Yeah, I agree that it’s tangential to the main point. Still, it makes me question the author’s credibility on the subject. If you’re claiming something won’t exist, and you’re overlooking a large amount of technology that does exist, I can’t help but think that you might have overlooked something in your assessment of the state of the art.
GDPR applies to any European citizen's data, anywhere in the world. It will apply to a US company too. The fines will be on worldwide revenue.

This is probably a bad example in this context though as the people being talked about on Kiwiforums are not "customers" of the Kiwifarms "company" so GDPR probably doesn't cover them.

GDPR doesn't mean you have to scrub someone from your database, it means you can only keep information if you have a legitimate need. I'm sure credit bureaus can come up with enough bureaucracy that there is a legitimate need.
Other than computer chips and advances in microscale machining (not yet nanoscale, but it takes time to scale down the manufacturing capabilities)?

If we count microscale advances then projector displays, fully optical dynamic switching in MPLS networks, all sorts of sensors including accelerometers in phones etc.
Not an expert but it could be that those regions have more extreme wet/dry cycles, whereas the hottest parts of North America are deserts without much vegetation.
I remember slapping the word "nano" in to the title of a research grant that had previously been rejected after much back and forth.

You should read up on the KiwiFarms DDoS funded by Twitter users after Near. This also includes an attempt to take down their TOR service.
It is still there on Visual Studio, and with a more certain future than WinUI will ever get.

The irony that the Web needs to keep copying native development experience, and it is still miles behind of what VB and Delphi were offering 30 years ago, unless one is paying for stuff like OutSystems or PowerApps.
+1 Insightful.

Also, in the spirit of helpfulness, "passed over" is the wrong turn of phrase as used here; it implies "declined or rejected" (as in, being passed over for a promotion at work). I think "surpassed" or "leap-frogged" are closer to your intended meaning. HTH! :)
Cars from the 2000s had all of this and were much cheaper than cars now.
Yeah but the human engineering you are looking for is mostly called biotech.

I think the argument is that there just isn’t a novel field here. Drexler tried to carve one out where none exists to make himself and his followers look like they invented something when they did not.

Nanotech is really just gloss on biology, materials engineering, or chemistry, all of which are well aware of quantum scale effects and use them.
You can opt out, but then you do not get to use others' iPhones to find your AirTags. If you want to benefit from the network, you have to contribute, but you don't have to participate at all.
I don't disagree with that it can be dangerous, I disagree on the level of danger.

Someone died - yes. Also, 1,000 children are injured in California alone from pencils yearly. You are more likely yourself to die from a pencil than a shark. We're not banning pencils despite children having died from them. I need not go into cars, or how knitting yarn is a strangulation tool, or hammers a murder weapon. Not to mention the incredibly deadly thing called stairs (12,000 deaths yearly, over 1 million ER injuries yearly).

We as a society have decided hammers, pencils, stairs, and so forth are safe enough, even for children. Same for AirTags.
You're saying that nuclear is too slow, because it takes 10 years, so we should use unproven technology at unprecedented scale instead and hope that it works?
I got it the other way around, oops.
How on earth do you read this article, and then come to the conclusion that the answer is to disable anti-stalking mechanisms (which apple, due to using the UWB and their own protocol has vastly better ones) then your own product?

This is the necessary trade off. Long time user of Tiles, and then later airtags - I travel a lot, and I have a tendency to leave my bags, so for me they save me a lot of money. My dog wears one. My kids and wife are bugged constantly with alerts that a unknown device is with them (with my name on it), but that's acceptable because somewhere a jealous ex-partner is using this for ill, or someone is trying to isolate someone for a crime.

This is the perception problem. Apple introducing anti-stalker controls with the Airtag's didn't introduce a new problem - it revealed one that was already there.
Heroku’s Free Tier Legacy
Except you will soon get an alert that an unknown AirTag is following you.[0]

Even if you don't have an iPhone, as soon as someone who does have one steps into your car and you drive them somewhere, they will get the alert and you will find out.

