> I removed my original reply upon realization the poster to whom I responded was likely too angry for debate

Strong arguments don't lead with transparent emotional projection. If it's important to you to imagine that I am "likely too angry for debate", you are likely already rationalizing an indefensible position you are attached to for whatever reason. Better to abandon it.

Sifting through the largely irrelevant (in the sense of the immediate context of this thread) mountain of words you've dumped here, it seems that the best you can do wrt. the actual substance of my original comment is that women will first have to die to generate "outrage" that will then somehow cause laws to change, to which I think my originally drafted reply suits just fine. Apologia for policy that will kill people is astonishing; it is disgusting; and it is what precisely you are engaging in here.

That doesn't sound really effective at all. So you only go after the 'free online SMS numbers' so every number behind a minimal pay wall still works?
He is a bit of hypocrite when gitlab pays different depending on where you are located. So if you live in a poor place you get way less. So remote work isn't just work. It highly depends where you are.

Equal pay for equal work and equal qualifications. No adjustments for where you are located. Your product costs the same all over the world. Pay your employees the same as well.
Ultimately, the ideology of not having an ideology, or centrism, favors the status quo, which is not a great way of creating the change you want to see in the world. You will always take actions depending on the results you want. Ideology serves as a way of understanding the change you want to see, and which actions are the most useful and powerful to take.
Ideology can also serve as a way of finding likeminded people, promoting your ideals and organizing.

Also, it's funny how you blame socialists for society not being able to fix the problems of capitalism.

How about with taxes paid there?

German chancelor Olaf Scholz halted $10b Nord Stream 2 project and plans to stop fossils import from Russia to cut cash flow to Putin's regime. Other repercussions' goal is similar: to stop indirectly funding Putin's invasion.

Everyone paying Russia could just "stay put" but this wouldn't be inaction.

I agree. I wonder if using "james gurney" as a description here is a trademark issue.

That said, I find things like "DALL-E 2 Variations" much more worrying. If you look at their flower shop example, it's difficult to argue that we still need stock photographers if you can get those variations for "free". But of course, the AI can only produce the variations, because some human took the original photo. So in effect the DALL-E variations then become a tool to obfuscate the original photographer so that you can use his/her work without paying.

As for the datamining, I believe that's unrelated to the license. I believe in the US you are legally allowed to train your AI on any data, no matter what the original license was. Otherwise, Co-Pilot on GPL or MIT code would also not be permitted.
That's just the DMCA.

Note that game credits sequences are sometimes just a list of who works at the company at the time of release, and not an actual reflection of who worked on the game.

This has resulted in a few problems where people get their name stripped off of a game they worked hard on but left the company prior to release etc. Also people may appear on the credits that were in fact in a different department on a different team and never touched the game.

> A title like this should emphasize on the 13,200 years part and why it took so long to solve this mystery.

Correct me if I'm wrong because I stopped reading quickly after realizing it was clickbait, but the skeleton was discovered in 1998, so at best the mystery took 24 years to resolve, so I don't see what there is to emphasize.

Anyway, I'm off to figure out the billions of years old mystery of what I'm gonna have for breakfast.
Okay, yeah, I would broadly agree with this. I think most people use template-based polymorphism, which is pretty flexible in practice. The use of virtual methods is verboten for many common use cases of C++, due to the necessity of being in paged memory, so constructions for dealing with polymorphism without virtual methods are commonplace. And std::variant is a bit of a hot mess.

You will need to look at the local tax/legal/customs/immigration rules for your target area, before setting up a company. As of 2019, there are limits on sales and how many customers in a given US state will trigger IRS tax filing rules for international corporations... this is one reason why your corporate tax expert should not be your legal rep as well. These rules apply to Amazon/ebay stores as well... It is a $10k USD fine if you try to YOLO this part. ;-)

In the post "Why does typography matter?" referenced from that page, there's a great passage:

"“But I don’t have vi­sual skills. I don’t know any­thing about graphic de­sign.” That’s like say­ing you can’t dress prop­erly for court be­cause you don’t know any­thing about fash­ion design."

It's worth bearing this in mind. A kind of cookbook approach to style works well enough for many things, especially if you don't care about being perfect. As Molly says in Neuromancer, "You look like you care enough to fake it."

The Schrödinger equation is not Lorentz invariant, so standard quantum mechanics is not compatible with relativity. Bells equations and all those stuff is all based on non-relativistic QM.

