Because on devices with only WIFI the only way to give you 'GPS' like data is to scan for nearby wifi access points. There are several big databases in the sky that know about a great many Access Points and when your laptop says 'i see these 10 APs with this amount of signal' it can figure out where you are.
That, or, package maintainers could decide to maintain their packages for 10+ years. That at least distributes the workload among the package maintainers. Unfortunately, most package maintainers don't like spending time backporting bug fixes etc. and would rather be making shiny new releases (and can you blame them?)
It's not every day that you come across a company like this. You really have to give it to YC for supporting some of the most ambitious ideas that are not even within its wheelhouse. It's one thing to back an early quantum computing company like Rigetti - I would imagine that Sam Altman and other partners at the time knew a thing or two about that field. But a DAC plant? How do you fact check that in a 10 minute interview?

Another notable YC investment that I always admired was Immunity Project (an attempt to make a free HIV vaccine) - https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/immunity-project.

Do you really believe a Bitcoin miner would accept being shut down for most of the day? - yes, as the hardware cycles have slowed down this has become more and more viable to use old hardware some of the time.

Instead of putting a Powerline there or building a smelter or something else, Bitcoin is easier and makes more money quicker. - I assume there is already a powerline to any wind/solar farm. The issue is the negative priced electricity. If you can't compete with a bitcoin miner that is always seeking the cheapest electricity regardless of location then maybe your project isn't economically viable. Its not like miners have a monopoly, just agree to pay more than they are willing to pay

Don't you guys (in the US) still have child beauty pageants?
From the announcement presentation, this happened due to this image being an average of many, many different images. Due to it's size, the motion of the accreting material around SgtA* moves much, much faster relative it than the material around M87. While the accreting material around both BHs move at similar speeds, M87 is about 2000x more massive than SgtA. Due to that, the material around M87 takes weeks to orbit it, while the material around SgtA takes hours. Since each data point can be minutes or hours apart, the final image for a single data point can vary greatly between other measurements, and thus the need to average everything. To put things in perspective, we just confirmed through this image that SgtA*'s shadow is about the size of the orbit of Mercury around the Sun. M87's shadow, on the other hand, has a radius larger than the distance of the Voyager probe to the Sun.

Why a Password-Sharing Crackdown Won’t Help Netflix Much
yeah. maybe parental controls so parents know who their kids are talking to paired with good old fashioned undercover detective work might be a preferable approach to eastern bloc style listening posts.

> Until we start thinking from the ground up how to build and engineer systems that reflect the human brain, we're essentially wandering around in the dark with perhaps only a piece of what we _think_ is needed for intelligence.

I have wanted an approach based on a top-down architectural view of the human brain. By simulating the different submodules of the human brain (many of which are shared across all animal species), maybe we can make more progress.

I'd just like to disentangle criticisms of the practice of peer review from whether this commenter is an expert or not. The former is valid or invalid irrespective of the latter.
I admit that the NATO operation against Serbia in 1999 was of course not purely devensive with regard to NATO territory (as Kosovo was not a member). Its nature was that of a "humanitarian intervention" in favour of Kosovo; as such it was afterwards acknowledged by the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

I personally would have preferred, if the operation had not been carried out under the label of NATO, but instead in the names of the participating countries or something else. Anyway, in later conflicts where NATO was involved it avoided to participate directly under its own name. For instance the operations in Afghanistan, though under offcial NATO leadership, was carried out by an "International Security Assistance Force" (ISAF).

Nevertheless, I still hold that NATO is, at its core, a defensive alliance, since there is no obligation for the members to assist each other in anything else than an unprovoked attack on their territories. Beyond that, NATO structures have been used for various missions, often including non-members -- even Russia itself, as in the NATO-led "Stabilisation Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina" (SFOR) in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Such mission had always been case-by-case decisions, not imposed by the NATO treaty. Furthermore, there have been numerous examples where individual NATO members have been extremely critical of US missions or certain measures. For this reason in particular, I consider the talk of "vassal states" to be quite unobjective.
I've seen so few people be successful who are grown in a safe bubble within perfect control of their families.

Children need to be (controlledly) exposed to the truths of the world instead of being raised like Polyannas. There is good and bad in this world and if we show them only the good, they will have very hard time as grown up adults.
I live immediately next door to a school (~6 foot sub-street walkway between my building and the school building).

I've lived here for >25 years and am often outside my building smoking cigarettes(!). The "play area" for the kids is on the other side of my (and one other, total ~100 feet distance) building and classes are brought in and out most of the day.

No one has ever even looked at me (AFAIK) as a potential threat, and no one (school staff, parents or police) has ever asked me to "move along," or wanted to know why I was hanging around next to a school.

And living in NYC, it's not like folks will recognize me as one of the people who live in one of the 20 apartments in my building either.

In fact, I've only had positive interactions with school-related adults despite the "suspicious" behavior I display as an adult male "hanging around" an elementary/middle school "watching" the kids.

I can't say whether my experience is more common than that of TFA's author.

I do note that many parents (not that it's a bad thing necessarily) drop off/pick up their kids at school (this is NYC, so mostly not in cars, but to walk them home/wherever they need to go) at ages (8+) when I (and most of my classmates) walked to/from school (my elementary school and and this one are less than a mile apart, but 40+ years distance in time) all by ourselves with no issues.

In fact, we'd usually just go straight out to the park and play until dark, then go home.

Back then (mid-late 1970s), NYC was much more dangerous too.

As such, it seems to me that these changes are less about "keeping kids safe" and more about "security theater" to appease helicopter parents.