Because it leads to the problem described in the article, where an application from just 2-3 years ago won't work on your up to date Linux distro, unless you (or your distro maintainer) have access its source code. However many Linux users seem to consider this a feature.
As opposed to what? Opt out?
At the mmWave power levels used in mobile handsets, the RF power is insufficient to penetrate the human body to any significant degree. Even airport mmWave security scanners can barely scan through clothing - and they operate at much higher power.
Noir: my favorite genre. Here's some color noirs I don't think have lost anything for not being in B&W: Leave Her to Heaven; Black Widow (1954); Blood Simple; Le Samouraï; Chinatown; Body Heat; Femme Fatale (2002); The Last Seduction; Thief (1981); Basic Instinct; After Dark, My Sweet.

My favorite noir however is indeed B&W: Detour (1945). To me it is the quintessential noir film.
It's worth noting that the heir apparent PM is a supporter of the Online Safety Act, which hands over regulation of any Internet service 'accessible to anyone in the UK' allowing any two users to communicate to the UK's broadcasting regulatory board[0], which demands reports about what kind of users the service, their ages, and a plethora of other information which seems to create regulatory capture: in addition to mandatory age verification. It does this by creating a gray area of speech defined as 'harmful content' which is not in itself illegal but its presence is sufficient to levy fines and ban the Internet service from everyone's in the UK if the regulations are not complied with.

And so the knowledge of a poor development experience for Common Lisp keeps spreading.
Not even exactly the scripting language, more so that they used PLT Scheme (now Racket) for writing tooling, including compiler into various scheme variants they used as internal scripting in games.
Red on yellow with black borders is not a great choice of colors. Remember, your goal is to visualize.
In my experience, the web is perfect when it comes to presenting an interface to a service.

If the service or experience exists entirely within your application, a mobile or native app seems to be the only option.
Personally, I think the new Tory leader should have been picked directly by the whole party, i.e. with all 8 original hopefuls on the ballot. Party members who vote then put down their preferred 1st, 2nd, and third options, which are then used to prevent a tie breaker or lack of majority vote.

What we had, was still an elite few whittling down the options to a preferred two, with zero input from the party as a whole.
Not much.. that's like one incandescent light bulb.
Actually, Android is very good at maintaining backwards compatibility. You can, in fact, install a 10-year-old apk on your shiny new Galaxy S22 and it will run. The one problem you'll run into is that apps of that era expect a hardware "menu" button, which modern versions of SystemUI no longer provide.
As the replication crisis grows, or we're simply becoming more aware of it, I do wonder how much of this is due to poorly aligned incentives causing researchers to error on the side of what will get the most attention versus researchers in general simply being sloppy. Much discussion has been had on what to do if it is the former but if it is the latter, what needs to change in the education process so studies are better designed to end up with errors so frequently?
Hydrogen vehicles are essentially an oil company scam. They are fraud, at a physics level, vs EVs. They fall apart the second you take a serious, first-principles look at how they work.

Apple’s servers can’t see where the tag is. The location data is encrypted so only the owner of the tag can read it on their phone.
This article should ease fears about a convention:

https://reason.com/volokh/2022/09/05/my-skepticism-about-fea...

Whatever is passed in such a convention must be ratified by legislatures (or state conventions) in 3/4 of all states (38 states). It is very unlikely that particularly conservative or liberal proposals could meet that bar.
> They start beeping once moved if they've been separated from their owner for a time (8-24 hours)

An AirTag speaker can be removed in a matter of minutes. There are a bunch of instructional videos on YouTube.
> But the fight has to be fought at the margins, against the most extreme examples first.

This is getting off topic but I disagree with this. Trump's comments and right wing news incited an insurrection. I think "fighting at the margins" is probably moot and really we should be tackling this where it broadly affects everyone. Isn't that how most policy and social phenomena are dealt with?
Is there any independent analysis of this end to end encryption of location data, that confirms that Apple can not really access the location even if they want to?
Exactly! That's why I've never set up Matterbridge, and I think Slidge sounds great!
More that, imho, revealed a problem. People were stalking with Tile's before Apple came around. you just had no way to know that unless you happened to notice that your device happened to make a consistent Bluetooth connection (and you were setup with Tile in the first place).
No, it isn't "just democracy". Whether atheists should even be allowed to hold public office is a question that turns up regularly in public discourse. Now substitute "atheist" with "people of color", "jewish", "muslim", "gay" or "left handed" and see if you still think it is okay.
Changes in version 3.39.0 (2022-06-25):

Add (long overdue) support for RIGHT and FULL OUTER JOIN.

