I dunno how to attribute blame. The publishers are reacting to the incentives provided by the market — maybe it’s our fault for not buying enough copies to keep the publishers satiated.

Apparently book sales dropped in 2022

So maybe it’s COVID’s fault.
People should not be able to retroactively edit books.

Come on guy, it's not that hard to see. People have been pointing it out to you for hours now.
It's worth separating the momentum M*V you're referring to, from the energy M*V^2 that's dissipated in deformation in the collision.

Hmm I'm not quite satisfied even by my clarification. Car and truck chassis strength needs to scale with something closer to M*V^2, so the truck chassis is multiple times stronger.

I wonder if that was an intentional or unintentional pun.

No, it isn't. And that article is sheer drivel. On a very questionable site.

Dahl "justified the Holocaust"? He killed Nazis, for crying out loud.

Pointing out that Jewish people are heavily involved in the media isn't inherently anti-semitic. Creating a fictional conspiracy where a group controls the media isn't inherently anti-semitic either.

Witches and goblins have had long noses for ever. Describing them isn't antisemitic.

Jews aren't all women. Jews don't all wear wigs. Jews aren't known for turning English children into mice. The list of differences is long.

Am I really having to point all this out to a grown adult?
> Downside is if you want to use it locally at home you get extra latency due to the tunnel.

I guess it depends on how your tunnel is set up, but shouldn't you be able to add a static route to your rack on the "home side"?

Which is the same as with us Americans.

My last apartment had a handful of power outages and all except one was due to weather. The exception was a transformer that exploded — which seems common as I’ve seen at least three just randomly go boom.

When you get major weather events, where they are pulling in personnel from all over the nation, is when people get concerned about electric heating because it might take a while to get to them.
If you have ever watched a movie that was originally rated-R when it was on basic cable or broadcast tv then you have almost certainly seen abridged or edited verions of films.

I’ll admit I was raised wearing my shoes indoors and still do it. I live in the suburbs and haven’t really ever needed to use public transportation on a long term basis. I guess big cities are different. I go walks everyday and track who knows what in. I also:

- touch gas station pump handles

- press elevator buttons
- touch door handles

- use (shared) shopping carts at the grocery store

- pick up stray papers blowing through the yard

- touch plants and trees in the yard or while walking

- pet my dog, even if he’s been outside unattended in the yard

Based on some of the comments, I’m wondering if the above revelations will put some people into shock. Granted, during Covid I was much more careful. Small anecdote: my wife is almost a germaphobe while I’m obviously not. She gets sick much much more often. I suppose my immune system is stronger because it’s been exposed to countless small amounts of all kinds of things, just like everyone was for millennia. In my opinion modern society wants everything just a little too sterile. BUT, if I lived in a city of poo-covered streets maybe things would look differently.

A fingerprint reader doesn't need to store your fingerprint, it needs to store a hash sufficient to distinguish it from other people who are likely to try to unlock it.

nb iPhone Face ID has additional protections, like each scanner using a different random physical pattern so hashes can't even be transferred across devices.
Again, I objected to his line of reasoning that you shouldn't be able to complain about being seen as a more disposable form of labor vs full time employees. "You signed up for this" kind of rhetoric is just silly. It's ok to express empathy for those let go, you don't have to carefully dissect their life choices that lead them to this point.

Well, it's pretty by those AIs construction that they are parrots, and there are other designs that pretty obviously aren't (but don't get any impressive result like that). The border is not perfectly binary, but I don't think any knowing person will overdo on that argument.

But yeah, eventually a lot of people will (ironically) parrot the argument even when it obviously doesn't apply. That's normal.

Yeah, I had a good laugh from the dissonance between "our own space on the internet"(tm) and a Web 3.0 website for a service that describes precisely nothing useful.

I don't even know WTF I'm "try[ing] for free, no credit card required", this looks more sleazy than pr0n sites to be giving out card numbers to.

For however much of my money they want (they don't say), that money would be better spent purchasing a proper web hosting plan with a proper hosting provider and registering a proper domain name with a proper domain registrar. I would really have my own space on the internet then.

