thing by you, when your people make requests they see X," while at the same time knowing that location is a bit of a fantasy online and the sufficiently savvy can get answers from other locations by causing the question to seem to originate from elsewhere in the Internet (i.e. VPN-proxying).
If they let other browers engines on iOS people could choose more privacy focused browsers.
Actors at least have a good excuse: there are various rules in the industry and/or unions requiring unique names (stage names, if necessary) for certain things.

He does mention one emperor in the middle of a chain of them who prefers the older, “more true” style. It stands to reason that if such skilled craftspeople were available for him they would have also been available for the ones immediately preceding and succeeding him. It being a hipster affectation or intentional throwback makes more sense than assuming he lucked into the handful of guys with the requisite skill sets that nobody else can find.
Good job, that's quite something to see, thanks.
As far as I know you’re supposed to use the NSGestureRecognizer system to recognize this kind of gestures and it’ll automatically make it work like you write. If you try to handle all the events yourself you end up doing a lot of work for probably a worse result.
I definitely used to think that way. It's the type of thing that is a lot of fun to be a part of, until it isn't anymore. It's a thrilling way to self identify, until it becomes your entire identity.

I hope they all end up ok.

Most growth stocks are in free fall right now, so that's not a meaningful point.
It is quite likely that the caliper will need to be replaced. The hydraulic pressure that would normally activate the brakes has likely pushed the piston out, possibly making contact with the rotor under pressure (or making the seals suspect, having allowed them to travel beyond their design range). That’s the “worrying scraping sound” the owner reported.

Your point about “they must have the parts in the country” is a valid one, but it’s probably not going to be just a forgotten pad that they’ll need to slap in there. As a shade tree mechanic, if I’d somehow put my car back on the road without a brake pad, I’d do more than that. I doubt Tesla’s going to think differently with liability on the line.
Yeah ok my comment was unclear. My quote from the OP isn't false and the "no" in capitals is over the top and wrong.

Yet the airline story does show that the mean (a bag of means of different factors) can be used -- is often used, wrongly -- to construct an average standard (or ideal) specimen. That specimen is then used as a reference, yet it doesn't exist.

Also

1/ The normal distribution without a standard deviation tells us little about where a specimen lies in a given population;

2/ A normal distribution is often assumed when next to nothing is known about the actual distribution, and that's an even bigger problem, especially in social sciences.
Are warp drives science now?

Antarctica is a great idea as well. I am not sure what the political challenges would be if somebody with a sufficiently absurd amount of money to throw at the project actually attempted it. The antarctic treaty is supposed to prohibit nation states from claiming pieces of it as sovereign territory, but those negotiations from the 1950s/1960s didn't really envision modern billionaires doing such things independently.

Whether somebody would have the early stages of their construction project shut down by a flown-in team of military forces from some major nation states (US, Russia, UK) is another question. Or simply blockaded and shut down at places like the ports in Chile, Argentina, Tasmania, mainland Austrlia, New Zealand, South Africa.

I was curious whether Fua'amotu International Airport is a stop on flights going elsewhere but I wasn't able to come up with a good search. It sounds like it could be:

"The air field was constructed by Seabees of the 1st Construction Battalion with assistance and labor of the U. S. Army 147th Infantry Regiment. It was intended as a World War II heavy bomber field, and had three coral-surfaced runways. In the late 1970s, it was expanded to permit jet aircraft to use the runways. Fuaʻamotu is now suitable for up to Boeing 767 size aircraft, but remains closed to larger jets (e.g. Boeing 747s)."
Thanks for explaining this. I've been wondering about why FEXPRs disappeared ever since the first time I read about them. Such a simple and elegant idea that for some reason was replaced by macros which are much harder to understand. Also explains why functions aren't lists of code fragments which you can manipulate.
It reminds me of Carmack's subset of C++. In other words, it doesn't suck.
Liste to your wife. She is right. Having a depressed, burned out husband will impact her as well.
Self-censorship is the other half of this problem. How many of us here have self censored our writing out of fear of painting a bullseye on our backs? The more you have to lose, the more cautious you are. If you’ve spent a lifetime studying a certain field, building a business or becoming a well know expert, you risk having it all taken away if you provoke the ire of the mob. And the mob has nothing to lose and everything to gain by targeting well known public figures.

