> (and this is probably surprising to most Americans) most European countries actually have more restrictive laws regarding abortion than those to which the majority of the U.S. population are subject

Not sure this is a fair assessment. It's true if you measure "restrictiveness" by number of weeks up until it's no longer allowed. In most European countries, 12 weeks is the limit for on-demand abortions (which aligns with the 11 week limit before which abortion pills can be safely and effectively used). [1] However, there are usually exceptions that allow abortions under certain circumstances after 12 weeks, and in many of these countries, abortion is covered under tax-funded healthcare and is offered free of charge.

Meanwhile, in the US, the only federal-level abortion ruling (Roe v. Wade) will soon be overturned. 13 states already have laws on the books that will completely ban abortions in all cases as soon as that happens. [2] And even while Roe was in effect, Texas still somehow managed to implement a ~6 week abortion ban (which is far more restrictive than almost every European country).

It bums me out to see this, because it seems to boil good science down to FACTS and ANSWERS. Were you really dying to know what bronze age daggers were used for for your next board meeting?

If it's just for curiosity, isn't the methodology and capability atleast as interesting and much more important?

Valuing how we know things, not just what we think we might know is actual science.
I've thought a lot about this.

My conclusion is that there is no difference between a number and an algorithm. Pi is not a "number" in a sense that integers and rationals are - it is not a finite string of symbols that represents a quantity for us. But it does represent some quantity, though in an indirect way - all irrational numbers can only be represented by an algorithm that approaches the infinitely-precise value.

So, integers and rationals only seem "like numbers" to us because we don't consider them "algorithms" - they seem intuitive to us. But looking from the perspective of Peano axioms, even integers are just algorithms for computing numbers - 3 is just s(s(s(1))), which is an algorithm that states that the successor function has to be applied 3 times to the number 1. So we can't really draw any kind of objective line between a number and an algorithm. Every number is an algorithm, it's just that some of them are trivial for us.

Same thing with circle - circle is just an algorithm for drawing a specific shape. All the properties of circles are just algorithms for approximating real-world properties of our drawings of circles.

So basically, pi (the algorithm) does in fact "contain" all sequences of digits when computed - but it does it in the same way that an infinite grassfield contains a grassleaf of any size - the size of the grassfield only makes it harder for us to find the grassleaf.
I like that they have the ability to achieve immortality using a variety of means, but barely anyone avails themselves of that. After hundreds of years of life they’re just done.
Yeah and by people like the person who wrote the article, which I find ironic, that the article complains about being "forced" to work efficiently robbing the work of it's social and human aspects, yet people in the comments here, and elsewhere, are complaining about literally the opposite thing: being forced to work inefficiently and suffer from these forced "human" aspects of socialisation with people they can't choose freely.

Gives me the feeling that the author really tries to misuse the workplace for lifestyle, meaning, socialising etc which they really are responsible for themselves in their free time.

People just want to get their work done and proceed with their own lives outside of work, I think maybe this individualism is actually what the article is complaining about.
The non-geofenced level 2 system that Mercedes also has, can of course do lane changes and is definitely on par with Tesla's autopilot. This is about their level 3 system, which is ahead of Tesla, both technically, and most importantly regulatory.
Yea because the problem is that companies want clear and ethical consent windows but fail to design them.

And not that they try to get away with the darkest possible patterns until the law is enforced enough and they reluctantly switch to a legal design?
The minus side is that I don’t wear one of those two
every single day because … I gotten bitten by the watch
bug, and now I have a pile of other watches, and I wear
those too!

This was a big part of the fun for me. Different watches for different days. It's ridiculous, even embarrassing to admit this but -- I feel like the richest, luckiest man in the world when I look at a drawer full of watches from which I can choose each day. As a child I would never have dreamed of it.

In reality they are all very modest watches, most under $100. The entire collection is not worth more than a nice laptop. But whatever.

