Negative examples might be easy to think of since they get tons of word of mouth and press coverage. Many of the negative examples (E.G. of 'native americans') you think of involve breaking up a functional community and relocating it against it's will en-mass.

Positive examples get much less coverage. Such as refugees that are spread out and integrated with host families and communities. Lives can be improved, and oversight and improvements might be had with the consultation or creation of experts in the subject.
Why is surprising that those organizations were duped though? Are people laboring under the assumption that reporters are smarter than everyone else? Because that’s definitely a mistake.
I wish companies lying to users (in terms of service), shareholders, public announcements, employee announcements were all illegal and criminally prosecuted.
I just fired up Nano on Ubuntu 18 installation.

When I typed Ctrl-S, I was prompted for a file name. Nano saved the buffer into that file. I then made edits and used Ctrl-S again; it saved again without prompting. Furthermore, if nano is invoked with a filename argument, then Ctrl-S doesn't prompt.

Ctrl-H is indistinguishable from ASCII backspace; if it does anything other than erase the character to the left of the cursor (possibly after climbing to the previous line, if the cursor is at the start of a line), it is objectively, positively wrong.

You can distinguish Ctrl-H from backspace in a GUI system where you get detailed keyboard events. Nano has to work in a terminal.
So they actually created an app which intentionally collects images of women in their underwear? That sounds like a company-ending ticking time bomb to me: any data leak or hack or vulnerability at all, and you will forever lose all trust.

Their selling point is that you can get rid of the "measuring tape and bra quizzes", but the demonstration video clearly shows that you still have to answer quite a few questions for the thing to work properly. Not to mention that the measurements it gives cannot possibly be accurate if they instruct you to take them while wearing a bra, and the poses shown seem to be more applicable to measuring generic things like your waistline than your bra size.

Honestly, it sounds to me like they were too busy figuring out whether they could to stop and think a minute whether they should.
yes - I understand that could be it.

But, I have come to think it is the other way. That the historical/scientific research is provided to steer the desired trends in the right way.
Ok, I was imagining some food-induced inflammation since that was the context. Is there some healthy inflammation that comes from food vs the body’s natural immune response?
My reaction to the IBM papers is "Information Age Taylorism"
ML-Workspace
Yeah, I get that’s the idea… I’ve just never seen it work, and any context for me has turned into a “what is docker actually doing for me in this context?” When I worked with specialized hardware / OS dependent things, we needed to bring up full VMs with our config. When I worked in shops with lots of microservices, it was better to actually run against the current integration environment rather than try to bring them all up locally. For so many apps, package management is the important part in terms of consistency from one machine to the next. So - I get what other people tell me about docker, I’ve just never been able to make sense of it as useful in my dev environments and teams. In fact, the one team I saw that really committed to it hard, it was a cluster (and maybe that’s why I have a trauma response toward it).
Probably Pre-Ventricular Contraction. And I guess Pre-Atrial Contraction.
And so your reply is ad hominem attacks?
> You're advocating for needlessly restricting user choice

Nope, I'm advocating for letting the app developers do what they want. Enforcing apps to honor the system-wide defaults (not even talking about how to actually enforce it) would just break emacs and vim, for instance.

> How is this not trivially solved [...]

Well first you need to find a way to integrate that toggle in your UI without people complaining too much. Then you need to test that it works on your platform (I see a lot of room for errors, e.g. if the system default is not set, or set to something weird, or conflicting with another app), and then you need to make it work on other platforms (which most certainly won't provide a compatible API). Sounds easy, in practice nobody would want to pay for the work required to do it.

That's also the reason why we don't get well integrated Desktop apps, and instead get ElectronJS apps that ship with a full browser: it's cheaper for the devs to ship a website with a browser and pretend that it is a Desktop app than to actually make a Desktop app.
>"They're yours..."

Yes and no. There's an important distinction between _having_ something and _owning_ something. You can have possession of figures carved from contraband elephant ivory. But if anyone who was inclined to care about such things decided to take action, a court could compel you to destroy it. Same thing with any illegal item.

But these are all "ifs and buts." Hence why it's a matter of principle and not practice. At the end of the day, most people are fine with "buying" a book that they don't own as evidenced by the sales.
I have never regretted a build decision. I have often regretted a buy decision.

