At one point I got my physical junk mail load down to a trickle by writing "refused - return to sender" on it and dropping it back in the nearest mail box. The sender has to pay for return postage, so that will get you dropped off their lists right quick.

Unfortunately, it's high maintenance, and it doesn't take too much of a lapse to get back up to the usual junk load. But I occasionally like to daydream that, if we could get enough people in the USA to do this, the junk mail industry itself might become financially untenable.
"Free" here does not mean "free of charge", it means "libre" (guarantees the four essential freedoms [1]). The common quip is "free as in freedom, not as in free beer".

I recently learned that everything we know about Alexander the Great comes from ~5 accounts written by people who lived hundreds of years after Alexander died: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historiography_of_Alexander_th...
Even following a simple "who what when where why how" order of elaboration is extremely useful and clarifying.
The dude asked for simple. Trying to argue with a simplified version of someone else's argument instead of the actual argument is a favorite straw man.
Does that not get you a bunch of extra spam that's been blasted at made up addresses?
And when it does rain, the roads flood, and the trees all come down in the wind, because the 100' tall pine has a root ball that goes down two or three feet (as there's no need to go deeper for water, given the constant drizzle). When that top layer of soil is saturated and no longer structural, there's literally nothing holding the tree up anymore. Plus literally everything grows moss.
> state of Florida did not publish this information.

Correct. DeSantis is using the journalistic practice of branding something as some flavor of offensive, without citing any examples. This is the first time I see journalists complain about it and demand specifics.
Total volume of rain is fairly meaningless here. The rain in Seattle comes less as "rain", and more as a mist that never ends for 3/4ths of the year.

It's like standing under the vegetable misters at the grocery store if they turned out the lights.
That's pretty impressive. I wish I knew if Einstein was actually an alien.

Also I forget that a lot of engineer types take a very rigid approach to language.
I guess, differential equations should not be used in the formulation of "institutional dynamics."
This looks more like a bug in Windows help system than 7zip. At least it's easy to avoid, although dragging and dropping files in 7zip is an expected operation, I don't think people are opening their "help" often.

I wonder how many programs have this bug? How many programs have Windows help and involve dragging and dropping files?
It's definitely not objectively terrible.
I think that's just a variant of the slippery slope fallacy. There's nothing related to religion here, and they have not mentioned anything about evolution.
Did you had fun knocking this strawman?

Nobody said or implied that you need to eschew libraries and write everything from scratch to achieve performance, and it is frankly a very dishonest way of conducting this conversation.

Especially considering that we’re talking about someone (Casey) whose previous job was pretty much selling high-performance libraries (RAD Tools).

The claim from the (to be cheeky) “anti-performance” crowd is that it is impossible or unnecessary to extract more performance from modern computers. All that we’re saying is that things are not so black and white.

“The conclusion”, if you need one, is that people saying that more performance is impossible or impractical as a knee-jerk response are often wrong.
"Banning" = "Not buying" now?

The books can still be bought and sold, they just wont be with public dollars.

Is Harry Potter "banned" now by most of Twitter too?
More likely it's just luck. I get a couple spam calls a day. My wife gets them almost never. We're both American.
I lived through those days, and you're looking back with rose colored glasses. Most servers didn't have an admin online most of the time, so hacking was still a major annoyance if you didn't have something like VAC.

I do miss the quirky nature of private servers, custom maps and game mods, and all of that, but cheating was a big problem back then too.
I actually find it easy to read since the format requires users to break things up in to what feels like shorter, bite-sized pieces.
I try to spend my time outside of work not staring at a screen, running, cycling, walking, swimming, cooking. I cannot imagine spending time and money perfecting a three television setup? Is there no regret for time wasted? A life wasted?
I'd like to note that you've disregarded my main point, that reputation serves as a fine solution to problems of trust.

> Government is not 'in your way' - it's 'your government'.

Government is in my was as soon as it prevents me from peacefully doing something/transacting with someone. If I want to take a loan and would only qualify at a rate deemed "predatory", it may still be in my interest to do so. If I want to pursue experimental, unregulated treatment for an ailment, it may still be in my interest to do so.

