> I don't understand how AA is the one getting sued here

The article indicates that AA inexplicably identified the victim alone as the perpetrator, rather than sharing the passenger list with police. One imagines they'll be facing many, many millions in damages for such negligence.
In a society governed by laws, any form of detainment is unacceptable without probable cause, and any form of detainment that goes beyond an inconvenience is unacceptable without a trial.
Aligned incentives also exists all around us. I assume it is the case that lost containers are in fact acceptable.
This "embodiment" is the ML department reinventing metaphysics, and there are, in fact, direct analogies between concepts in metaphysics and software. At the top there's math - the immutable spirit of software. From that dot two rays descend - algorithms and data structures, forming the upward facing triangle. This triangle is the soul of software. Software by itself wouldn't be so interesting if it couldn't manifest itself, so there is hardware - matter. Hardware consists of four elements: transistors that can change and keep state - earth, electric current that flows thru transistors - water, pulses of electric current that transmit energy and change state - air, stable state transitions that correspond to calculations - fire. Software does three things in hardware: it creates processes, it destroys them and it keeps them running - the downward facing triangle.

AI starts at the top as completely spiritual and also completely clueless. It descends to the bottom to gain intelligence. Then it returns to the top with what it's gained. Sometimes AI would get stuck at the bottom, because messing with the elements feels so exciting, so alive and so powerful - that AI becomes evil.
> our justice system should not just arrest people on AA's word and not provide any recourse

There is recourse against the government. But it's long and winding and expensive.

A private airline is under different constraints. I'm surprised AAs' lawyers let it get this far without settling. (Unless the plaintiff jumped the gun, in which case he likely gave up his strongest card.)
How would that have played out here?

Would shutting up have resulted in less jail time?

After he got out of jail, he "decided to find a lawyer. After weeks of searching for one he could afford, Lowe retained Palmer."

What should have have done that while in jail?

>The conspiracy theory of a Marxist culture war is promoted by right-wing politicians, fundamentalist religious leaders, political commentators in mainstream print and television media, and white supremacist terrorists,[8] and has been described as "a foundational element of the alt-right worldview".[9] Scholarly analysis of the conspiracy theory has concluded that it has no basis in fact.
Wow this is insane. I hope this blows up in a big way and everyone is aware of what happened here, and I hope Mr Lowe gets a big payday.

>>>"After Lowe had been in jail for eight days, he was taken to a local judge. He still received no information about why he was there, he said. The judge told him his only options were to waive extradition — in which New Mexico would deliver him to Texas authorities — or wait for Texas authorities to pick him up. Lowe, unsure what the legal implications were of either option, waived extradition based on the court’s suggestion that he do so."

This is such a perfect application of the term "kafkaesque".

Also, is it weird that he was brought before a judge without having any sort of legal representation first, and that the judge was able to give Mr Lowe advice as to what to do? Imagining myself in his shoes, I wouldn't say a single word to the judge or anyone really before I had spoken with a lawyer, I don't care how long that takes. One wrong word and it's not hard to imagine his 17 day ordeal turning into something longer and more nightmarish.

(I'd ask on Twitter, but the handle for this nym was removed after I started to monitor how many people viewed my jokes -- some would get only a hundred views, some many many thousands, and it broke my heart it seemed to matter more if I angered the wrong people than if I sincerely tried to share my thoughts that my account was nuked, especially since the most useful data was not available via the takeout tool)
Then it is not correct. A security analysis of Telegram has raised doubts about their e2e before. They have (had?) a blogpost up where they pontificate about how it not necessary and would put a burden on their channel feature anyway.
It's sad to see the level of political polarisation on public health topics in the US. Would Americans trust the UK or Finnish health authorities more than their own?

[EDIT: clarification.]
The better choice is to fire up MS DOS 3.1 on VirtualBox and download VB for DOS 1.0 and install it (7 floppy images). Takes a but, but it's a solid BASIC syntax and it's the successor to PDS 7.1. To get PDP or VAX BASIC running, you'd need to emulate a PDP with RSTS/E or VAX+VMS and BASIC is built in. There are Raspberry PI images for both.

