Oh man. I too have a "friend" with a similar story. Except my friend was connected to a pay phone line at a nearby store and managed to route the line all the way into his bedroom via existing unused pairs along the way. All so that he could dial into long-distance BBSes. (Because there were none locally.)

Eventually the phone company caught on and probably _could_ have charged my friend with theft of services or something, but instead just disconnected the rogue line and put a lock on the payphone interface box and placed a large "property of the telco" sticker on it. Probably dodged a significant bullet there, in retrospect.

> But both turds and gold nuggets face the same types of moderation pressure by their disruptive nature.

Again, I fundamentally disagree. You are being vague and overly general on the sort of moderation pressure. The actual banned content on most social media platforms, if we bring it out of context, ends up things like CP and Nazis. If those are the "disruptive ideas" we need to explore truth, then I'm pretty ok never finding it.

On almost every social media site (except, ironically, "free speech" platforms) there is a space to discuss everything from communism to anarchy. Crystal healing to quantum physics. Ghosts to exoplanets. Nihilism to Scientology.

The actual set of banned discussion is pretty much all centered around speech that directly leads to harm.

The reason I keep bringing it back to "what is actually banned" is because when you get right down the actual banned conversations, they are both few and not really worth discussing for "truth".

Name a banned "golden nugget" conversation. You say there is censorship, so list it. Tell me what sort of deep conversation or truth we can't know because we stop Nazis from using the N word.

Tried this, didn't work. The problem is that we go to sleep earlier than the kids, so the kids will go get their devices after they figure we are probably asleep.

This is why I regretted even making a comment in the first place.

People twist themselves into knots trying to justify the unjustifiable. The "trust" mechanism Bitcoin uses is hugely wasteful, with very small tangible (rather than hypothetical) benefit.
So what advantages does implementing spiking NNs in hardware vs implementing non-spiking NNs in hardware? Usually people say "better power efficiency" but I have never seen apples to apples comparisons. Is mixed signal chip running spiking NN actually more efficient than a mixed signal chip running a non-spiking (traditional, GEMM based) NN? Have such comparisons been done in the literature? If not, where is this claim coming from?

Also, why do people try to implement SNNs in hardware, when they don't work well in software? Shouldn't we first try to figure out how the brain actually does it (processes information), and only then try to build expensive specialized hardware for it?
Microsoft also tried to M&A Slack before building Teams. As far as exits go, Slack may go down in history as a particularly not-smart one: they were allegedly quite rude in refusing the M&A offer for what might have been a "golden" exit, encouraging Microsoft to build a competitor in a hustle, and then their later exit to Salesforce was a lot less "golden" and at a lesser valuation due in part to the competitor they helped create through their alleged rudeness.

(ETA: Of course, easy to spin things the other direction and read Microsoft's offer as a bully move "join us or we'll build a better you without you". The reality is somewhere in the middle of the two extreme perspectives.)

This is the correct advice. Postal abbreviations should be used for postage only. If you're a newspaper writer who for whatever reason is constrained for space, feel free to use Associated Press abbreviations like "Calif." if and only if it's preceded by a city. In all other cases, spell it out. Nobody should have to think more than a nanosecond what state you mean when you write MS (Mississippi? Missouri? Massachusetts?) or AK (Alaska? Arkansas?).

I think this article is missing the point, and is not providing a full picture.

First of all, the supersized national oil companies are far worse than the multinationals

Exxon, for example, is now controlled to an extent by activist investor hedge funds that want energy giants to pursue greener energy, and to think more about the future [1]

However, for right now, green energy is not self-sustaining, and cannot provide the energy we need [2]. The question then is, how do we transition in a meaningful manner? How do we curtail methane emissions, and others, which are among some of the worst problems stemming from oil/gas production? Are the energy giants making the right investments now into potential future energy sources that could lead to a greener future? Do we have the right options, or are we missing big ones, that, properly funded, could result in potentially quadrillions and quintillions of BTUs? [3]

Please keep in mind that producing energy on the massive scale required for geo-level requirements is a decades to centuries, and trillions to tens of trillions type of engineering problem set.

What many people consider green energy such as mega-dams and hydro have had horrible impacts on flora & fauna. Technology is both the problem, and, potentially, a set of solutions [4]

Caveat: I am investor in Exxon, and a number of other companies in both green and transitioning to green areas.

I'm not sure this is a big a win for justice as you think it is.

If he gave the car with permission, he has a big problem.

If the son drove it without permission, it sounds like the son ought to get both a DUI and an auto theft charge.

