What happens when a citizen states an opinion that the government deems misinformation or disinformation? When a law enforcement agency has the power to "fight" your opinion, the democratic process will inevitably be destroyed. The whole purpose of free speech is the freedom to think out loud, point out errors, and let others do the same to you.

If the government can decide your free speech is illicit because it doesn't conform to the government's stated position there is no free speech.

The proof that this power will expand is found in the history of the DHS itself. It was formed after 9/11 to make sure knives and explosives didn't get on planes. Now, it governs public discourse. This is unbelievable scope creep. So to say its governance of public discourse is limited to only a few topics of conversation is unencouraging.
>Because it's not a search - you're consenting to it as part of something you are doing that is not a right (getting a mortgage, getting a home). The moment the scenario shifts from "this is done to you" to "this is a prerequisite to a thing you are doing" then you have basically no rights.

It is something done to you. It doesn't matter whether you and the lender consent to it happening or not, the law _requires_ it. It's a search of your 'papers' at behest of government. Just because the end goal is elective doesn't mean 4th amendment is bypassed. For instance, buying a bottle of water isn't a 'right' but electing to do so doesn't allow the government to inspect your bank account, even by proxy (by requiring the seller).
So I think we're on the same page? Be nice, don't mock people.[1]

Let's waaay overanalyze this: Courage makes you taller does not mock anyone. It does however acknowledge heightism. It's not mean to say, therefore it's fair game and not "fucked up" the way that the joke about the garden gnome in the OP is. We can make jokes about guys with huge pornstar cocks without that being an insult to those who are less-endowed.

[1] Overanalyzing further: Size-of-hands is fair game, because 1) Trump's hands aren't actually particularly small, and 2) because Trump seems to be sensitive to the subject, it's a comment on his thin-skinned personality not his physical self. Also 3) Trump is a public figure and isn't entitled to the same level of politeness that a private person can expect.
A lot will depend on her aptitude and inclination. It sounds like you’re thinking that software is a likely direction. If she’s looking at college, a computer science degree will give her a lot of options. There are also two year and technical schools with similar curricula.

If she goes that route, there are many different types of work. Writing software is the obvious one, but there’s technical project management, engineering management, etc. Again, depends on where her interest lies.

One great thing about being a woman in tech is that it offers great job security and growth potential. For whatever reason there is a real dearth of women in the field, so if she’s good, she’ll be highly sought after.
The constitution is the supreme law, it applies even to commercial property regulations.

>Both amendments are restrictions on government, not private entities.

Yes and who imposes the KYC requirement -- government or the private entity? Even when the private entities don't consent, the GOVERNMENT imposes the KYC search therefore 4th amendment applies. Private lender entity is acting as agent of the state who under force of law has been FORCED to follow KYC requirements.
If your goal is to settle down—as seems to be a commonly expressed desire in this thread—you might find that conservative women are more like minded, for obvious reasons.
Yes, but there is a difference between "he is an asshole, which means that he blows everything out of proportion, and I don't believe him with this story" and "there are plenty of situations that actually happened where he seems to always blow the situation out of proportion and exaggerate to unjustifiably paint people in terrible light, and therefore I believe he is an asshole".

The former would be an ad hominem reasoning, but the latter one wouldn't be. And the parent comment you replied to was the latter.
Damn you are one hardy soul.
If you're a programmer, do you like working with a nice computer or a bad one?

I usually actually like working with a somewhat mediocre one, I prefer my computer to have the power and specs of most of the people who will be using what I make, if it works good on mine maybe works good on theirs.

This also lets me treat computers as commodities, essentially disposable. I do not lavish a lot of care on them. Use them, keep them backed up, break them, throw them away.

But then I got this new M1, and I think it is so much better than all the other ones I normally use, including older Macs which I do not consider to have been better than any of the other computers I had. It's so good I want to go buy another one in case my wife is using it and I have to make do with another not as nice computer. To use the lesser computers is irritating to me. I feel less productive without it.

Does the feeling the tool gives you become more important than the task they are intended to perform? If that feeling is you do the task better with the tool than maybe yes.
Required to integrate, no. Should they be polite members of civil society? Yes.

