"The court system's responsiveness to sex crimes could be greatly improved if we had the collective will to do so. But the problem is both in the courts specifically (because of who the judges are, and who the legislators who write our laws are), and also the wider world."

Responsiveness could be improved on just about any crimes if we had the will to do so. Just look at how many murders go unsolved (about 38% unsolved). Then look at the difference in response the system makes when it's some nobody whose murder didn't even make the news vs a cop/judge/[system participant] who was murdered.

Frankly, who the people are that comprise the system are doesn't matter. The system is not appropriately sized to handle current criminal and civil case volumes. In many cases you wait years for trials. A majority of people accept plea deals, including the innocent. There's very little justice in the system. Between 2 and 10 percent if the incarcerated are wrongly convicted. I assume this is even higher for plea deals that avoid jail time.

And on victim blaming, both "sides" do it. It just depends on which issue it is.
No one is wiping. By “going forward” I mean that if the corrections prove working then for each flight hour the safety record improves in the sense of accidents per flight hour.

The MAX safety record is terrible because there are many incidents per flight hour. Not because there are many incidents.

It needs to fly about 10M flights per fatal accident to be catching up with the 737 NG.
Looks like a nice idea for mobile devices as well.
That is fair. But the Senate majority is slim to none considering how that coal-funded oligarch votes.

And you still can't deny that this admin is trying to help the USPS remain solvent.
It's not just Boeing. Boeing orders certified radar altimeter devices for their configurations, and then certifies the whole assembly of it on a plane. The whole technology of radar altimeters makes it particularly hard to filter out 5G signals at 3.98GHz.

As part of trying to keep flying safe, both attempts to limit sources of interference (i.e. 5G transmitters) and checks on existing hardware (and thus whether it needs to be replaced) are done in parallel. Outside of USA, everyone agreed on various mitigations to limit impact to radar altimeters especially as full impact of C-band 5G is still work in progress.
Efficiency is easy to ball park, but if you want to get precise then every vehicle is going to have it's own moving target. I would argue that no vehicle is especially efficient at 20mph for long durations. Sure you have no air resistance, but you also are spinning a 6 speed transmission when you really only need one. 90% of the car is being wasted. You might as well just drive a self propelled lawn mower.

Even two vehicles of the same make will be different due to differences in operating conditions.

An ICE engine, especially gasoline powered ones, operate with widely varying levels of efficiency. Lets think of a car in 4th gear at 50mph with 15% throttle applied. Now imagine climbing a steep hill. The car can stay in 4th gear and climb the hill with 65% throttle, or downshift to 3rd and climb the hill with 45% throttle. Speed alone doesn't determine fuel efficiency. Intake vacuum (or boost in certain applications) determines fuel efficiency. The trick is to try to go as fast as you can while consuming the least amount of fuel. There is nothing "efficient" about driving a 250hp, 3.0L V6 at 20mph.
It is mentioned in the article. They give it as an example of a pretty useless reading level algorithm.

I would have thought GPT-3 or similar could probably solve the reading level algorithm problem very easily. I thought that's where the article was going to be honest.

I agree the NHS pages are very clearly written.
> How does that compare to just donating directly?

It's definitely less effective than monetizing creators directly, I think that's the best option when it's available, and you have the time, energy, and motivation to do it. But if I watch just 2 or 3 videos from somebody but don't seek to support them outside of the platform, I prefer that they get _something_ for the value provided rather than nothing. I'll admit that I'm a bit lazy and it's convenient to have YouTube directly transform my views into dollars for them.

> If they were to do that anywhere in YouTube, you'd think that would be some kind of TOS violation.

I highly doubt that. Just search for videos about de-monetization or the dislike count removal, people make videos criticizing the YouTube platform all the time. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong if there's some special language around their paid subscription specifically.
I wondered if Fabian Thylmann would be mentioned; it always gives me a chuckle to see his name as he's the brother of one of the co-founders of the company I work for.
In that case, every single airline in the US doesn't care about their passengers' time because I can't remember the first time that boarding actually started at boarding time. And when it does, I'm stuck waiting an extra 15 minutes so all the priority and higher class passengers can board first.
You should be able to choose to decline the “honor” of a company naming something after you, regardless of who you are.
This is one of those science gotcha posts that threads an incredibly narrow line of reasoning. If your battery is (A) dead but (B) you can somehow start the vehicle (how?) and (C) you don't have time to call a tow company to come recharge it or replace it and (D) the battery isn't completely defective and needs to be replaced and (E) you do have time to drive around in hopes that your alternator can charge the battery and (F) I got bored with this list
Yes, this is exactly how they are manufactured. I got them from Schaeffer AG [1] and the three plates cost approximately 300€.

