Other way around, screen addiction and social atomization can and does cause mental health problems and make existing mental health problems worse.

There are also a lot of mental health problems not caused by these things. :)
This feels like trying to write Haskell code in Python. If that’s how you want to code, why not just write it in Haskell?
Totally uninformative article.

What "misuse"?

This is more of a sound bite than news, there's no information content...
We need a better solution for housing in general. I don't actually want to be a landlord very much. I have a 7-figure portfolio including two rental properties, and I still rent. I'm not sure I could ever convince myself to buy in the bay area until/unless I had a substantially larger portfolio ($20M+). The numbers just don't add up.
As this is clearly something people have preferences for, the only clear solution I can see is to stick to mass nouns for table names. Refactoring everything into words like "sand", "air", "rice", "bread", and similar words may be a challenge, but you'll never have to decide on singular or plural nouns!
Just use SML (Standard ML)?
Would it be fair to just let the Brazilian government have its way with how these services are consumed within their country?
Even with plain Javascript, `Infinity % 2` evaluates to `NaN`, as it should.

And if you implement, e.g.:

function IsEven(x) { return x % 2 == 0; }
function IsOdd(x) { return x % 2 == 1; }

Then IsEven(Infinity) == false and IsOdd(Infinity) == false, as expected.
It's my understanding it's a little more complicated than that and still went through the FDIC.

Apparently the FDIC funds are not entirely liquid either so the fed extended them a short-term loan to provide the liquidity. At the end of the day the shortfall on the sale got covered by the FDIC funds and the loan from the FED came through on the basis of the FDICs fund and the fact that they then owned all of SVBs assets(they were named the receiver).

The FDIC managed the entire thing, backed all the maneuvers with their 128bn fund, is independent and reports to the POTUS, and is entirely funded by deposit insurance fees on the financial industry. The FED had its own opinions on the whole situation I'm sure, and provided a short-term liquidity loan to the FDIC, but it's a bit misleading IMHO they way their involvement is discussed.
do you know if the legacy system is still in use?

my first 'nice' car had lojack installed in it. i remember it was about $200, and that's all, but this was 10+ years ago. i wonder if it's still out there...

> compiling an argument that Jesus did not exist seems like one of the most obvious routes to take for a nonbeliever seeking to discredit Abrahamic religions, so I hardly think the historicity of Jesus is something of interest only to religious historians.

There are more obvious routes to discrediting religious belief systems than searching for definitive proof that a particular individual 2000 years ago definitely didn't exist, something experts on the period would struggle to prove conclusively for Brian the Very Naughty Boy!

The argument works better flipped on its head: proving the existence of the historical Jesus is of the utmost importance to the predominant belief systems of the Western World that preserved, transcribed or found the historical records throughout most of history and founded the academic institutions that studied them, and they believe his impact upon humanity was seismic. So far, they haven't found a single contemporary textual reference to his existence but have managed to allow the earliest and most detailed known source describing him to slip out of existence, and adulterate what might have been the most impressive secular reference to his existence. And all the purported physical evidence of his existence in the form of "holy relics" that have been scrutinised have failed the test

Absence of primary source material or detailed secular accounts is not evidence of absence of the historical Jesus, but it is evidence that the "historical consensus" really doesn't have much to go on, and consists mostly of people with a keen interest in Biblical texts (apart from the New Testament there's not much evidence to study) not finding anything that particularly conflicts with their faith.

> your final comments seem like a disingenuous comparison when you yourself point out the difference in standards we have when talking about the existence of figures in ancient history vs. the 19th century

The difference in standards we have means we can't conclusively prove that minor historical figures referred to in legends did or didn't exist, not that we must abandon scepticism about religious texts and others' references to them if the belief is much older.

Seems a bit disingenuous to accuse someone of making a "disingenuous comparison" whilst you yourself point out that I explicitly acknowledged the differences...
This is why one should go with `$APP_User` or append `$APP` to generic sounding classes/tables. It's a slight inconvenience.

Or maybe get into the habit of wrapping your table/column names with backticks to tell the query language of choice that you're not referring about the keyword.
Well, I'm all for WFH because it completely erases these kinds of issues.

That being said, the level of judgement you're laying against people who partake in happy hour would make most people uncomfortable and would be considered stressful and not relaxing.
I'm not sure what to switch to at this point... disabling the shopping suggestions, fine.. but this bing sidebar and the giant button, even if you disable the ever-present mode is annoying to say the least.

I really liked edge, but that didn't last long... I'm trying to minimize the Google in my life as well, beyond search which is less and less useful itself. Not sure what to use. Keep seeing Vivaldi mentioned, and I do use Brave on my phone.

And no, I don't find Firefox "good" ... I do like having bookmarks and plugins sync'd though. Anyone have an extension that syncs bookmarks... I keep my passphrases in Bitwarden, not the browser as it is.
Surely you understand that happening to see a woman's nipple is completely different to a 14 year old sitting up at 4am masterbating to whatever intense porn they can get their hands on are two completely different things. And if you think the latter is bad, as you should, then it makes sense to err on the side of caution when figuring out a way to reduce the likelihood of a young person, who has not fully developed a sense of self control, getting sucked into the wormhole of a porn addiction. If that means reducing the likelihood of an innocent breast being seen, then that seems like a reasonable trade-off.