My issue isn't what they do in their congregations and communities, but how they interact with the rest of the world. I've personally been treated extremely poorly by strangers in the Orthodox community just going about my day in the city. Between that and other experiences, I'm just shocked at how prevalent racism is among the Jewish Orthodox community in particular.
What burden? Treating everyone with respect and giving everyone a fair chance isn't a burden.
Quick research shows this bill would apply the same regulations on radio and TV broadcasts to every random streamer and YouTuber? Does sound bad.

Yeah I had this problem my entire life until about age 30 when I got prescribed Adderall and, blam, my problem was fixed almost instantly.

So... whoops, I guess my teachers when I was young were right about the possible ADHD, and it wasn't really a case of "they're just trying to pill up all the kids!!!111!".

It looks like it's all 20 black women from 2014 as well. I'm not sure what to assume about the intention or circumstances behind the account owner choosing those samples, but it certainly doesn't accurately reflect majority opinion in 2022.
That's not true though. It's women who believe in patriarchal gender roles that are more likely to date short men, because they focus on a man's suitability as a potential provider rather than his looks.
As you noted, it's column-oriented, so designed for OLAP workloads rather than OLTP workloads. Think data warehousing, BI, Big Data analytics, feature engineering ...
You are confused. You can decline to have your papers searched by declining to participate in the activity. Therefore, no matter how unfair, it is not forcible. If the government passed a law forbidding the sale of water to people who did not consent to a search, that would also be lawful. The Constitution does not forbid bad laws.
If you are stopped by the cops and they ask if they can search your car and you say “yes” then the search is valid. You are allowed to say “no”. They can force the search under certain circumstances.

If you try and get a mortgage loan and the bank asks for details you provide them then the “search” is valid. You are allowed to say “no”. They can’t force the search of you just walk away from the mortgage process.
Failure modes often tell you more about a technology or phenomenon than successes do.

The marketing and promotion will, of course, focus on successes. Failures suggest boundaries, limits, and weaknesses.

There's a similar case for humans. Studies of optical and auditory illusions, cognitive biases, and various forms of pathological behaviours, both individual and group, would be examples of this.

Or any equipment or system. The flight envelope of an aircraft is literally the boundary beyond which its behaviour is unpredictable and/or uncontrollable. For software, limits define the extent to which applications or AI algorithms produce useful results.

How much those limits can be pushed is itself an interesting question. The observations of failures of negation (a map of the world without Europe, a bowl of fruit without apples, a man not running) suggest that DALL-E has something of a "now don't think of an elephant" problem. It's also a problem that's been observed in search contexts --- I am recalling a case where Google and/or Amazon repeatedly failed when requested to find shirts without stripes, consistently presenting striped shirts.

Perhaps semantic negation is hard?

Ok, so not necessarily the case there but maybe in some cases where those darn insecure men are lying about their height.

Even if someone asks me my height I probably just say 6'4' and leave it at that.

I'm 6'2" (happily married). Yes, I've been confused at other 6'1" and 6'2" guys out there - there IS definitely a fair bit of fibbing going on I think.

That said it doesn't come up that often in my circle.
Sure, but you should always check basic mg/kg numbers before you take a drug. Diphenhydramine can be hallucinogenic in high doses.

They also sell 1-gram extra-strength Tylenol pills OTC, but that's a very high dose for an average person. And what do you know, acetaminophen is the leading cause of acute liver failure in the US.
Popular NFT mint spikes ETH gas prices; OpenSea transaction fees exceed $3,500
I tried to get a $500k mortgage a year ago. I had recently formed a new bootstrapped startup and wasn't taking a salary for myself, so I had no income. However I had 800+ credit score and a few million in liquid assets (not even crypto, just boring index funds) and could not get a mortgage whatsoever despite trying through multiple lenders. One even asked if anyone would be willing to cosign and suggested my parents. Ended up just paying cash.
>I can't wait for it to be supplanted.

You could have saved a lot of typing by leaving it at this and saying what you meant. No reason to be coy any more. The quiet part is being said out loud now.
Someone should make a service to do this. I'll give the service may payment info, and then I want to have to click one button each month to turn on each service. If I haven't watched Netflix for awhile, it automatically turns off when the month expires. If I decide to watch Netflix, but it's already turned off, I click one button and it's back.

You can already do this, you just have to do it yourself with a bunch of clicks.
> That's CSV/TSV's real shortcoming: about the only generic validation they allow is to make sure the column count is the same for all rows.

