The ACH system was based on older check (cheque) clearing systems. In those systems the bank in which the check was eventually deposited was basically pulling funds.

The US never had a Giro system. The main push based payments have generally been "wire transfers", which have significant cost, or ACH-based Direct Deposit, which is pretty much only used for payroll situations.

Even payment cards are fundamentally a pull based system.

Only Paypal, Venmo, CashApp, or other similar services have a push model, and those pretty much always wrap an under the hood ACH pull.
This business would run the risk of being cut off from the financial system.
I hate both sides. Rapid development loops should be just that, development. Bug fixes are fine because they tend to guarantee functional consistency and no UI/Ux changes (unless it's fixing one that was broken).

Today it's just the wild west of people basically having production not far sepeeate from development in terms of changes. UI/UX changes are the worst in this context. I opened Venmo the other day and I had to waste 5 minutes because someone decided they wanted to change the UI and I had auto updates applied (shame on me I suppose).

Do not change the interfaces with your users folks unless it's truly broken.
Yes, this quantity is the relative phase of the harmonics, although the human ear is generally considered to be insensitive to phase.
it's saying that high BMI as a cause of premature death is likely just a proxy for high fasting insulin and inflammation and is not _by itself_ life shortening.

So goes the argument. I don't think the author has really proven it, it was pretty theoretical. It's not clear the tiny minority won't just weaponize the powers that be to silence those that disagree with them even further.

That said, I don't think free speech is a utilitarian principle (greatest good for the greatest number) but rather a deontological one, that it is wrong to muzzle an individuals right to express themselves as a first order effect. The author's argument describes second or nth order effects.
Are you sure you actually read the article (this isn't /. don't you know):

"I suspect this is why from China and Japan to here in the UK, slow and elaborate practises have formed over centuries around the proper way to drink tea."

The author is a Brit, ie one of us.

We own a built in coffee machine that does bean to cup - I insist on an Italian standard type blend (but wifey is starting to chafe about that - we'll see, ie I'll change it eventually) - 75% Arabica and 25% Robusta.

We also drink an absolute shit load of black tea. Nothing fancy because all black tea is roughly the same. I use to work in a tea plant in Hampshire (UK) many years ago so I have a fair idea about the stuff. We generally go for Yorkshire for no particular reason.

Tea is superb on a hot day and we have had quite a few recently. I have no idea why it works so well but when it is 40C+ outside then why not reach for a 90C cup of tea?

Setting aside the debate of whether complete ideological overhaul is needed in general, we can still conclude that some improvement is possible even under the current capitalistic system.

I agree with you on principle: and it should happen across the board and not just reserved for science fair submissions, but the press seems incapable of that, for reasons good and bad.

Are you saying all Anglophones have the same values and norms? That's an odd take.

I mean, foreign language learning is great and I'd definitely encourage people to do it, but if your true goal is just to break out of whatever echo chamber of ideas you find yourself in, there's easier ways to go about it.
Dumb policies mainly. Most of Europe deliberately refused long-term contracts for gas which would have locked in a lower price of gas and thought they'd get a better deal by throwing themselves on the mercies of the spot-price gas market.

Unfortunately for them, the price of gas on the spot-market has risen many-fold because of sanctions on Russia which reduced the amount of available gas, and caused 'Ye Olde Supply and Demand' price increases.

Hungary, on the other hand, continued buying gas from Russia on a long-term contract and they continue laughing all the way to the bank while their other European neighbors are screaming at the high prices of spot-market gas.

Of course, those countries screaming for gas could have benefited by opening up the NordStream 2 pipeline at any time previously. But they'd better open it up soon, because Russia has said that if NordStream 2 is not opened up soon, the gas currently allocated for it will be allocated elsewhere. Meaning there wouldn't be any gas in the pipeline any more, even if the Germans suddenly decided to finally open it up.

Dumb is as dumb deserves to be.

I don't know, I hear all the time about people buying things on amazon or something and when it arrives it's just crap and you can't get a refund. At the end of the day, getting a refund is not about the payment method, it is about your business relationship with the vendor.

Cryptocurrency transactions require high trust in the sense that they cannot be refunded, but they also require low trust in the sense that the vendor cannot possibly steal any more money than what you sign them.
DNS adblocking is not at all the same as browser level adblocking. Also setting your dns provider to adguard.com entrusts them to see what domains you visit, which you may or may not care about.
I think there's going to be plenty of work in stacking multiple AI prompts or manual retouching to fix rough spots. It automates a task, not a job. Some people won't use it at all and other people will use it only for reference - in the end doing everything by hand, as usual, because they have more control and because AI art has a specific smell to it and people will associate it with cheap.

But it's not just for art and design, it has uses in brainstorming, planning, and just to visualise your ideas and extend your imagination. It's a bicycle for the mind. People will eat it up, old copyrights and jobs be damned. It's a cyborg moment when we extend our minds with AI and it feels great. By the end of the decade we'll have mature models for all modalities. We'll extend our minds in many ways, and applications will be countless. There's going to be a lot of work created around it.
> No. They would just go elsewhere to commit offenses.

This is just denying the offenders all agency. If they literally cannot help but commit crime, the response from the society should then be to lock them up, as unfit to live in the society.

I do not in fact believe that to be the case. Criminals have agency, and, as can be readily observed, respond to incentives too.

You're the one claiming "totalitarian". But when someone brings in real totalitarian, you say "hey, that's too extreme". Um, yeah, that's the point. Your claim of "totalitarian" is a bogus over-the-top rhetorical flourish, and you have now pretty much agreed that it is.
Yup, exactly. It's a good point that for self-supervised workloads, the training set can become arbitrarily large. For a lot of other workloads in the vision space, most data needs to be labeled to be able to used for training.
> it's ultimately the class maintainer's responsibility

It's ultimately the responsibility of the programmer who's building a tool/product/etc, because everything is ultimately their responsibility.

