Slander and libel laws probably cover this situation. I agree that the penalties should be high for someone who intentionally invents charges like this and spreads them today.

In past years the damages to reputations could be a lot more local and shorter duration when the false charges are refuted with facts. Local people would know the full story and would be less inclined to hold something like this against a person once charges were proven false. The accuser would take the reputational hit.

Today you make charges like this online on social media and there is no way to scrub that from the record. Those allegations will persist like an incurable disease and will be accessible to anyone locally or internationally who searches for info about the accused. That reputational hit will persist on the accused for their lifetime and into their children's lifetime. Penalties for false allegations like this should be very harsh.
This is the last time you'll find me praise Google but the "Screen Call" button has been a godsend for me, I haven't had to talk to a scammer in years at this point. Nobody makes it past the first couple of words.
Stopping the use of gift cards sold by Target or restricting their use would go a long way towards stopping this. Cracking down on the money mules who forward the cash would help as well. Reporting the bank accounts the scammers use and shutting them down is also key.
Patreon takes something like ~8%. Its chump change for the service given - they also handle sales tax, EUVAT and equivalents, chargebacks, fraud etc.

Could still be a problem of scale. A single neuron is quite stupid. But put enough of them together and they become … still stupid, but it’s more difficult to tell.
Qutebrowser is worth a mention too. Google has sufficiently neutered extensions that I fell out of the flow pretty often with Vimium (e.g., can't work on any of the built-in pages or some other Google properties), but having chrome exist at a much lower level and building the UI around vim bindings has made it a 10x better experience for me in Qutebrowser.

No need to implement the penalties you described if you’re simply trying to align incentives. Their market cap has fallen by $1b, primarily due to this incident.
I see you didn't watch the youtube video I linked

https://search.brave.com/search?q=definition+of+faith&source...

> Faith

> 1. The assent of the mind to the truth of a proposition or statement for which there is not complete evidence; belief in general.

> 2. Specifically Firm belief based upon confidence in the authority and veracity of another, rather than upon one's own knowledge, reason, or judgment; earnest and trustful confidence: as, to have faith in the testimony of a witness; to have faith in a friend.

...

> 5. Intuitive belief.

We have a hypothesis that the penis _evolved_ due to it's ability to scoop out semen. A part of that hypothesis is that this is why longer penises evolved, to place semen in places that cannot be scooped out by other men.

But another explanation for larger penises is that women find them more attractive and pleasurable and therefore it increased your chance of mating.

Another would be that larger penises are statistically more likely to get a woman pregnant in general, with or without a bulbous head.

But here's one for you. The original hypothesis about the penis head came from an experiment in which they found that a single thrust could potentially pull out 90% of a competitors semen. We won't discuss the logistics (they didn't use real people), we'll have _blind faith_ that the experimenters ensured it was realistic.

Men ejaculate in spurts over a time period that is larger than what it takes to thrust a single time. This would imply the penis head also removes it's own sperm quite often.

---

The point here is that

1. We don't know, and
2. We can't know without actually documenting the process.

This sub-thread was brought about by someone saying "how do we know this is true", and the answer is, we can't know, therefore we take it on blind faith.

If you're offended by the phrase blind faith, use whatever phrase you like. But while you're doing that, please watch that youtube video. It will help you better understand why it's more useful to discuss the underlying idea than to discuss if we should be using word X or word Y.

This translate to "we even conceive going into war because of this".

And this translated to "and economic sanctions are very likely".

So, don't think this is a bland statement.

People working in the system don't have the same faith. From the article:

> In October 2020, the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer issued a report stating that MAiD would cut healthcare costs by over $66 million. In 2017, Aaron Trachtenberg, a research fellow and a doctor at the University of Manitoba, and Braden Manns, a health economist and nephrologist at the University of Calgary, published a paper predicting that MAiD could slash healthcare costs by as much as $100 million yearly.

> “I do worry MAiD is an easy solution to bed shortages and the terrible lack of resources patients are facing,” Dr. Ramona Coelho, a family physician in a suburb of Toronto, told me. She added that “the perverse disincentive that exists for administrators and governments with providing MAiD rather than care and resources to live can present a real danger to the lives of vulnerable or marginalized persons.”

There have also been reports of medical staff pressuring patients to sign up for MAiD to save the government money.

> “They asked if I want an assisted death. I don’t. I was told that I would be charged $1,800 per day [for hospital care]. I have $2 million worth of bills. Nurses here told me that I should end my life. That shocked me.”

In the US, "medical error" is the third leading cause of death. Nurses and doctors are regularly fired or sued for serious wrongdoing. There's good ones and bad ones, competent ones and incompetent ones. Every profession is a mixed bag. I am sure it is no different in Canada.

