> What is so bad about being aware of what content we show children?

That is not and has never been the problem. If you are a parent of a young child, then you should absolutely be aware of the content your child is seeing/reading. I doubt you will find anyone that disagrees.

The problem is the revisionist approach to rewriting works to appease modern readers' (apparently delicate) sensibilities.

Personally, I see this as shielding readers from harsh truths of the past (and in some cases just reality). Mr. Dahl is long dead, and yet we feel like we need to rewrite his words to ensure we don't accidentally offend someone. I mean, can you imagine a child reading the word <looks around> "fat"? Or "female"? My god, they would never be the same.
I wish this older generation of politicians who grew up without the internet would hurry up and retire, and let some people who have at least a vague grasp of technology take over. It is painful to watch these people grapple incoherently with the basic idea of how encryption works and what is fundamentally possible or impossible to achieve.
We Olds tend to, since it used to be (not even that long ago) rarely-used, and almost never without some good motivation or framing narrative demanding it. Kids coming up find it normal.
If chainsaws are popping off arms, then maybe we should have safety features, you know, like many blade driven devices already do these days. Again an example of a tool that evolves to meet users' needs instead of resorting to "you're using it wrong," this is a basic principle of product design.
Do you have any reference? I don't think that's strictly true. I agree that this big slab is just some kind of protection, but if you would look at the bottom part of this slab, you would see threads, like small seaweed which "grow" from this slab. My understanding is that kombucha is a symbiotic mix between those threads (it's actually Yeast fungus) and bacteria in the liquid. Liquid does contain some parts of fungus, of course, so you can throw out the entire slab and new slab will grow eventually, but you're throwing lots of yeast and its protection. So your kombucha will take much more time to brew and final result will not have the same proportions of components as "properly" brewed kombucha.
Most big tech companies doubled staffing over the pandemic because they saw a 10% chance that people would continue to spend much more time online after the pandemic and they didn't want to miss the opportunities associated with that. They knew that if things went back to normal they could just lay all the extra people off and return to normal and the costs associated with that were worth the 10% chance to see massive growth. The idea that there was some sort of mistake seems pretty naive to me. Meta doesn't employ fortune tellers, they just react to the probabilities they see.
How would you deal with malicious packages that randomize or time delay their malicious behavior?

Say you have a package that only triggers the evil activity one out of 10,000 evaluations? It'd have a 99.99% of passing validation but could still wreak havoc on a heavily used client side application.

Ditto for a package that simply delays it's malicious payload until some point in the future, after the scan has occurred? I guess this is a bit easier to test for by future dating the system clock, but again what if it's a random window? (e.g. every other day for five minutes, at 4:59pm UTC).
So as the artist, allow me to remove myself from the equation.

Bullshit marketing stunt. Artists who wish to do this (and there are plenty of them) just put their work out in the world and don't sign it. There is a grain of truth to it, insofar as abstract or figurative paintings do not need to be 'about' something, and most art talk is just hype. But making abstract art in the first place is an expression of sensual glee over color, form, composition and so on.

I like this guy's art, but he's using flattery to market it.
Beyond $Job, and intellectual cred? ~Never.

But as a way to build "brain muscles", and serious appreciation for how complex both the world and abstract systems can easily be - advanced math is a cheap (for society) degree. No field work, fancy instruments, nor laboratories, as most sciences require. No auditoriums / theaters / etc., as arts & music generally require. Nor...

And at least back when I was in grad school, $College's need for TA's for the intro-level math courses (that many other fields of study required) made it really easy to pay the bills.
It is something they signed up for. This is the cost of protecting your community.

Not all of us are so brave as to become a police officer. But there comes a time when you need to stand up not just for the people around you, but the values you all organize yourselves into communities for. Protecting a community's way of life is literally the job description of the police. This includes protecting your community from being dominated by a police force empowered to murder with no warning or accountability. The officers are the ones who make the decisions to ensure that their communities remain safe from threats of all kinds.

We don't give our armed forces excuses when they violate the Geneva convention and ROE, why would we do it with police?
Initially, the proposition relied on Fastmail protocol, which was/is superior to IMAP.
It was pleasing that standardization began, as MS Activesync charged a few dollars per user just for the protocol.
Even the Apache James mail server supported it as a draft.
Despite becoming a standard make it better , but lost momentum.

Still hope at least both will add push notification to 3th party apps.

Oh, agree that I don't imagine this world being likely. Just imagining that there is no reason these points have to be backed by US dollars. And if you gave people a way to transfer value from one game to another, they may take you up on it. Incentive would be to give a reason to jump worlds, as it were.
Recently a friend of mine was walking in a public park in LA while there was a children's event happening on the field. He was making phone calls and watching the kids have fun and play for a few minutes.

He got confronted by a hysterical mob of parents, demanding to see his phone if he was taking pictures of the kids! He shows them that he has no pictures, they still are vivid calling him a threat and call the cops on him. One couple was incredibly heated and both threatening him directly. I believe he said the mom said something like "if there weren't so many ring cameras around I would bash your face in right now".