I could be wrong, but it seems like that's the most likely driver.
You might try publishing that comment as a dialog, but try not to ridicule the Pope's position too harshly, though. It didn't end up well for Galileo.
I love this question. I experience this too. I don't know why it happens, but it makes me think of my therapist asking me to journal things. Writing my feelings out helps to really get them out of my head. I feel like that's a positive outcome of the same thing that happens. There's also the interesting studies that have shown that if you write something down, you're more likely to forget it, knowing that you've written it down somewhere else.

Part of it might be the newness has worn off, and newness itself is a vibe, an energy, and you have that extra inertia I think.

This is not true, far from it. Why do you think this?
Socially the US is far more liberal than basically every country in Europe (even ignoring Eastern Europe.) Only people who have not lived in both places say otherwise. The US also -by far- spent more per capita during the COVID economic recovery than any country on earth (even excluding the retainment loans.) No country comes even close. That doesn't really fit the "right" wing dogma.

There's a myth around American politics largely pepetuated by people that have only had political experience in one place or only uses the media as a means to know the politics of countries. Even on abortion, the US has among the least restrictive in the entire world, looser than Germany, France, etc.

The big thing America really lacks is universal healthcare, which is the main axe people wield over the head of American politics to claim it's only corporatist right leaning. Government outlays really tell a different story than the narrative.

Neural networks, at the end of the day, are still advanced forms of data compression. Since they are Turing-complete it is true that given enough data they can learn anything, but only if there is data for it. We haven't solved the problem of reasoning without data, i.e. without learning. The neural network can't, given some new problem that has never appeared in the dataset, in a deterministic way, solve that problem (even given pretrained weights and whatnot). I do think we're pretty close but we haven't come up with the right way of framing the question and combining the tools we have. But I do think the tools are there (optimizing over the space of programs is possible, learning a symbol-space is possible, however symbolic representation is not rigorous or applicable right now)
Great drive UX as opposed to what? Have you driven a modern Mercedes of the higher price tiers? They're pretty damn great to drive or be driven in (comfort and fun wise), but they don't have gimmicks like the door thing and such. If you're talking about those gimmicks I disagree, and if you're talking about "motor/battery/esc technology" I also disagree, they didn't innovate anywhere, they just hit the right market with their product in my amateur opinion.
Matching columns by regular expression sounds like a terrible feature. Talk about bug-prone!
There are several factors that may affect per-app supply and demand.

- How expensive is it to discover a new vulnerability in a given app? (This may depend on code base maturity but also on choice of programming language, its inherent memory safety, and supply chain.)

- What privileges does a typical installation of the app grant once RCE is achieved?

- How hard is it to write a working exploit for a newly-discovered vulnerability, taking into account the security architecture that protects the app?

- Given a zero-day exploit, how many times will you have the opportunity to use it? How quickly will other parties discover it, is the vendor willing to provide patches, how long it is going to take, how much do the updates cost, and how difficult is it to upgrade the software in the field?

- Apps and computers tend to come in packs, and attackers love to move laterally. What opportunities would an attacker gain from lateral movement after gaining persistence in a given system?

- Market share and adoption may be skewed, as attackers may be interested in specific targets such as journalists or politicians, who may form a specific demographic with particular adoption rates, which can differ from those of the general population.
Why shouldn't we be able to just prompt for it, if our system models natural language well enough?

>Furthermore, the US left leads on progressive social values compared to Europe, such as immigration and social justice. The average European sentiment on race and immigration, such as their attitude towards Romani/"Gypsies" and Muslims is definitely considered right-wing in America.

Just because the US is fixated on identity politics does not mean it leads on progressive social values. Germany, a country with a quarter of the US population and way less territory has hosted a third of the amount of refugees the US has. Not even mentioning the data on total amount of refugees hosted by the EU because it absolutely dwarfs the US. As a migrant to the EU, the path to (legal) residency was extremely straight forward and easy, compared to the US. This is without going into topics such as socialised health care.

Sounds like the career path for a PM is even more constrained than that of a typical technical IC. At least the latter have a few "senior", "lead", "architect", and "staff" rungs they can try to climb before being forced to go the management route.
I see this backfiring in their face. I doubt the people who aren't paying for Netflix will respond to them cracking down on password sharing by opting to pay for their own Netflix.
ISTM that you're putting the cart before the horse: We don't need to be discussing whether content moderation needs speech protection, because the people who advocate for government regulation of content moderation haven't proved up the need for, and appropriateness of, such regulation.

(In litigation terms, since we're both lawyers: It's premature to focus on whether to give platforms free-speech protection for their content moderation would be akin to an affirmative defense: The question doesn't need to be reached unless and until those urging regulation of moderation succeed in making a Twombly/Iqbal plausible case, which in my judgment they haven't.)

I make a similar argument for train travel: since the death rate is ~10% that of other forms of transport, if trains could be made cheaper by compromising safety to say 50% of other modes, that would be a net positive as cheaper trains would move people off other, still more dangerous forms of transport.
> A new study ... finds that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is almost immediately nonviable if deposited on a cash banknote.

I wonder what the business model here looks like. I suppose you could try to get government to provide tax incentives for donations?
Well, it depends. I've never heard this term "groomer" before. I don't even understand the term but it sounds like there's a community or subculture out there that takes it very seriously. So, if I were in public spaces where people from that community where known to communicate with one another I would absolutely want to know if something I said was offensive or hateful. I would expect to have the issue brought to my attention if I inadvertantly said something problematic. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I just want to talk with people. I don't feel like my free speech is being impinged upon either.

It's really hard to tease out given the sensitivity of the issue but while the vast majority of SIDs deaths are environmental or situational (smoke, unsafe sleep, cushions, accidental parent suffocation, intentional parent suffocation...) afaik there does seem to be some low base rate of SIDs deaths which have no obvious explanation.

But frankly yes gold would also be a good option. It has its own risks but safer than my country's currency for sure.
