> since nits indicate the amount of light (candles per square meter) hitting a board 1m from the source,

I think I can see how you've got here but that's not correct. It's about the light emitted per square meter of the source, not a measure of the light hitting a board some distance away.

Moving a screen closer doesn't make it more intense, because as you move closer it covers more of your vision. Total light increased, but not more intense.

Why does a police force need “Remarketing” cookies?

I think two things need to be true for a “feature” to be able to mature into a full fledged company/startup:
1. People need to be willing to pay for it.
2. Other companies shouldn’t be able to replicate it easily and put you out of business overnight within a single release.

Part 2 is especially important if you’re building or extending functionality on top of a platform. An example might be the old swipe-to-touch keyboards on iOS. Once Apple built them natively, game over.
What is my argument again?
Yep, the band is definitely called Sleep. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_(band)

As other have pointed out, there's also a near-identical release called Dopesmoker, but it's all one long track so a bit less convenient.

They also have a 2018 release called The Sciences which is pretty damn good too.

Some other albums:

- Antônio Carlos Jobim - Wave (bossa nova is one of the most underrated genres I reckon)
- Jon Hopkins - Singularity (ambient electronic)
- Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (doom metal. similar to Sleep)
- Sigur Rós - Ágætis_byrjun (there are vocals but they're Icelandic)
- Chopin - The Complete Nocturnes (I've got a double-album of Roger Woodward playing them)
- J Dilla - Donuts (instrumental hip hop)

I've tried to cover as many genres as possible to pique people's interest in branching out (you'd be surprised by what you enjoy when you give it a chance). Happy to give even more recommendations - I'm a music nut haha.
The technique used by grooming gangs in the UK is as follows: get the child to do something the parents wouldn't approve of (smoke a cigarette, drink, do drugs, etc) and document it, use that documentation to blackmail the child into doing more. It becomes a spiral that the kid doesn't know how to escape from.

The way I hope to prevent that is to ensure that my daughter knows that, while I may disapprove of things like drinking, I'll always forgive her. I also make her clear on the line adults should not cross.

Besides that, I try to build her self esteem and street smarts as much as I can. In addition I have her question authority, myself included.
That is a possible interpretation, true. It reads to me as somebody trying to show a page full of green check marks to pretend that Wayland is totally ready to use and everybody should switch already. I suppose it might be intended as a list of things that are compatible, in which case yes it's quite useful.
I couldn’t get mine to type, or even suggest, the word after typing it manually multiple times.

Might be related to the EN-US keyboard having a big group of sequential letters on the top row: “ortio” are all up there, so there’s a very high amount of uncertainty? The swipe pattern doubles back on itself, makes it more ambiguous still.

I bet there are other words following that pattern which are ranked lowly until it shows up in your “actually typed” dictionary.
Yep, you're talking about the games I had in mind when I said some games are beginning to lay the groundwork. Notably, Bee Swarm Simulator was made by a grown-ass man who had (IIRC) mobile dev experience before going to Roblox. And within that genre of games he's been copied more recently by pretty exploitative stuff like Pet Simulator X. But that "simulator" / pet collection genre is one of the only spots on Roblox where you can find that kind of open-ended monetization and if you could see their internal stats, you'd see that they're mainly monetizing through quantity of players like everyone else.

It is worrying to think that kids might end up dropping thousands of dollars on a game, but I think if that does start happening, you're going to see it in the news instantly. Like I said, it is really idiotic of Roblox to even begin venturing down that path; they should be clamping down on that kind of monetization to stop it from growing, but so far they have not done anything except enforce basic loot box legal standards (must show odds).

This has been the most useful analogy for me so far.

"Why are we trying to fire Bob when he gets things done?"

"Bob cooks fast because he refuses to clean the dishes."
Definitely depends on where you live. I live on the coast in the south. Tons of people trailer boats. The 'smallest' truck that can tow (actually able to stop) my boat is a Tundra.