There's been a serious problem in BC, where kids afflicted by affluenza race their parents' cars on public roadways. Luxury cars doing 50, 70 kmh over the speed limit. If I did that in my car, it would be seized from me. If these cars' legal owner doesn't want their cars seized for this sort of stuff, they shouldn't be giving the kids the keys.
Wishes: Microsoft just buy a linux distro. Bless it, so MS Apps only run on Windows. Make it free for home installs and remove these cloud login shenanigans. Friggin' keep charging Amazon and GCP for running it virtually (unless you actually want mindshare). I'd totally flock to Windows (and its paid services). I guess I just don't see why an operating system is still their cash cow. Feels like the stupid that is: buying your ticket and then paying for placement in an aircraft. Anyone remember when you could buy an airplane ticket and choose your seats because you're booking now vs later? 2020 on has been nothing but nickel and dime-ing.
Treating people as trophies to be won is the problem. And yes, seeing it, as a man, as a pure hinting exercise misogynistic. Also contra productive.
Then pipeline to a PS/PDF generator.

For most modern Web publishing, this is mostly a matter of finding and extracting the <article> block, as well as metadata (title, byline, dateline).

html-xml-tools is quite useful for this.

I'd created a WaPo extractor that reduced pagesize by about 95%, stripped the nags and paywalls, etc. Endpoint was HTML, but that could just as easily have generated PDF or ePub if I'd wanted.

I'm fairly confident it was because I ended up finding a ticket later where very similar behavior was isolated to a jvm.options configuration problem.

Effectively a newer config file was lacking a jvm.options line that changed the behavior with an older machine setup. I would not be surprised if AWS deployed a new config to an old environment.

Unfortunately, not having direct machine access, I could not confirm whether this was the case in the failing cluster.
What a shitty thing to say to someone.
I mostly agree. But really RSS and email have basically the same functionality. The have date, time, content. The main difference is that RSS has better markup for URL "attachments" as well as an alternate URL. The "what if the email server is overloaded" can be equivalently replaces with "What if the RSS feed is down".

Spam is an issue with email, the nice thing about RSS is that you know you want the feed, so spam is almost a non-issue. However I have seen it the other way where my feed reader is blocked because they have "bot protection" on the RSS feed. This can be called a misconfiguration, but it is a common misconfiguration, and there will always be some level of protection on a feed because in the case of DoS you want to try to filter out the attackers. I guess for something this urgent you can configure your reader to alert you on failures to check but that is not even supported by a lot of readers.

The other nice thing about RSS is that I am in control of my subscription, whereas email I need to ask you nicely to stop, and hope that you haven't sold my email address elsewhere.

The main advantage of email is that it is natively push, so the updates will almost always be faster (greylisting aside...). This can be resolved with WebSub but support for that is very rare.

At the end of the day they are both open protocols and you can handle them however you want, although the infrastructure for RSS is probably more inline with this use case.

But then again, I read my RSS feeds via email anyways, so I'm probably biased. My proposal? Support both. RSS is trivial to add support for, and if you have an RSS feed you can add a "subscribe by email" form in a couple clicks using existing services.

And overall these public alerts are a seriously unsolved problem. When I lived in Dublin, IE there was a water advisory like this and their only notification mechanism was TV+radio. As with most people under the age of 30 I don't frequently listen to TV or radio so could have been drinking contaminated water for days. I was shocked that they didn't send out a cell-based emergency alert for everyone in the area. But even that wouldn't have caught everything. It would be amazing if my city, province and country all had emergency alerts that I could subscribe to via RSS and email.
If you're uploading streaming video directly to consumers, without an intermediary cache (e.g. YouTube), your upload needs can essentially reach infinity. It's just a question of how many people are trying to view the stream, at what level of quality, at the same time. If you need an intermediary cache, you're more likely to be censored by the intermediary or the political jurisdiction in which the intermediary is found.

It's still superior to everything that came before it (at least, that I'm aware of), and cleared the "good enough" bar. Actually, I'm still not aware of anything that solves those issues without making it way harder to use - ex. nix addresses your points but has an awful learning curve.
Fair enough. I think I may have misread the tone of the post I'm responding to because it happened to sound similar to a line I had just heard in some media - which was used by the character to justify yelling at people.

In that case, it's one of those weird brain associations that pops up.

I stand by the rest, that being unpleasant or hard to work with will make it harder to do cool things. Unless you are literally Elon Musk, Steve Jobs or maybe a few others.

