My university used to use Blackboard, which had SafeAssign (if I recall correctly). It was proprietary to Blackboard and the only option (at that time) was for students to choose if papers were included in the permanent reference database. Because I was given the choice, I selected that because I thought it was both considerate toward me and valuable to my scholarly work.

Then my university moved to Canvas and TurnItIn. At first there was no license agreement check box, and all the courses were force-enabled to allow TurnItIn to store student submissions forever.

I raised a lot of bell over that and the next term there was that same checkbox that I assume you also see.

It always felt very coercive. I hated checking that box. I fought tooth and nail. I had conference calls with the Academic Technologies leadership. They absolutely didn’t understand the objection. They compared it to Office 365 and didn’t understand the point that neither the university nor Microsoft was requiring that I give them a perpetual, virtually limitless license to my content in order to use the service.

I pointed to the university policies which explicitly and very clearly categorized non-compensated student output as the property of the student, who was to regain all rights. I pointed out the conflict of interest that iParadigms brings to the table.

All I ever got in response was the talking points I found on the TurnItIn marketing material. I’d have been OK if they disagreed after an actual discussion, but they weren’t interested.
No need to try as it already exists: Any Linux tablet with Reaper and a couple soft synths and a decent external sound card if needed would do a lot more for a lot less. A good portion of the cost of this device could be justified only if it really had motorized knobs and faders, which are shown in the video but not mentioned among the features; that would be a completely unnecessary gimmick (in such a device) which however would impact a lot on the cost.

Portable music devices aren't that expensive these days. Take a look at what SunVox can do on old hardware, or maybe the Polyend Tracker, which is a hardware solution that costs less than half of the tx-6 and doesn't kill the eyes on a toy display.

On that note, central business districts & skyscrapers aren't actually that great environmentally, although the city model as a whole is much better environmentally than their suburban counterparts.

And it's certainly possible to build a dense, urban city housing even millions of people without a massive central business district. I think, more than anything, the central business district is an artifact of how we organize ourselves economically (IE the economy is dominated by relatively few massive corporations). This is harder to change but certainly not impossible.
Today I learned. This makes a lot more sense to me now knowing it isn't an emotional categorization.

A lot of assumptions there that things will continue to get cheaper, cost in manufacturing will drop, battery range will continue to improve, charging stations continue to proliferate, the grid respond to the burden, and no missteps in captialization and expansion cause it all to collapse.
That list of 78 (not 100) making over 400k are administrator/doctors who work for the VA (except Fauci). The VA does have it's own pay scale for medical professionals - it's a legal limit not a constitutional one and the VA has it's own rules.

> The judge said Apple had "obliged the consumer to purchase a second product of its exclusive manufacture,"

This take is baffling to me. While I don't necessarily agree with Apple's decision to take the charger out and change to USB-C at the same time, this is an awful take. First of all there's a million and 1 USB-C chargers from many different manufactures. Second, USB-A to C adapters exist. Third, there are 3rd party manufacturers of USB-A to Lightning cables.

I'm confused how anyone could believe Apple is the exclusive manufacturer of anything required for an IPhone but the phone.
>If the programs developer sells out and puts malware into their official binary releases, and the package maintainer doesn't notice this, then checking hashes doesn't protect you from the malicious release.

Nothing short of a full code review will save you from a malicious supply chain attack. This is currently exploding with NPM as well, so building from source doesn't save you here either. See the node-ipc debacle from a few weeks ago [0], and also my own post from last week about a malware infected NPM module [1].

The reality is that yes, the days of being able to trust anything downloaded from a stranger on the internet are pretty much over now. But known-hash package management is still a good first layer of security versus downloading random binaries from the web.

Having it both ways is best serviced by cities that reduce sprawl. If you want to be where things are happening, it's right there. If you want nature, it's just outside of the city. Sprawl creates miles and miles of area that isn't nature and isn't the center of activity. It's a huge amount of infrastructure for a design pattern that has a lot of environmental downsides and doesn't help most people.