Police said something to him about "the times we live in..." and being careful lol!

Wildest thing to me is that his appearance is of a young clean cut college student. I would maybe understand if he seemed a bit older but still with no proof nor proximity to children this is a ridiculous experience.
What kind of machine does it take to run the model?
Microsoft did not in fact have to change anything about bundling the browser with Windows.

And just in case you haven't noticed, Intel isn't exactly doing great against AMD these days and doesn't even have a monopoly on chips with the x86 instruction set.

Do you think its also illegal for the cable companies that originally lost money on cable infrastructure and to subsidize the cable infrastructure to sell subscription content? DirecTV probably wouldn't have made money selling satellite internet. But it was able to do it cheaply because of its content delivery. Every company leverages its resources to have margins of scale.

Even HN can only exist as a free service because it leverages the resources it has from the rest of its business. No one pays dang to moderate HN. The moderation is subsidized.
I've never thought of WhatsApp as a social networking product. For me, it's just an SMS replacement necessary to talk to my friends outside of the US.

Not saying my perspective is correct, but I think of a "social networking" product as one where I'm talking to groups of people. That's not how I use WhatsApp. That's always 1-on-1 conversations with people I know in the real world.
It's actually anti-non-NAFTA, as can be seen in the inflation reduction act.
>And so doom us to repeat the mistakes of our forebears and bring violent racisim back into fashion?

Solar car fans can still pin their hopes on Aptera [1] and on Lightyear which is rising again from bankruptcy [2], though both their futures still look rather shaky...

Personally, I think ditching the solar and just focussing on low weight and affordability like luvly [3] does, makes more sense, but obviously those are limited to shorter ranges.

Don't worry, small-to-medium software companies do exactly the same.
Yeah, seems very win-win. Either we get a working quantum computer or we make revolutionary new discoveries in physics. Either option would be pretty exciting.
But the untruth of one system, makes the truth of the other not a given. So, transferring funds makes more sense, as it just shifts the chance to be true, towards the more "scientific" part of the system. It also adds lag to the system, so you do not get a constant switching reward functions.
The DMCA shields content providers from copyright liability. What you’re probably thinking of is YouTube’s voluntary ContentID system and related policies that they started doing to make Viacom happy. It doesn’t really have anything to do with the DMCA.

Broadly speaking, when someone infringes trademark, they are entitled to the damages done, which are likely much greater than the ad revenue here.

Beyond the prompt as you see above, I added the events table with id, userName, eventType and date field. Adding your database tables gives (in my experience) high accuracy.
Does manufacturing account for a large portion of those 100k+ employees? Ericsson is not a fabless semiconductor firm, after all. They need to produce things like enclosures and PCB's (perhaps that is done by 3rd parties).
This is probably a stupid question, but assuming some noise pollution is inevitable, is it plausible that a motor could be tuned, or have its noise output "converted" in some way to emit a pitch higher than the frequency range audible to human ears? Or even a lower frequency that was more in line with the existing noise pollution we're accustomed to.

Edit: maybe we could RL a somewhat efficient ornithopter. A mechanical harpy eagle with owl-like noise dampening serrations on its wings would look way cooler flying through our cities and be much quieter.
No, it’s not comparable in any ways. Car manufacturers sell cars. That’s their main business.

Here we have Google using its dominant position in another market to prop up another activity through an advantage. That’s most definitely fall under anti-competitive law at least in Europe (I don’t care about the US. The modern interpretation of American antitrust laws is a complete joke).
I think societally, at least from popular media that’s what I understand.

I personally agree with you wholeheartedly but I think your opinion is in the minority
Mr. Lee would definitely beat the Mafia, at least if you got on the bad side of management.

One of the most amusing parts of that book was how the Mafia had recruiting booths at college job fairs, just like the other corporations.
Azure StorageExplorer is one i can recall of the top of my head. Although it's true a lot of dev tools will be CLI and not have too many dependencies (you would hope).
yup that was my kneejerk too, literally the definition of 'middleman'

the only counter-point I have is when I used to sell demonstration boards: they cost me almost nothing to produce and I designed them in minutes, but people who bought them said I saved them R&D time in the long run (open source)
I don't know why, but it took me a full minute to realize that graphic was spinning in a counter-clockwise fashion.
I understood what 6510 was proposing. My point is that the lenders consider this to be them not owning the relationship and it requires the broker to do all the CRM work. Neither sees the smorgasbord approach as good for them.

Could it be done that way? Sure! This just comes with the caveat that finding lenders willing to do it might be harder and they would likely pay less per-lead. So a higher volume would be required to make financial ends meet for the broker, who also is now developing and deploying more sophisticated software in addition to the whole sales funnel and marketing operation.

You may be thinking "Gee, this is great for everyone except the customer". Yes, it is. It sucks for the customer who gets spammed by a dozen lenders.
I don't follow. Why should they develop a high intelligence if the don't have a chance to learn from others? Usually, these others are your parents.

I'm picturing a webcomic where a ~25 year-old's boyfriend asks her for some nudes, she strips to take them and freaks out because [politician] is suddenly sitting there, leering and smiling. "Oh don't mind me, I'm just here to protect children and prevent terrorism."