It is true that we have quantum electrodynamics as a relativistic version of QM. However in QED the number of particles are not fixed and a wave function can therefore not be defined.

What I'm criticizing is that most papers on Bells equations, contextuality, popescu-rohrlich boxes, spooky action on a distance, collapse of the wave function, decoherence simply ignore that QED exists and relativistic effects might play a role in describing the seemingly "magic" effects of QM.
Their algorithm dispenses a personalized feed that uses soooo much data from your watch preferences alone, regardless of it's permissions. This is so far ahead of user suggestion systems on other platforms, which are generally driven by collaborative filtering. Which inadvertantly is a stopgap for psychological exploitation of users. Other platforms plateau on their information gathering of profile due to the implicit conformity of the exchanges on social media. Not TikTok though.

I want to start by saying this isn't your Cold War sheen propaganda. This is Harmonious Society, "river crab" propaganda. This method can belie and camouflage the salient points of persuasion, sure. But it's not only intended to stream a deluge of coercive media. The purpose is to dominate the aesthetic discourse around topics, learning as much about you as they can, while ingratiating their clusters of community norms at the same time. There isn't a monolithic identity either. It's about picking the winners of our long form cultural evolution. Country to country data definitely shows varying preferences, but aside from the initial exposure to determine what clusters you associate with, these feeds are tailored heavily by user interaction.

The public description of their process divulges the use of object and character recognition, along with audio/tag keywords, to all items in a video. So even on a virtual machine with no app permissions, this site is making an incredibly detailed profile of your media consumption habits. For example, when you stop watching a video at a certain point, TikTok records what items were in it up to that point making you stay, and what audio/objects occurred at the point of losing interest. This catalog culminates as a set of meticulous preferences that end up correlating to all sorts of useful suggestion information; preferences for video formats(do you like dance videos, rants, or documentary content?), types of speech(language and culture obviously, but also intonation, volume, frequency of use, monologue vs dialogue), length and pacing, even framing of the camera, its all logged and associated with your device and you. Along with this, topics and community clusters are accrued.

This goes way beyond blanket brainwashing or disinformation propaganda in it's effectiveness. It's like if a personal interrogator was assigned to billions of people to know every minute detail of their personal media narratives. And at the same time, became a congenial friend who is coaxing all of them to subtlety shift their identities and preferences. Mass media always takes this trend to some degree, but TikTok isolates the individual's identity. (I didn’t write this lol)
To me the fact that top officials in both the US and China have a likely interest in not investigating lab origins goes a long way to show why this hasn’t been done. And why no other country can get the ball rolling on it, these are the two most powerful countries in the world.

IMO it’s likely no one knows where this virus came from right now. but it could well be a lab, but anyone who could potentially investigate this theory absolutely does not want to in case it turns out it was.

The latter might be feasible (Though I doubt databrokers will let the current laissez-faire data-rights landscape go without a fight). The former is both wrong and infeasible.

Bigger models get better at copying style with fewer examples. At some point, it'll be enough for a big model to see sufficiently few examples of real people drawing, "X in the style of Y" to get a sense for how to draw a thing in the style of Y.

Or an end-user could just feed a single instance of parody art in some artists style, ask for variations, in-paint what they want, and voila! Copyright free [citation needed] style transfer.

It will always be possible to launder style, even while adhering to promises to never touch an artists work (directly). Training on an artists entire body of work is not the only way (and thanks to copyright, a not even desirable) way to do so.

> Team Blue has fewer abortions than Team Red, thanks to contraception.

...and states run by Team Blue tend to have fewer abortions, in part because of easier availability of contraception, but also in part because people are less desperate and feel more able to cope with unplanned pregnancies. (And the country as a whole has fewer abortions after seasons where Team Blue is in control than Team Red.) Many pro-life people who saw what a danger Trump was made exactly this case to their peers, both in 2016 and 2020.

Additionally, most Team Red people I talk to actually do believe in a social safety net; they just want to make sure it's not wasted on "lazy people". They don't have an accurate picture of exactly what it is that Team Blue and Team Red are both doing with the social safety net. (They don't even tend to have an accurate picture of what Team Blue and Team Red are doing in terms of abortion.)