Aside from that, if I want to sell my kidneys, take heroin, or eat rat poison, who else has the right to tell me that I can't? Who can claim more ownership over my own person than I?

> Do you have a medical research team that can research every drug you take to the full extent?

> Do you have an auto safety team that can research and test drive every car you buy?

I don't need to, all I need is to trust a reputable provider of these goods/services. Auto safety ratings for instance are perfectly provided by the IIHS, a reputable, independent nonprofit. We don't need government to solve trust problems.

> there is now way of determining what quackery is

I couldn't disagree more. Academic and medical reputation is can can continue to be the driving force for integrity in healthcare and medical science, much as it is in non-medical science.

> "Can you prove to me that Biden and Xi are not the same person?!? How do you know for sure!?"

Well today I can be reasonably certain, but how long do you think that certainty will last? 100 years? 1000? 10,000? At some point it will be akin to asking "How do we know Jesus was a real person?", which is rather a valid question don't you think?
My argument is that few people are aware of how barbaric many aspects of Aboriginal culture were. This was not some flawless society to be fawned over and emulated, as modern woke scholars might have you believe, this was a culture rife with violence, rape, torture and cannibalism.

Only last week I read a primary account from a settler describing an Aboriginal practice where a stick would be tipped with a various makeshift hooks, attached with sap and string. A young girl from the tribe would be selected and restrained, and the stick used to penetrate her and render injuries to the point of sterilisation. She would then be used by the tribe's men at will, notably in ceremonies where she would be gang-raped, with the subsequent blood and semen collected to be consumed by the frail and weak to boost their vitality.

And so I put the question to you: If you had the means and will to rescue a child from this fate, by taking her away to be homed and schooled in a facility for this purpose, would you still - in all your cultured wisdom - instead choose to sit idly by and "let nature take its course"?
I guess this is what happens when you're a couple that likes having TV on in the background all the time, but also want to do other things on the TV while still having one on in the background.

This looks insane, but I bet a lot of people do the same thing, just with their own games or shows on tablets, laptops, phones, Switches, or gameboys, and the biggest screen just doing the background-noise-TV thing. In that case, three TVs is just formalizing that situation.
all carriers allow you to forward the message to the number 7726.

Wait ... you mean there is something ordinary customers can actually do?

This is the first time I have ever heard of this feature. How come the telcos aren't publicizing this?
Sure it did.

You have USB 3 Low speed and Full Speed (aka usb 1), USB 3 High Speed (aka usb 2), and USB 3 SuperSpeed.

Expecting the USB consortium to give things useful names or at least let them keep their names we got used to is the same madness as expecting a singular useful version number from anything Sun derived.

Anyway, according the article everything links at USB 3.1 Gen 2 SuperSpeed+, but then usually doesn't send data at anywhere near the link rate, so that's not an extra layer of confusing.

I, German, once saw a mail-crime being done as the co-owner of a UPS associated package handling business. Some scammer had sent mail to people and they were sending back - to a post box we managed (we had not know what it would be for when it was ordered) - actual money. We called the police - and they said it wasn't their responsibility. Everything was done voluntarily after all. I called a well-known organization - they do just shrugged and told us to just go ahead, nobody would and could do anything. Pretty much that if people were so stupid to fall for it and sent money vial mail to unknown people, quite voluntarily even if scammed, they could not do anything. The scammers used a Delaware company and a Canadian address and they were sending their scam mail (actual mail) to Germans. Probably bought some address list somewhere. No chance to find them, but even preventing the ongoing scam was nobody's priority.

Also, I once returned a wallet thick with various cards, all paper money already stolen but things like drivers license and other important documents still inside. I brought it to the police. I waited for almost an hour in line, and then it took more than another hour of the officer documenting every single item in the thick wallet. He had to, he could not just write "wallet", it had to be every single item.