The result is that absurd ideas enter the public psyche and not one expert will risk their career by contradicting them.

The democratization of publishing is an exciting breakthrough in all of human history. I’d rather have it than not. But this post-truth era that is emerging is worrying.

Technically, the ECPA is still on the books in the US, prohibiting devices that can receive the old 800 MHz AMPS cellular band.

The ECPA was always a complete legal atrocity, and I don't think it's been enforced for many years, and cell phones no longer use NBFM or anything else that an unauthorized receiver can decode, but...

The rich "glamp" like the poor get homeless and those for whom company is a choice think doing things alone is ok, even a treat. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion, so long as one chooses to be alone or do things alone.

I would just like to emplore such people to seek an alternative perspective that their experience might be drastically different if they did not choose the situation to start with.

Chosing to drink alone and not having someone to drink with are different things. If you are in the latter camp, don't try to normalize or enjoy the situation. Find a drinking buddy or figure out how to meet and make such friends.

It's also the tried and true method a family remains functional and successfully raises children to become psychologically healthy and responsible adults. But every new father wants to reinvent the wheel like it's an egotistical matter of his choices. This is how kids get screwed up, the extremes of no father and too much father. Kids with friends as fathers turn out to be real assholes. Father should just sit in his chair, read his paper, watch his news, and be bored out of his mind, but you know, ready at a moment's notice to discipline at mother's request, or to rush a broken arm to the emergency room, or just be positive and supportive when things don't matter, and it is so rare that anything actually matters.

Right, and where are they used in modern text except to refer to computer-related concepts?
Yeah, the caliper and rotor seems like more stuff they should have on hand though. And at first it sounded like just a missing pad.

I don't do my own brakes and don't know about the caliper, but rotor replacement is pretty routine, I thought. They usually resurface them whenever they replace pads, and replace them once they get too thin. So having no spares seems a little bit too JIT for a car company.
I suppose that one could consider a place like McMurdo as a proof of concept of such already, since its necessary annual inputs of cargo and life-support supplies (food, etc) are extremely well documented at a granular level in terms of the purchasing and procurement process and cargo manifests.
My point is that Tesla is borrowing an old Soviet trick of prioritizing shipping cars, over shipping parts necessary for fixing those cars.

Which is why the customer was quoted three weeks shop time to install a freakin' brake pad.

You will no longer need to code to be a programmer. I give it 5 years max 10 years. They say software will eat the world. I did not expect software to come after software coders but I guess they are also part of the world. They are the largest expense as well as the fastest growing expense on most of the worlds largest companies balance sheet so replacing them would save billions.

I agree with a lot of this but definitely disagree/challenge the perpetual meme of America “abandoning Afghanistan”. The mistake was going in the first place. The next mistake was staying. I haven’t deployed to Afghanistan but did to Iraq. Many of my friends served in Afghanistan. It was a lost cause and staying there was exactly what failed American dynamism would be. It’s exactly what a failed institution would do.

Unfortunately nation building in Afghanistan was and always would have been a failed endeavor. Nothing short of colonizing Afghanistan and making it an American state ala Vietnam in the HBO Watchmen show would have sufficed.

A lot of the mainstream media (which doesn’t have even the slightest clue) believes that any American change in troop location means a “loss”. This is incorrect. Geopolitically (and it’s disgusting that it had to happen) leaving an unstable Afghanistan was actually really bad for American geopolitical rivals such as Iran, Pakistan, and China.