IIRC that's not how the poison pill is set up. I believe it allows eligible shareholders to purchase $420 worth of new shares at a 50% discount per share of common stock they own (?), or allows the board to effectively double the number of outstanding shares for everyone but the entity (entities?) triggering the poison pill. No existing shares change hands.

This means that the poison pill would not allow Elon to purchase large quantities of Twitter at a discounted price through the poison pill itself.

Edit: Missed a provision of the poison pill allowing for doubling of existing shares without shareholders needing to purchase anything. Also try to clarify that the $420 of new stock may be per existing share owned, if I'm reading these documents correctly.

Since the liver is the body's primary blood filtration system, pretty much anything that disturbs the normal bodily processes puts a strain on the liver. My mother had a near-zero tolerance for alcohol for almost a decade, while struggling with post-viral CFS in the 90s.

I wouldn't immediately worry about your alcohol tolerance following sickness, but do see a physician if it takes more than a few months (say, 4-6) to return to your previous "default" state.

I think Musk is seriously misled about the future of social media.

Twitter is where people go for posting stuff when sitting on a toilet. Even though it may seem like it is where all the newsmakers are at this point in history, imho it doesn't have much of a future.

Everyone else is better off posting Tiktok videos to communicate.

Tiktok (or something similar) is the future of social media where you can see not only what people are literally saying but also how they are saying it... tone of voice, facial expressions (if you wish to reveal it). Video conveys a lot more information in a short time than a block of text ever can... because a block of text has to be given emotional charge, even a hint of intent by the reader... which makes it open to interpretation in many many ways, most of which can be very misleading.

Younger generation is not going back to text based social media.
Kiddy porn and snuff films are illegal. Musk is a self-described "free speech absolutist" in his own words so it's fair to hold him to that description, and while I do agree it's misleading, Musk is often misleading when it comes to his businesses, so I think the criticism is well earned.

Rather than acting like everyone else is an idiot, perhaps explain your points rationally. You might even convince some fence-sitters or make folks who disagree with you less sure of their positions.

But the tone of your comment is very much "it's obvious, you dumbasses" which only entrenches those whose minds you'd presumably like to change.
I'm trying hard to come up with a response that's not just an insult and dismissal.

I have no idea what you're talking about or thinking about. A percentage of tax receipts? Why on earth would that make more sense than just money up front?
The thing that gets me here is the "exclusive manufacturer". I don't see how that can ever be the case. You aren't required to use Apple's brick or cable (though they have to be certified).

I give them credit for trying and failing quickly.

I personally don't see how it was ever going to work, but it's not my business and I don't know what I'm talking about. They clearly thought they had a chance, tried it, saw it flop, and are willing to quickly admit the mistake and stop the bleeding. You can't succeed if you're not willing to fail.

In general, the conflation of "chords" and "harmony" can be just little sticky, because one implies something the instrument is doing, and the other what the composer/band/piece does. An instrument might be making lots of chord changes, but that doesn't necessarily mean there is any overall harmonic motion happening.

Sure in rock'n'roll the guitar player isn't hitting the third a lot, but the singer almost certainly is!

Also, if you are playing modern jazz, you are not really doing functional harmony like this analysis assumes except at a very macro level. Chord changes there are about color more often, only punctuating with a true harmonic change. This can be true even if they are moving from, say, an I9 to IV9. That seems like a "change", but its really just elaborating on the I.

I seem to remember "open chords" in my brief counterpoint studies, but can't find anything to back that up now. But in counterpoint you could talk about the openness of certain "harmonies" in terms of their compatibility to any number of changes. Something with a lot of doubled roots and fifths are less open to changing, if you are following the "rules".

The great thing about libertarian arguments is that the liberty is a built-in safety valve. We can say all we want about how dense cities are better, but as long as we're saying "quit zoning for suburban development and let people decide for themselves how high of a floor they want to live on," and not, "drive humanity by threat of force into towering Warhammer-40k-esque hive cities," there's very little chance of accidentally walking into a nightmare. If we're accomplishing it with liberty, we retain the ability to walk out.