Once upon a time, when I was doing a lot of data interchange between a wide variety of systems (OS'es, applications, etc.) I considered proposing an "enhanced CSV" (ECSV) where the values did not start on the second row in the file, but instead the second row would be regular expressions that could be used to validate the contents of the columns that followed, and data would start on row 3.

In other words, you might have:

```
ID,NAME,DATE

"/^\d+$/","//","/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/"

867,Alice,1984-01-09

5309,Bob,1981-11-16

```

(Newlines added because HN doesn't speak Markdown, sigh.)

In the end, I think the solution was far simpler: we just exchanged a separate descriptor file that had column names and their corresponding regexp patterns for validation as a separate (versioned) file, in order to save a few bytes inside each file transmission, which was a real savings when you paid per-byte over an EDI network.
They're essentially under water and a pregnant mothers noisy internal processes, other than her breathing and her heart beat, are not really following any sort of pattern. And we can't discount the environment that the pregnant mother finds herself in, either, since that noise will also be present to varying degrees.

edit/ Having said that, the "white noise" machines that I've seen, which are available as sleep aides specifically for young children, are not really white noise. There is white noise there but there is also something that sounds like a tumbling drying machine, or a fan, or a hair dryer... Something that a brain could attach itself to as a pattern.
Good luck explaining to the bank why you want to borrow 2x what the home is actually worth. When you need a mortgage you’re limited by what the bank’s appraiser thinks the home should sell for.
gofmt is a huge positive for me as well. Not having to think about formatting frees up more cognitive load than you would think
I don’t see SQL, Python, R etc, data science, and data engineering in general going anywhere in a hurry. Businesses are generating more and more data each day.

When I was at University the database courses (and the lecturers themselves) were very abstract and so excruciating boring that I leaned almost nothing. Courses in languages like C and machine code were much more fun.

But, decades later I find myself doing SQL every day, and despite having a compsci degree I’m effectively self-taught in all the languages I actually use.
Thanks a lot for sharing the experience, especially here in a public forum. Not an easy thing to do. I only have pure respect for you, and am grateful for you sharing the experience.

Try steelmanning some of the ACLU positions you disagree with and see if your position softens or changes.
I think some limitations are interesting in terms of tempering expectations and understanding how DALL-E "thinks" or works in order to best utilize its strengths.

Of course, I would always expect limitations based on having to "understand" anything beyond word-image associations, like floor plans or solvable mazes, which have meaning well beyond the visual. Those limitations are indeed uninteresting. Might as well try "An image proving the Collatz Conjecture"
I believe most of the caution comes from the fact that the government is the largest buyer of the loan. The bank or your originator is not keeping the loan on it's balance sheet, and they will not be able to sell it unless it conforms to standard requirements.
This is an unhelpful article because it straw-mans every argument, and mischaracterizes the primary material.

> More recently, Bostrom has said that "unrestricted altruism is not so common that we can afford to fritter it away on a plethora of feel-good projects of suboptimal efficacy," such as helping the poor, solving world hunger, promoting LGBTQ rights and women's equality, fighting racism, eliminating factory farming and so on.

If you actually link to the article, the quoted sentence does exist, but the following implications very clearly are absent. There is no such suggestion that "fighting racism" is a "project of suboptimal efficacy". This is very clearly a disingenuous argument.

As are many of the other of the article's points. There's plenty of room for honest and productive critique - this is not that.
I know many people shorter than you and are quite popular with girls. Look outside your own countries , for example , someone average could become very popular in some Asian counties if you are white. ( not that I agree with it but it is the reality) .

> Operation Fantasia was the brainchild of OSS psychological warfare strategist Ed Salinger...

The plan is so ludicrous and insane that without any attribution I would've guessed an unhinged lunatic or a child came up with it.

> Lovell had established his reputation in the OSS by pursuing eccentric ideas himself, such as trying to make Adolf Hitler’s mustache fall out by slipping female sex hormones into his vegetables—Lovell’s nickname was “Professor Moriarty”—but Operation Fantasia went beyond his tolerance for absurdity.

The guy who wanted to make hitler's mustache fall out with vegetables laced with female sex hormones was the sanest one of the bunch. The voice of reason.