Add new binary comparison operators IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and IS DISTINCT FROM that are equivalent to IS and IS NOT, respective, for compatibility with PostgreSQL and SQL standards.

Add a new return code (value "3") from the sqlite3_vtab_distinct() interface that indicates a query that has both DISTINCT and ORDER BY clauses.

Added the sqlite3_db_name() interface.

The unix os interface resolves all symbolic links in database filenames to create a canonical name for the database before the file is opened.

If the SQLITE_OPEN_NOFOLLOW flag is used with sqlite3_open_v2() or similar, the open will fail if any element of the path is a symbolic link.

Defer materializing views until the materialization is actually needed, thus avoiding unnecessary work if the materialization turns out to never be used.

The HAVING clause of a SELECT statement is now allowed on any aggregate query, even queries that do not have a GROUP BY clause.

Many microoptimizations collectively reduce CPU cycles by about 2.3%.

I don't know enough about the other people to comment.

I do know the characterization of Darwin is distressingly wrong. I don't know how anyone with a reasonable understanding of Darwin's life can characterize him as a slacker.

Even watching a documentary like https://youtu.be/MCOc7Xqj-kQ?list=PL7UadKoCkgW219C8ZH-Md9X_5... ("Evolution - Part 1 of 7 - Darwin's Dangerous Idea (PBS Documentary)") shows Darwin worked hard. (Link to his brother asking "why must you work so hard at your horrid little mollusks", following a scene where Darwin starts coughing during a walk, and before the scene where he undergoes cold water treatment, prescribed by his doctor to help treat the consequences of "excessive mental exertion."

Again, walks and hiking in the mountains were part of how Darwin worked.

I'll cherry-pick the other end of the spectrum - Paul Erdős. "He devoted his waking hours to mathematics, even into his later years" (quoting Wikipedia) and used Ritalin and Benzedrine because not using them impacted his mathematical performance. He would be up at all hours of the day and night.

Or Von Neumann, "The fact he was constantly working on all kinds of intellectual, academic and advisery affairs probably meant he could not be a very attentive husband. ... His work habits were rather methodical, after waking up and having breakfast at the Nassau Club, he would visit the Institute for Advanced Study and begin work for the day. He would continue working for the entirety of the day, including after going home at five. Even if he was entertaining guests or hosting a party he could still spend some time in his work room working away, still following the conversation in the other room where guests were. Although he went to bed at a reasonable time he would awaken late in the night, two or three in the morning by which time his brain had thought through problems he had in the previous day and begin working again and writing things down." (Again, quoting Wikipedia.)

Or cherry-picking an example of getting a Nobel Prize without "having a lifestyle that enables consistent productivity" - Kary Mullis.

Don't base your understanding on cherry-picking, because you can get almost any conclusion you want that way.

I’ve used all of these semi-extensively (slightly less so LW). The environments you get with FL and LW are useful if you aren’t an experienced Emacs user, and each of the pro ones comes with a lot of useful support (and FL’s amazing but expensive gdb), but these days, if all you want to do is get programming done, and don’t need, or don’t want to pay for a highly supported world-class engineering platform, you can do pretty much everything you want at a lot less cost and weight with sbcl, emacs, amd some calling to python. Libraries. If some multi-millionaire wanted to do the world a solid, they’d buy and open source (and pay for continuing support) for FL.
If Charger is a name too mundane for the digital world, perhaps Super Charger would up the game a little bit ? Oh wait…
As a user of tile, I never ran into a problem with not knowing (after 20-30 minutes) where the device was. Simply that it took a while for someone with the tile app installed to randomly wander into range.

I'm so glad this monstrosity is not cleared for European roads.
The USA uses metric all over the place. Everybody knows how big 2L is. Syringes are all marked in mL or cc. Socket wrenches come with 1/2, 9/16, 5/8 etc. but also 9, 10, 11. Athletes no longer run 100-yard dash. The "400" is 400m. Cars have 1.8L engines. People wear size 30 footwear, but also size 7.