Any other ideas for a series?
If people are going to manufacture trash that breaks or become oBsOlEtE after a year anyway, you might as well have it biodegrade when it's done.
Absolutely loved Principles so much that I bought copies for my team members and some leadership. I implemented small measures of radical transparency with the teams I managed where it made business sense as well. Wasn't always popular with fellow managers but my people absolutely trusted me (and produced accordingly).

The book is highly recommended even if you don't implement half of what he's suggesting as it's based on hard-won experience. His Principles tweets are largely expounding on what's in the Principles book if you don't want to buy it, with some regurgitation which I felt was kind of marketing driven to promote book sales. Definitely worth the read.

Mantle plumes don't significantly change the shape of the core or mantle, though. They're convection within the mantle. They rise from the core mantle boundary, but they're basically temperature features, not structural features.

In other words, mantle plumes are parts of the mantle that are hotter than the other identically composed mantle around them.

In contrast, the core and the crust are different compositions than the mantle.

Just to clear up another common confusion, the mantle is very much solid, except for a tiny fraction of melt in a narrow and shallow zone called the athenosphere. The mantle flows over time despite being solid, though (think of a glacier). Just like a marble slab will bend over time (see benches in old graveyards that sag in the middle), the mantle slowly flows, but a hammer/etc would bounce right off of it. That's also true of large portions of the crust.

As far as how smooth or not smooth the actually core boundaries are, we don't really know in detail. To a first order, they're smooth (i.e. we measure a broadly consistent radius from multiple directions), but that doesn't mean they're necessarily a "billard ball". There's likely fairly complex topography at the boundary that we can't easily measure.
Years ago, I heard that the top industrial export from North Korea was counterfeit $100 bills. When traveling in the surrounding countries, people treat that denomination with more skepticism as you get closer to North Korea. Special paper-protecting and flaw-spotting techniques that I have never seen inside the USA.
Disagree, the dominance of IMAP makes email much worse than it needs to be. To the very point of putting email at risk in the long run.
Ex-Ericsson engineer here, I was at the company for 13 years. Regarding the size - lot of people don't realize because it hasn't been a front-facing company since the collapse of its phones business, but it really is invested in tech right across the board - from developing its own real-time operating systems to its own massive-core chipsets used in base stations, to its own ML platforms. Just the research arm of Ericsson is huge in itself, I think they have around 60 000 patents granted, and are doing everything from fundamental RF research, to quantum machine learning. Not to mention a huge managed services business that helps telecom operators run their networks.

Regarding the lay-offs - telecom industry is essentially a sinewave. The "good" period (e.g. from 5G prototype to complete network migration to 5G) lasts approximately 5 years. The way contracts are signed means that you sell X number of network nodes (base stations, core nodes, etc) and some kind of support contract to go with it. After that, there is nothing. Very different from public cloud providers where you pay as you go. Ericsson and most telecom vendors still haven't figured out how to monetize this.
Why does the artist get to dictate my response to their work? Why should they get to dictate my understanding of it?

Those should be the role of the viewer.

The TikTok woman voice is so grating it's oddly fascinating. It might be the most annoying voice I've ever heard but yet...

Will the Harm from Baltimore’s Highway to Nowhere Ever Be Repaired?
This is very interesting thank you. I always said to myself if I was writing anything telecom-y I would use Erlang but seems its days are behind us. I wonder if it's just too expensive to hire and train people in it when everyone knows Go/Java/Python already, or if it's more the idea that other ecosystems have sprung up to replace it e.g. K8s.

I don't think you understood the analogy in what I was saying.

I don't, but don't try to convince me to use it, just like there's no way I could convince you to not use syntax highlighting.
Well, at least Germany is at the brink of a recession. And the signs are there to see for quite a while now.

the burden of taking care of people who are less able to take care of themselves is not a burden that the government should place on certain individual people or individual companies, so rest of us can go on about our days happy that we don't have to think about it any more. If you want us to redistribute money to people so they don't need to move, the bite should equally come out of your and my income and bank accounts, not just landlords'. If you think that the govt should buy all this property so it can do a great job of being a landlord and tenants will be happier that way, get those laws passed. Till then, the fallback is not to simply punish rental property owners. (disclosure, I own property but I don't rent it out because I don't want the hassle, the money is not worth it)
They were pretty anti-Corbyn when he was in charge. That's one reason I peg them as centre-left. And they're currently cheerleading the centre-left version of Labour that's polling at 50% - that's why I reckon they're closer to the centre of politics (as measured by support) than Reason is.

I worry about time passing for any existing stable industry where MBAs want to come in and “exploit inefficiencies.” It reminds me of Warren Buffet noticing how he can keep raising the price of See’s candies without losing customers. “Look at all that price elasticity l!” Meanwhile ordinary people become poorer.

There are a lot of reasons for wealth inequality, but finding ways to extract more profits off the same product or industry erodes society over time. I don’t know what could practically be done about all of this, but left unchecked, this will continue well into the future.
