I'm sorry to complained this happened to you. Definitely file a complaint with the DOT. Depending how much you want to push things, this could qualify as involuntary denied boarding (IBD). I would definitely pursue this.

You might also consider disputing the charge on your credit card. In the end, you presented yourself for check-in and were unjustifiably barred from the flight through no fault of your own.
> I am deliberately applying an individual level test to the social level. This is not fuzzy utopian everything-should-be-perfect idealism though. Think of it as an extensive test suite to run against a government's policies.

OK, but that doesn't answer the question. What's the pass/fail criterion for your test suite? For China to be such a particularly bad case, it seems like you must be focusing on those particular groups and weighting them more highly than in the actual veil of ignorance test (where one assumes an equal chance of being anyone), no?
NY proposed regulations requiring crypto mining be powered by 100% renewables
Estimating the energy consumption of a decentralised network and making a concrete assumption about it is just not making sense as claiming bitcoin and traditional finance are on the same ground.
I don't think this is correct. I think that in essence what we've learned over the past 100 years is that we need to be more conscious of the totality of the cost benefit analysis, because what happens is that a lot of industry can can make private profits by exploiting public goods. So it's actually encouraging that we're starting to more objectively look at different activities and "Ok, here are the private profits of this industry and here are the public costs". Energy is a really simple element of that, and in AI it's probably not the most important, but it is very easy to measure. It's very easy to say "If you want to do this AI stuff, it's going to mean X tonnes of carbon or Y tonnes of rare earth metals or Z square miles of wind turbines".

Having said that, in Crypto it's a much more compelling argument because it's like "Here are some obvious, big costs that are fundamental to the system, and there are almost no benefits" whereas in AI the nature of these algorithms is that we're likely to improve them, so comparing training GPT-3 is kind of like measuring the power draw of the LHC. It's certainly big and it's certainly something we can talk about, but no one thinks we're going to be building 100,000 LHCs.
Yes, but they are making an even stronger statement - that tech itself is political, not just the communities around it. Not free software, not surveillance technology, but all tech. Which is only true in the trivial sense that everything can have some effect on politics - if you sell a bookshelf, someone might put Atlas Shrugged on it.

Which brings us to the ridiculous point where, as sam0x17 noted, developing memory safety is treated as equally political as developing atomic weapons.

American surely gets subpoenas for manifests all the time. It's extraordinary unlikely their procedure is to do anything else other than provide the entire manifest.

What probably happened was they provided a single passenger instead of the whole manifest due to human error. Of course the police should have actually confirmed there was only a single passenger and it wasn't a mistake.
I am not sure the alternative (traditional banking) is so co2 neutral. As far as I know they all have plenty of huge buildings with hundreds of people wasting their time & resources working for them.

Don't get me wrong I am sure bitcoin is worse in terms of power usage, but not every crypto is automatically worse than what we have right now.
Many people do. A large part of Umbrels initial user base falls in that category. A reliable enough 1TB SSD costs <$100. A full bitcoin node takes ~500GB today.
> "Customers often seem to be more willing to accept the surcharges than outright price increases, he said. One restaurant operator recently tried raising the price of a signature sandwich, which resulted in a 6% decline in sales of that particular item, he said."

Maybe because they don't know about the additional fees until the check comes. The true cost of a dish (price of the dish + all other unavoidable and foreseeable cost/fees, tipping being optional) should be easily accessible to customers while ordering, and without requiring the use of a calculator. Does it call for more regulation? Similar to the one that required more transparency on fares in the airline industry?
I have one silly question. Is this for backend or frontend?
modem/phone couplers, anyone?
Most of the popular languages in use today have big corporations backing them. I would say that this is a major reason why Haskell and other niche programming languages are not more widely adopted.