Then there's people who own homes in the suburbs. Could I make multiple trips with my car to pick up 2500 pounds of sod for a project I just finished? Sure, I could also pay a lot to have it delivered in a couple weeks. And there's the other things like throwing my surfboard in the back or other 'fun' gear. Then there's trips to the dump, because trash won't pick up certain things.

The reality is, having at least a single truck in the family is useful for anyone not living in a city.
Or, people need to accept that they aren’t entitled to live where costs are higher than they can afford and move to other communities.
The Fundierung problem of explainable machine learning
To quote Gian-Carlo Rota (Indiscrete Thoughts):

When reading a text he notes

"I have learned the content of the text by reading the text. But logical hygiene demands that we keep the terms "text" and "content of the text" separate and equal. The text may be an object. The content of the text is not an object in any ordinary sense. Nevertheless, the content is more "important" than the text."

"The distinctness of text and content is undeniable. It may be confirmed by eidetic variations. For example, I may learn the same content by reading another text."

"... the conclusion is inescapable: contents do not exist anywhere, yet it is contents and not brains or texts that matter."

In ML, the training set is "the text" whereas the weights represent "the content". Having trained a neural net, there doesn't appear to be any obvious way to "explain the content".

The problem is already on the social level, it's just that in Classical Consensus, trust is established explicitly. Whereas in Proof-Of-Stake, it's established implicitly by means of controlling monopoly money.

If the stakers disagree with each other, or if the users disagree about who ought to be stakers, then that's a social problem. That's really no different than the problem of notaries disagreeing with each other or with users disagreeing about who ought to be notaries.

The difference is that in PoW, Miners have to stop when it becomes unprofitable for them (due to economies/dis-economies of scale). PoW is decentralized so long as normal people have great economies at a small scale (They have free access to electricity, they are using hardware they already own anyways, they would pay for heating anyways). In PoS, Stakers just get more and more power.

Yes, first and foremost the right to bodily integrity, since rights are no good if you are dead. The two biggest killers of people in the US who are otherwise many many years from dying are guns and cars, and in both cases a large number of those dead had neither a gun nor a car in the moment. If the state is going to use its monopoly on anything, it should obviously be those two.
Ashli Babbitt wasn't prosecuted. She was shot during a riot. It is very unfortunate situation. Pretty much in any country forcing your way upon armed security in a top government building would lead to something like this. I specifically suggested to compare punishment for a mere participation in a protest, which is basically generally recognized as a human right while pushing yourself upon armed security guards isn't.

Except that the backend part of the app doesn't run in the browser, it runs in Node. So it's not shipping applications in containers, even if one views a web browser as a container.
Adults get scammed. Adults "should know". We cannot expect kids to be better at spotting social engineering than fully grown adults. At least adults have other tools at their disposal to deal with the consequences psychological, legal, etc.
That's nice, but none of this has anything to do with "vigilantism." The other guy only used that word because he thought it sounded scary. If either of you knew what it meant you would understand that government-sanctioned action, for example a lawsuit with standing provided by statute, is the complete opposite of vigilantism in its entire definition.
Primary infection path seems to require root access at the very least, breaking out of SELinux/AppArmor as well if the infection vector is passed through an exploit. This post doesn't seem to say where the infection is coming from, I'm guessing the people who analyzed it haven't found a propagation method yet.

Perhaps it's installed through infected packages? Sabotaged repositories? Privilege escalation by `alias`ing `sudo`?

I think the ideal case is having a web app in a self-hosting environment, but also having a robust API/client ecosystem.

For instance, I host TinyTinyRSS on my Sandstorm server, and if on a machine that isn't mine, I can just use the web interface to read for a bit. But I definitely have preferred client apps on both my phone and desktop OSes for devices which I use regularly.

> Unions often drive out workers at the benefit of those getting union jobs, lowering employment. For example, see [5] and similar papers.