I highly doubt the police will do anything. Scams don't seem to be anything the police will go after, maybe some very high level stuff when it's about millions. They are also very busy writing reports and doing other important paperwork... /s Googling I just found that there are 760 cases of bike theft per day in Germany. Less than a tenth of them are found. -- https://blog.alh.de/taeglich-werden-ueber-760-fahrraeder-ges... -- There is just too much "small stuff" for police. If anyone gets murdered I just have to wait a day or two for the newspapers to announce the murderer has been found. On the other hand, for small crimes I expect not much is going to happen apart from filing the report (which I'm sure alone takes up plenty of time).
i mean yes, it's suboptimal. but hardly news that for the real deal, you gotta leave the main road.
I've only used it once or twice, but Fastmail has something like this as part of their lowest paid tier.
Controversial opinion: if your tv show or film isn't good enough to give it 100% of your attention, then don't watch it and give 100% of your attention to the competing multitask and do the other task better/faster.

Most tv and movies are simply not that good, and you can just ignore them.
Show HN: NLP algorithms for real-world sentiment analysis
Understanding customer feelings is very important for growing your business.

Sentiment analysis helps to get insights and enhance the customer experience.

There are NLP algorithms that helps you to classify people's emotions.

1/ Naïve Bayes

This technique is based on Bayes Theorem, a conditional probability model.

Basically, a Naïve Bayes classifier assumes the features are independent.

2/ SVM

It classifies text by finding a line or plane that separates data points into different groups.

These points are called support vectors.

This algorithm is good at dealing with noisy data.

3/ Deep learning

It is used very successful in classifying text.

Common algorithms are Recurrent neural networks (RNNs), Word2Vec, GloVe, and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN).

4/ Transformers

This architecture is a breakthrough in NLP.

Helps computers understand text and its context.

Very good at doing natural language processing than other kinds of neural networks.

Start using them for text classification with @huggingface pre-trained models.

Do you have real-world experience using those algorithms for sentiment analysis?
Please, share your thoughts or provide a feedback?

> A fixed product identity for something that materially changes

For the most part, these changes are not "material" in the sense of having a significant impact on the overall performance of the product or its suitability for the intended use cases.

It's mostly the tech enthusiast audience that cares about these changes. That audience is highly susceptible to fixating on "objective" criteria or benchmarks that aren't actually relevant to any of their real-world usage. If you exclude the differences that only show up in synthetic benchmarks specifically crafted to reveal subtle differences in SSD performance, the scope of this issue and the potential instances of fraud are vastly smaller.

And shows that Samsung, despite hearing about this defect from every po’d owner, doesn’t care to change its manufacturing process to resolve the issue. Nope, they just keep on producing defective fridges.
Somewhat unrelated but every new consumer company i see that advertises to me is trying to sell me an expensive version of something that exists

Just to name a few,

$36 pair of underwear (tommy John)

$18 socks (Bombas)

$1000 eco mattress (avocado)

$1 chocolate truffle (no chewing allowed)

Not to mentioned the various X as a subscription service. It's depressing that this is considered innovation
I agree. Waiting for the robot to interrogate the auto-recorded spam call is significantly more annoying than just picking up the phone, hearing a sales pitch in Spanish or the "your car warranty is about to expire" man, and immediately hanging up.

Surely the kindergartener attitude is the attitude that a group of people should be denied self-determination and forced to be part of a larger political body against their will. It's the same kind of childish reasoning China uses to justify oppressing Xinjiang and Tibet, and that Russia's using for annexing parts of Ukraine.
cause they've burnt our attention spans
It's perfectly possible to back out the expenses that go into future improvements and ask if a company is selling a product at a loss.

I haven't looked at the data lately, but not that long ago except in a few of the most established markets uber was paying drivers more than they were charging customers. This should be a violation of dumping laws-- but the laws are not enforced against large and highly aggressive entities.
Trying to suppress anguish to the point of not being able to function doesn't seem healthy.

Personally, I'd suggest looking at the lengthy history of doomsday climate predictions that were completely wrong to take some comfort about the future. Depending on how old you are, you'd have seen predictions in the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc that by now all of the following would have happened: Earth is entering a new ice age, Earth will become unlivable due to global warming, acid rain will be rendering entire continents uninhabitable, major coastal cities will be driven underwater, climate driven superstorms making the world uninhabitable, and other nonsense predictions that have long since passed. Ask what makes things different about current predictions.

Meanwhile, all of the Hollywood celebrities and busy-body politicians who are trying to scare you and begging you to sacrifice and do dumb stuff like drink soda through paper straws are buying ocean-front property and traveling around in private jets.