You can never, ever, trust a system. You can trust individuals.

I don't have experience with airline scheduling but I have experience with software in large financial corporations like banks. The situation with banks (at least the ones I worked with) is that there is a huge amount of software maintained mostly by mediocre to bad teams. These teams fail a lot, the software fails a lot, and yet everything seems to keep going.

It is not about code or algorithm quality, it is about procedural side of things -- how the organisation is "programmed" to respond to failures. I use the word "programmed" in a very broad sense -- for me setting up a paper checklist and being able to rely on people to follow it is the same as programming.

I suspect the main difference between airlines and banks is that banks can afford to throw money on the problem and just get things done regardless of how inefficiently.

Airlines are in the much worse position -- they were able to afford being inefficient and throwing money at the problem in the past but can't do it anymore. They work with old, outdated software that wasn't built with efficiency in mind but now don't have funds to change it and are forced to maintain what they have. This may also be the answer to why sometimes they just don't have capacity to react to problem and let it cascade to bring everything to a halt.
I've come back to this country and have had two people with mental illnesses tell me they want to apply for this shit, which aren't being properly addressed because you basically have to be committed to a mental institution in order to get proper mental healthcare here. I honestly think it's fucked. The provision for this and mental health issues which they're just not even fucking trying to treat just makes my blood boil.

Look I honestly think it should be a thing, people should have the right to access to this for terminal illnesses and all that which it makes absolute sense for - but implementing it in the middle of a huge public healthcare crisis [1] is the worst timing ever. I waited a month just to see a GP for a simple prescription refill. And before you tell me I'm complaining about something that's free, I returned to Canada with a 16k medical bill because I didn't declare I left the province, as it turns out something called medical service premiums are a thing in some provinces. All to come back to waiting a month for a GP? I'm paying this shit off, and leaving forever. A lot of other smart people have too.

Hey check out this guy in this news report, he has like BACK PAIN ISSUES and is being encouraged to do this shit. Oh sorry unfit for work eh? Well sorry that's too bad cocks gun [2]

> Today, thousands of people who could live for many years are applying—successfully—to kill themselves.

If someone is living in suffering, it is better to give them the option to end their life if they want, than to insist that they keep on living just because they “could” continue to live for many years more.

Thanks for the article, I’m not American nor do I live there so I’m not so well versed on US labour law and unions. From reading the article however it seems this issue was particular to rail union workers?

This can be done without tracking users though. Also, in the context of "no-one owes you a business model", just because being able to do something can increase your bottom line by some % doesn't mean you can do it at the expense of individuals. The web industry (which I'm very much a part of) had years during which they could have voluntarily stopped being shitty to users, and they didn't, so now we have GDPR etc.
Maybe systems bare extra costs because of parasitic behaviors.
I just switched my desktop to linux (thanks Proton!) and this looks promising to replicate my Hydra setup.
Another giveaway is an extra pause before they start talking. This is call software that lets them dial a bunch of numbers at once until someone answers and it switches the person that answered over to an available headset.

If you answer and say hello and there's an extra second just hang up. They'll call back if it is important.
Do you happen to work in a scam call center? If so that seems like a reasonable approach!
The laws intention was totally fine, and if browsers and sites e.g. would have implemented it with a more DNT like approach or just a default opt-in than annoying opt-out approach everyone could have benefitted, but sure AD companies and everybody else snapped in and needed to annoy and show everybody how bad and unreasonable this whole bullshit implementation now is (which it really is, goals achieved on all sides - except for customers, which are still mostly tracked and now also annoyed..)
That's not really true, I'm afraid.

Go/Rust have alternative compilers as you point out; what does "very different options" have to do with anything? The GGP's statement about "discovering" capabilities is, at least to my interpretation, about the behavior of language features under a given compiler (i.e. autoconf rules for things like "are we using this one buggy version of gcc that can't reliably use vectorized instructions for some common task? If so, drop in an alternative implementation of some common library function"), not the options/flags of the compiler itself.

D has multiple supported compilers (https://dlang.org/download.html). The simplest one is simpler/more pleasant to use because of the lack of legacy baggage.

Nim is a bit of an odd one, in that there's one implementation of the language, but the most common compiler mode emits C code to be compiled on the toolchain of your choice, though the behavioral configuration of the toolchain is handled/defaulted well (at least, well enough I've never had to worry about a multi-stage build system) by the "nim" CLI utility.

Well, leveraging the other properties but only so far as around those services. So if I search my TV for movies to rent, it would only show me those. Same with the Movies and TV app on my phone.

It would be unethical to completely remove them from search. But would it be unethical to prefer partners and give them higher precedent in results?

