Nobody was arguing that Hinton should be listened to uncritically. You were the one asserting that he should not be listened to at all.

With respect, you seem to be shifting goalposts, from the indefensible (Hinton doesn't know what he's talking about) to the irrelevant (Hinton doesn't have perfect and complete knowledge of the future).
Ok so he's complaining about his damaged book order rather than slamming Amazon's business model/etc...

The explicit prohibition that you are referring to: is it explicit in the law written by the legislature or made explicit by prior case law (i.e., judicial interpretation)? I'm curious because I've heard arguments for and against common law that this seems relevant to, if the latter.

That block (corner of 8th and Market) is particularly nasty.

What I find even more perplexing than the city doing nothing is how the large tech companies and their brood that work right next door tolerate it.

For those that work in those offices, do you just get bused in everyday, eat all your meals at the cafeteria, and get bused back out, observing the outside world like a snow globe?

How do you reconcile the money you make with the destitution at your literal doorstep.

I think the problem is that the internet created a ton of new jobs, even while taking some. So far, I can't think of an example of AI creating jobs...only taking them. When you have a lot of newly unemployed people, drowned in debt, unable to know what to believe (AI lies and generations will become more prominent)...I can see that as becoming a massive political problem. It's not quite like robots on an assembly floor, those robots couldn't scale. Now one AI program and API could displace 1000s of workers instantly. It's not crazy to be concerned.

This time they did in fact say all accounts would be made whole. My employer was banking at SVB, the Monday after the collapse we could login to our account and access all the funds as though nothing happened.

I do get why they did it, I was simply pointing out that they changed the rules in the middle of the game.
A technology-agnostic approach I'd favor would be some regulation roughly along the lines of:

"Every business decision on behalf of a business needs to be signed off by a responsible individual"

If you want automated software doing things on your behalf, sure, but every action it takes needs to be attributable to an accountable individual. Be it an engineer, an executive, or an officer.

Doesn't matter if the "other entity" is an LLM, a smart contract, or an outsourced worker in a sweatshop through 5 levels of subcontracting.

If you make a machine and it causes a mess, that's on you. If others start using your machine unsupervised and it makes their lives a mess, that's on them (and potentially you).

Once again, no country in the world requires its intelligence agencies to get a warrant to surveil a foreigner outside its borders who has information relevant to national security. This is both legal and something we all expect, and we already knew this before Snowden's leaks. To reveal the code names of systems that ingest this data, Snowden also leaked compromised Chinese computer systems. Is that something we should celebrate?

Even Snowden (and probably 99.9% of all people) would disagree with your position. His statements show he thought he was revealing something other than what his documents actually said.
"And one way for the executive branch to check the judicial branch is to disregard judicial rulings that are blatantly unconstitutional, just like the judicial branch regularly invalidates entire laws and government programs."

There are adaptations against that, giving even greater tenacity and resilience. There are a whole bunch of plants that rhizomes. Attempting to pull out the root structure, in practice, helps propogate them via root division. Examples of such plants are running bamboo, kadzu, feverfew, bermuda grass, etc.

For these kinds of plants, it’s better to change soil condition: use a technique called “sheet mulching”; it delays things enough to establish a different soil condition and different plants. Even then, it may not work.

Translation software won't make you understand all the slang and idioms happening when communicating with people natively speaking the same language as you. "Hacemos una chancha" might literally mean "We make a pig" but that's not the meaning of it, and you'll miss a lot of context from conversations unless you're already aware of it, especially when it just looks like translation errors from the software rather than literal translations.

Not to mention that depending on the language, you'll be using different websites. Not all Spanish memes are made for reddit or even Spanish speaking reddit.

You're right that we can't know.

But I think it's fair to say, in hindsight, that someone was sentenced to death entirely based solely on evidence that no reasonable person would consider beyond a doubt.

But, assuming they go ahead and kill him, I'm sure that will be the rationale: we can't be sure he was innocent, and someone has to die.

It's actually different per state - different laws and levels of enforcement. Some states you can't drive off the lot without a plate, others give temporary ones. That makes selling cars faster, in a state with a terrible Dept. of Motor Vehicles, like CA - where the town in question is located.

SEEKING WORK | Berlin, Germany or remote (originally from NYC, can make trips to US east coast)

Full stack Ruby and Javascript developer with experience as a lead dev, as well as a teacher/mentor. I believe in writing clear, readable, simple code and refactoring for performance as necessary. I'm good at communicating with other stakeholders, including non-technical execs/managers, thinking about the business problem and advocating for the user. I'm a big time pragmatist.

I have experience working with startups, big businesses (e.g. New York Times and Cleversafe - $1B onsite file storage service acquired by IBM) and small businesses. Other examples of clients I've worked for include a large European travel booking company, a developer tools company, a B2B fashion supply chain management company and on a one-off art installation project for Davos.

Long time Rails dev (since Rails 2), more recently I've worked with Node.js/Express, React and Golang as well. Occasional open source contributor (most recently to DefinitelyTyped and KillBill a billing & payment platform). Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, and Digital Ocean.

As is the case with many anti-discrimination policies, often the actual result can be the opposite of what was intended.

