To all downvoters: please consider that 2260 URLs with 100 characters each make 226 KB. That's 1/4th of a megabyte... On a news site! And for what?! As if infinite scroll wasn't bad enough, you now have the solution you wouldn't have in the first place if you hadn't decided that it's an excellent idea to play with the user's brain by displaying new articles masquerading as the continuation of the previous one. Yes, I know, the ship has sailed, but the whole issue still bothers me.
Bigger than mortgage security fraud? I guess the big difference is that people managed to do the scamming instead of Wells Fargo and Citibank this time.
You’re confusing 2 issues when it comes to Australia’s water usage.

The first is the Murray Darling Basin, which is the 4 state disaster you’re talking about, and the many poor outcomes it has created. I grew up (and my parents still live and farm) about an hour south of the QLD border. Different regulatory frameworks means NSW farmers can pump with QLD farmers can’t. And we’re talking pumping from the river, and that’s what creates downstream problems. Particularly when farmers on one side can pump and ones on the other can’t.

The Great Artesian Basin is a different story. It requires pumping and drilling and is regulated totally differently. Probably the biggest changes have been the significant cuts to water licences, but even moreso was the capping of free flowing bores that occurred in the 90s and 2000s.

Artesian basin pressures have been generally stable or rising across the last 10-15 years, reflecting stabilisation of consumption-recharge cycle - even in the face of 2 of our worst droughts on record. The largest contributors to drainage have always been stock bores, as agricultural/centre pivot usage got off the ground a lot later in Australia than in the US, and so the regulatory framework wasn’t so far behind usage and didn’t create a tragedy of the commons scenario as in the MidWest USA
This can be really annoying. I went into an ENT for an ear infection. Doctor looks at me really seriously and tells me I have "otitis media". I look it up. It's just latin for "ear infection". That's nice, but I came in to learn what to do about it.
More or less impossible without dismantling the water rights legal structure of many western states. In states like NM, AZ, CO etc., the state does not have the legal right to administrate water usage in a meaningful way, certainly not the way that states east of the Mississippi River can.

And while that would likely be a good idea, it will meet tremendous opposition, even if that opposition is foolish in the long.

BTW: moving water to the southwest is a terribly dumb idea.
I have seen cases where people get caught even after using many middlemen/intermediaries involving seemingly multiple unrelated contacts, breaking the trades up into tiny batches, using encrypted chat services, making normal trades and trying to mix the illicit trades in.

>Try to apply some adversarial thinking and envision a situation where you want to insider trade, but don’t want to get caught.

Criminals take great efforts to not be caught and still are.
I'm not sure WASM buys you anything you couldn't already get by just running your whole entire app in a VM. And if walling an app off in a VM makes it not useful (i.e. it's not useful if all it has access to is network & sandboxed storage) then using WASM in a browser would have similar issues. Or if a VM adds too much performance penalty then WASM probably does too.
Other active listings is not a good indicator of legal activity. At best it might describe success of policy enforcement.
Another reason to be concerned with Windows is that the Microsoft Store monitors everything you do with the software downloaded and installed from there. It records when you open it and what you did with it, and then puts it in pretty little charts for complete strangers to see. Here's an explanation of just ONE report it creates with collected data: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/usage-r... .
Very similar to upvoting on reddit.

The % of value that you create which you keep as COMP decreases as your value creation increases.
Question is also where that water all goes - they say an almond takes 1.1 gallons of water but it clearly doesn’t all end up in the almond.
I mean you can. Compromising Windows networks that are poorly configured is hilariously easy.

That doesn't mean a Linux/macOS network is more secure inherently - I find people patch their macOS and Linux devices a _lot_ less than on Windows, so I find a lot of older bugs and exploits work really easily.

Entirely depends on how good you actually are at your job & keeping stuff locked down and patched.
If you google "roberto carreño avengers apps" (name of the guy and name of his business which probably causes trademark issues)

You'll find a bunch of screenshots of random cheap looking apps that find wallpapers, phrases to tell to girls, spanish radios search.

So they most definitely rely on ads on their apps and not on building good ones.