As a bonus mechanical watches, unless I'm mistaken, will last longer if not running 24/7/365.
Radio, and print media worked for years, but the Internet absolutely eviscerated their funding models. It's a bit late to imagine closing the Pandora's box of personalized advertising without the mother of all temper tantrums and PR campaigns from the ad industry.

Disagree here (at least in spirit?) - code smell can also point to maintainability issues - if the codebase is continually changed some code is more likely to break than others.

All modern Intel/AMD CPUs and 64-bit ARM CPUs have hardware instructions for these 4 algorithms (polynomial multiplication for CRC32, dedicated instructions for the other 3).

Therefore these are very fast when using the hardware support, so they are a natural choice versus other algorithms that must be implemented in software, which may be slower even when they seem much simpler.
Mindlessly reading news or watching videos you would get dopamine, while making effort for studying, exercising and programming can give you endorphins

Endorphins can make you calm and feeling peaceful and truly satisifed, it is meant for long term while dopamine is for short term gratification

Left is old, right is the new design. Yes, it maybe looks "cleaner", but now it is virtually impossible to distinguish the different levels of headings.

From what I know of typography, you want the different levels to be much more different than that.
You decline "legitimate interest", too, in your browser presets, of course you do.

And if it goes via browser you can deliberately choose advertisers you trust, centrally in one place.

Of course I want this in the browser.
Did you have a "Reject All" button?
Here’s the kicker: if you need tracking ads to keep the lights on, that’s fine. But that’s a transaction I’m entering into when I visit the site, and I want to see the sticker price.

The fact that the law basically says you can’t cookie wall it (I.e accept or leave) just means that you either convince enough people that the price is acceptable, or you get off the internet. It’s not complicated.
Asshole companies flagrantly breaking a law with a low relative level of enforcement can also simply mean that you need to properly enforce that law.

Both the size, rate and amount of the fines needs to increase by orders of magnitude. The problem (and the internet in general) is simply much bigger than the current enforcement agencies can ever hope to keep up with.
It's loneliness in my case.

I have no one to talk to that's close to my age,

I do use it more when I'm depressed though.

Books never did it for myself. I would read, but my mind would wander to negative thoughts, and my problems.

That is fiction though. I have my 1000 plus book library of non-fiction books I thumb through every day. A book is usually right near my computer. I fall asleep with a non-fiction book.

I also have a portable radio with me when walking, or waiting. I just need someone yacking in the background. Without it my mind wanders.

When I was younger and had friends; I was never like this.

When I'm done with the internet, around this hour; I don't want to think about the time I wasted on my devises until the next day.

Would I rather be talking to people on a friday night--hell yes, if it's not get to know you speak.

I'm tight on money, but I could go to a bar tonight, and talk to strangers.

A beer is $8 bucks plus a dollar tip.

I need a car to get to the bar.

I need to white knuckle driving home because I have an old car, and cops love to pull over poor people. Cops know they are easy pickings. Plus--they think we all drink to excess like they do. If they can't nail you on a marginal DUI; they can find something wrong with your car. (If you are ever in Marin County after 10 pm, expect a pullover. 99% are for no reason other than profiling. Even you rich boys who look like Elon Musk sometimes get pulled over too.

It's just easier to pull out the ipad in the end. If you work the internet right, you can avoid the negativity. Here, or on FB, I never come back to a post I commented on.

I do use social sites, like this webpage, as a journal. I say what's on my mind, and it feels good some days. I never get into arguments because I never return to a discussion.
> If you honestly believe this, then you are dismissing nearly all experimental biology.

Even if I hate this idea, just for the sake of argument: What about animal models closer to humans?

Rodents are not primates:

* Phylogeny tells they are very far from primates:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glires

* In some rodent species, the tail is capable of regeneration.

* It can refresh them.

* Rodents have efficient digestive systems, absorbing nearly 80% of ingested energy.

* They can eat cellulose. They have specific bacteria in their guts that can reduce it to its carbohydrate elements.