Many employees are not comfortable with the accommodations for trans colleagues required of them by their employer (and by our current legal environment). Those employees don't really have a means to have their concerns addressed: it is either comply or quit/get fired. A way around that is to simply avoid hiring trans people.

That you do not understand those concerns does mean they are not understandable.
Not just one skit. Bob and Doug are as fundamental to our cultural DNA now as Gord Downie. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas reunite occasionally to do commercials for Mr Lube and stage video for Rush, and they never get accused of greed or whatever cause we all are just so happy to see them again.

For a quick crash course, find and watch Strange Brew, their feature film, which today is like a vacation in early 80s Toronto. But all the old SCTV shows are worth digging up, it had three different lives and each is fantastic, but different.

I simply don't like people following me around wherever I go and keeping a record of it. I am pretty boring in that way and most others. Rotating SIM cards and devices does not create privacy, but it does create confusion on network maps if someone tried to identify the owner of a SIM or device by analyzing travel patterns.
Not conflating, rather I don't think style is as relevant as genre to the discussion.

The overall genre is more important, because it imposes more constraints to the songwriting. Style is basically just spice on top, nothing you can't change at will based on different playing, production, and orchestration.

The problem with tired bands isn't that they exhausted their style, but that they can't come up with decent new songs.

Other bands in the same genre (or even different genres) can and do however come up with new songs - and if the former band was able to write them (exactly the same as the second band has), then changing them to their own style would be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

For example, to take two bands in the same genre, if the Rolling Stones couldn't write decent songs in 1988-1998, and Black Crowes could (they put out a series of good records then), it was not because the Stones exhausted their style and Black Crowes still hadn't exhausted theirs.

It's just that the Stones had no inspiration, whereas the Crowes could still come up with good songs. The difference in style isn't really important, as the same same songs could trivially be turned to the style of the other band.

(Hell, even complete different style && genre songs can be turned into the genre and style of a band covering them, just need a different orchestration, production, and small stylistic flourishes - the core of the song, the chords, melody, lyrics remains the same).
> My understanding of current teaching is Protestant beliefs are material heresy but not formal heresy.

Beliefs, as such, cannot be distinguished as formal or material heresy, because if a belief contradicts a necessary belief of the Catholic faith, whether a person holding it engages in formal or material heresy depends on other aspects of the individual heretics relationship with the belief, not the content of the belief.

And the Church doesn’t hold that “Protestant beliefs” as a class are heretical for the baptized to hold. There are beliefs within the Protestant community that the Church holds to contradict necessary elements of the Catholic faith so as to be capable of being heresies when held in the requisite circumstances, sure.

Also, there’s an evolving view both theologically – which kind of follows on practical treatment – that the doctrinal divisions between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Churches, as well as those between the Catholic Church and Eastern and Oriental Orthodox are, in general, as relates to (even validly baptized) members of the respective communities of a distinct theological character from heresy (which is essentially the religious equivalent of “treason”), even if heresy was the right frame early in the respective splits. This provides a theological reinforcement for (and in some respects follows from) efforts focusing on dialogue, clarification, and resolution of disputes rather than condemnation, which have made some progress in (in the case of the Protestant direction) both the Anglican-Catholic and Lutheran-Catholic dialogues.
Supposedly, the bill is for companies who produce their own content (just like the existing broadcasting laws) and not for companies that serve user-generated content (like YouTube).

It's a choice whether to build a dam or not, but that choice will not change the amount of heat generated.

That doesn't seem very likely. Even just looking into the topic of the Doklam plateau makes it clear that Bhutan is vulnerable to all kinds of changes in attention.

If they truly are not fazed in some general way, it seems more likely that they would not be fazed simply because they live within a geopolitical program which has been defined by external entities.

In other words, perhaps they must live out an existential perspective, because other paths of political expression are essentially locked up.

Related, I wonder about the locus of control with regard to crypto. Who is managing their interface to their crypto, which intelligence agencies from other nations may be effectively overseeing it, etc.

Not to dispute their sovereignty, but I'd imagine the latent vulnerability level would be extremely high if the crypto position is anything near significant enough to threaten key political negotiation parameters.
Apparently a lot of the UK's wind power is wasted because they're forced to stop the turbines when there's too much wind. I guess we could be doing something with that excess energy, not sure if Bitcoin mining is the best option though.
Maybe someone should assemble and open-source a license plate reader we can all carry — crowd-source pushing packets to a web site where cars + licenses are displayed on a map.

No tech is too complex if it brings enough profit. I'm certain about delivery bots, for they already exist.

In addition I was about to add:

How about the manager not use their internal prejudices to influence their decision and hide behind a thin veil of “what about my employees” and actually let their employees LEARN how to correctly interact with transgendered, queer, ethnically diverse co-workers and possibly come out of their cotton-wool lined shells.

It is bizarre. Here in California you didn't used you buy a car with plates at all. Then they started to require paper temporary ones.

Why they don't just have plates fitted on the lot I don't know. I can't see how it saves any time, the dealer would just have to have the plate ready for each car like in most of the world. It seems that the simplest solution was too hard to implement.