The probably got so mad that they wrapped up the construction ahead of schedule so they wouldn't be tempted to come back to that sloppy joe place.
The problem is the author built a full scale product before vetting it. He could have built a few examples with scripts and spreadsheets, put together a deck showing mocks of the product and examples of how it works, then pitch it to potential clients. This would have cost a lot less money and time, and they would have reached the conclusion earlier that this wasn't a viable product market fit.
Oh I mean you could close your eyes and throw a dart at the map of mathematics and find any clever application thanks to <<insert-name-here>>’s ingenuity. I’m just saying that I had, as of yet, not known about or encountered a significant use of Maclaurin series.
Take a look at Phoenix. Way more than tripled, and now uses less water for residential purposes that it did in the 1990s.

Your assumptions that people living somewhere are the main users of water is way, way out of touch with the reality: the main user is agriculture. In my state, NM, residential use is 7%, commercial/retail/business is 7%, evaporation is 7% and agriculture is 77%.
Does Oxford care about SATs at all? They have their own system in the UK right?
I'm sharing this as I found this read incredibly interesting. I highly recommend this book for an insightful discussion on where our globalized economy has been, and where it may be heading.
My bad since that wasn't you. These threads tend to get long in both content and time between messages, and it gets easy to mix up statements.

I do think people should always try to operate rationally in the market as, even though it isn't perfect, it will generally produce the highest likelihood of success.

In any case, I appreciate the engagement!
Maybe start with a Gemini browser. :-)
Is that necessarily to “make sure there was nothing installed there”? Or could it be that they needed to keep the OBD port open for normal service purposes?
Fuchsia's Documentation Types
If you want the dev team to monitor their own apps, you'd better give them good tools to do it, i.e don't expect them to restart the server if you don't give them the power button.

I've seen this far too many times.
You don't need to go to MIT to be a regular-ol' front end javascript or .net programmer.
It’s perfectly reasonable to label and train for better responses to real world questions. What’s bad though is that the system doesn’t seem to actually be learning much, as demonstrated by the question about whether to use a bat or a match to start a fire - if the network can’t extrapolate trained answers onto slightly rephrased questions, it’s doing a bad job at understanding and learning.
2260 * 100 bytes = 226kb not 226mb.
I don't know what our "official" take is, but given that a rack of servers is going to draw, you know, a lot of power, I do think that keeping it simple has been a bigger priority than trying to minimize draw here. It wouldn't have a macro effect on the product's power usage anyway.
I remember when the Hayes command set started to become the standard, because for a while you could get on a group chat on a BBS and press +++ATH to make the outbound modems hang everyone up. I think there was an AT command to remap that pattern, but it wasn't adopted by all the BBS software right away.

Edit: To clarify, before then you would have something like a 300 baud modem that didn't have an out-of-band command set, so you would dial the number on your phone and flick a switch on the modem to make it connect and everything would be sent to the other side verbatim. The "+++" is the escape sequence you send to a Hayes modem to break it into command mode, the "AT" is the prefix for the command (attention?), and "H" means "hang up". IIRC, puritans would say "ATH0" because the "0" represents some particular state to hang up to, but it's the same as "ATH".
It seems like you'd have to do a lot more than just set up the pipes and pumps to make this something that would work well. With things as they are, it seems like it would just turn into a "too much traffic? add more lanes" kind of thing. Pump more water to California and California will just use more water. What will stop a state from essentially letting California suck it dry, as it has basically done to itself already, for political or financial reasons?
Crediting unions solely for pursuing the creation of federal workplace safety regulations is a bit of a revision. It was a issue of significant public interest in the late 60s, and the specific reason that OSHA ended up being created was that Nixon had made a campaign promise to address workplace safety.

But regardless of the history, it’s not longer especially relevant to the roles of unions today, and certainly adds nothing to the value unions supposedly provide to their members.
That's a great question.

Two things here:

1. The reader view only displays publicly available web content (it is made available to search engines and any public web client. We render through an anonymous proxy to protect user privacy.

2. We will share revenue with any media organization that wishes to partner with us from paid plans, and we hope that many will offer higher levels of paywall content (not publicly available) to Andi users.

Micro-payments never worked out for media companies. And no one will subscribe to every site on the web. We hope to offer a way for media companies to share in search revenue. Google and Facebook took away their revenue and leave media and content producers with the crumbs left over. Our model is to share any revenue from paid plans 50/50 with content makers. We are only a 2-person team in alpha right now, but we'e already talked to contacts in media and they are incredibly supportive of what we are doing. Media companies hate Google and what they did to quality journalism and democracy.
You might be aware, but it's possible to watch YouTube videos at faster speeds by entering certain simple JavaScript snippets into the browser's console. Just in case it helps.
I can't help but feel like this could really make a mess of things.

