Heh. It got almost everything off. The only two things it got right were gender and that I've smiled.

[?] Read terms - hah! I wanted to check what would happen if I don't tick the box. It let me through. I would've most likely read it otherwise.

[?] Beauty - okay, I'm flattered.

[-] Age - it thought I lied, made me almost ten years younger. I guess the model was trained to studio-quality photos, not what my camera had produced against a bright window.

[+] Gender - yeah, it got me, I'm an attack helicopter^W^W^W^W. Just kidding, but yeah, the model had worked correctly.

[-] BMI - it thought I'm overweight. I was underweight until very recently when I've started to work out and grew a bit of muscle making it to the lower threshold of "normal" BMI range.

[-] Life expectancy - hard to argue about it, but it's probably somewhat off, because I've moved almost halfway across the globe.

[-] Came closer - that was really weird because it thought I didn't, but I sure did. I've got at least 15cm closer, making my face from 1/4 screen tall to almost fit the it vertically. How it missed that is beyond me.

[+] Expression - OK, yea, I think I've smiled. Not sure if that was at that doggy - I was mostly just grimacing at myself.

So now it told me about my normalcy, I wonder the same thing - is that model normal, i.e. is it representative of what most people/companies why employ models like this actually use?
Exactly. I wish people stop using Retail as a counter argument, especially when 99.999999999% of them have no idea how Retail works.
The problem I have with this is that the court clearly never intended there to be an actual right to privacy, or else things like recreational drugs and prostitution would be legal, and mass data collection and tracking by the government would not. So really it seems like the right to "privacy" was contrived as a way to conjure a constitutional right to abortion, but never actually applied in all the ways we actually think of as privacy.

Interracial marriage bans are clearly ruled out by equal protection, so that really isn't a concern.
should really be higher up.
If anything, the banner indicates that the site is tracking you. The site chooses to do that. The GDPR doesn't force them to.
recently read the idea that a lot of anime contains sequences that are specifically crafted to be enhanced for viewers that are under the influence of nitrous oxide. something about its legality in Japan where other substances are strictly forbidden

Will the local CA certs generate security errors in modern browsers since they’re being issued for a domain (e.g. photos.localhost) that obviously can’t be verified to a CA like Let’s Encrypt?
Save money by replacing 14 year old machines? More Oracle in the cloud? IBMi is available in the cloud now.

Now they'll need how many engineers to move the code stack (that probably no one knows) to some groovy stack with 12 layers.
LOL. Indeed choosing to having children is arguably the most selfish decision one can make in their life.
The obvious ethical alternative is to make it an easy process to cancel and an easy process to renew and restore cancelled accounts.
"They just want to be the gatekeeper for lucrative applications/functions so they can charge for it."...on the platforms that they have developed, invested in and are maintaining, which also don't hold a market majority around the world.

"...they somehow convinced apple users..."...by making a product that fits Apple users' needs in a market that always had lots of competition, meaning that those who for whatever reason didn't want to use Apple products could always pick anything else.
So agree, its such a tragic story, the people of Numenor had life so good, until Sauron tricked them into throwing it all away. For me it was one of Tolkien's strongest stories and I always felt like it should have major screen time as it was a truly epic tale.
For people like Elijah Wood, I would say that before he was working. Deep Impact was hokey, The Faculty was essentially a Class of 84/99 retread.

They're alright, but just that.

He was a notable child actor who was trying to transition into more adult roles. I'd say he was known, but not the first person you'd ever think of.

Lord of the Rings changed that. It made him an "actor". From there, he got a lot more work and he was able to influence what he worked on.
Been waiting on this announcement for a while. As someone who took a crypto class in college, but isn't a crypto expert (just knows the basics and basic theory), this is very neat to see. I'm looking forward to never implementing it myself :)

Apple makes peanuts from the App Store relative to phone sales. After they upped the cut for developers to between 70% and 85% and CC companies still get their cut, add customer service and app reviews and it simply isn’t that profitable.

What they benefit from is selling 1,000$ phones at a 30+% profit margin, because for the average consumer they simply work better. Which actually aligns incentives between customers and Apple quite well.
Again, some context. When this was written (2012), Facebook had a relatively spare, unobtrusive design that focused on user content. In contrast to what came before (MySpace), Facebook felt modern and even human-centered.

