I live in a small town in Canada, it's extremely common to see 5 to 10 year olds riding toboggans downhill to school every day.

The ones who live downhill from school walk up in the morning carrying their tobaggans, and then ride them home at the end of the day.

Also at our local ski hill, once kids are old enough to ski, it's perfectly normal for them to ski "alone" - they just ask any random adult to help them onto the chairlift. Getting off is no problem. The parents ski where they want, or have a coffee in the main building while the kids are out doing that.

It's extremely common to see packs of 5 to 10 year olds skiing around without any adults.

Everyone loves it that way, and nobody wants it to change.
How I Faked My Life Using AI: Or (The Life and Death of RYAN Gosling Person)
I was reading Hammurabi's code the other day and was struck by the fact that the very first thing the code does is establish the consequences for bearing false witness. There's not even an allowance for "well, I thought it was true", if you are accusing another in court then you are running the risk of the same penalty that you are hoping to impose on the other person, whatever penalty that may be.

There are lots of problems with Hammurabi's code and I wouldn't suggest emulating this particular implementation, but it's interesting to note just how far back this concern of false accusations goes and how our legal system seems to have backslid a bit in this regard.

That's a good question. I don't know -- I never considered private browsing. If I close a private browsing session, are all traces (ie: cookies, history, etc.) of it erased? If so, I don't think that's what I want. I'm okay with my bank (and websites I trust) setting cookies, for example.

There's something to be said about lack of up-skilling programs funded by the govt, but why does the responsibility of one's life and financial wellbeing fall onto the govt, rather than themselves?

I'm curious if any one knows of an effort in tech to make use of Kahneman / Tversky's research on planning large projects?

We know "the software is always late" but it seems to me the answer is there. It's been there for years.

Possibly the data is not there, though. No one wants to admit publicly how badly their project turned out. You might have access to data inside your own company, but not any other companies'

But maybe some people are using an "outside-in" data-driven approach to scheduling, and I just haven't heard about it? LMK

You can't compare the two. Traffic in Jakarta is often barely moving while the suburbs have the opposite problem.
AppImage now has solutions for all three issues. They all rely on a central daemon, which implies they will only work ootb with support from the distribution. The same is true of snap and flatpack as far as I'm aware, so this isn't strictly a deficiency of the format.

In my web dev work I use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Safari Tech Preview on a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro. My (anecdotal) experience is yes, Chrome eats M1 battery. This is true for Chromium as well, so Electron apps eat battery too. Some people have found significant battery life savings from avoiding Rosetta; maybe check if your Excel is running native Apple silicon or through Rosetta (iirc they very recently updated Excel for Mac to run native).
Is there good virtualization software for m1 yet? Last time I looked it was like "well there's a parallels beta..."
"mmHg" is also on my list of units that are stupid. :P

Likewise I understand your argument (yes, of course I know "fluid ounce" is a unit of volume and "ounce" is a unit of weight), I just think naming a unit of volume after a unit of weight is dumb.

Just put relevant ads locally and the problem goes away.

By that I mean, if you're a site about say, board wargames, and there's some new board wargame that wants to advertise on your site, ok. Edit your page to add an ad graphic with a link to the seller. That's cool. And maybe the people reading your page will actually want to buy it!

But there's just no way that third-party ads through some generic ad network will ever achieve that fit or reliability. And ads based on tracking people's data and suggesting things based on what you interacted with on social media or whatever? That's always going to be hot garbage at best. Adding in a third-party ad network (and probably behind that brokers and other middlemen) can't possibly make it better, it can only make it worse. So that's what we have today.

But go back to simple static ads relevant to the content of the page and problem solved.

I like Brave because it comes equipped with a customizable Ad blocker (and Tracker shields, VPN, and Tor integration).
They might be hoping to sue competitors like penpot for being similar to Figma, since Figma's IP would become Adobe's. Or maybe patent troll with some WASM patents, if Figma got them (they sure pioneered with WASM). I don't think suing competitors for having similar designs to Figma will work because penpot could change their design a bit, but it will slow it down.

50% is well within the engineering margin available too. Ultimately you can make 2 seaters that are a little bigger than existing ones but have the same range. Most Cessnas don't fly with full tanks all the time, people usually fill them to ~60% (tabs) for the vast majority of flying and training.