Perhaps not, because you need to have a qualitative sense of context variation, and some contexts/fields of sense are not Bayesian in form - historical understand, for instance, depends on amassed narrative/empirical ...so that, for instance, my knowledge of progressive-era America depends on knowing a lot of facts and stories about different fields/metanarratives -- what Ann Douglas called the "feminization of American culture" --- the managerial revolution (burnham, Chandler), modern imperialism.
The bull names are intended. Since Audi took over, they name (almost) every car after a famous spanish bull.
Part of why we need huge libraries to put graphics on the screen is because those amazing graphics cards have comparatively large and complicated interfaces.
But it does involve fields of sense that are bayesian, and perhaps bayesian inference patterns will always obtain in any judgment?
Thank you, this is not evident in publications I have found.

Some crops -- I have seen mention of tomatoes and peppers, particularly -- yield more, sometimes much more, given partial shade.
Same here. Usually something starts out a neat way of doing things (say React) and then the solution actually turns out worse than the original problem. Especially as frameworks grow and somehow need to have new versions and functions beyond its original use case.

This may be something of a warning before macOS goes Apple Silicon only.

Consider Apple's transition from PowerPC to x86: the first intel Mac shipped in 2006; in 2008 Apple released Mac OS X 10.6/Snow Leopard which was intel only.

In 2020 Tim Cook said the Apple Silicon transition would take about two years and that Apple would "continue to support and release new versions of MacOS for Intel-based Macs for years to come" - without specifying whether "years" is 2, 3, or more.

It also oxidizes really fast. Any time you see liquid gallium in a video it develops a nasty sticky crust very fast.
Dhall is in some ways actually harder (at least, stricter) than Haskell, I think. The fact that there's guaranteed completion means the code has to have complete integrity. If you've defined a union type, then anytime you define a polymorphic function that takes that union type as an argument, you need to both handle all of the union type's actual types, and handle them properly. So even if you as the developer know that that one of the types is never going to actually be passed to this function, you can't just throw an error or set that scenario as undefined.
How large are typical binaries with TinyGo?

Go is a great tradeoff, it's about as easy to learn and fast to write as Python for prototyping, while being a much slicker, faster, compiled language. But will the runtime fit a tiny MCU PROM?

edit: A Hello World written in Go and compiled with TinyGo is just 10kB!

It also works on Arduino Nanos, has builtin support for UART, SPI, I2C and PWM, and can also generate Linux binaries. This is a great find!

This doesn't make sense. Being scooped means other people published the same idea before you.

If he truly believes the released data were fake, he can for sure publish his results. It’s not unusual for scientists to have different views on certain subjects. Some journals even have specific discussion sections for contradictory results. Finding the truth and correcting scientific records is also an achievement.

And at least, in the filed of biology/medicine, there are journals accepting “second first” papers, for example https://elifesciences.org/articles/30076 .

And quit a lot of publications are not grand breaking ideas. Incremental improvements can also be published.

I don’t understand your friend’s rationale to abandon the whole project he already started and didn’t want to find the truth and prove his theory (maybe it’s a different field thing).
Realistically the main thing OP has to worry about is this somehow getting his Google account flagged and locked by some buggy algorithm at a later date. Nothing involving a human would ever come about this, but it's Google we're talking about.
the US has been blatantly assassinating people across the Middle East and across the entire American continent

They haven't evolved past Far West horde methods of living with their neighbors, they are killing each other with firearms and countless death in schools

They let their people die, and their house burn because they have no money

They impose trade sanction to whoever doesn't want to knee and show their submission

They'll also impose their military base in your country [1]

Look at the evolution of Russia past 3 decades, and look how it has improved significantly, same can be said with China, they are barely in debt, what can be said about the USA? during that timeline

Ohhhh, yeah, the USA can trade with Saudi Arabia, no bid deal there ;)

Scenarios like this is why i keep offline archives of my most valuable digital assets, our family photos.

Literally everything except the photos can be replaced/restored/recreated, however impractical. The same goes to some extent for offical papers like passports, birth certificates, etc.