As for what X is, I don't know precisely. They could easily update Play terms that no app my sell an item to a user that may be removed later. That would mean X would mean you weren't in Play Movies and TV, but also weren't allowed to sell movies via a Play Store App.

Delta had a similar outage due to a datacenter fire, grounding all domestic flights. Southwest was uniquely slow in taking days to start up again. And if the way my American Airlines ticket switched my birthdate to January 1st, 2000 is any indication, many airlines still need to modernize.
I have the exact same situation and it works wonders. Pretty ridiculous that it takes a complete fluke of personal history to solve the call spam.

I'm at this point. Learned vim in grad school where I was ssh'ing into systems all the time. I tried a variety of plugins but none of them have stuck for me. Now in industry everyone uses VS Code or something like it and I just can't get into it. Everything I need to do is on the command line (git, run tests, etc). Having been a Linux-enthusiast for quite some time helped me with needed command line tools as well (now I'm using a Mac at work, which is similar enough where it matters).
Expectations. I was expecting an API for dogs to use. Bark once for a treat, put paw on human for some affection, scratch at the door to go out, etc.
This "solution" and mindset completely undermines the utility of a phone.

Which at least I think is a grave mistake.

You might argue that you barely use the phone as a phone, and that might have been a good argument if there was anything remotely equivalent.
Do we have broader studies on how many MAiD applicants are applicants due to economic hardship or lack of other resources, vs terminal illness or unbearable chronic illness? The article points to multiple MAiD support networks existing; has anyone surveyed them?
I think B only matters as a signal of leadership instability. And I think it tells us nothing new about Mr. Musk that we didn't already know. So I think B is probably not really a factor. A is plenty enough to explain the market behaviour.
Even in PACE, I don't think it means commoditization. That said, over time I've found anyone really technical pays absolutely zero attention to Gartner. With no judgement implied, they generally seem to target non-technical people who just want some jargon and product names that will help them sound like they know what they're talking about. They also get paid by the companies they are evaluating which means they'll almost never tell you about smaller players/startups who don't have the budget. HN or Reddit are probably both better for getting a read on who's actually doing innovative stuff.

Social security numbers are unique IDentifiers for almost all people (legally) living in the US. Their whole point is to uniquely identify each person in the country. Even if you immigrate to the US after 25 you'll be assigned an SSN after becoming a permanent resident.

You can't board a flight with it because there's no photo, but it's still a near-universal way to ID each person residing in the US.
You can call Indian industrial-scale criminal scam operations strategic centers deployed against US , if that helps victims get back their money and justice.
One important component is slack. Every airline at every airport should have a certain number of crews and airplanes capable of providing service in place of a delayed flight. Running on maximum efficiency for airplanes and staff means unexpected delays will cause cascading failures. Weather can be forecasted, and additional crews can be routed to replace probable future cancelled flights. Temporary staff and increased hours can be utilized for peak demand seasons. We saw similar problems with manufacturing failures when the supply chain became unreliable because of a lack of slack. This type of slack can be seen as an inefficiency and costs money, so it's unsurprising to see budget airlines struggling.

Another important component is disaster recovery. How quickly can the system recover from missed flights? What is the game plan for dealing with crews/airplanes that are out of place. How will they return to normal operations? Often times having a play book everyone is working from can lead to faster recoveries than dealing with each individual crisis as it happens, often with either too much micromanagement from leadership or too little coordination between departments. The play book generates a conciseness before the system is stressed.

No, I just picked it from the ENS web page (https://www.astree.ens.fr) but it may have not been updated for a while.

As I understand it there's been improvement on dynamic allocation with separation logic in general, TBC what Astrée supports (I've no first hand experience).

For recursion, it's a similar problem as for loops as I understand it: to handle it fully automatically the analyzer would have to prove recursion terminates and find and prove induction invariant. But safety critical code tend to forbid it anyway so it may not be a big limitation for most Astrée customers.

What’s really crazy to me is that, just over 5 years ago I built myself a fairly high end workstation to do 3D work (2017 - so a Ryzen 1700X and an NVidia 1080 Ti etc) and my tiny iPad Pro 11 handedly beats it.

Those workstation specs aren’t very impressive today of course , but 5 years ago, they were about as good as you could go without getting into Xeons and Quadros. At the time too, the Ryzen was better than most Xeons available and the GeForce was preferred for GPU rendering over most Quadros.

The iPad weighs around 470g including a (small) screen. The computer by itself weighed somewhere north of 15kg , not including all the input devices+screens etc…

The only area the iPad can’t compete with my system is pure RAM. But still, 5 years to go from a big workstation to a device I just hold in my hand is really impressive. To me anyway.
Exactly, that's why I love this feature. I don't even have to ignore the call, it just silently goes to VM.