Isn't OSS the predecessor to the CIA?

This is an important thing to note how rote the loans are. If you deviate from what “the system” asks of you, trouble ahead.

The best recommendation here is to get chummy with a credit union leader, then you can find ways to break outside of this issue.
Puzzling that so many had issues with this story. I am not a native English speaker but found no problems reading it and getting the point.

Saxon Kings had diets with very little meat, similar to peasants of the era. How do they know this? By studying bones in graves.

Why was this surprising? Because writings of the era described large meat heavy feasts. But conclusion that a they must have been just that. Rare feasts.

Mostly vegetarian in this case simply means they mostly ate vegetables, bread etc. But yes they also had small quantities of meat. Nothing like the large quantities us modern humans eat.
It's entirely possible that anti-short stigma in Anglo-American culture is actually born out of this propaganda, and not the other way around. The campaign was so effective that you used to hear people say ambitious shorter men had a "Napoleon Complex" -- and there's no way they would have thought that if propaganda hadn't first cemented the idea that Napoleon was short.
Doesn't this only make sense though if patriarchy is a priori defined by gender roles? It falls apart if any non-patriarchal system develops or prefers any gender roles. On what basis is it claimed that only a patriarchy has gender roles?

May be more of a market analysis in terms of size than anything.

HyperScaler are the three you mentioned.

Then you have Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu. ( All Chinese )

Oracle and IBM Cloud

OVH, Hetzner,

Linode, Digital Ocean, UpCloud, Vultr, Scaleway. Possibly Fly.io ( not sure )

They all own their at least part of the Datacenter, Network and their own hardware. You have other services like Render and Heroku.

I am not aware of any potential upcoming players in this space ( Tell me about it ). But I think Cloudflare will likely be the big disruption in the next 5 years. They will own most of what we call "Cloud" services and Network and leave only the capital intensive compute to others.

Then you have many players that are the size of Linode or DO but dont operate as "Cloud".

I am still sad that Heroku didn't improve or move up / down the ladder. They seems to have happy at where they are.
The thing is the M1 does actually compile code faster than a 2015 Macbook Pro. I use both, for things like word processing I find they both work equally well.

Notebooks are much less varied in the types of work you do with them. It's mostly pen or pencil to paper kind of work.
Nobody is talking about Canada geese. Cats eviscerate songbirds and other small birds.

My son and I are actually gathering data of bird populations in our immediate area. We live in an urban area where half the block consists of 2-3 family apartments. Our yard is a bird highway due to where our home is placed and the trees. The tenants tend to migrate in cohorts. We noticed anecdotally that the bird population grew a year after a few key neighbors, who kept outdoor cats and were cat people who fed strays, moved away.

It’s a difficult issue as like many things, extreme behavior drives extreme outcomes. I’d like to understand the impact of house cats vs mentally ill people who attract feral cats. (Or similar folks who attract disruptive populations of birds like pigeons)
Nice, would you mind sharing more info on the benefits of jailbraking it? Apart from gaining root access, is there an ecosystem to still view my saved books, pdfs, maybe even other programs / text formats ?

> There are many theories in theoretical physics where it is very difficult or impossible to come up with experiments to prove or disprove them, e.g. Everett’s Many-Worlds Interpretation or the String Theory. One might call these sorts of theories metaphysical, fine, but it doesn’t make them into disproven pseudoscience or religions.

Like i'm really not sure how you can argue that religion and metaphysics are distinct. The main difference is just how much cultural baggage is attached.

Ultimately after reading that article (and having not watched the video it is responding to) my conclusion is not that Sabine misunderstands the simulation theory (she may or may not, but nothing there convinced me she did) but that the author of the article misunderstands what the word "science" means. Like the term "pseudoscience" may be unfair, as that has specific connotations, but its clearly a metaphysical theory not a scientific theory.
That's a bridge too fucking far.

Using the money to pay others to start more local schools, maybe a free coding bootcamp (with entrance tests), maybe maybe could be a high impact thing to do?

No idea about dead hangs specifically, but good posture (which requires strengthening the right muscles) probably adds a fair bit of height over bad posture, and bone can stretch slightly in response to exercise.

That said, the benefits of good health, better confidence, etc. from strength training probably far outweigh any benefits from increased height.
Yeah, I've learned this the hard way. Very true