I don’t enjoy pair programming, primarily because it’s a lot of added cognitive load, and I’m already sensitive to that working solo. But one huge benefit of pairing which I think deserves more emphasis is that it gives each dev insight into how the other thinks about: the problem, the domain, design details which evolve during the process, risks/pitfalls, pretty much all of the stuff that can be more contentious or surprising in review. That said, a lot of that can also be had in interactive review, which I think people should do more often.
Sounds like you might need a corporate / edu license (basically the same thing besides the name)

I mean very obviously you're comparing different media aimed at different audiences but even so you're wrong, there are plenty of LTT videos where they dive into their methodology and provide explanations that are fairly in depth. I think you should be blown away by the fact that LTT manages to retain it's broad audience going as deep as they do when it comes to stuff like testing thermals under various conditions. I came into LTT thinking it was clickbait trash but it's absolutely not, you have a long way to go before you get to the "polar opposite of the spectrum".

In any case people are suggesting Ian join LTT Labs, not LTT.

> The rational part of our brain isn't fully developed until age 25[1] give or take. For me it was several years past 25.

This really is a mantra I now encourage young people to live by.

You're going to get to 25 and then you're going to be that person, in so many surprising ways, for the rest of your life. Just with more wrinkles and more emotional armour.

It's worth trying to work towards being the most positive, grounded, socially involved 25 year old you can be, until you get there.

Yeah, sorry, no. You don't get to come after somebody and tell them "you know why". And even if they did know why in general terms (which is a claim you haven't proven), it's still impossible to defend legally without knowing in detail not only the facts being alleged, but the legal theory under which you are accused.

Courts have gotten WAY, WAY too willing to seal things. In a healthy, functioning system, it should be damned near impossible to seal anything a court is supposed to consider. In fact, I'd be perfectly happy to make it totally impossible. Ignoring the intrinsic injustice, courts are supposed to be public, and proceeding in secret undermines their legitimacy.

Anyhow, generalities aside, the idea of sealing anything material to a complaint against access by the defendant is just plain unacceptable. That's true for both civil and criminal cases.
You're lucky, and must have a typical child.

When my oldest child was 2, he snuck an allen wrench in his diaper and disassembled his whole crib. He is atypical with aspergers syndrome.

You "just don't know" how difficult it is for some children to learn self control through reinforcement.
What do you mean legit? Usable in court?

Nothing else is really equivalent to "police entrapment" though. What makes that bad is that it's the police doing it, otherwise it's just asking a favor.

If you can lie your way to getting someone to confess to a crime that's pretty much fine in the legal system, I think. Police do it all the time anyway and not even as some shady thing they have to hide it's just part of the work.
There is a bunch of comments stating that the article is misleading. For example, referring to the first paragraph with the woman describing how her device stopped working. The company's abandoning the tech and almost going bankrupt is only a part of the story, albeit central. They did not disable her device remotely, and they still worked on the tech at the time, but they COULD NOT repair the device:

Barbara Campbell, who received her implant during the clinical trial of the Argus II... But in 2013, after four years of regular use, Campbell’s system shut down in the subway station, and despite some repair attempts by Second Sight, never worked again. While she talked with her doctors about having the implant removed, she ultimately decided that the risks of another surgery weren’t worth it. She still has the defunct technology in her left eye.

It shut down unexpectedly, the company still worked on the tech, yet could not repair it. She now has a defunct neurological device in her head that is supposedly unrepairable and the risk of removing it might outweigh the risk of keeping it. Isn't it terrifying as is? Now to add to the insult, the company that made it shifted to something else, so if it starts causing any troubles, there will be no-one to provide expertise to help assess the risk. It reinforces the main story quite a bit: there is enough risk and complexity as is, regardless the company going out of business.
What door did they break down? The article mentions that FBI agents knocked on her door and informed her that they had a warrant when she opened it.
I have seen the video (or parts of it) and it's hard to imagine how he could not be considered guilty. On the other hand, determining the innocence or guilt of a person based on videos from vigilante groups who have a huge incentive to produce dramatic videos makes me incredibly, incredibly uncomfortable.

But isn't this the free Outlook.com email? In fact, in the screenshot itself you can see a link to upgrade to their paid service, Microsoft 365, if you don't want to see ads at all. To me it appears ethical to provide a free, ad-supported service. It actually seems more user-friendly than, say, Gmail, in that it allows you to decide if ads will be in-line with your mailbox content.
Yep theres also that dimension. Couple more to consider, like if you have a stable job, with ok pay, where you have gotten good enough at the job you get the expected quantity of work knocked out in 30 hours a week. Well yeah that new job might pay you 30k more. But it might end wanting 30 hours more a week out of you (at least when your in that ramp up time). And will probably want at least an extra 10 while your ramping up to your new role. Is it "worth" going from 30 hours a week to 40 even if salary increases?

Also social networks where you are afraid of up rooting your life to go to new city that pays way more but you dont know anybody and would be starting your life over on at least one level completely over. Your primary social network might even already be at work.....