I keep all of our files in the cloud (using Cryptomator for privacy where needed), and keep a local mirror as well as a local versioned backup, and a versioned cloud backup (so basically 3-2-1). Besides that, i make yearly archives on Blu-Ray M-disc media of all the photos we've shot in the previous year. 25GB or 100GB media depending on how busy that year was.

I make identical copies, and store them at geographically different locations. I also don't use any form of encryption, compression or archiving. The photos are simply stored "raw" on the media using whatever filesystem Blu-Ray discs use.

Alongside the Blu-Rays, i also keep a couple of external drives (mechanical) that contains a full mirror of our family albums, and select personal documents like 2FA recovery codes, a backup of my 1Password, etc. This is stored as a GPG encrypted tar file. The encryption is symmetric with a strong passphrase well known to me.

These drives are checked (either long S.M.A.R.T. check or badblocks), updated and rotated yearly. Again, drives stored in geographically different locations.
> Not to mention that training a model is a "one time deal", where a successfully trained model can be reused by a lot of client (devices).

Inference is still done on GPUs, and is not cheap by any means. The number of GPUs you need to run the full 175B GPT-3 model in inference is vastly inferior to what you need during training, but the numbers of replicas of the model running in the backend to serve all customer's requests is vastly superior.

So it's more akin to a 747 being bought by OpenAI and kept continuously running than just one transatlantic flight.
You’re describing Qualified Immunity.

Sovereign Immunity does indeed apply to the government itself, as well as heads of state and representatives of that government.

It’s a superset of qualified immunity and absolute immunity.

Thing about computers is, they don't care, either way, an outstanding invoice is an outstanding invoice. The number is != 0 and so the machinery grinds on.
Well then you're still relying on the registrar, on ICANN, and your local legal system. But also, yes: with a blockchain, you're still relying on the blockchain, which can be attacked. There are no 100% solutions for virtual goods ownership :)
> Saying a particular sector (AI/Crypto/...) consumes a lost of energy and we should do something about it, is like treating the symptoms and ignoring the root causes. The problem is mostly how we produce energy, not how we consume it.

For AI, sure, for crypto (if PoW), no.

If energy was a tenth of the cost, PoW crypto would use 10 times more.

Foreign exchange is more complicated than that because exchange rates also have a time component: a price of 1 USD is not unconditionally equal to 1.40 AUD just because that's the exchange rate today.

If I agree to a contract to pay 1400 AUD in a month's time (at check-in to my accommodation) I'm not OK with learning that I actually owe 1500 AUD, because my agreement was to pay 1000 USD and the rate has gone up from 1.40 to 1.50.

Platforms like Airbnb don't always get this right, either, but they can at least specify the deal unambiguously in the fine print even when they display something else, and they should be able to accept payment of my 1400 AUD up front and take on (or hedge) any FX risk themselves.

Here's another way to consider the very deep question: bayesian inference applies to judgments of efficient causation, that is, a relationship between antecedents and consequents. This kind of judgement is very common, and very useful, but there are other kinds of judgement which may be needed to establish the likelihood of an event...specifically, what could be called "contextual judgement" For example, if we're trying to assess whether 9/11 was an inside job, we'd have to have to develop a sense of the context, specifically, the role of deep state false flags, and of secret societies within the ruling class culture of the United States.
This kind of "smart-contracts" can be made and tested today on the Bitcoin network. Instead of picking a block-height of 7-9 years in the future, you could pick one on the next 20 minutes....

The code (if not put in a Taproot transaction) is "naked" visible on the blockchain, so no "trust" is needed.

Better would be to show no/less ads and encourage users to donate to charities directly. Helping commercial interests exploit users so that you can donate some of the profit from that is really inefficient.
From the company founders' perspective it was never meant to make money, merely generate "growth & engagement" and the prospect of a monopoly in order to solicit VC funding.

For this task it worked perfectly, at least at the beginning. Thankfully the "growth & engagement" cesspool is finally draining and this is the expected result.
Have written evidence, and take screenshots of the websites and datetimes where you tried that.