What I think would be nice is if there we tools that better allowed us to create "social gardens" on platforms like Twitter, platforms that allowed us to better cultivate the topics we care about while allowing us to keep out some stray topic from someone who we otherwise follow because of something entirely different.

There is of course the argument that this could lead to even worse echo chambers, but for me the more pressing concern is preserving my mental health and disengaging entirely from the political conversation. Doesn't matter what side of the aisle they're on, Twitter pundits are unhinged and I want to stay out of the twisted world they inhabit. Meanwhile, I find that Twitter is actually a really useful platform if you carefully curate the people you follow. There are some powerful ideas if you know where to look.

Ah, but who am I kidding, people would much rather possess a nuke than a garden.
At the desktop? I’d say no it’s not reasonable. I think its better to let users run the OS they are most familiar/productive with and mitigate security issues via more practical means.

Banning windows servers from use would be more reasonable.
The Humane Interface is amazing. I managed to build a consulting deal as a single 20-something dev in Tokyo in part due to being able to explain concepts I had learned in the Humane Interface.

Even if I don't necessarily agree with everything in it, it gives a meaningful vantage point from which to offer constructive criticism of an interface.

(Even just the advice about about avoiding modality was extremely helpful.)
Now don't smear, it's against house rules around here and @dang will get very cross.

I've heard the argument, I repeat it because I take it seriously and it seems plausible to me. I am not sufficiently expert to know with /certainty/ so I don't claim certainty because that would be silly. Moreover when you point out an argument that appears to have some merit but you have not yet made up your mind about, someone here frequently responds with a well-reasoned perspective that is different and based on evidence. Such things make conversation here worthwhile like this particular one basically isn't. Best.
I love these kind of anachronistic efforts, like the one in the article or the one getting Rust to run on Win98[1] from around the same time.

Your example is surely "who / what you aren't" though? A man who isn't a woman (or vice versa), but wants to be, for whatever reason.

What you are saying is true for a lot of AI startups/labs, and it's a big reason of why I "left" the field (I'm still in ML but not in computer vision)... But I'd argue that GPT-3 is a great example of the opposite. It does not need humans to run, and the algorithm/architecture has been reproduced by different projects with similar results. Adding a filter or hard coding blacklists for offensive speech does not mean you need humans for the AI to run.
Thank you so so much! We know this is a very different approach to search, and we appreciate and want to talk with every single person who is giving Andi a good work out. So please let us know if we can help in any way at all!
> Is the sky-link GPS device still sending location data back to a Sky Link server?

As someone who used to work in that industry, no, it's not sending location data. You don't activate the SIM until you have someone who is going to pay for the service, otherwise you're losing money for no reason.

We'd get that question often though, someone activating a device hoping they'd be able to see everywhere it was for the last month.
If someone spent 5 hours a day on twitter, and blocked a new person every 5 minutes... then after 4.5 years of doing this every single day, they would reach 100,000 people blocked.
> Valuing something like breadth of experience and being a well rounded person might be considered one of the things that makes a western style education as good as it is.

so imagine how good great test scores and being well rounded is!
This is important difference.
If you get ambitious and download the source code, the integration tests make it exceeding evident as to why this is there case. Or rather more the lack of integration tests. But it’s hardly a knock against the localstack guys. AWS is a huge surface to cover. I’d love to see AWS absorb the project and release us something official. But that seems unlikely.
We’ve reached peak crypto.

Are you saying you support racial discrimination?
These are skills I use every day as a surgeon. Also grew up extremely poor. Close to perfect SAT/ACT which led to a full ride to good private school. Math degree. NSF fellowship. And, so on..

Would not have happened without the SAT as I was working after school through middle and high school and had very limited 'extracurriculars'
It was hard enough for me to take the GRE when I went to a uni of 50,000 in a city of around 1 million. The testing center on campus naturally was booked out long in advance. Nearest center was 35 mins away in the outerbelt suburbs in another county at that point I believe, in some huge office park on a stroad without sidewalks nowhere near any bus lines. If I didn't have a car to borrow, there would have been zero way for me as a college student to get to this student testing center short of reserving three hours per leg to bike on de facto highways, which is baffling, but that was the reality.
I think that this is the right approach. As the machine has no way of knowing these things as it cant live in the real world, it relies on humans living in the real world that match is better suited than bat. And, it's perfectly reasonable that the AI had no way of knowing how different a box is -- so it has to rely on humans to tell it that box cant light itself on fire.

