DNT is not the solution though.

DNT status is not readable by JS (by design), so DNT cannot be implemented in the client. So all tracking calls are still made over the network. It is then up to the server processing those calls to drop them if the DNT header is present. Thus, there is no way for a user to verify that DNT is actually honored.

Hotjar is probably the only one (claiming to be) honoring DNT consistently. Luckily Hotjar is a SaaS where the customer cannot influence this decision. But for all other tracking solutions, whenever marketeers are given the option, they will always choose to ignore DNT.

You are absolutely right to be suspicious. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30580011

The TL;DR is that on a "worst case" basis, it may be 10x faster or even 10x slower than a non-indexed linear scan depending upon latency of backing stores. Physical memories in computers are pretty big these days, but this technique would have been a total non-starter just 10 years before the 2007 article by Norvig. Meanwhile its linear scan competitor would have worked fine. It is also not a great approach if you have a big dictionary of long words and want truly large edit distances (>>5, say). I would say "mid-size edit distances of 2-4" are SymSpell's sweet spot.

"all that kenetic energy released when jumping off a building was formerly potential energy stored when walking up the stairs. How can that lead to life destroying conditions when life previously held that energy?"

The rapid change in environments can make many species no longer suitable for their environment leading to extinction. Sometimes they can transfer to a new environment, or sustain at a degraded efficiency, but often they cannot if the environment change is drastic enough. This is happening everywhere all at once.

Besides the obviously classist implications of voting with your wallet (i.e. people with bigger wallets get more votes, vimes' boot theory, etc) we also already have evidence that it just doesn't work in this specific type of product.

Idunno dude, ISO 3200 is nearly unusable on the D3100 for anything you want a large picture of, the noise was just too much for me, especially so when I didn't want to shoot fully stopped up. The noise has a look of its own and it compressed horribly and would lose a ton of color detail. Maybe with the right software but I like my workflow as is. The newer (relatively speaking) Nikon sensors contribute some additional DR as well, a comparison that I saw in a performance review a while back was closer to 2 or 3 stops between everything.

Maybe it works for your style, but it was cramping mine. There is enough suffering in art, why add to it?

> The difference in light gathering between an APS-C and full-frame camera of the same technological era is usually about one stop. If you make a several-year jump at the same time, that can be noticeable, I suppose.

That's exactly what I am talking about, a sensor and format upgrade after several years. I have a DX body of the same generation and its sensor performance is very close to its FX brother, and they're both considerably better than the D3100.

Reproducing for the sake of doing so is clearing becoming passé [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]. High level, the world needs less people [7]. Lots of roads to get there, all valid as long as they don't cause harm in the process. Live your best life, and for many, that means being childfree. If you're a decent, responsible parent, more power to you, as long as you're willing to shoulder the costs of your children. Culture and passing of it down is seemingly overrated in the current era (outside of some belief systems), and even the Mongol Empire ran out of steam (despite Genghis Khan's progeny and reproductive efforts). Build strong institutions that will withstand the test of time, versus traditional families, marriages, and progeny. Arguably, this is an indicator of an advanced civilization, versus relying on families and tribalism for strength and culture.

It kind of does when you are using it as a silly “whataboutism”.
I went and googled the advertising page of the second chance adoption agency discussed in this article, and it's just heartbreaking. On one hand, I really can't imagine what these "parents" were thinking adopting these children in the first place - the reasons for rehoming go from "major lifelong medical care required" to "child doesn't get along with his siblings" - but, in any case, doesn't seem like many of the issues would have been unknown or that unexpected at the time of the first adoption. I also have the distinct feeling that few of these parents would give these kids up at the ages of 8-10 if they were their own biological children.

Of course, on the other hand, I can't help but think that these kids should be removed ASAP from a home where a parent would consider giving them up after caring for them for 8-9 years.

Just really sad all around, my heart goes out to these kids.
Because despite popular belief, market economies aren't as efficient as we think and they add bureaucracy even when it's not logical to do so.

There was an offer of 1 million USD to anyone who kills him from some rich russian guy in UK.

I have a better idea - 1 billion USD + safe extraction from Russia to any place including closest ones + ie immediate US citizenship. This sum is nothing for the likes of Biden, Johnson (or Musk) and nothing compared to damage this war is doing every day .

There is no way that nobody he meets within next few months wouldn't turn for this, even a group of 10 guys would be OK for rest of their grandchildren's lives. The trick is to do it somehow unofficially, otherwise you are next on FSB hit list, probably with every member of family. It would make him extremely isolated, paranoid, and actually make mistakes and enemies deep inside his pyramid.