* Some species are sensitive to ultraviolet light.

* Whisker action is mostly driven by the brain stem, which is itself provoked by the cortex
It actually does make sense to blame the UK for this. UK law (Digital Economy Act 2017) says that ISPs are legally required to offer content filtering to their customers, turned on by default, although customers are allowed to request to opt out of it. So, this ISP is legally required to impose content filters unless a customer specifically asks them not to do so.

Now, you can say the real issue here is not the filtering itself, but the decision to include this particular website in the list of sites to be blocked. But the reality is, filtering decisions are inherently subjective, mistakes are inevitable, so I really think if someone ought to be blamed, it is not the company legally forced to do the filtering, but rather the law which forces them to do it. Also, the company wants to spend as little money on the filtering as possible, since it is a pure cost centre – and if customers don't like it, they can opt out, and then either have unfiltered Internet, or filter it themselves – meaning there is no incentive for the company to do a good job of choosing which sites to include

I'm a parent (of a 9 year old and a 4 year old), and I think it is totally good parenting to seek to limit your children's access to online material they are too young to process. But I think the right answer is a free market of parent control solutions (both commercial and open source), with parents being able to choose the solution which works best for their family – not government-imposed network-level filtering, even if it is an opt-out. Parental control is best done at the endpoints, not in the network.
The article also has:

That does not sound cool.

You can. It is a straightforward MILP program.

The issue is, MILP in general is NP-complete to solve... so it doesn’t gain you anything. In practice solutions can be found quickly, or at least good approximations.
Don’t think so. These things are par for the course if your dev team is several hundred people and -above all- focused on keeping things running exactly as they were before. Communication and waiting becomes 90% of your job.
The danger is that the social media provides a moderate dopamine hit but at nearly no “risk” - whereas many other situations provide a higher hit but at a much larger risk: the kid may be cranky, your spouse might be having a bad day, etc.

We tune our activities for the minimization of risk. Perhaps adding a random chance to ban you for browsing would help add some risk back in.
Indeed, I didn't understand Brexiters back then, now after seeing EU approach to "pandemic" and two 3rd world countries conflict in Eastern Europe (TLDR EU shown how useless it is for my life in both scenarios), I would for sure vote to leave in EU country I reside for years, ironically I'm not even citizen here yet and my wife is not from EU.
That means only 10% of worldwide dredging is done in China and US combined, which surprises me. I wonder how much of the total is maintenance versus digging to a certain depth for the first time.
Nah. Put a thumb in the eye of the advertising industry at every chance, at every step, and take joy at the occasional sight of their simmering rage boiling to the surface at their annual conferences.
Discarding cookies wouldn't work. Browsers have many ways to store data locally - cookies is the simplest, but there's localstorage, IndexDB, and webdb too. It's trivial to put a tracking ID in any of them, and send it to a third party when a user loads a page. It's one line of JS code.

To solve this problem in the browser you'd need to discard all locally stored information when the user closes it.

Thia comes with two prpblems

- first, users rarely close their browsers. They may close a tab, or a window, but the app is still running. I'm pretty sure Chrome has been running on my Macbook for months.

- second, this mechanism would break every app that actually respects user privacy. Apps that don't upload data or track people need the users content and prefs to be held locally between sessions. By wiping it you'd force app developers to implement mechanisms to put that data in the cloud, which is the opposite of your intent.

For linear programming (i.e. all variables are continuous):

Geometrically in R^n, the set of all points that satisfy the constraints is a high-dimensional polyhedron. The best points, the ones that minimize or maximize the linear objective function, are on the boundary of that polyhedron. There is either one (a vertex) or possibly infinitely many (a face), but in some standard reformulations (e.g. all variables are >= 0), there is always at least one optimal vertex. Optimal points can be found using iterative methods either going through the polyhedron ("interior point methods"), or going from vertex to vertex ("simplex method").