Yes, the USA uses inches and pounds and gallons. They also use m, g, and L. And picas and fingers and miles and decibles and watts and joules. Mostly they don't know or care. If they do know and care, they are usually capable of using whichever unit gets the job done.
As a user I absolutely prefer a quickly accessible "turn off bluetooth until X" button to a "turn off bluetooth forever" button. Same with the WiFi.
I agree with this. I think the aging-off process on the 4chan boards has probably protected it from a lot of heat. The heinous stuff will be gone and forgotten in a few days but any comments on Kiwifarms remain forever.
Is there any way that you could filter our bad faith stealing requests by stalkers?

Eg, put tracker named backbag on victim, reguest full tracking on bagpack.

I cant see how you could remotely filter for that?
I agree that the standard is too loose.
Most Republicans I know want our current government drastically slimmed down until it more closely resembles that outlined by the Constitution we already have. I know of none who think a new convention is a good idea.

Of course the media tells us most Republicans are racist misogynists slavering for a new empire led by an anointed God King. They seem to have a distorted view, in other words; so its hardly surprising that they're inaccurate here, either.

Hmm, maybe you could create something usable by using transactional mails providers (e.g. mailgun) that supports webhooks. When you receive an email, it'll get forwarded into your endpoint via http webhook. Your endpoint could be hosted in some serverless services.

How do I do it? By not giving out any personal information. It really is that simple.
The scenario you paint could easily describe most of human history and even describes some places in the world today.

That you are here to write this suggests that a long chain of people found something worth living for even in such environments.
Very cool! Visualizations of data are very important for helping people understand what's significant.

Years ago I worked on a (now defunct) site for a local NPR station in SoCal that displayed information on fires going on in California, and I incorporated geometry from satellites (MODIS and I think something called VIIRS) to implement a fire spread animation. The user could press a play button and see how the fire spread over time.

In retrospect, that feature is kind of like watching car crashes on replay, but I was and am nevertheless proud to have worked on something like that.

The site is no longer working, but I saved a video of it:

https://youtu.be/HMzXNWiIC8k

EDIT: There were much more interesting spread animations than that but this video is all I have

> We really need cost-benefits of adverse effects v. COVID outcomes stratified by ages, and it takes more than one study to build the picture.

Also when taking this into account, one must take note that many who have had the vaccine still end up getting COVID at some point, so the additional adverse effects that COVID brings may add onto any risks the vaccine brought.
On a sidenote, here's a controversial opinion - electrically-powered analog clocks are silly and we should discontinue making them.
>Funny that it's coming from the same Toyota that puts CVTs with no discrete gear steps in their gas cars and doesn't try to hide it...

CVT is, theoretically, infinitely superior to a traditional geared automatic transmission. They got a bad wrap at first (just like traditional automatics) when they were introduced, but the tech has matured and they are extremely reliable now.
As opposed to not linking "find my phone" to "find AirTags".
I like the idea, but I'd rather an ICE conversion with a real drivetrain and transmission and an EV motor. I'll build it myself if no manufacturers will.
The obvious first thought is that any implementation for tracking should be open source and be backed by a publicly available standard.
“We have dried up the Colorado, and fairness now requires us to begin draining the Mississippi. This is our God-given right and responsibility.”

Good grief. What a bloated sense of entitlement. The hubris of the past 200 years is catching up to us and these people think the answer is “double down on the same strategies that caused this crisis in the first place.”
Do you agree that Daily Stormer should not have been banned? They were created to opine about white ethno-nationalism, etc. and not to target or doxx or harass specific people. Is your line moving now?
I guess it depends what kind of code you are writing. I've written all of the above w/o too much trouble, but yes, those are the harder parts. However, most of my code is just basic logic, so has very little interaction with that stuff (with exception of async, which I use every day). My C++ is more rusty (pun not intended), but I'm sure there are powerful features that you might use occasionally, but generally don't use much. My point is that day to day coding in Rust is very easy and pleasant, and every once in a while needing an advanced feature that you have to lookup doesn't necessarily make the common case challenging. Like any language, it is hard to tell all this without writing a large project in it.
Yes.

Apple didn’t really make them mainstream. In fact Apple were really late to the game themselves.

To elaborate on the NN example:

The perceptron was developed in 1940s and only became useful in the 2000-2010 range. So 60-70 years of development time.

Agreed. But at this point, only one person has breached policy and it's a forgetfulness/oversight kind of breach.