Software that I (or the team) built just works. And is a perfect fit for our needs. External software usually isn’t a perfect fit. And bug fixes can take anything from months to infinity to get resolved.

An example was a commercial game engine we used for a PC/Console game. It was buggy and slow. We sent the developers code fixes and speed improvements. They ignored it. We ended up ripping out their engine and replacing it with our own.
I vaguely recall thinking that B&N was doing better a few years before the pandemic, in the sense that despite their financials, it was feeling more appealing to shop there than it had been in like ... 2012?... and was tending to have more people in it. Maybe I'm misremembering the timeline? But I'm pretty sure it was pre-pandemic.

Regardless, can't agree more that a CEO whose interest is in something besides money-grabbing at the expense of the health of the business is actually how you make a store successful. Somewhat more cynical about the long-term health because it seems like once stores become appealing, they'll cash in on that by going back to money-grabbing, but we'll see...
> Regular crooks don't get the same treatment of walking out of jail before actually paying posting the bond money. Usually with a 10% fee for the bondsman

Bail bondsmen basically do not exist in federal courts.

But sure, regular crooks generally don't end up in federal courts. I think that's probably where this confusion stems from.
Interesting username. Are you one of the people behind the linked website? If so, thank you for the work you do!
Graeber and Wengrow have a different interpretation than "post-apocalyptic". More like they underwent a successful revolution to overthrow their hierarchical society and create radically egalitarian societies instead

The early European colonists came across these groups and that's pretty much the origin of the myth that "the natural state of man" is this radically egalitarian society. In reality it's an explicitly political culture that came about as a reaction to their lived experiences with "civilization"

Rather than "post-apocalyptic" they can also be seen as "post-civilization"
I have reread my top 200 books I like more than once.
I owned well into the 2000s of books. Most bought second hand.
Most gone, but not the 200.
As life ebbed and flowed books got boxed and unboxed.
Glee ensues when a favorite shows up again.

I have a relatively good memory so I remember many details of a story.
In spite of that, the flow of rereading a good story is a pleasure.

We listen to music over and over why not reread.
In fact, good luck finding a Rust job these days that doesn't involve crypto.
It was a response to 'nerdy breakdown of the various approaches' and it fits the bill.
Oh, but it can still be used for breaking the law if you keep a low profile. Tracing requires enough resources that it's only done on suspicion of serious crime. I can order small personal quantities of shrooms from Canada, although they're illegal where I live, by using bitcoin, and I have no fear of being traced.

How grief made me a person
Oh yea. I mean, I was on tech forums chatting as a 13 year old and looking back, I _know_ so many people realized my questions were just ridiculous or dumb lol.

I'm just wondering if that must be where the this is coming from.

As an example, I wouldn't log onto a random geology forum (a topic I don't understand well) and start pasting in ChatGPT responses. Whether that's because I'm an adult or because I understand the limits of ChatGPT (maybe both?) is debatable I guess... but my "napkin theory" is that younger people are behind a lot of the ChatGPT "spam."

I seriously doubt that humanity is anywhere close to having invented AGI. However, modern AI is way better than regex at pattern recognition, so that’s cool.
Yup, r/abrathatfits and the associated calculator are by far the best online resource when it comes to sizing and fitting bras. And as you noticed, they are very inclusive too.
Children are the future. We must protect and elevate them above all. Locking them up did much more harm than good, and it also strained their parents immensely, the people who are in their prime earning years.

Old people could have been even more protected while the rest of us continued on living. The emergency money could have been spent on providing more services to the elderly. Instead they were locked up with little help. In 2021 40% of Covid deaths were in nursing homes.

And finally, if you’re past the life expectancy and you know you may only have a few years left, would you spend it locked away isolated from your friends and family, or would you try to make the most of it, knowing that whatever happens you’ve made it further than most already? Many elderly were interviewed and were upset by the lockdowns for this reason. The average covid victim was in this very situation. Why did we take away their agency in their final years?
not only that, Object pascal has very nice way of separating code and avoiding globals, and variables were constrained within certain scope. Each module is compiled independently and no macro hell.

if you were to pass reference around, then compiler would warn about potentially dangerous Free.