The main feature I want out of any of these, and can't seem to find anywhere, is a way to expose private services online hidden behind any sort of social-auth. So think ngrok+oauth2_proxy.
Curious why there is a derailleur, but seems to be only one fixed gear at the back? Guess you trust that motor to have enough torque to not need any rear gears?
Have you thought about joining a founder community? I'm part of this one called https://founderscafe.io and it's a bunch of solo founders co-working together every day. There's also some YC alum like Rishi, Jon, Nemo, Nikhil, etc., who are really active here and have helped people with their startups & YC apps. So fucking worth!!
No, a UK/Imperial cup is half a pint - 568/2 = 284ml. It's the most outlying cup afaik.

A traditional US cup ('US customary') is also half a pint - but that's of course a US pint, which makes it about 237ml.

A 'US legal' cup (e.g. for FDA and nutritional labelling purposes) is 240ml. I don't know why that's shifted somewhat to metric when the US is otherwise so resistant!

Most people cooking in Europe routinely get accuracy better than 10ml, because they're using scales rather than volumetric measures in many cases that Americans do. I agree it's unlikely to matter though, unless compounded out to many cups of something. If the water content is high, it's going to matter more (and be harder to control/write in a recipe) how much boils off for example.
The theories in seed oils aren't new, at all

Omega6s are necessary. Absolutely. But we're not meant to consume pufa's at the level we do

The poison is the dose.

Even omega3s which are great for you, can give you heart arrhythmias. While omega3 is typically protective of the cardiovascular system, 4-7g of EPA can cause heart issues is taken for sustained periods.

Seed oils (canola, soybean oil,stuff like Crisco, grapeseed oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, sun flower oil etc) are high in omega6s in a way you could never get in nature.

In fact most couldn't exist without modern industry. Most of it is industrial byproduct repuroosed to maximize profits.

And its in everything. If you shop for any processed foods - boxed foods, potato chips, crackers, most granola and cereals, most breads (excluding butter breads), salad dressings, sauces and pre-made marinades, it's in everything.

In fact, factory farming changed what they feed chickens, pigs and cows and radically increased the omega6s in those as well (grass fed beef withstanding)

companies have risen up to make alternative foods (Primal Kitchen being one)

The dangers of our high seed oil intake has been of concern for decades. And it's well studied. If I wasn't typing from my phone I'd link to studies.
The point is a good one - we assume that the benefit of K-12 public education is worth spending money on, and that there is a societal benefit to providing that education at no direct cost to students or their parents.

In contrast, (nominally) private higher education seems to do pretty well financially - even "non-profit" universities. Charging up to $80K a year and/or eating billions of dollars in government grants probably helps - so they aren't exactly independent from public funding, but we consider that funding to be wortwhile in terms of research and education outcomes, even when it goes into the pockets of wealthy, elite institutions.
Comments like yours are exactly why I'm somewhat predisposed against bike lanes - there is no such thing as a "car lane".

By all means yes, get a dashcam. The more evidence, the better. While driving, I've had a few cyclists come around around blind corners going the wrong way. Any type of road user can be an idiot. But the main commonality of your list is people clashing with your own personal expectations. Don't assume that evidence of such will exculpate you (eg #2).
Seems like a UI bug, yeah. After you get back to the dashboard, if you click "support" again, you go to a different page, where you can actually contact support.

For me, it ended up on this URL:

https://dash.cloudflare.com/<myzoneid>/support

Basically, append /support to your dashboard URL.

They bought a drone company that had built a single drone that was better than all competing drones in the market, and then they stopped it. No more support, no more new development, no more production.

So senseless.
But the FAA don't set the noise tolerance limit, the FCC do.

And so far, despite weeks of work, no one has shown anyone is breaking the noise generation limit.

What confuses me here is exactly the FAAs safety requirements: they've said there could be a problem. But they've also not done any research to assess it. And they're not grinding any planes. So they apparently aren't that bothered by safety!?

Holding your savings instead of entrusting them to a bank prevents the government from freezing them. If you try to do this in cash, you lose the ability to transmit them over the internet, and it's easy enough for burglars (or enterprising traffic-stop cops) to just walk away with your savings. Bitcoin allows you to hold your savings without losing the ability to spend them.