The US is the wild west and always will be. We are fundamentally a country that loves big desolate places that require rugged individualism to navigate. You can argue that there are pockets where this isn’t true, but I lived in post 9/11 NYC to see the worst pathologies of suburbanism creeping into Manhattan. The few real human scale areas (downtown,fidi) become disneyfied and overwhelmed. I have found it easier to embrace this reality than deny it.

My belief is that people who review the FA-400 positively would be as well served by a regular fan (and even better served by a box fan with a decent furnace filter in front of it). Possibly they are infrequent users or just not sensitive to flux fumes like I am. My understanding is that activated carbon filters like in the FA-400 rapidly lose effectiveness when exposed to the air.

It's probably possible to DIY something as effective as the FA-430 by adapting an existing purifier or fan, as long as you carefully seal the pre-filter path. Since I use the extractor every day in a workshop with coworkers, I need something durable and idiotproof with parts and filters easily available. So it made sense for us to shell out for the FA-430.
Cash represents a fundamental freedom to trade autonomously, without having it be approved by any third party. We've seen various attempts on the part of government and private payment processors to stop certain kinds of trade they don't like from happening. If you don't think they should be able to do this, you should support keeping cash, while developing freedom-respecting alternatives such as Monero to give future generations the right to do the same.
This is how any larger business (e.g. a hospital, university, anyone doing any serious networking) gets their connectivity these days. Basically the modern equivalent of a T-1.

You get proper service: no random dropouts, and a clueful human on the phone and you could complain about QoS and they'd not laugh in your face.

The different thing here is that the service was provided to a residential building, but that's not entirely unheard of. I've done it myself for example.
LANs would usually have non-transparent proxies, which prevent the issues of transparent proxies and can also work with HTTPS.

Some ISPs, on the other hand, did run "transparent" proxies in their networks, causing a range of issues.
It’s not bad where I am now in rural Montana but where I grew up near Seattle the power was off for a week plus most winters.

Lots of above ground power lines in heavily forested suburban sprawl means lots of branches in lines every wind storm and they (private) electric co has to visually check all of them before they can turn power back on.

Despite being much more rural the power coop that serves me now seems to never have an outage that lasts more then a few hours. Probally mostly because they have much less pine to check.
Somewhat related fascinating take: A schoolbus driver did a tiktok saying, roughtly: For its size, a schoolbus is a relatively lightweight vehicle. We don't have Mansfield Bars because we don't want to absorb the impact of you running into the back of us and pushing us into children. Instead, you go underneath and the children have a better chance of surviving. Pretty sobering.
Mostly because we have a bloody simple use case in this topic.

HTML uses some Javascript to encrypt a file. Then later, the Javascript decrypts the file and returns it to normal.

This is a "beginner level" cryptography situation. Yes, I know there's all sorts of traps all around the field of cryptography. But I also know that this particular use case is simple enough that beginners can try their hand at it, and probably make something useful. And with low-probability of a critical error.

Don't write your own AES-GCM implementation. Don't write your own TLS1.2 implementation. Etc. etc. There's all kinds of subtle errors involved. IVs, Padding, side-channels, man-in-the-middle... more than I can count and very subtle to think about.

The fact that this subthread has gone down a rabbit-hole of hypotheticals that are _COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT_ to the use-case discussed in this github is proof enough. The community is a bit rabid over its "advice" on this subject.
There were 16 by June of last year, prompting a "U.S. investigation into Tesla vehicles operating on partially automated driving systems."

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cars-crashes-emergency-ve...

CBS reported at the time that those crashes had caused one death and 15 injuries.

"NHTSA began its inquiry in August of 2021 after a string of crashes since 2018 in which Teslas using the company's Autopilot or Traffic Aware Cruise Control systems hit vehicles at scenes where first responders used flashing lights, flares, an illuminated arrow board, or cones warning of hazards...

"On average, Autopilot gave up control of the Teslas less than a second before the crash, NHTSA documents said."
It's fine if they can't be changed if they're difficult to read or recreate.

In public, biometric auth is better than passcode auth for this reason, because other people (or security cameras) can watch you enter a passcode on your phone.