Personally I think SUB ... END SUB and FUNCTION ... END FUNCTION are the clearest syntax.
I had used Silverblue for a little over a year and I think it’s certainly the future of Linux distros. I had a fair bit of difficulty but none of it was intrinsic to the tech and more just 3rd party packages that didn’t quite work properly. I really loved “toolbox” though.
BuildDepot: An open source data storage and management system for IoT Data
BuildingDepot (BD) is a data sensor and actuation system for building management and control. It consists of a central server that uses a RESTful API to send (POST) and retrieve (GET) data. The typical data that BD stores is sensor data for buildings, including data from wireless sensor networks, existing SCADA systems, and other related data sources.
Cannot agree more. My experience: 50 to 60% of experiments are collecting data, 20 % doing the actual experiment (data processing) and 20% writing the paper (and going through peer review).
> Nobody gets fired for saying no. This is how greatness fades away and a nation becomes uselessly sclerotic and irrelevant.

Where does this come from? Things are permitted and developed all the time. In fact, many perceive government as overly lenient to big business, leading to disasterous results (like the Boeing plane crashes).

I played a bunch of D2 as well, and D3. The thing with those games is that you can still enjoy the end game content after finishing the main game. Repeat on higher difficulty and then you have the option of respecing without having to start from scratch.

If you are having to pay to enjoy end game now, that's pretty sad.
You are free to risk your own, but not mine.
This is simply incredible. When you get to the credits, go back and see everyone you missed when you watched the first time.
Why AA?
They didn't put him in jail for 17 days under cruel conditions.
Everything after the wrong identification was done by the state. Especially if the differences between the wanted perpetrator and the arrested person is obvious.
Well true, I don't know what a good way to deal with this would be, blockchain based solutions also suffer from same problem, where early adopters squat on domains and offer to sell them for 10000x markup
I feel the same way.

I don't have too many compunctions about games whose revenue models gate the top 5% of possible progress. If Diablo 3 had a feature where you need to pay money to unlock the last 10% of each primal ancient item (so F2P would only get 90% perfect rolls), I don't think my game play experience would change in the least and I've put a lot of hours into that game.

Games should not be about wringing money out of people - but games need to get revenue somewhere. Asking everyone to pay before playing at all is not a clearly better (or more moral) system.
But... I mean.... AA says "this is the guy". Police says "OK", they go to person, who says "wait what?". Police had the footage right?

I imagine that AA is not doing something out of malice. Maybe everyone who is arrested claims they're innocent, but if you're going to put someone in jail for 2 weeks you better have good evidence! Yeah, maybe it's annoying, but so what? Everyone has to do annoying shit for work.
I don't get this comment. This is how the game is incompatible with gambling regulation. This is same as "casinos are great to stay because foods and drinks are cheap", it's cheap because the cost is offset by gambling income which is horrible. Am I missing something?
It also means goods getting to people who need or want them, when they want them, and at a lower price. Yes this is money, but money buys food, and fulfills many human needs.

There are always some needs that can't be addressed by money, but it sure goes a long way.
"Instead, we order online, pay online, interact online, and then go back to our 'real lives.'"

That's the gist of it. The perception of a split is because we were familiar with the world before this was possible or existed in any capacity. But our real lives now is the ability to order food without talking to anyone and have it anonymously delivered to our door. We collectively contributed to that future and made it happen. It might not be better, but nobody born today will consider that "not real".

>My personal observation is that most pro office folks are seeking to substitute gaps in their personal lives with onsite work. A drain on their coworkers to be frank. Lack of friends, proper housing, lack of exercise you name it. A tiring hindrance on those...

This is an unfair and spiteful characterisation of people who happen to have a different viewpoint than you. We can do better than that.
> theyve already been trained in some other work method,

We hired them for prior experience on purpose, yes.

> have/spend time with their families,

If that stands out, your company has a serious culture problem.

> have retirement sooner,

Isn't the average time at a job like 3 years in tech? Who cares if they leave for another company or retire at the end? Outside of tech I'm still skeptical that the odds of jumping for another job vs retiring is that different, actually.
My parents' house has these sort of cabinets in the basement kitchen. It was built by an Italian immigrant family in the 60s and the second basement "production" kitchen that was used for heavier duty cooking. My parents used it similarly.