“The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.”

You missed the key point: it’s lifetime-to-date net worth (heuristic: current bank account balances) vs. recent income.

As in, if you make X per year; and you have >3X in savings from Y>3 years of spending (a lot) less than you make and stuffing the difference under a mattress, then all your savings in excess of 3X get confiscated.

In other words, similar to people on welfare in America, public servants in Russia are now not allowed to retain assets in excess of a certain limit proportional to their income—even when that income all came directly from their (government) job.

This is analogous to a progressive wealth tax, but not the same; as a wealth tax still allows disproportionate wealth growth for the highest-income earners; while the goal of this measure is to leave you with at most exactly three years of however-much you’re currently making, and nothing more, no matter what your assets looked like before that.

The key “feature” to observe about this approach, IMHO, is that under this system people who are close to the savings cap already, are incentivized to spend every ruble they make, as any extra “left over” come audit time will be taken away. (It’s a bit like the game-theoretic consequences of yearly-limit insurance coverage, actually!)

I had a coworker who seemed to just open PRs as a part of the development workflow. As soon as the feature kind of works, they open a PR, wait for someone to complain about problems, fix them, ask for another review, get more complaints about bugs, rinse and repeat.

Well, my answer there will alarm many. Broadly, it's whatever algorithm(s) you'd call biochemistry. I think the self-replicating adaptive properties of organic stuff, is the heart of how we get beyond what the mere hysteresis of hard-drives can do. We require cells, and their organic depth.

We dont often describe reality with algorithms in the sciences, if reality admits a general algorithmic description, it is surely beyond any measurable level. So I dont think the answer to the problem of intelligence will require computer science till much later in the game; if it is even possible to actually artificially create it.

Whatever "algorithm" would comprehensively describe the relevant properties of cells, even if it could be written down, will never be implemented "from spec". One may as well provide the algorithm for "a neutron star" and expect playing around with sand will make one.
>running scared of social media... citizens voting with their dollars.

That's not an unreasonable idea, but the trouble I see is that those two concepts are surprisingly different. The din on social media is not reflective of the general citizenry. Think of almost any issue that the country is split fairly evenly on. How lopsided is the outrage on social media?

Right now, it's a weapon wielded by a minority, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad.

In a dictionary with more than a few words, some "created corruptions" in the lookup table/index collide with each other. (EDIT: e.g. for "hand" and "and" the overlap of the deletion-corrupted sets is substantial.) You only know which/how many by running the algo against a concrete dictionary. So, these expressions are at best a rough guide.

>people who don’t know what’s happening can’t make informed choices.

it's really distasteful how privacy advocates always assume that everybody who doesn't feel the same way they do is uninformed. the average person has a basic understanding that companies keep track of them online. everybody who's spent more than five minutes online without an adblocker understands retargeting.

it's not that people don't understand, it's that they don't care. telling people they're not informed enough to make their own decisions isn't going to convince them to start caring about the issue you care about.

Both sides are true IMO. The kernel isn't capable of being written totally in standards compliant C, and it'd probably be better off if that fact wasn't used as carte blanche to write non standards compliant code where it doesn't provide a tangible benefit.
They would care forbtwo reasons:

1. Their shareholders would be happy. And the CEO will get attaboys from board members. Taking a tough stance on Piracy costs a CEO nothing. Anecdotes matter little, but I have seen in many cases, when gaming companies adopted new DRMs, people actually bought their shares. And not dumb people, too.

2. There are some assholes who don't want poor people having their things. Some do it for the image purpose. Think of Apple hardware. Older models can easily be sold at a much lower price. Save some very old iPhone SEs, they don't do that. If every Tom, Dick, and Harry owns something, it dilutes a product's value to many people. People want to own rare and exotic things.

Or, perhaps, the best demonstrated performance of NNs exceeds the best demonstrated performance of other known methods for many tasks. But ... the amount of compute, investment in tooling, and attention that have been thrown at deep learning in the past decade is at a scale where ... do we actually know that other methods would perform worse with the same resources? Is there some alternate timeline where in 2012 someone figured out how to run MCMC for bayesian non-parametrics over much larger datasets or something, and the whole field of ML just tilted in a different direction?
FedRAMP also requires you to explicitly give veto power to InfoSec at every stage of design, development, implementation, operation, and maintenance, and to employ a Change Control Board (CM-03).