Besides, fingerprints can be changed. With a blowtorch.

Here's a situation I ran into recently:

* ClassA conforms to a protocol that allows it to return its description as a string

* The protocol includes a regular `description` function as well as an optional `debugDescription` function

* An object conforming to this protocol can be passed to a global logging function, which then calls `description` or `debugDescription` depending on whether the debugger is attached or not

* ClassA's state is protected by a lock

* ClassA's description implementation goes through its state and converts it to a string representation

* Accordingly, ClassA's description implementation needs to also be locked

* The global logging function can be called from within ClassA's state lock, and can take the current instance of ClassA as a parameter

The recommended approach of making `description` call `description_underLock` doesn't work, because the logging function decides whether to invoke `description` or `debugDescription` depending on the context. In other words, if the logging function is called from inside the state lock with `self` as an argument, then we'll get a deadlock if we don't manually invoke `description_underLock`; but if we directly give the logging function the string from `description_underLock` or `debugDescription_underLock` instead of `self`, we now have to replicate the internal logic of the logging function in our layer. Alternatively, we can impose conditions such as "never log `self` from within the state lock," but that feels arbitrary and restrictive.

I think recursive locks make sense in this case, and probably other cases where protocols and/or indirection is involved. We just have to make sure that our description implementation is dead simple (mostly a "leaf node" function) and doesn't have side effects.

Interesting, but I think misplaced. That all started in the 80s, Tipper Gore and the PMRC.

“Adjusted for television” or for play over the radio were broadcast standards that still exist.

Hell, I’m somewhat thankful for them. We had an issue at one of the youth sports games last fall. Music played between innings. The quote that came out of that one was, “I thought E meant ‘everyone’.

Yes, I know stuff is adjusted for broadcast, “find a stranger in the alps” still cracks me up. That’s not the same as not being able to describe tractors as black, or fat people as fat.
Supply alone.

Due to it's climate, national parks and beaches, Sydney is one of the most desirable cities on the planet. As a result this has lead to sustained and very high (3% year on year) internal (rural/regional to city) and external migration.

In response to this migration, local governments close to the city center have done everything in their power for the last half century to oppose high density construction in any form, and to ensure that construction that does occur is not paired with adequate parks, walking/cycling routes, schools, transit, or external parking garages. Eastern suburb train stations in the 70's were protested and cancelled mid construction, and several new rail lines in the 80's and 90's have been cancelled due to thinly veiled race politics.

This has resulted in suburban sprawl and some of the worlds worst road congestion and gridlock that extends all the way to Sydney's periphery, and for 12+ hours per day during weekdays.

Anil Seth's Being You is a recent one that does a good job of summarizing the most popular theories in consciousness. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/53036979-being-you

The Routledge Handbook of Consciousness (https://www.amazon.com/Routledge-Handbook-Consciousness-Hand...) is far more comprehensive and while being more academicky is still an excellent read.

Unfortunately both miss what I think is easily the best and most computationally robust and fleshed out consciousness theory, but that's because it's so tragically unknown.
I co-authored a book that covers this (while staying accessible)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/58085266-journey-of-the-...

So much of the stuff in the mathematical-this and physics-that of conscious experience is just crap because there is very little understanding of biological consciousness and what it is and where we can find it, and where we cannot. These start with assumptions of what consciousness is and then go on to mathematize these non-validated assumptions. (Integrated Information Theory) IIT is the most popular among these. https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=1799 -- this article captures well why IIT, and many like it, are bad models of consciousness.

I think there's some confusion about this.

They used to refer to someone (as a singular pronoun) whose gender is unknown has been valid English for hundreds of years.

He to refer to someone whose gender is unknown is, as the link you provided points out, a more recent addition to English grammar and could be starting to fall away again.

They to refer to someone whose gender is known can be and is used occasionally but can sound strange at times too, he or she would and should usually be preferred.

To only use they to refer to someone whose gender is known is novel, forced, and contradicts the previous rule so it does break grammar (as the other link from Stallman shows).

Nothing has been lost.
It will be interesting when these works as originally written and published enter the public domain, and the altered versions remain in copyright.