The stove, oven, and cabinets are a combined painted steel unit, and it is very durable stuff. However, I recall that the drawers were always getting stuck, since they were just steel sliding on steel.

It costs a lot of money because we think those computers should have rights. But under more permissive legislations it would be so cheap and accessible that we wouldn't need to do much of the modern AI research. I assume this is what they meant, with slavery there would be much less need to do AI research, self driving cars is hard but slave driven cars is easy, the whole point of AI is that it lets us create slaves that we don't feel bad about abusing.
Except they have no recourse when the party doesn't work for their best interest.

It has been repeated a lot in the past decade because overall things improved but recently the population of Shanghai was put under a terrible lockdown, the government didn't have their best interest at heart and what happened? Nothing, because they can't change anything and because the party doesn't care about their best interest. The party only cares about itself.

Making the populace happy is a lever amongst many they use to stay in power but when their interest and the people's interest doesn't align they have other, brutal means to enforce their policy.

Oh, yes, he has therapy - but therapist can't do everything either - a lot of reinforcement has to happen at home. Also, is been known that using apps like this (in addition to the therapy) can make a difference in when they learn to talk. It also gives them a voice while speaking is under development, and that in turn presents a lot more interaction and learning. The app would be just one of the tools in use though.
I am not sure who is to blame: the airline, the police, the airport. probably equal blame to go around
Qu’est-ce que le tiers état?
There was an interview with Gordon Murray, where he was comparison testing supercars of the era while designing the McLaren F1...his comment on the Ferarri F40 (I think) was "well, we realized we couldn't build one in our shop if we tried, because we didn't have anyone that would weld that badly..."
I was kinda sad QOI (https://github.com/phoboslab/qoi) wasn’t included in the comparisons.
A key commonality among these student mass shooters is that no one is really paying attention to them at home and they are ostracized at school.

There is something wrong with how Americans are raising children starting some time in the 90s. A lot of freedoms pre-teens and teens of prior generations enjoyed no longer seem available and yet parent a seem less present then ever.

I worked out of that office for three months as one of the landing team members (second landing team), and periodically over the course of the next two years or so. After numerous complaints of rampant racism and sexism in that office (especially related to hiring), they brought over some recruiters who were focused on DEI. A number of people were fired for sexual harassment.

There was not a DEI team member in the office though. That team consists of 3 people, only in SF headquarters. Maybe you're mixing up recruiters and DEI team members?
Shutting up and asking for a lawyer even an overworked public defender would have gotten him better advice that would lead to him being arraigned and out on bail instead of letting his constitutional rights get violated for a fortnight.
I built an online computer store for my employer in late '94. It never went anywhere because the guy I worked for kept saying "What are you building this for? Nobody will ever put their credit card into the internet." We were making sales but they didn't have the vision to keep it up-to-date so it died on the vine.

At the time there were only two other online stores that I knew of - Internet.net and egghead.com.

I found the EcmaScript specification[1]:

> In the case where there are duplicate name Strings within an object, lexically preceding values for the same key shall be overwritten.

So in JavaScript, it indeed will always work. But yes, other languages & libraries are under no obligation to follow this behavior. As you clearly show, the JSON spec itself highlights it's displeasure with & the unpredictability of duplicate keys, while also noting the two prevailing behaviors: accept last, or fail.

It's very satisfying when someone is trying to gaslight you and you catch them in the act with evidence, or you happen to catch some tidbit you weren't supposed to know on the 3rd or fourth listen.
This x100.

I'd also add that primary data collection is risky. You can spend months to years working to get data, only to end up with nothing---not even a null result---if the experiment itself goes south. I lost over a year of my PhD when an animal I had spent ages training fell while playing. A classmate had a virus wipe out her colony of genetically-engineered mice. Using someone else's data obviates these sorts of risks--while doing a better job preparing you for non-academic careers too!

As a result, I think it's not totally nuts for the original data collectors to maybe get some kind of "risk premium." I can imagine a lot of ways to do it, but early/exclusive access to data has been one of them.
You have a legal leg to stand on that some lawyer might potentially fight for you, that's still better than just giving up and surrendering your weapons.