You see this in the design of the typical diatonic harmonica. That's why it's such a versatile instrument, despite its limitations (e.g. missing accidentals within its key, only able to play blow or draw notes within a given chord).
Taking brute to mean "unrefined", you can see that it fits into both those definitions and scenarios just fine.

An unrefined person is dull, stupid, or violent; an unrefined product is raw, crude, or lacking polish.

Instead what they delivered was the crap, low effort documentaries they put on to fill gaps in their airtime. Reruns of Anthony Bourdain, weak medical information from Sanjay Gupta, and more social justice than you can shake a stick at.

How on earth did they waste $300m on this? Anderson Cooper 360 with no ads is all they needed.

Very good points. It helps to list the requirements of a system before you actually build it! I did something very similar when I wrote about what I would like to see in an interactive theorem proving (ITP) system: https://doi.org/10.47757/practal.1

This worked out great so far in that I managed to come up with a logic which I believe is actually the BEST logic for mathematics, Abstraction Logic (AL): https://doi.org/10.47757/pal.2

Furthermore, I think the ideal ITP system and the ideal Computer Algebra System (CAS) are actually the same thing. Many will dispute that, but this is just because they cannot look further than the shortcomings of current incarnations of both concepts. I actually think that AL will help to unify those two concepts, as an AL term is a very simple thing, and much easier to manipulate than a typed term of some complicated type theory!

A lot of the points you list are really just saying that you want your CAS to be an ITP system:
a) Inert expressions
b) Based on math
c) Based on typed math
d) Type-integrated symbolics and enclosures
e) Good for Inequalities
g) Large but lean
h) Text-friendly (and human-friendly)

Your other points are points that people want for ITP systems, too:
i) Integers
j) Good math display
k) Well-named

As for types, I believe now that a static type system just does not cut it. I believe something like Practical Types (which led me to AL) is the right way to go, such that you have semantic types, which are basically like sets, without requiring that everything is a set: https://doi.org/10.47757/practical.types.1
I grew up outside of Boston in the 70s and 80s. Never saw a turkey, coyote, or bald eagle. I thought the latter were extinct east of the Mississippi.

The Charles River was still a polluted mess from years of neglect and old industrial use. There was a derelict watch factory in Waltham next to the river, former vehicle assembly works in Watertown and Cambridge, and all kinds of old industrial sites further upriver. There's one section of Waltham Mass still called "the bleachery" which was the site of a dye factory, which, of course, emptied right into the Charles up until the 1950s.

I live a few miles from my childhood home now. The factories are gone, and the riverside has mostly been cleaned up. I see all of these animals plus many more including foxes and waterfowl. At night we hear great horned owls and the yipping of a local coyote pack. There are news stories about bears making it to within route 128 (the innermost ring road) and even the outer reaches of Cape Cod, which requires crossing a major bridge. https://www.wbur.org/news/2012/05/31/cape-cod-bear-twitter
They should settle for licensing out their content to other streaming services.

I have no idea why they insisted on wasting so much money launching a service 5 years after everyone else.
Part of the problem with this is the horrible business practices and policies in place. In a way, it is urgent that you get back to your health insurance rep or your car insurance rep or whatever private business that's selling you a government mandated service. That phone rep knows that you only have 15 more days to finish your insurance claim, or you've gone past the deadline. Then when you call back, the rep can't do anything. Terrible business policy doesn't allow them to. Something like this happened to me.

I had an issue once with a claim. It was an ongoing ordeal with lots of small meetings and documentation. It was eventually denied. However, I had a rebuttal window. Unfortunately for me, it came during a stressful period of work. I made the initial call to my rep. No call back. I was buried under work, and the 5 day rebuttal window (how absurdly short) blew by without me realizing it. Turns out the rep was on vacation, and after my case was closed, there was no reason for them to return my call.

These issues are never a matter of urgency that should be dealt with in that instance. However, don't let your window of opportunity close due to an adversarial business policy.