In theory, interior point methods can solve the problem to optimality in a time that is polynomial in the size of the input problem. All known variants of the simplex method are exponential in the worst case.

In practice, interior point methods are extremely fast and solve most problems in 10-100 iterations regardless of size! You can expect a problem with 100k variables and constraints to be solved within 5-20 minutes. However, using floating-point arithmetic, the solutions are not always very accurate, so it is customary to add some iterations of the simplex method at the end to get a vertex (vertices have a combinatorial structure; there is no accumulation of error, and one can get their value to high accuracy). On its own, the simplex method is still very fast, count 10-60 minutes for the same 100k-variable problem (with very high variance, though).

For integer programming (i.e. some or all of the variables are discrete):

This is much harder. The problem is NP-hard. In theory it looks hopeless. Indeed brute force is hopeless in practice.

But one can still to a lot better than brute force. IP solvers use branch-and-cut. The fastest ones (in which millions of PhD-holder hours have been poured) can solve problems with hundreds of thousands of variables in typically less than 24h. Of course, it is possible to construct a problem with 4 variables that will take years to solve, but that typically does not happen with naturally-occuring problems. For specially-structured problems (like knapsack, TSP or vehicle routing), customized codes can use special techniques to solve problems with tens of billions of variables.
Simplex AFAIK isn’t used to solve real world “regular” linear programs as worst-case complexity is exponential, and polynomial algorithms exist.

As it happens, MILP solvers often do use the simplex solver internally, as it can be hot-restarted - you can modify the problem a bit and quickly get an amended solution.

> I work in a parallel industry where capturing motion at high speeds is critical, and in the last two decades, the cost of LIDAR and RADAR has barely come down

This doesn't track for me. What was the price of the cheapest Velodyne LiDAR unit 12 years ago, and what is the price of the cheapest today? My not-in-the-industry searching says a Velodyne unit cost $75,000[1][2] 12 years ago. IIRC, estimates of Google's inhouse LiDAR sensor (which is not for sale) was about $10-20,000 per unit - this was about 5 years ago. Currently, Velodyne is selling(?) the Velarray H800[3] solid-state unit that had a $500 price-point target[4][5] during development. How does this square with your assertion that the cost of LiDAR has barely come down?

Edit: I checked, it was precisely 5 years ago and Google claimed[6] that it cut the cost of LiDAR by 90 percent! I think you were wrong to say LiDAR costs have barely come down.

Honorable mention frameworks like Chakra that have minimal styling but have many quality of life features. At the end of the day I find there’s a trade off with the new benefits of tailwind like or reactive styling of components with an sx prop. I also think that react has the issue of being harder to customize than Vue which has scoped slots.
The most unethical thing about cookie consent windows is that website developers have to develop them in the first place. Cookies are fully opt-in from the client side, it would be trivial for a browser to have settings to ignore or adopt cookies based on preferences of the user. It is a total farce having these warnings, at great cost to developers and users alike.
The opposite is true.

A browser never creates a cookie or of thin air. A browser stores a cookie only when it's sent by the server, or set by JavaScript code sent by the server.

My strategy was just keep cramming more blocks in and wait. Eventually the pressure at the top forces the bottom line to rearrange and clear.

But I do think the threshold of complete line for the clearing of the bottom should be slightly lower to allow more frequent clearing. I think that would be an improvement that would also increase the playable fun duration.

PS I love this game I think it's very fun and maybe the tongue-in-cheek bylines should be "physically realistic Tetris"

I just noticed, as I think other commenters said, only the bottom line clears. I definitely think it would be an improvement, and I hope you consider, to allow other threshold complete lines to clear as well, as that would also I think increase the playable fun duration of the game.
No you don't. What site operators try to push as legitimate interest isn't by any definition legitimate interest.

To have it set in the browser is quite detrimental to online privacy. Legitimate interest is an attempt to circumvent the law. It is not like your browser is sentient and could recognize that.