Biden may lose the election over it, but he made the right, and difficult call to withdraw from Afghanistan. We didn’t need to keep spending money there. It was a double down on a failed product.
Unfortunately all those advantages also mean that the experiment would be less than useful for simulating a Mars colony.

There have been many attempts at self-sustaining/closed ecosystems over the years, with a distinctly mixed track record.

That might be silly, but its not downright misrepresenting concepts the way this article is complaining about, e.g.

the main problem I ran into with qubes is that having a xen hypervisor and an nvidia desktop graphics card in use (with proprietary nvidia drivers in use for proper performance) seem to be mutually exclusive. a xen dom0 needs to use the host system RAM in some way that causes kernel panics and crashes when the nvidia DKMS driver is loaded.

I would wager that 99% of xen related development is intended, as it should be, for dom0 server environments that will never have a keyboard, mouse or 3D capable video card plugged into the bare metal.
Could you name a couple of these states that have such a Constitutional prohibition (or even a statute) on any state employee making more than the governor?

to really attempt a simulation at it you'd need to build something along the same general concept as biosphere-2 (but much bigger, with more supplies, more redundancy, higher budget etc) and then put it at the very far end of an extremely difficult and arduous logistics chain for periodic resupply.
What I current wonder about is the lack of proper integration between the calendar, reminders & notes apps. The more I use them (separately, unfortunately), the more I think they should be different facets of the same app.
And they should share the same database (for ex, a "Idea" reminder could be also a Note, and could also be added to my calendar).
I don't know if this is entirely fair. A drink can loosen you up and stop you from fixation. This *might lead to new introspection.

There was SubgraphOS which used namespaces, but it seems pretty dead.

Qubes is the best and most currently complete thing i've seen (In the last couple years its also made progress supporting GPU domain). Its not perfect and has some controversial opinions like default passwordless sudo in VMs, but it is still far ahead of most distro's security.

For me Qubes 4.1 performs well though I have it on an m.2 and have plenty of ram. It boots quickly, with the only seriously slow thing being VM startup. I'm able to do all my dev work and use Windows for work related things on it as well as have disposable browsers for banking and sketchy sites.
Medium is where the piece we’re talking about was posted - “The Shameful Decline…”.

While the article in SA does seem appalling, I don’t see this single article’s publication as justification for this broad indictment of SA. It’s concerning, yes. But it’s ONE ARTICLE, and that’s all the piece talks about. OP may well be right, but they haven’t shown it by the citing of ONE ARTICLE.

If a scientific periodical had an article written by a flat earther that would be bad. If there was a torrent of criticism and the editor defended the article with vigour you would write off the entire periodical. The article discussed above is just as bad as flat earth, but with different polital valence.
Would you also be ok if Government pressured your Employer to impose new conditions?
This is simply not true. You make it sound like it's some part of the justice system, and it simply isn't in the US. The Department of Labor operates within the Executive Branch. There is no trial. There is no burden of proof on whomever files the application, though likely a threat of perjury if untruthful. If someone dies at work, workers compensation is automatic... there is no way to lose it nor be denied if a survivor applies. It probably takes a few months, but it isn't dragged out for years. If injured, I think the entitlement for injury at the workplace is about 10 years, and if permanently disabled then entitled to lost wage benefits until death (i.e. not just until retirement).

I don't know what you're thinking of, but it isn't workers comp. That always gets paid without a fight.

There is no separate product - it is a feature of the main product. Please point out where documentation says it's for enforcement because that will need to be corrected. It can help teachers educate students about plagiarism but it's not meant for enforcement. It's a student tool.

Here is the text from the linked landing page describing the plagiarism checker feature (emphasis mine):

Our free plagiarism check will tell you whether or not your text contains duplicate content. Our Premium plagiarism check highlights passages that require citations and gives you the resources you need to properly credit your sources.

This makes it quite clear that is an authoring tool, not policing tool. Plagiarism masking is not addressed by design. It's a trivial thing to code if there was a need but the company made a decision to stay out of plagiarism enforcement (at least for now).
