Oh boy, you’d really hate Too Old to Die Young, which I loved.
When you are not exposed to ads constantly it become clear just how obnoxious they are.

I think advertisers have been dialing up the attention grabbing features over the years, and those constantly exposed don’t notice. Those who haven’t been watching now experience being exposed to the equivalent of ten babies crying for your attention. It’s truly and attack on your senses and sanity, but you have to remove yourself from it for a time to see how bad it is.
GDPR works rather well, if given enough teeth. At the very least, nobody in the EU and the UK is quite so reckless with personal data as they used to be, which is the point. The infinite consent dialogs... I'd argue they were an oversight during the drafting process, and that nobody expected companies to go full-idiot just to keep processing and collecting data, rather than just comply with the law in the simplest possible way - which is to just stop collecting guest visitor data.
I am a younger (24) man and I was HPV vaccinated in the US in my public middle school. It should be rolled out more broadly.

Yes, all taxes ( i include social charges and stuff like healthcare, retirement, etc. payments) are counted based on your total income - some provisions.
>Where is this metadata written and at which point?

NTFS alternate data stream.

It's the responsibility of the software that created the file to populate such a stream. Common browsers do so for downloaded files. Something like `curl` probably doesn't (I don't have Windows to check).

>Does adding this metadata messes up checksum or digital signature?

ADS contents are not considered when checking the signature.
I actually have fond memories of fun, musical or funny ads and watching them. We went down the wrond path somewhere, almost like we're stuck trying to optimize a local optima.
They also share the implementation language that allows for such kind of bugs, so no wonder.
Their ads still show up in WSJ
It's interesting how your histogram and candle chart shows that, while the mean has shifted, there's a sliver of samples with greater cosine distance than anything previously recorded in the dataset. So I guess while the system has become more inclusive of boilerplate language, it's also become more inclusive of far-out novelties. I'd be interested in reading those abstracts.
It is all but obvious.
This data doesn’t prove anything, so why should it be accepted that it’s the vaccines?

This is unfortunately still very common. Trans people do not even need to have sex to be excluded (merely existing suffices, we're all prostitutes don't you know) from donating blood here in Germany.

Funnily enough one of the sources used in the risk assessment report made in the 2000s was literally a porn site.
You don't offer any evidence for a rebuttal. But I'd be happy to address specifics you believe are examples of its poor writing.

When making critical comments, can you please use more substantive words than "amazing" without evidence? There's no content there on its own. What examples do you have from the series that cause you surprise or wonder (in the negative)?

I believe the existential meditations on a largely evil demiurge figure are fresh takes in the genre. The birth of a serpent from an android's body that could be the insane prison warden of a far-flung planet and the odd forms of punishment the Mithraic people mete out (like the explosive helmet tethered to an android caretaker) are lovely adornments on a thoughtfully realized world.

>> no consumer would check a block chain to determine ownership

Your browser or media player could check ownership metadata. You could donate a fixed amount per month to the most used sites or creators, or whatever you decide.

The web is free, but what's say $5 a month for a better experience paid straight to creators to run alongside uBlock Origin? More useful than paying $2000 for a useless NFT monkey with one leg.
Unpopular opinion here, I'm sure, but this line of thinking is precisely what kneecapped Star Wars: the need to know everything. World-building is the antithesis of character-building.

We fall in love with this stories because of the characters. We then become fascinated with the possibility of the worlds, then the worlds are built out, and then it sucks, and then people go "well, no, the world should have been built this way or that way," and then that's tried, and it sucks too, and now the franchise has lost all that made it interesting in the first place and all sci-fi just kind of devolves into one bland soup of all the other sci-fi, and everyone along the way forgets to write compelling characters.

And who are the compelling characters in Blade Runner? Those who were written about: Replicants, and those who hunt them. The world was not the point, the characters and their conflict/struggles and the issues those raise were the point.

Why do we need to know about the other big evil corporations, when the sense that there's only one, and that's the one that builds the Replicants, is so much more compelling? Not to mention that the primary function of the Tyrell/Wallace Corporation is to serve the characters.