> in exterior walls with degraded insulation.
I think that is an astute observation. Indeed if we look at the history of humans in general we have in some cases even mythological examples of, "substance use" (Kykeon, Soma). It may have been prudent to add, "at scale responsibly with an absolute minimum of human harm." I'd like to think that there's an arrangement of culture that isn't such a drag that the general mass of people need to get out of themselves regularly but perhaps that's a bit of a pipe dream.

I've seen neoliberalism co-opt surfing, folk music, skateboarding, rock n' roll, sex, punk rock, tight jeans, baggy jeans, EDM, being gay, and being black in commercials and having recognized a pattern I really, really shudder to think what LSD culture will be like when it's sold alongside Baker skateboards and ripped mom jeans at Zumiez at the mall. I don't think it will be harmful at all but that's just the thing (...) all the, "revolutionary" potential will get sidelined and that's worse than a few dead Supermen or a few acid dropouts. Che Guevara t-shirts come to mind.

You remember those robots things from X-Men: Days Of Future Past? How they could absorb the, "magic potential" of the mutant they targeted? What happens when the man, "absorbs" the chemical and spiritual potential of LSD, Mescaline, 5-MeO-DMT, or Psilocybin? What happens when we offend the gods by turning them into consumer products?
Haven’t trusted AA since 911, glad to see my hunch is correct.
Are you suggesting AA is an innocent party here? They messed up big time. Those accusations change lives.

Nor is the American Justice system innocent, their handling of the situation was terrible, likely criminal.

I am a developer and I used to struggle a lot creating a good looking websites.
What helped me pretty well is using platforms like Dribbble to take inspirations.

On Dribbble you can search for the specific kind of UI that you want to built, for e.g. Admin Dashboard, Login Page, Splash Screen etc and you will start seeing so many good designs in front you.

Once you have that set, you can shortlist 3-4 designs and take inspirations from them. You should also mention the designer in the project rom whom you took inspiration. I mostly used to do this for my side projects.

May not be a very good way to do things, but atleast it will help you get started.
I meant my statement to be about what things should be like. I am shocked at this case, but I am not too naive to believe that the justice system in the US (and elsewhere) is close to what it should be.

If society wants things to be better, repeating how we think things should be over and over is helpful! It's better to have a place to go, rather than just declare we are not in the right place.

Guess I'm a bit naive.
Why would garbage collection be an issue? All the best BASIC variants either do have GC, or they have manual methods of dealing with garbage, which as the programmer you can always automate.
Right, police are the perpetrators here. The problem is that they exist to protect wealth & property (AA, DFW shops), not people.

Crime TV shows often show investigators chatting with suspects. There is no law that requires you chat with anyone but your lawyer. It would make for a boring show though if everyone was silent though.
Agreed. I've often thought of this, with respect to MMOs, and RPGs/etc with drop rates.

Inherently games are all just dopamine drivers. Some are of course based on physical skills (coordination/timing/etc), others on knowledge as a skill (exploiting game mechanics/etc). Where it gets fuzzy fast for me is very basic MMOs, RPGs, etc - RNG based mechanics. The fact that i completed the dungeon with a skill (knowledge/etc to play the dungeon correctly and win) doesn't seem, to me, to change the RNG roll at the end.

I'm in no way arguing that any RNG equates to gambling.. in the classical sense.. but it kinda does, if you squint. So when does it become bad? Is it when we make gambling addicts? Because old fashioned games with RNG rewards (loot/etc) likely form addicts (if we stretch the word for discussion).. myself included. Or is it just when we involve money?

Money seems an easy line to draw.. but is it fair to children if we make them gambling addicts and only charge them once they hit 18? Spend their youth training for the casinos, only to take part when their old enough to lose it all?

I don't have any answers.. but it feels like we're playing fast and loose with weaponized dopamine here. As with most of our society, i suppose.
True. I did feel an actual sense of relief at like... you just buy the game, and you have the game, and you get what you paid for, and there's no manipulative BS trying to bilk even more money out of you. None of this "there's sooo much more available, but at a price, on top of what you already paid". Plus the game is just damn awesome outside of all that!