Reading the help docs, I couldn't quite visualize what this "Leap" button was. There's no image (that I saw) of the Canon Cat keyboard on this site. Turns out the Leap keys are situated directly under the spacebar: https://www.theverge.com/2011/12/28/2665791/jeff-raskin-cano...

For the way I type, with my thumb angled so the knuckle would hit the Leap key, that would be absolutely infuriating. But it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

It also had a "Learn" key, which seems to have been used for constructing macros. Neat! The example they give for it is a find operation to replace "dog" with "cat". I think the vast majority of people who spend a lot of time in word processors today still don't know how to use macros, and part of that is an accessibility problem; what sub-menu (or sub-sub-menu) would that be hidden in? It's interesting to think of an alternate reality where users learned to create macros as part of using a computer. Maybe we'd have more coders if so.
And this is the same reason whites rank lower than asians and jews?

Thanks for trying Andi. Depending on the query, you will get very different sets of results. Currently we fall back to traditional-style web search about half the time, but as we build out our own data stores and vertical indexes with specialized content in different areas, you should see less regular web search, and more results suited to the type of question you asked.
I recently went through grad school applications and waded through dozens of sample essays and tips for writing a great “statement of purpose essay”.

Based on the admissions decisions the school made (as reported by Reddit) and the changes to content length made over the years, I suspect the school cares about precisely four things.

- Can your write a coherent essay?

- Can you clearly state what your qualifications to pursue the academic program are?

- Can you clearly articulate why you want to complete a 3 year program?

- If there is a problem in your background e.g. a low GPA, can you clearly state why you don’t think this will be a problem going forward?

I suspect everything else was entirely ignored.
Standardized tests are extremely structured, and therefore easy to train for, so you can do well on such tests and yet lack other basic abilities which are important for less structured contexts.
The YouTube app on my Android has a straight up "Don't recommend this channel" button that does what it says on the tin. Honestly I use it pretty sparingly.
Garlic Ice Cream is actually a thing. Admittedly the only place I’ve seen it is at a garlic festival.
Silicon Valley elite VCs (like Mike Solana - the guy who requested this feature) are terminally online. They have opulent wealth, but spend their day glued to a phone. I suppose that’s a sign of a true addiction. When you could be doing almost anything else, and yet you spend time on an app that embodies pure hell.
> I hypothesize that the student who took 8 times longer isn't going to do so well at MIT.

Sure. But the grandparent's point was: if you're the student taking 3x longer, your parents can buy you a disability diagnosis that gets you extra time.

> I never memorized the trig identities. I simply knew them from using them a lot.

Yah, a reasonable course would make this possible. My analytical trig class was pretty heavy on obscure identities, and the first exams I was like-- no big deal, I know how these are derived, I can figure these out as I need them... For the purpose of that class, nope.
It is also beginning to be prescribed by many of the subscription medication/doctor businesses that are springing up, powered by VC cash and looking to build strong forward flowing subscription businesses. Their model is:

- find areas that aren’t medically serious (speaking relatively, and in relation to life threatening - erectile dysfunction and male pattern baldness)

- run people through online questionnaires

- get an online subscription runner stamped by a doc on their payroll

- send out generic medications that they get cheap, package them nicely, and make bank on markup

- catch them on the next condition they roll along to

The last year I’ve seen a lot of them shifting into metformin (after finasteride and viagra/cialis) for weight loss
I agree.

A while ago a deleted an old profile I had that followed a number of political and/or hot-take types, which were addictive but never left me feeling happy. With my new account, I follow only makers, artists, engineers and software people.

I don't mind if those people very occasionally post something political, but if they do it too often I unfollow. Nothing personal, I just want my Twitter experience to be a happy and inspiring place.

Now, what if one of those people liked some post that I don't think people Ought to like? Should I ban them by association, even though I previously enjoyed their creative content?

(I guess this is moot -- a person who follows based on their interests rather than their political echo-chamber wouldn't use this tool.)
It could also have been the case that they were just bragging to friends or people at bars/parties about it, but either way I agree that it's much more likely that someone heard about it and then tipped off the SEC.