Rather than slagging these people as regressive hateful backwards bigoted hypocrites, it's better to engage with them: Take their preferences into account, make sure they're informed of the actual situation on the ground. (Again, I'm talking about the individual voters, not politicians, who may well be hateful backwards bigoted hypocrites.)
Actually there's a decent argument you shouldn't allow arbitrary logging targets, especially anything that requires network calls. Writing to a file that's then monitored and uploaded to a database or other managed logging service is more robust. But at least allowing console output, file or in Windows OutputDebugString output is definitely needed.
Except that isn't the design approach from TypeScript, all TS code without type annotations should be valid JS code.

As for your Kotlin example, Dart's failure shown why it isn't a good approach.

Kotlin also shows what happens when the underlying platform decides to go in another direction (value types, loom, default methods on interfaces), and the amount of boilerplate that needs to be generated to pretend to be like the host language.

A language that only matters, thanks to the way Google is pushing it on Android to replace Java for anything besides system libraries.
I can’t easily find the links (but I’m sure they are available), but there’s a [relatively] new science, that ‘fingerprints’ people’s writing style.

It can be used to match things like anonymous rants, to individuals.

Calling out anthropomorphization of corporations when related to morality or politics while attributing rationality or self-interest is a contradiction.

Corporations have no self-interest or do not think. Corporations are human artifacts composed of human beings that have specific rules applied to them in the great game in our societies, and tend to behave accordingly. This behavior have patterns that we as humans recognize unsurprisingly as human, because they are composed by humans. A corporation is a as rational as a group of humans can be.

Corporations do not always "act" in their self interest, and we can (and in my opinion should) expect moral obligations from them as we do with humans.
Fwiw I live in Barcelona, pickpocket capital of Europe due to misguided laws, and I always turn in lost property to the authorities. Over time I've turned in at least 10 ID cards, phones and a bunch of bags. It does happen :)

Of course I'd return a wallet as-is as well without dipping in the cash (though I would count it and register the amount on the form when submitting it to the authorities to avoid any 'mislaying') but I've never found one with any in it. Most of the 'lost property' I find here is just discarded by the pickpockets.

Also, when there's identifiable information in the wallet I would contact the person on Facebook or LinkedIn if possible.

PS the misguided part is that pickpockets get only a fine for thefts below 400€. Even if it's the 5000th time.
Yes less of everything please. I’ll continue doing my part by doing as little as possible.
really interesting to read opinion from the past; liberty in this definition was purely down to the free market / small state capitalism of the HK, rather than democracy which of course Hong Kongians never had, nor much agitated for, prior to 1997

This is one reason why laws need to apply to everyone equally, since only by doing so will everyone have a equal interest that it exist and get enforced. It is also one reason why government and religion need to be separated, since otherwise there will be a imbalance between those who belong to that religion and those that don't.

Raindrop snapshots and indexes most things you bookmark with it.
It also has an API and integrations with ITTT.

I used to live by chromes syncing bookmark feature but it wasn't always easy to get content bookmarked in chrome on my phone especially.

My biggest gripe is that the search is direct and doesn't provide much wiggle room in finding what you're looking for. Super handy though if you can remember a key phrase from the article.
For the same reason in any other kind of industry, when things don't work they get refunded, and when things go wrong people get sued.

Software shouldn't be a special snowflake in that regard, and because it currently is, that is what allows business to disregad quality and good software development practices.

Even 1 euro shops and street food joints have a minimal set of quality standards they must adhere to, or get closed down when not.

The real *ways (not just rails, also roads) issue is one: evolution.

We start a project a day, with a certain set of needs and desires. The project takes time to be complete, let's say 10-15-20 years, at the end some parts of the network are still useful and valuable many others are not. Change them is hard, demand again more time, once done (IF done) we end up in the similar departure scenario.

Society does not change that fast in general, but still do. In the past we have followed nature and people have started to follow transport networks, now with climate change, transport tech changes etc we experience issues.

The sole solution is IMO:

- do their best to create free networks, like privileging air and water transports who demand infra but only at their endpoints letting paths evolve much faster and simpler;

- do their best to avoid LARGE infra, preferring capillar ones were surely there would be useless parts but being a small local size and much connected network any segment cost far less so both profitable ones and unprofitable ones can be operated.

In the past we have seen something like this, for rails for instance: http://carfree.fr/img/2015/06/sncf.jpg overall the old network worked LESS well and cost A BIT more, but the old one allow many paths from A to B so allow flexibility, the new one is far more efficient AS LONG AS transportation needs do not change.

We have seen the very same issue in modern just-in-time manufacturing and we see that solutions found so far are the same: less efficiency traded for more flexibility.