I don't remember ever seeing Pascal code where you received raw pointer and then directly casted it to your object type for example. Pascal has very powerful and expressive type system
Ah so what’s happening here is that our first video was entirely drone shots of the robot operating autonomously, and this video was our second video with a focus on the technical system design. Overall we’ve released three videos and two show it in autonomous operation. Just not this one!

The new video that has more complex production is an 18 minute narrative video sharing the full details of our intent as well as a story which has been important for me to share for a long time. To keep it engaging I decided to shoot in a few different locations at the farm and change camera angles, but I learned that it’s just too much to attempt to do that. So future videos will be me standing in one spot reading an update while I play b-roll of whatever we’re discussing on screen.

Weeding tools are going to be more complex and rely on computer vision, which requires building a data set and a lot of complex mechanics, so we want to release the system to early adopters before that. Plenty of people are interested in this, and anyone who wants to wait till we have tools is welcome to do so. It’s just going to take a while because we’re not venture funded, we’re a little open source research project.

Here’s a video of autonomous operation. Also in my first link in the comment you’re replying to there’s a video showing complex multi-path following capability. Cheers!

There's not going to be a panacea. This advice could very well work for those without children or similar obligations. Other advice might work for you, but that's not a reason to get upset.
Seems like that fancy software should be able to manage the pull down and prevent the compressor getting so hot.

I guess people would get mad if their refrigerator took longer to cool off.

My general philosophy is that if a human can do it then a robot the size of a car can do it. The nice thing about autonomy is that if it is slow or requires frequent drop off trips this doesn’t really affect anyone. As far as forcing manufacturers to open source stuff, I guess I’m all for it but intention matters here. Our system is designed specifically so anyone can fabricate them. It’s designed to be easy to make in a small shop. You’re not going to get that same intention by forcing someone to open source their design.
The issue with this is you are still running vendor controlled spyware on a device you own to access the DRM'd books. They have a direct interest to spy on you to ensure the terms of service are not being violated. It is better to simply download already DRM-free books from libgen or something, or if that's not an option use the library to borrow physical books.
I still like to go in to get a book the same day if its available. I'm just impatient, lol

You are summarizing, with near perfect accuracy, the motte and bailey.

“Defund the police” actually does mean “defund the police”, and this despite attempts to dress it up as the more reasonable position that is incidentally held by a significant portion of the American public.

Even if we want to play fast and loose with semantics and interpretation, that particular formulation is chosen because it reflects an extreme position. It is a phrase that conveys (in the most general and imprecise terms) the sentiment of “I support the radical solution”. By construction, it points to a set of beliefs held by radical minority.

The motte and bailey consists in both (1) focusing on the slight differences in opinion between radicals and (2) focusing on the reasonable beliefs that the average person might share with radicals, while ignoring the unreasonable ones that are not shared. Thankfully, most people see through this, if only on a gut level.

The confusion is not accidental; it is intentional.

You are, at best, repeating a dog-whistle of a slogan. At worse, you are playing semantic games. In all cases, I would encourage you — under the charitable assumption that you are not an extremist — to prefer a turn of phrase that more precisely conveys your actual beliefs, rather than one that aims to confuse the issue and radicalize thought. As a bonus, it’ll elevate the level of discourse and make for an interesting discussion.
My number one request would be a way to avoid counties with a history of civil asset forfeiture. Hopefully having the option would draw attention to the issue and I don't want to stop for food, gas, etc in places that use it.

Musk tells Tesla workers not to be 'bothered by stock market craziness'
All these articles are written in all seriousness as if all these gambling projects have some kind of real world utility and these coins/chains/layers have some value. A bunch of swindlers get a pack of nerds who sincerely believe they are changing the world to build these projects and the hoard of starry eyed simpletons lose their life savings in the hope of hitting the jackpot. It's the same old story.
> Before that happens, the whole world would need to be under continual observation. Then we would have to realize that it always takes more people to observe the people than there are people to observe, and turn the eternal watch over to AI.

> Then the AI wouldn't be saying, "I think it's likely you did this", it would be saying, "Here's the video of you doing this".