As programmers we ~always have the nuclear option available to us of forking the code and implementing all the necessary accessors ourselves, but sometimes that's really just a bunch of pointless busywork and there's no reason we should have to put up with it in those cases.

This can be a contentious subject because there's a lot of nuance and the right answer is often context-dependent. But I personally think that the Java style of "we must absolutely protect the library user from themselves and childproof everything" is waaaay too far in the wrong direction.

I would much rather that a language have mechanisms to clearly communicate "don't touch this unless you have a good reason, but if you need to here's how" rather than saying in effect "you, the person using this library, are dumb and need to be prevented from messing with the library maintainer's perfect vision".

And so I think the "required acknowledgement" thing has the glimmer of a really neat innovation in it (although if I were to copy the idea for a language of my own I would probably make it obligatory, such that every struct allows breakglass access to private fields with a default acknowledgement, and all the library author can do is change the acknowledgement text).
> However, both elevated CRP and higher fasting insulin are correlated with obesity, so controlling for these variables seems misleading.

Well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicollinearity

Summary: highly correlated variables don't fundamentally mess up the inference (coefficient estimates are still unbiased), the estimation becomes numerically unstable, however, and individual coefficients might be messed up because of that. This is reflected in the standard errors, so you're more likely to miss effects (type II error).

There is a good chance that a determined and skilled haxxor will run rings around both of us

I agree. I do silly things like this to get rid of the bot noise and to keep snooping bots like Discord/Steam off my files. I doubt any corporation would mimic my practices. Most of my hobby sites these days are static pre-compressed content and block anything other than HEAD and GET requests that match a regex patterns.

All of that said I think that you are right. A targeted attack of my server providers could net console access and I would be very surprised if that console access didn't already provide unfettered access to assorted agencies in the name of lawful intercept. At least that was the case when I was in the wireless industry.
Which canal are you on at the moment?

Using the primary cohort, time to mortality was regressed on all three exposures of interest: BMI, fasting insulin, and CRP. A number of parametrizations of these three exposures were explored. The models with the best fit used linear and quadratic terms for BMI, a linear term for fasting insulin, and the natural logarithm of CRP.

and we chose not to justify or explain those parameterizations in any way, because what we probably actually did was diddle SAS until the model did what it was supposed to.

yawn.
this worked fine for me, and running side by side with Intel CPU + nVidia 2070 it actually does not take much longer (and as a sibling said, seems to be working at full precision). It is one of the first things I've done that has properly made my M1 Max's fan spin up hard though!

Right now China is filled with misled and brainwashed ppl that believe in everything said and done by the government.…

> If a private solution can do a better job than public transportation

I just explained why it didn't - the price point was completely based on private subsidy. I live in an urban area of a major city, and there are times and areas where it takes 30+ minutes to get a ride, including a few months ago when I was maybe 10 minutes from the international airport at a reasonable hour (~10PM). Busses and trains have schedules which are fairly reliable. They run late sometimes, but there is a pretty reasonable guarantee that they will show up. They won't cancel after 10 minutes, the muni is ADA complaint, and will only cost you $2.50 to get within a few blocks of your destination. Yes, buses have a coverage problem in the suburbs, but my suburban relatives (who love ridesharing) have also been complaining about the price and availability the last 12 months, so it doesn't seem like Uber/Lyft are able to fill the last-mile niche reliably at this point anyways.

Perhaps we are misinformed on purpose about what is happening on China, that’s my point. You can choose to believe Radio Free Asia and Adrian Zenz, or you can choose to believe the PRC when it says it attempts to fight terrorism with education and jobs.

Ethnic minorities are actually over represented in both the CPC and the national congress. This shouldn’t be surprising considering they were often leaders during the revolution and civil war.
Your second link validates my statement. You can absolutely trademark generic terms. There are limitations though.

Try to create a smartphone or computer company called Apple and see what'll happen. You can't trademark the word Apple for your apple farm because other apple farms must be allowed to use that word to describe their product.

That other companies have Apple in their name is not surprising. A trademark is not universal. There are so called classes and when you apply for a trademark you have to specify which classes you want covered.

Source: I went through this process and applied and was granted a trademark for my company. Other companies hold a trademark on the same term but in different classes.
>>> The need to appease the public immediately seems to have done just as much pain to EU as Russia.

Chimps, as far as I'm aware, don't talk about sex. I suppose my naive view is that the more society is prepared to talk about their behaviours, the less likely it is we'll indulge in the worse aspects of such behaviour. Hence taboos over discussing particular subjects have become ingrained despite being most likely counterproductive, at least for society at large, even if they serve the interests of some.

> Copyrighted works can be copied without the authors consent if it falls under fair use

"Fair Use" is a uniquely US concept and does not exist in copyright law elsewhere, so for any kind of global release this isn't correct.

> In particular, if we're having a conversation about copyright but we don't talk about scraping for search (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) or other aggregation services, then I'd ask why Google is allowed to aggregate information but everyone else isn't.

Author's Guild v Google is probably the closest we have to a tried case, but Fair Use rulings are both limited to the US and specific in their nature, so I'd be wary of generalising one domain (text) to another (images). Eg. Fair use takes into account harm, and the potential harm to human artists is nontrivial.

> Also, to not talk about the over reach of copyright, the nearly 100+ year copyright terms and the level of automation to demonitize and bully smaller artists using copyrighted work fairly is negligent.

I agree with you - Copyright needs an overhaul and it's offensively lopsided in favor of the powerful as it currently stands.