Who cares how space travel works as long as it does? Who cares what the colonies produce, unless the fruits of that production can aid in telling an interesting story revolving around a character as interesting as Roy Batty? Can you really tell a compelling story about a worker on an off-world colony -- and if the answer is "yes," why does it need to be part of Blade Runner, and not its own thing? The colonies are almost certainly not interesting because they're better than Earth -- there's likely less conflict.

Hollywood folks are incredibly influenced by precisely this kind of discourse on the internet (source: I work in Hollywood), and it drives me nuts because it's just the blind leading the blind.

Going "what else could happen in this world" feels good, but it almost always is the death knell of a franchise, because it's fundamentally the wrong question to ask when writing fiction. The question that results in good story-telling is "who is this person," or "who does this happen to," and allow the world-building to grow organically from there.

Pretty spot on, it’s a fairly popular criticism of the stock market that it’s disconnected from providing much social utility. For example that some companies have massively outsized valuations.
I think if computer science degree weren't about industry, there'd be far fewer terminal undergraduates floating around the world.

If people came for the science, everyone would ride off, discover something, and get a PhD.

I just see formal proofs as something you get a genuine scientist to do. If you're someone focused on rigorously correct proofs, you get a rigorous PhD.

I don't pretend that I'm up for that, or that I'm qualified to produce quality work in that space.

But I also don't believe any of my fellow terminal undergraduates are the right sort of people to do this work.

Let's face it, we all had a close encounter with the mathematical proofs, and ran in the other direction as fast as we could!

I don’t think that can be generalized and taken as a sample. Australia, in terms of density of population and culture, might as well be another planet in comparison with say, Italy, or Spain.

Can you be sure you've never been exposed to HPV? HPV is extremely common, most HPV infections are asymptomatic, and HPV can lie dormant in the body for years.

Rather than "worry," there are a few actionable items -

1) Get your HPV vaccine and encourage others to get theirs

2) Get regular cervical cancer screenings ("pap test") if you have a cervix

3) See a medical professional if you have any symptoms
It seemed to me that the XD team was always quite small. I found it interesting that Adobe never put that much resources into UI design. Maybe the market isn’t very profitable. You would think it would be huge because so many companies need to design UIs.
So which part of those 2 statements you quoted is false? Sure, the energy of usage of Bitcoin is not directly used to process transactions, but it still part of the Bitcoin system.
People look at companies too cynically here. While obviously Valve wants to make money, they also have a culture and values that don’t always align with a Homo Economicus perspective. Not all of Valve’s actions can be trivially explained as the fastest route to dollars.

Unlike most companies we discuss here, Valve is not publicly held, and doesn’t seem particularly interested in being so. That, combined with their dominance of the PC gaming market, means their culture is more free to let them target things orthogonal to making money, when the whim strikes them.
Is it cultural? I see those differences within my own family.

You’re really lowering the bar for success here. It’s now unreasonable for a computer to correctly add two numbers together? Give me a break. It wasn’t even reasonable for a Pentium chip to incorrectly divide two numbers back in 1994.

True, the title does feel misleading, but I don't know how they could make it less misleading while conveying the same information. At least they mention in the article that "gay and bisexual men are still more impacted by HIV relative to population size".
people keep saying this in every thread. I don't understand how that works. Is it that people in the "weak" states are using BTC for commerce or are they exchanging BTC to USD and then using it. How does it work? I doubt there are exchanges which will do the BTC -> USD conversion. So what are these people using to do this? Coinbase?

What are the odds that stem cell treatment proves successful for people like your brother? And in case it is successful, do patients return to full health?

This service seems like an insurance to me. In case of an unfortunate event, you are covered. People are right to question the efficacy of stem cell treatments. Unless treatments are effective, it’s not worth paying for.

I’m also interested to learn the answer to this question GP asked:

Kotlin exists because JetBrains wants your money, that is all.

> The next thing is also fairly straightforward: we expect Kotlin to drive the sales of IntelliJ IDEA. We’re working on a new language, but we do not plan to replace the entire ecosystem of libraries that have been built for the JVM. So you’re likely to keep using Spring and Hibernate, or other similar frameworks, in your projects built with Kotlin. And while the development tools for Kotlin itself are going to be free and open-source, the support for the enterprise development frameworks and tools will remain part of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, the commercial version of the IDE. And of course the framework support will be fully integrated with Kotlin.