It's true that you still need to convert them to local currency to spend them, same as US dollar bills, which are the popular savings vehicle here in Argentina. Around here, mostly the same networks of illegal money-changers handle dollars, Bitcoin, and gold jewelry, though there are some that only handle one or two of these.
It solves a personal productivity problem for you as much as the self balancing Segway electric scooter solves the personal transportation problem.
It makes perfect sense. More people watching porn -> More people noticing that they can’t get hard anymore?

This is a ridiculous take in the context of the suit. It's internal, it wasn't used in any promotional/public material. Someone leaked it to him (most likely broke an NDA). Besides, I'm sure he's not the only "Carl Sagan" around, anyway.
For all of the square brackets, Objective-C is a much more pleasant language syntactically speaking than C++.
It’s just a convenient and lame excuse. Slippery slope stuff is the worst/laziest argument.
By chance I just soldered some 10 awg wire to an xt90 connector earlier today, using a Pinecil no less. It was super annoying to get right. Few cold joints before I got it. The problem was with the stiffness of the wire I used. It made it difficult to keep in the exact right position until the solder cooled down. Would have been easier with thinner or higher quality wire though.
Boeing is not abusing anything - they just published a study on the models of altimeters that were sold with their planes, in specific configurations. Similar studies are performed by Airbus, Bombardier, Dassault, Cessna, etc. etc.

And FCC rules only specified transmission frequency of radar altimeters, and radio is analog and perfect filtering is close to impossible (especially with the kind of chirping signal radar altimeters use, where whole 200MHz of spectrum is spanned in single chirp)
Well, one would be true and the other false. As a general rule lawyers get in more trouble for the latter.
The Bvp47 – A Top-Tier Backdoor of US NSA Equation Group
Is this basically an end-dump of the work that Sam and David did? Or a newly activated resurgence?

Listening to Sam Adams talk about this and some of the ideas they were playing with for massively swarmed processors was pretty cool 10 years ago. Definitely challenged a lot of the classic assumptions about computing dependability, and new paradigms/ideas for how to deal with hyper scale like this.

I wonder if either Sam or David is actively working on these things anymore? Or have they retired now?
Sure. The MySubaru app for the 2022 BRZ gives me a list of green status. Tire pressure and ten other categories. I’m not sure how the car sends the data out, because it’s not connected to WiFi directly. Bluetooth to the app and then out to the cloud? I use CarPlay too, is cell data shared with the head unit?

As a normal consumer this feature is convenient. As a car enthusiast, it’s not any worse than it was before, unless Subaru started including a data recorder. The problem is not because it's connected to the internet.

Back on topic, it would be nice if manufacturers disclosed what data they record. And in the case of Massachusetts, exposing it read-only to the consumer. If they can do it for OB2 decades ago they can do it for max rpm, air/fuel learning and other metrics.

It's compatible with mastodon which already has a fairly large community (you can follow peertube users and their videos will show up in your feed.)

I think this kind of social network absolutely is the future because of how incompatible people's ideas about what is acceptable and what isn't are. If you find an instance who's moderators share your ideals you're good to go. No need to learn a new technology or give up most of your social network even!

> I believe 6 provinces have lightened or removed their COVID mandates as a consequence of the Freedom Convoy, is this not so?

It's not so. I saw that Fox has been saying that, but Ontario had it already planned well before the convoy. Same with the other provinces, each to differing degrees.
the problem is involutory porn. that is what the article focuses on, not the moralistic aspect of nudity
Have you driven an EV with “one-pedal-driving”?

I agree that the regen efficiency is reduced at lower speeds, but many EVs are perfectly capable of coming to a stop quickly on regen and only apply the friction brakes right at the end of the stop.
>When they caught a competitor ripping off content from Pornhub to create a knockoff website, engineers placed a link to the offending website in a few pixels of the Pornhub homepage, where millions of people clicked daily. The resulting tsunami of web traffic swamped the pirate site and knocked it offline in minutes — the kiss of death.

Content copying competitor aside, is this type of response even legal? It feels like another form of DDOS.
This kind of makes sense.

Cloudflare is essentially a giant membrane / shield / firewall for your website (or network).

Area 1 could be argued as roughly the same thing but for email instead.

Cloudflare is likely expanding their play into this space for their security suite offering of managing every single thing in-and-out of an organization.

Personally, I hated the idea of Area 1 and relaying all private emails through someone else. We literally, to my knowledge of how it works, have clients updating their DNS MX records to all send through Area 1 versus their own private Gmail accounts!