Also, hyper efficient aircraft like the LongEZ (2000mi range on 52usg) become more interesting. Most legacy piston singles are horribly inefficient aerodynamically, to the point where just comparing them by frontal cross section is a completely legitimate strategy. A large amount of thrust is wasted just cooling the engine and the wings on most Cessna's are not flush riveted, seams not covered, etc. People often wonder why multi engine aircraft don't have 2x the performance; they have over 2x the cross section. Composite aircraft have the potential to allow for extremely competitive designs.

I've done estimates before suggesting we don't even need 50% of the performance, but rather somewhere around 30% to start to be competitive. 1.2kw/kg is well beyond viable.

My argument for why it is irrational is that bitcoin as an asset has nothing backing it. It does not produce anything, it is not a liability on anyone else's balance sheet, and it can't be used for anything other than hoping that a greater fool than you will pay you more for it in the future.

Yes, you could say some similar things about government currency, but in that case there is a large organization that is motivated to keep the buying power of the currency relatively stable. Traditional currency also has the benefit of being much easier to transfer between people, unlike bitcoin which cannot scale to serve the needs of the population due to inherent limitations of the technology.
I bought a three letter domain at one of the original TLDs for $3k or so, they can be surprisingly reasonable depending on your use case.
Why would they change their buyback plans in response to an accident that was already priced into their insurance? Handling the accident isn’t going to deplete their 1.1bn insurance policy. This 7m amount is just one of many payments they’ll be making in regards to the derailment.
Not in any European country that I know of. For example, the UK's geographical codes start with 01 and 02 (020 is London, 0238 is Southampton, 02820 is Ballycastle) and are never assigned to mobile phone numbers, which always start with 07.

Other countries work in much the same way, except the prefixes are, of course, different.

I don't think peer review is about ensuring anything. It's about spending some time to improve the quality of the paper to save time for everyone else. It's more about providing editorial services than about the reported work itself.

A research paper is supposed to be a honest report of best efforts to study a topic. If it's not, that's a problem that can't be solved by having a few people spending a few hours with the report. The paper is not the final word on anything anyway. If you read a paper expecting to learn something about the world, you are doing something wrong.

As a reviewer, you determine whether the paper is interesting and relevant to the venue. You report any issues you spot that should be corrected and any things you believe that could be improved. And if you get any ideas you feel like sharing, you may share them as well. And that's it.
> Original commenter is right about the feature obsolescence and didn't seem condescending to me

Maybe it wasn't, intention and tone are really hard to get through text, that's just how it felt to me when I read it.

> That said, URL filtering isn't necessarily effective at keeping your behavior private either. There's an argument to be made about ClearURLs and URL filtering in general being counter intuitive, as you might stick out among a sea of other users with marketing params in their URLs.

I'm personally kind of torn on this kind of thing, because fingerprinting is the default in the www since you expose your IP to every server you connect to. I personally believe it's worth to try and reclaim the privacy even if it could expose to even more advanced tracking techniques. Also things like removing google analytics tags and removing the "google.com" of urls in google searches is probably really effective. (you'll notice that Google only adds this redirect mechanism if you have JavaScript disabled, probably because they don't need that if you're running JavaScript anyways).

> Still wishing for a Tor-like solution to anonymizing all users on a browser configuration level.

One can wish. I'm very pessimistic about Tor and i2p though, the market incentives to block these networks are just too great to ignore for most business. Ultimately though I believe the problem is that privacy is not a computers problem but a human one.

Disagree. From my experience as a scientist there isn't a manual that says what peer review is and isn't supposed to be. Of course, some journals have such guidelines (not that all reviewers read them), and the editors who assign the reviews are free to ignore a rogue reviewer. But there is a set of explicit or tacit standards of good science, and any of it is fair game in peer review:

1. Validity of the experiment

2. Interestingness / novelty of the work

3. Appropriate choice of methods and correctness / believability of the results

4. Signs of outright fraud (suspicious figures, etc.)

Absolutely if I notice some weird Photoshop artifacts in a figure, or some other obvious sign of fake data, I'm going to call that out. I'm probably an outlier on this next one, but I've even been tempted to reject articles just for having egregiously, unreadably bad writing. I know this will be regarded as bias against people whose first language is not English, but if the writing is so bad that it stands in the way of making sense of the article, and the authors can't be bothered to get a decent editor, it's not a worthy contribution to the (English language) scientific literature.
Great to see data-centric AI receiving more attention lately! It's really exciting to see more emphasis being placed on error analysis and model evaluation too. Back in my grad school days, one of my professors always emphasized the importance of mastering error analysis, even more so than building models. We've actually been working on some tools to make error analysis more user-friendly and less boring at https://openlayer.com, if anyone's interested in checking them out. I'm always happy to chat and geek out about data science, so feel free to hit me up!
I don't think so (I looked). Best I could find was some articles online claiming you can add "-unwantedChannel '...'" to your YouTube search to exclude individual channels. I didn't even test it because it would be WAY to cumbersome. Maybe that's all Channel Blocker does under the covers -- add a bunch of those switches to my search.

What frustrates me the most is that this is one place where mine and Google's interests actually align! Let me help train them to not show me crap I don't want to see... then I'll use their products (YouTube and Search) more and give them more opportunities to show me ads! (Well, theoretically -- I block as many ads as I can right now).

That was one of the big reasons I looked for an alternative to Google search. IIRC, you used to be able to exclude results from Google search. In order to do so, you HAD TO LOGIN TO GOOGLE (another huge win for Google!). Now I use Kagi -- primarily because they allow me to exclude sites from their search results.
Technically right is the most reliable kind of right, but in this case “too much” means that someone’s body responds differently than expected to the same amount of food.

It’s true that the extra stored fat might must come from calories not used or excreted elsewhere, but that might be because their body is very poor at making immediate use of the calories as energy or is unusually efficient at storing energy that might otherwise be used. To put a number to it, a 2000 calorie diet as normally recommended may leave them depleted of energy and increasingly fat.

It can take years to discover that kind of “outside the norm” issue, and obesity can easily set in before its recognized let alone addressed. And of course, once obesity does become a part of someone’s life, there’s a whole spiral of challenges that make it hard to overcome. Even moreso when your body doesn’t work normally.
Yeah and in the period before giving up they often had a last-ditch all-in effort. Hopefully this one is it and they'll come to their senses.

Which means the only skill the front line support people bring to the table is translating what they are told into "goto script line X". We can't be very far from an AI doing that at least as well as a human can. If true we've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, and it's a train.

Then again, Google's "we will phone the restaurant to make a booking for you" portended that a long time ago, yet we aren't there. Maybe there's hope yet.
There website is full of so many buzz words its hard to understand what they do.
I imagine they'd probably agree with that assessment; they didn't say they were 100% positive that every single ban was deserved, just that this gave them a very high degree of confidence. I think this method is probably more accurate than most other anti cheat methods for online games out there, and it definitely is less invasive than most of the ones I've heard of. I have trouble thinking that this is a worse way of doing things than not addressing cheating at all or relying on much more invasive methods.
Post-merger/acquisition of Sprint, yes (initiated in 2018 and finally allowed by regulators in 2020).

Interesting detail about the prior 2014 Softbank/Sprint bid to acquire T-Mobile:

> "It was reported that... Sprint had insisted on a low termination fee to prevent regulators from being given an incentive to block the deal, as had occurred with AT&T's failed attempt to purchase T-Mobile."

<< they're the backbone of the economy

In US selling is absolutely the backbone of the economy. Granted, it is often selling crap and/or bs, but it is still selling.

All that said, 'lead generation industry' is not sales. Sales is people who use those leads. I just want to make sure we are clear on the distinction.
Good luck not giving your data to those companies.

There's something really ironic here about the anti-college crusade, the lastest line-in-the-sand drawn by anti-education propagandists. If the complainers knew enough about the benefits of college, they wouldn't knock it.

This is just the usual emotional rant about "Shouldn't have done it if you didn't want X".

Not their fault colleges are charging top-dollar and hedging bets against students looking for a better future. Not their fault the government got into the business of student loans. Not their fault the interest rate doubled in 2013 from 3.4% to 6.8%.

How does Stanford process these reports? Also, the legal system is designed to handle prosecutions; I'd guess that only a small number of reports become any sort of prosecution.