I could, I do, and often there's just no basis for looking for a deeper meaning other than that it happens to work, or that you need more words to not make things sound too rushed for example. You might as well ask a Markov chain why it produced the outcome it did, because sometimes the process of writing those specific words is no more guided by anything meaningful than that.

This of course does not hold for everything. Some parts are essential plot elements. Some writers in some works absolutely do pound you over the head with symbolism on purpose, or layer in things you might never notice. But that doesn't mean everything in a book has a message or a purpose other than to read well. Some things are just filler.

Oracles are cool, but I humbly submit user-resolved markets as a cleaner and better mechanism.

As akrolsmir says, someone could commit to resolving according to an Oracle.

But mainly, it allows for a diversity of approaches to serve different user and subject-matter needs. Some markets can be resolved subjectively, others need to rigorously specify each case. Plus, the real world is often ambiguous. You need someone you trust to make the right judgment call.
It is highly optimized, so it is rare for a completely new strategy to emerge. But it also depends on the mix of other warriors, and you can create different types of environments and challenges.
Watch out, @richgel999 has posted many horror stories of working at Valve on Twitter. Things like bosses convincing employees to take on debt (so they'll have more leverage against them), employees competing ruthlessly for bonuses (breaking their code intentionally), and other weird side effects of working for a self-organizing corp.

Actually apps like Grindr (and ofc Tinder for heterosexuals) allowed for more short-term sexual contacts than ever before, thereby massively helped the spread of STIs.
Sorry, your point about exclusion of bisexuals was actually totally correct. Also, creata found more up-to-date numbers.
Can't answer your question but AFAIK the vaccination only covers something like 6 strains of HPV and there are many more.
I just send it when asked through WhatsApp or Telegram. It's time-delimited, not a blanket permission.

Probably.

Google is telling me you can receive the vaccine as early as 9, but it’s typically recommended/given at 11-12.

If that’s correct, HPV is something as simple as foot/hand warts that can often be spread in things like gym locker rooms. A fair amount of people are exposed to those environments around or before that age, & sometimes it’s spread by something as simple as your shared home bathtub/shower.

That's what is required for the network to remain secure, but there is no direct mechanism to cause that to happen. You can observe all the other blockchains with weak security as experiments: there is nothing preventing the security from just dropping to the point where it is easy to perform 51% attacks.

I like to explore the game mechanic. I abandon games once I feel like I figured out the game loop and don’t want to invest in the grind.

Why do it? Because building stuff in the real world isn’t necessarily better. What are you gonna do with things you build? In a game, at least you’re not wasting real resources.

Riding a bike is probably better, but what do you do when you’re done?

So personally, I think it is totally fine to invest these 100 hours and then abandon, because they were entertaining. You don’t have to deeply invest and hence, I don’t see it as "a problem".
That is quite impressive. I've dug in a little bit, I'll look more tomorrow.

They aren't murderers, but they sure are bullies [0], time wasters, attention thieves and they try to manipulate you into changing your mind about your choices.

Maybe the ideal is that it's none of those things, that advertising in theory should be about matching consumers with the product they'd like best - but the fact is that in the age of the Internet, it's been nothing but unwelcome manipulation, and everyone puts up with it because it's the only funding model that's "free" at the point of use.

It's about time for them to lose some power.

My general complaint as a distinguished member of the leaky abstraction crowd is not that abstractions can be leaky, but rather that they are sold as if they weren't... with creators being so willing to ignore from how many places their abstractions leak.

This is not the case here. It clearly says: "we can deal with the simple cases nicely! but no promises beyond that!". It's fair.

My core argument is that tools do not solve problems, they transform them, and you can't trust a tool that doesn't acknowledge that. This one is saying it transforms the common cases into simple ones.
At least in dota2, you don't have to buy anything to play the game in its entirety. The lootbox and market places are only for cosmetics which doesn't affect the game play in any manner.

> It has nothing to do with friction.

The point I am making is that gas going through a shock is a fundamentally different process than a gas being adiabatically compressed. The former causes an increase in entropy; the latter ideally does not. While a shock isn't "friction" per se, like friction there is dissipation (and at entry speeds, quite a lot of dissipation).