Of course, in a remarkably short amount of time, Facebook threw away that goodwill by chasing "engagement" at any and all costs.

Personally, I would not have praised Facebook as a model for great design even in 2012, but it's more understandable in that historical context.

I’m pretty sure Apple would still turn a profit even by just selling the hardware in Europe.
It’s kindof shocking to see it take so long to move away from mainframes. I understand it a bit with regard to banking specifically, but I’m shocked to learn FedEx is such a dinosaur.
"Sri Lanka banned the import of foreign fertilizers not because they were committed to being organic but because they had dire foreign exchange shortages"

In a free-market economy, the government is not in charge of importing things. It should make no difference whether the government has any foreign currency. Private actors can import things if they have the foreign currency to pay for them. Which they can get by exporting stuff.

I don't know what sort of deviations from a free-market economy are going on in Sri Lanka that led to this problem. But something is very wrong. Destroying your agricultural sector so the government can get more foreign currency is just obviously stupid. Unless, of course, you're benefiting from some corrupt scheme involving government control of foreign exchange...
> But how will the cloud providers avoid these trends?

Innovations are more likely to happen if it is someones priority to fix a certain thing. I think they hope that savings from innovation and better methods at what ever company they hire out to are passed onto them. It is naive if they are unable to change clouds though that they will see these savings and as long as one relies on vendor specific features on is in that position.
Yes. You've drawn a conclusion about motive without supporting evidence. You don't know why people quit trying to cancel, it could be that they became so frustrated with the cancellation process that they gave up.

Also, if you want to inform folks of features they might not know about, waiting until the are about to cancel is probably a bad design. And needing three modal boxes to inform them is absolutely a dark pattern and unethical.
It's probably just a job. Some Amazon executive says, "Hey, can you write us some Lord of the Rings episodes for X dollars?" Writer says, "Sure." I don't think hubris enters into it, the same way that construction workers don't usually compare their output to the Roman Colosseum.

I also don't think that the Tolkien universe is somehow sacrosanct. If the show sucks, then it sucks - it doesn't take away from the original writing. There's plenty of bad media based on the Tolkien books as well as endless merchandise and other cash grabs. There's even a Gandalf Funko POP[1], for goodness sakes.

It would be great if the show was good though. We'll see. As others have mentioned, Amazon studios seems to have pretty poor taste and produce a lot of crap. Though Patriot is quite excellent.

This is a direct counter-example to the claim that we cannot engineer a situation where a particle lasts longer than it would in its free state.
By definition wars are large scale conflicts involving many actors, all interconnected. If it could easily be followed then everyone is doing things horribly wrong if they wind up so predictable and not cycling through manuevers and countermanuvers.

It isn't some grand conspiracy - war is hard and only fools have believed otherwise. "Be home by Christmas" is a synonym for foolishly optimistic for a reason.
The particles are very shortlived, so the brief answer is that they do.
Archegos Analyst Wants His Money Back
This is analogous to player position in any multiplayer game.

One additional parameter to keep in mind is how real-time does your simulation of remote players need to be? If you don't need real-time positioning there's a whole other dimension of shortcuts you can take by introducing what amounts to a 'streaming delay'.

In a lot of these apps the cursors can't interact with each other so you have no need for real-time positioning and its accompanying smoothing techniques. Cheat cheat cheat! That's how games get their performance, way more often than being smart they're clever opportunistic cheaters!

People buying consoles are not buying them for epic frame-rates or 8k resolutions..

I bought my console because I absolutely despise Windows, and despite being a gamedev myself I cannot convince other gamedevs to work as linux for a target.

Even then, the amount of effort fighting my operating system and the spotty support you would get (even on windows) is troubling.. because PC's generally are running a complicated workload at varying degrees of state.

I buy a console game, it's going to work and if it doesn't I'm going to get my money back. My time is too precious to waste on excessive debugging to access entertainment.

Ironically the PS4's insane update sizes and slow storage adapter nearly caused me to go over to PC.. So it doesn't always work, admittedly.

By "double the graphical power" you mean it has more compute units, not the clock speed, memory or bandwidth, which tend to be more important in my experience.
And yet somehow humans got on before all that. I know a few people who have kids and I can guarantee they aren't spending near that much because they don't have that much.
Buckminster Fuller made a few designs for this, as well.
"Mr. Big" and "Head Honcho" are euphemisms for "the person who is actually in charge", or the boss.