But now that Cloudflare is taking over I do not really mind. Trust pays off.
The aviation hardware was compliant with the FCC rules (transmitting only within 4.2-4.4 GHz). FCC didn't specify anything about received interference, and didn't apply any of the methods used elsewhere in the world to limit leaking by 5G towers in 3.8-4.0GHz range.
> using flds instead of fields appears to be abbreviation for abbreviation's sake

God yes. Why do people do this? I recently moved into hardware and it's even worse! Someone abbreviated a TLA to a single letter. Like instead of CPU_CLOCK it was CCK. Madness. These aren't printed on a silkscreen!
Very interesting. Does this have any implications for more accurate precision when floating points are being worked with in big numbers by any chance?

> whatever is at stake in questions of advertising, surely it isn't moral

Wait what? No, of course it is, almost everything effects morality in some way.

> But you're also claiming there are definitely desires that are worse to have than others?

Yes? I'm not seeing the contradiction. Whether a desire is bad or not is unrelated to whether it's a "true" desire (or whether the idea of true desires makes any sense at all).

Dumb on-the-spot analogy: there's a bunch of silver metallic balls rolling down different tubes, the tubes are painted so as they roll the balls get colored different colors. Further down, the balls all get merged and then a robot destroys any red balls, and sorts blue balls into one box and green balls into another.

Being red is clearly worse for the balls (smoking is clearly bad for you, moral absolutism). But the balls didn't start out red, green, or blue, their environment molded them. If a blue ball gets painted green at some point in the future, it doesn't make sense to say that the ball is _really_ blue: the ball was metallic, all of its color was painted on one way or the other.
Involuntary porn is so harmful specifically because of the moralistic aspect of nudity.

We could just accept that sex is normal and a video of you fucking isn’t different than a video of you playing golf.
We needed that for Corrientes.., more than 10% of the province was on fire..., Argentina, northeast..
When designing a feature, there could be a new measure that quantifies the degree of reliance on the OEM to repair that feature in case it breaks.

In other words, even if the feature is technologically innovative or useful, the manufacturer would need some kind of incentive against implementing it if the ability for a third party to service it is non-existent.

The same could be said for software features as well. (Such as: "how many salaried employees would I need to operate such a feature at scale", etc.)
MacWeek published an article about the code name, along with the code names "Piltdown Man" and "Cold Fusion" for two other Power Macs. That's how he found out. So, two well-known scientific hoaxes and him. Sounds like they were implicitly calling him a hoax as well, though I think they were just hoping to make "billions and billions", and putting those three names together was something MacWeek, not Apple, did.

Sure, Sagan probably shouldn't have sued a second time, it just triggers the Streisand Effect. But it's understandable why he was pissed off.

Also, though our culture prizes it highly I think "being famous" is probably in many ways very weird and bad and seems to drive many people insane. I don't think I could handle it and would not wish it on an enemy.
under what kind of law would it not be?
Far as I can tell, it's not so much that you're actually culpable. But someone can sue you for it, and it won't be immediately thrown out, which means you may need an expensive and time-consuming defense. You'd probably win in the end, but what a pain in the ass.
Just FYI this dark pattern is called Shrinkflation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkflation
MacWeek published the code name.
From the analysis there, it looks like the US suffered an intense drought last year and replaced the lost hydropower with coal. That probably pushed the global total up, but it's not a given that it has increased overall.

But anyway, yes, let's keep replacing them. The faster the better.
Neat. Has the design work yet looked at safety of how the boxy assembly and its pointy bits might interact with rider's legs in an accident?
This is more as if DoD accidentally included bits of 10./8 in their announcements.
That's another problem. This particular platform actively promotes the worst video, even if it does not accurately represent the community. I must ask: who is accountable of this spectacular moderation failure?
You still have a lot of options with crypto even without the exchanges. I pay for DNS and my VOIP service with it and could pay for a lot more if I had to.
It's probably used to keep the chain under tension when the rear suspension moves around.
The information density is even higher than that (double), because one pair of bases has 4 possible states. The pair A-T is symbolically distinct from T-A, for example.
I used PETG. I’m happy that I tried it, but it is hard to make 3d parts work, when they are subject to loads.
Non-volatile memory tech. Once storage and ram become one and the same then the need for addresses will explode.
That seems like a very plausible non-causal link?

Or, fair, if the thing being caused is the diagnoses then this is technically causal. :P
That someone who takes control of moderation should be the user.

In the past, most USENET was small enough that people maintained their own individual blocklists of bad actors and ignored them. Today, we crowdsource a personal blocklist with EasyList and other lists that users opt into.

The only centralized or automated moderation any media needs is to stop bots and spam. If you went to opentube and you had the option to view only "family friendly" videos then even sensitive people could use the site without being offended.