This seems a bit misleading from the article you referenced:

“The researchers find that, for both men and women, more union involvement in wage setting significantly decreases the employment rate of young and older individuals relative to the prime-aged group (with no significant effects on the relative unemployment of these groups). In contrast, a larger role for unions has little impact on male-female employment rate differentials but raises female unemployment relative to male unemployment.”

Lower employment for the very young and very old is generally a good thing in places with a robust welfare state —- and certainly is overshadowed by the positives of unions, such as the lower rates of poverty, lower mortality and accident rates, and higher job satisfaction and overall wages as a percentage of productivity across many industries.

Farmers are a rounding error in the claim "the vast majority of trucks are used for work".

[EDIT] I think, assuming you're posting all this in good faith, it may be a result of expanding a local perspective to the entire country. Some parts of the country definitely do have way fewer non-work trucks driving around, as a proportion of total cars. One might conclude that this is the norm over enough of the country that "the vast majority" of trucks are work trucks. It very much is not.
The C in MICE usually stands for coercion. Conscience would fall under ideology.
You could also say it's insane to allow private ownership of vehicles. If we instead invested in public transit, emissions would be lower, transportation would be ubiquitous, and fatalities would drop immensely. So we should tax all cars, not just SUVs.
In that case, I beg your pardon. Although, I’m curious where the desire for a truck and a boat comes from.

I know when I bought my car it was the sense of freedom it granted me that appealed, and some vague sense that cars are what “real” adults own. Now I look at it as a tool for our collective self-annihilation.

I would sell it, but then someone else would presumably actually use it. So instead, it sits there in the drive.

Yeah, their product compares very favourably to competition in rural but I suspect the other reason is density.

It doesn't take many incipient criminals to ruin things for everyone. You'd do it to if you've ever had an employee steal or embezzle from you, and it's a lot more common than you might think.

Obviously, nothing can be done with nuclear power now to address that problem. Looking back, there is no reason to think that fossil fuel usage would have disappeared by now. Even the issue of climate change has had little impact. Nuclear is generally far more expensive.

Now if we had had made the fossil fuel industry pay the true cost of their waste products - greenhouse gases - then there might have been a market for nuclear.

> idealism

If you have a good argument, why disparage people who disagree? Why not address their concerns seriously?

The threat of nuclear waste is very real and serious. There are solutions, but these are serious issues that won't be addressed by disparaging other people.

> waste that sitting sealed and monitored, and is not hurting anyone.

You’ll see people in areas like that driving a beat up truck barely large enough to fit 2 people or a tiny scooter that’s hauling a half ton of cargo.

I could not think of a more obvious way of telling everyone that you are monolingual than implying that knowing another language is a burden. Children are not burdened by being multilingual.

It is true that social pressures kill off local languages, but it's usually not because parents don't want to teach their children their mother tongue, it's that people stop using the language to communicate because of the influence of the "prestige language". My parents (and all of the parents in the immigrant community I live in) went through great pains to teach their children their native language.

An SUV is also more deadly to every other class of driver on the road. Even sedan drivers are more likely to die in an accident involving an SUV than any other accident class. (It's a deadly brinksmanship. The safest people in an SUV wreck are the generally ones in the SUV and everyone else is at a disadvantage.)

But even that's not entirely true that people inside the SUV are safe because you can also look up the history of "rollover deaths". In an accident an SUV is a big immovable object, right until it isn't anymore and then it's a very heavy thing with a weird center of gravity. If an SUV tips over somehow in a collision, or worse rolls over itself more than once, that often has spelled death for the SUV's occupants. There's been more safety measures and center of gravity balancing and rollover cages added to SUVs since the height of rollover deaths in the 1990s, but the brinksmanship of "the safest option is to be inside the SUV" moving "everyone" to SUVs for their own skin, increases the likelihood of SUV versus SUV accidents and the return of rollover death statistics.