"Director" and "Showrunner" are job titles you'd have on your resume. In the case of the showrunner, they're directly involved in day to day stuff. I've heard interviews in which showrunners say their job involves making 500 snap decisions every day: "which fabric swatch should we use? is it worth an extra $80k to film in this location?" that kind of thing. I guess the software equivalent would be a product manager? In Kathleen Kennedy's case, as head of Lucasfilm, she's making big decisions on everything, but likely not micromanaging individual decisions. So, she'd be the CTO or equivalent.

Did you read the book? It’s a good one. He was rejected (and they guy conducting the evaluation laughed secretly at him).

Feynman wanted to march off to war. Back then, that war was perceived as a righteous war. Hard to believe, I know.

And bicameral doesn’t explain away the thought controlling. Those thought controlling are a thousand miles away in the protected confines of solitude, not hiding behind a bush a dozen feet away.

> So was I until I grew out of it. What's your point?

That I’m not Nordic nor Protestant.

> ... yes? The data is very clear about that including significantly less cars made per employee hour in FIAT's Napoli plant than in, say, Poland.

So, is it a racial thing? The Italian is inherently less productive because he doesn’t have the German spirit?

> The CFA is not a conspiracy theory, ask Congo (or Gaddafi.

I’m not sure Gaddafi opinion would be relevant.

> I think German appetites are well known in Europe going back a millennia. Im hardly the first to note that the Germans have, through the EU, accomplished exactly what they've wanted what they've failed to do in a thousand years of warring.

So the Germans are back at the Reich thing and Frau Merkel is a cover up because we are scared of people with moustaches.

> Read my original comment. I clearly state that I dont know if it was in the treaties or not, however it is a common complaint that there supposedly was an agreement. I then explained why that agreement would make sense, since no rational actor could possibly enter a single market without some safeguards.

So you read it on a blog and you think it makes lots of sense but you can’t explain how? What are these safeguards supposed to be? If Audi makes too many Audis than Frau Merkel has to drive a Fiat Punto?

I don’t think you should continue with this.
The SQLite Index Suggester
It lasted 50 years, and helped provide the framework for many other privacy related protections, which the current supreme court is now dismantling, basically because they can. Many other privacy related rulings, including those for mixed-race marriages and rights to contraception, where built partially upon RvW.

One thing the RvW ruling had that a law wouldn't is a reluctance for most supreme courts to overturn it, since an interpretation exists and now helps form the basis for laws in the US. There's a specific name for this codified reluctance that I don't know at the moment. This is one of the things that the 4 "no" votes openly criticize the majority opinion for. "We're overturning it because we want to," is a short version of the majority's opinion on that.

Ironically, it's court-based interpretations of the constitution that have been performed over the years also help provide the very case law that the SC uses to do the overturning. As one Tiktok creator pointed out, the constitution can fit in a pretty small booklet. The interpretations and the case law built off those interpretations fill thousands, if not tens of thousands, of pages.

Cannot antitrust against Google solve it?
To your point maybe one key is if someone has had years of past engineering experience with wisdom that has translated into leadership skills.
It is nearly impossible to accurately simulate a “software body“.
It's a point of correlation. Suppose you know person X in your area has a tattoo of a skull on their right arm, smokes Marlboro red cigarettes, is left-handed, and uses an iPhone, and all this information is fairly recent. You notice someone with a skull tattoo and decide to observe them, the three minor details take the id from a possible to a probable.
I use to operate like this as well, but I bit the bullet and moved my apps to containers when upgraded my server hardware. Using portainer, mapping my container data to volumes on the file system. It was all incredibly easy to do and it gives me a web interface that I can manage my lab from my iPad. I rebuild my containers periodically through the gui by clicking the rebuild button and telling it to pull latest. It is so much easier to me at this point that installing a ton of packages that may or may not conflict into the operating system. Its all cleanly separated into isolated packages and management of versions and dependencies is much nicer as well.

My setup is portainer for container management on top of docker-ce, running on debian.
What kind of haste are we talking about here? Is it nanoseconds, or even faster?
Abortion disinformation is growing and dangerously divisive, experts say
I don't think that's true at all. My experience (which appears to be the same level of 'fact' as you present) is that there are people who lease, who trade out cars every X years like clockwork, and people who buy who keep the car until something happens that clicks 'that isn't worth fixing', which these days is often way down the road. Possible not 200k miles, but far more than 3-4 years.