Have all documentation in a way that it holds up in court (a phone call is worthless, but an email history goes a long way), so that in worst case when this escalates you can prove that there was no means of payment available.
Someone on HN once quoted some expert estimating that China could conquer Taiwan in two weeks. Surely a 100% reliable quote of a 100% precise estimate. Assuming that the invasion costs as much per day as the Russians spent per day in the first month of invading Ukraine, which has been 100% precisely estimated at $20B/day, the cost of seizing TSMC would then be $280B, slightly over half of its current market capitalisation.

It must be some sort of joke. Maybe a competition to see who can get the most ridiculous proposal past a conference program committee.
If you wanna get good laughs, I recommend any Austrian conference about energy.

So easy to trigger anybody, much fun.
Police asked for a manifest.

AA replied with a single passenger.

Police should have realized right away this was an error and re-requested the manifest. Stills from surveillance footage (included in the actual complaint another poster linked to) show multiple people boarding the plane.

The was this article is written is very bad journalism, AA (obviously) didn't know anything about the theft in a completely unrelated store, and didn't report it. The only thing they did was replied to a subpoena incorrectly. This article makes it sound like AA was doing their own investigation into a crime they knew nothing about.

I think it is pretty obvious that Chrome isn't a reliable browser. They say manifest v3 is for security and every good lie is hidden in a thin veil of truth. Yes, there are badly behaving plugins and yes there are users that will fail. There always are and they need to be educated about computer usage.

There excuse for the limits of the API is a plain lie and neglect to mention that abusive plugins don't need to use the webrequest API for their intends. They used it because it was powerful but there are hundreds of alternatives spy on passwords, input or personal data in general.

Google tries to implement the same paternalism it pushed through on Android just like Apple did with iOS. This is a reason we don't have good mobile OS. Google is an ad company and their motivation here should be very clear.

For the record, given that the parent poster believes that "later arrested on fraud charges" is relevant to the conversation, I feel compelled to mention some important details that were left out:

- Brazilian Supreme Federal Court annulled all the cases brought against Lula because the judge overseeing those cases (Moro) was found to be biased and have violated due process [1][2][3]. Leaked conversations from Telegram revealed that the judge and the prosecution were actually working together and conspired with the explicit goal to put Lula in jail.

- UN human rights commission also concluded that due process was violated [4].

- Lula was found guilty and arrested before the 2018 election. He was either leading the polls or a close 2nd. Judge Moro responsible for the sentence that blocked him from running and removed the main adversary for Bolsonaro was later offered the position of Minister of Justice for the Bolsonaro administration, which he accepted.

If we are talking about radicalism (far right or far left), lawlessness, and value systems in general, get intertwined with politics.

Radicals will often see violence and law breaking as a means to an end.

I'm not saying this is the case, I don't know much about Boudin. Just mentioning that sometimes being brought up as a child regarding lawlessness as acceptable can sometimes result in the opposite views as an adult. It's not cut and dry.
There's an overused term, but in this case it could quite literally be classed as virtue-signalling?

Hence the full circle to my original sarcastic joke. The OS definition serves a purpose of protecting users, even the bad ones, and maybe that worked when the "bad ones" where a minority with small impact.

But nowadays things have changed. The "bad ones" are big fish, and have enormous impact. A growing subset of devs now start looking elsewhere, and a plethora of non-OS licenses start to pop out. People still want to give their work for free, as long as it is not going to help someone else get rich while the original author doesn't see a cent.

One day, maybe, some organization will study the current landscape, and write a new set of definitions that are able to catch the spirit of this new situation. I guess it's just a natural part of how things evolve.
A possible alternative to MicroPython is Nim - it's a strongly typed language with Python-like syntax that compiles down to C. Since it compiles to C, it can use existing C libraries without much fuss (just wrap signatures as needed), plus there's no need for a "micro" version of the language.

Several members of the community have been working on improving the embedded ecosystem: although I haven't played around with either yet, the nesper library (for the ESP32) and ratel (generic framework: tested for the Arduino/AVR) have been recommended.