Reality of what this video shows will be is much closer to: " we have some video(we are not sure if AI properly reconstructed low quality recording and then matched person accused of crime, example: changing letters in photocopies), does video shows real crime or it only looks like a crime from certain angle, it search data for crimes not for proofs of innocence. After all what stops people behind AI from over representing as criminals people with evil mustaches (consciously or not, doesn't matter), so at start it assigns them a higher score?

Commodities fraud isn't even considered "specified unlawful activity" so they can't stack on money laundering either. Given Avraham's resources this will probably spend a few years in appeals court.
Hah might need tougher tires. In my experience with my other rover robot dogs get real curious and run up close and bark but they usually don’t want to actually touch it because they’re too unsure of it.
Oldcomputerbooks.com focuses on computer material from the 1940s through about 1975. Some years back they bought my volumes of Knuth's TAOCP and one book by Edsger Dijkstra, _The Discipline of Programming_, but not anything more recent.

These may not "last a lifetime" in some sense. But early computing books, especially by well-known authors, may come close.
Besides books, there are the Annals of the History of Computing, now published by IEEE.
Mmm objectively (black and white) lying is a stupid but man taking a moral high ground is even stupider. If you're caught into a position where you either need to lie or divert it's likely a bad situation. The right people, the right job, the right opportunities won't put you in a situation where your boundaries will be tested or you need to lie.

This fundamentally does not work, because being able to copy is such an essential feature of electronic information. Think about it - you can never really "lose access" to information in the computer world unless you purposefully delete it completely, which cannot be realistically ensured.
It seems reasonable to suggest that masks reduce disease and save lives. This may be a scientifically provable fact.

If you want to save lives, you're welcome to wear a mask. Nothing stopping you.

Should the government be able to force people to wear a mask?

Iran's currently hanging people for not wearing government mandated head coverings. I personally don't regard that as positive or something I want to be implemented in any country where I live.

During the early days of COVID I personally wore a mask but also wrote against government mandates, here and elsewhere. Mask mandates were never acceptable, and are now less so than ever: Hospitals aren't overwhelmed anymore, vaccines are available and the population has decent immunity.
As I feared, I changed the iterations myself at some point, and they never "migrated" it to the new value. So it's above the old default, but well below the recommended number of iterations.

I don't suppose it being a non-obvious value makes it any more secure? Is an attacker brute forcing the thing likely to try obvious default values first and then give up if they don't work? Or will they simply +1 the iteration count until they hit paydirt?
I agree that CTEs can help compose complex query from several ingredient queries.

But once several different queries start sharing common CTE ingredients - this is an indicator that you are relying on implicit(informal) schema, which should be formalized and formalized.

Just take your CTE ingredient queries and declare them as views, isolated to your namespace. And let everyone reuse your views, instead of copy-pasting CTE ingredients, or using code-generation to achieve the same.

The benefit is single source of truth - there will be only one definition of CTE
subquery, and it can evolve/extend independently while letting everyone reuse your parts.

I assure you - if you take your CTE with 4 subqueries, and instead create 4 views, the query plan will be the same regardless of using CTEs with code-generation or using views.

The benefit is you dont have to use codegeneration, each view will be testable/verifiable

> If you're willing to throw out security and use one of the many EVM clones...

The devil is in the implementation details, but if we're talking about eBPF vs. EVM... one of them was designed for deadlock-free execution of untrusted code in-kernel, and the other is EVM.

Though, for smart contracts, I think we're best off with a graph reduction execution model, where the contract is presented its initial state and an array of the output contract states, and the contract graph evaluates to True i.f.f. the outputs are an acceptable end-state given the initial state. The client code would propose the new state, along with a compact representation of the path taken through the graph. (The path represented as the index of each branch taken at every OR node in a pre-order traversal of the graph.) The client-side execution to find a True path through the graph might not be efficient, but the on-graph verification is fast, and the format lends itself to a declarative contract description.

Around the place where I'm from the local government put one cross next to the road for each fatality. It was on a local single-lane road. And they used data that stretched decades back. There really was a lot of those, especially around every turn, and it did make people slow down. Ironically the crosses were eventually removed because they were deemed distracting. To be honest they kind of were, at night, because they were covered in slightly reflective paint so that you can still see them at night.