FWIW, other than one car I bought new, every car I've had I purchased off-lease (so lowish miles and 2-3 years old) and kept it for at least 7-10 years, often getting to 200k miles.

Maybe fines like this could fund UBI?

Society could vote on a number of measures designed to create a sustainable economy. For example, instead of carbon tax credits, we could just set a ceiling on carbon emissions and let companies pay the fine, then send direct payments to everyone. Or set a living wage of $20/hr and make companies directly responsible for paying the shortfall that the government makes up in welfare payments. Or even create a national debt tax, where any cost overruns would fall on the companies who lobbied most. Basically make all of the amoral sources of profit no longer profitable, to starve the beast of multinational corporations so that they can't overtake world governments. Kind of a trickle-up approach to economics to immediately put cash in people's pockets and incentivize automation instead of the daily grind.
You probably meant Wozniak, not Jobs.
> cold climates is tough with a layer of snow on the roof

Snow is actually helpful by insulating. The sun is closer to the horizon over winter, so it's your vertical windows doing the heating anyway.

An obvious issue is how much sunlight you get over winter. Not just in hours, but in N. Europe, you might have continuous cloudcover and not see the sun for weeks at a time.

Whoa, awesome work OP this is super neat!

Not only is it an actually useful tool for pen testers, and a remarkable PoC for abusing eBPF, but it's a sweet and simple example for how to write an eBPF module.
The logic applied by OP was that crypto will become trad-fi in a couple years and was basically rapidly moving in that direction. The extension of the logic was that at the same pace, it will quickly outpace traditional finance in innovation.

You are unwittingly making the argument that traditional finance, or the future thereof, is (/ "should be") tulip bulbs. Perhaps not the worst of arguments, but probably not your intention to advocate as you have that traditional finance become tulip bulbs.
Because laws need to be justiceable

Overly general laws are prone to either evasion or arbitrary and unjust enforcement
Yeah, air source has problems at cold temperatures, especially if they cheap out on ice detection.

Fresh is not the word I would use for condensate. Try drinking some of you disagree :). It's corrosive for metal,{EDIT: maybe I just have that confused, see replies} which is why it usually doesn't find a purpose, but you could run it to plants. I have a window A/C which uses it for cooling the outside coils though.
Then change the law. If the law only counts when whoever is enforcing it happens to like it then we are all going to have a very bad time.

Edit: tone down phrasing
I don't find Fastmail to be a super reliable provider, their docs aren't thorough, device support is minimal, and their customer support is a bit lacking. Spam filtering seems iffy. Also bizarre that their mobile client doesn't cache mail.

I would treat them as any other mail provider; use IMAP and SMTP with your own client, only use the features built into the protocol specs, use a custom domain. By not leaning heavily on custom features you can change providers quickly, and there's fewer things to break. Also, you should probably mirror all your mail to a different provider so you have a backup in an emergency.
Oh, I agree. It definitely has advantages once you get the hang of it! It might be nice if it was optional though so newbies could ignore it entirely.
If you know how Docker works, it’s much easier than messing with all sorts of different services with different requirements. It’s just “add the thing to your docker-compose” and you don’t need to know how to set up PHP on a server or what a virtualenv is.

- Upside: Having a catchall account where I see all email which didn’t reach any existing mailbox.

- Upside: Google doesn’t have our data.

- Upside: Excellent service, and we can talk to a human when we have an account question.

- Downside: Everyone has a personal gmail account anyway for Google Spreadsheets or for the Chrome synchronization (and Chrome will nag you till no end).
That’s not the only way but “come

Management are contemporary clergy, spewing high minded ephemera, only to go home unable to point at anything net new left behind by their effort.

I grew up in farm land; we had no middle managers. Somehow food still got grown, harvested, and sold; somehow a Linux kernel and other wildly popular open source exists without them.

Post-WW industrialism needs to wind down. Militant minded people came home and forced their PTSD on workers. We spend a lot of resources equipping people to output nothing in deference to traditional economic memes. America of recent decades necessarily built itself into a production powerhouse to resupply a destroyed world. Such memes are outdated given automation and unsustainable given real material costs.
It's a single line to do file persistance.. and then you can treat the rest of the app as totally ephemeral.