Arguably far bigger and far more demonstrably real environmental issues like the health of the oceans are being ignored, in comparison.

Actually they have if you look at some of the groups that support some of this stuff and the language they use. Very reminiscent of the language used in their attempts to ban evolutionary teaching and related subjects. A lot of the same groups against CRT are also against LGBTQ rights on the basis of religious beliefs.
I actually would like to see this type of balkanization happen while still keeping everything inside the EU, incl open borders. This was actually the idea of the early Pan-Europa people... As it is right now, the population heavyweights in the EU have way too much say compared to the smaller states.
I'm not sure whether this a joke or not?
I understand that the thief won't have access to my accounts, but now I don't either - correct?
Absolutely this. Dragging CRT into a math curriculum is a bad idea. The state legislature passing laws to ban the practice is even worse.

I know you're being facetious about interns, but issues today go so far beyond this. There's an actual war on in Europe, inflation is the highest it's been since the 70's and the pandemic is still wreaking havoc on global supply chains. There are very real crises to deal with, but there's political hay to be made from culture war divisions.

"Banning books without any detail is the story."

But is it? The headline seems focused on the hot-button issue rather than the process. And it provides no context about the scope of the problem (is Florida's process an outlier here?), or other examples.
He's not saying don't use UE5. He's saying what's the point of Unity now that UE5 exists.
It is about technology alignment, and the nature of people.

Right now, our tech is not capable of understanding meaning a mere child does easily. This makes it very poorly aligned with the problem domain in that applying it will create at least as many and probably more problems than it will solve.

Other problem domains have seen better tech alignment and have also seen greater success, though one could argue we also poorly understand the new problems created in some cases. (Global warming makes burning fuels a much worse deal than initially believed)

The side effects inherent with such blunt instruments as appear to be required to apply tech to social, human problems warrant consideration well beyond, "just because we can."

In the future, when our tech is much better, perhaps it can address human, social problems with far fewer costs to those subjected to the solutions.

Just how much control over your life and expression do you feel is necessary?

I don't disagree with you! However, proposing that the government (for instance) should be able to forcibly socialize a platform "for the greater good" opens up some very risky avenues.
I agree with your conclusion but not really your reasoning. There are countless things the government can’t do, which individual people can do. I can respect an establishment of religion. I can spend money without a transparent and disinterested tender process. Etc etc. You seem to be taking a very literalistic, almost theological reading of “the government is the people” - yes, the people choose and appoint a government to represent them, but hopefully you understand that the government isn’t metaphysically the same thing as the people.

Saying “the government is the people” is much like saying “the shareholders are the managers of the company”: yes, that’s true in an oblique, ideal sense, but you’re going to run into trouble if you start trying to literally substitute the one for the other in random sentences.

Interesting, but why? Just because it's "hate the Russians" month? What was the reason for hiding these items in the first place? Was there a previous agreement with Russia to keep secrets for them? To what extent is Google hiding the secrets of other oppressive regimes, such as China?
Where did the guy even bark? He publicly praised Unreal Engine 5.

Also, why does he have to be working on an engine? He has worked on some others and is one of the few with enough credentials to criticize. In this case he’s not even criticizing, just asking questions which are not really trivial to answer.

> Why the help viewer does anything as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM is beyond me.

I don't think it does. The report states that they achieved execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM using psexec from "SysInternals"; arguably, running something as SYSTEM is psexec's entire purpose, but it does require the installation of a service that runs as SYSTEM and brokers execution.

It's amazing to see the boundary layer between wind being uneconomical and wind becoming economical. All of a sudden, on a flight from Austin to LA, you can see millions of acres of wind farms. You can't drive on a Texas road without seeing a wide load carrying a turbine blade. I love it!
You would then get USB Type 61513 port and USB Type 48757 device, which could only communicate at Type 45151.
I have my custom server for that. Yes it happens, the occasional mail on root@ etc but that's negligible compared to normal level of spam.
That rings true for me as well. I think it's -because- there are areas that have had so much experience and focus and come so easily, that everything else feels hard by comparison. While I can identify with feeling too tired, I don't know if that's really different than when I was younger, it's just when I was younger I had nothing easier to fall back on to feel valuable.