Also, you say Europe is more open about nudity, implying that is a good thing, but Asia and the middle east are in many cases more prudish than even the US, so why not look to them or use them as an example? Where's your objective measure for which societies we should admire and emulate?
"Chop Shop" was a follow up to the series "Bangla Bangers" [1]. It was more like a variant of Scrapheap Challenge and nothing to do with organized crime around stolen cars in the UK.

One example that I personally remember is when Gmail and Youtube is stopped working on Opera browser. But if you customize user agent to any other browser (like Firefox) it suddenly start to work. [1]

It happened decade ago tho.. Now Google is practically leader in web standards so there no need to use this practice anymore.

If you'd like to provide schemata, open standards and source code for them, then don't keep the class waiting.

Don't/can't? Then you're a fool trusting someone else to do something you yourself cannot inspect. Then again, most people seem to be oddly fine with that. I am not of that number.
Yes, this. Bitlocker could absolutely do this.

There's still other active attacks resulting from the BMC and BIOS and parts of the OS not also doing the encrypted session thing.
This comment is all over the place. “If they don’t want lawsuits, they shouldn’t have built a potentially explosive chemical plant on a space-constrained sites next to nature reserves”.

The FAA is the one being sued. Did the FAA choose where SpaceX built their site? SpaceX got all required approval. There was no known damage to wildlife. These people sue every time. It gets tossed every time. This lawsuit is purely symbolic and frankly irrelevant. If Elon Musk wasn’t tangentially related, there’d be no market for this article, nobody would write about it and nobody would care about this lawsuit like they don’t care about all the other baseless suits these groups file.
I actually know multiple people who were robbed and NYPD caught them when they used the victims metro card. Wild that thieves haven't realized that the cards can be tracked and the stations are under surveillance, but maybe that's why they turned to crime.
What if I want a tool that will help me with my own creativity? I never said I wanted randomly generated AI art. I just want a tool that will help me create when I'm not a cinematographer, actor, editor, or any of those things. Why can't I have the augmented intelligence assistance I'm looking for? Not sure I understand this perspective on technology and tools.
It's not just Android.

Unfortunately.
Sometimes, but it very much depends on the context (no pun intended). If it's a pure syntax issue, OpenAI models will almost certainly make the right correction. If it's more abstract, like the LLM has hallucinated a property that is invalid as part of some larger schema you can quickly descend into the LLM gaslighting you into saying that it has fixed things when it hasn't.
That matches my expectations given this was just announced. However, if it's still true this time next week, that'll be some :facepalm:
Where were these guys when Twitter was helping shut up American citizens? They're now free speech advocates suddenly? There is no mention of the Twitter files in this article.
> All else being the same, priority should be given to research which is grounded in solid experiment design and a firm grasp on statistic.

Agencies like DARPA exist primarily to counter this line of thinking. We built the atomic bomb by building a bunch of facilities out in the middle of nowhere and letting scientists just kind of make it up as they went along.

I hope you genuinely understand the difference between measuring bumps on ones head and well established scientific instruments that allow you to take measurements inside the body. MRIs are not some sort of witchcraft that should be distrusted.
Today you see four antennas on police cars for digital diversity reception, originally desirable for minimizing multipath issues but today just about required for P25 "phase II" operation of multiple repeaters on the same channel. These are usually 900MHz radios, one of the factors in the decline of traditional Lojack was many police departments shifting to 900MHz for P25 and no longer equipping all vehicles with VHF radios. Depending on the department, vehicles may not have any radio capable of receiving Lojack transponders. Whether or not they're programmed for it is also a question.

When direction finding was used Doppler DF based on multiple antennas was rare due to the high cost of the electronics package, which also consumed a lot of trunk space. Most police departments did it the old fashioned way with a handheld log periodic they waved around. Another part of the decline of the original Lojack system was the high price of providing good DF receivers to police departments, so not many had them. LoJack never got big into having their own DF "hunters" on staff like other companies using transponders did.
okay, sure and probably half a dozen other systems you don't have access to. this is wholesale debt brokering, it's not available on a public website that you found on google with creative out-of-the-box keywords like "best mortgage rate <zipcode>"

the first step to not being a mark is understanding what you don't know, and working with people who do. you may still get marked to a certain degree, but at least you'll end up with a 2.x% interest rate like i did and no messages from the computer saying "you're too poor to buy this product, so run along now little man" when it clearly isn't true.
Funny seeing this after I cancelled my Chegg subscription earlier today because GPT-4 is a substantial alternative. Chegg costs $17 a month, ChatGPT+ is $20. GPT writes my essays, helps me code, and offers support with my math homework[1]. So why Chegg?

Watching Others Eat Junk Food Can Suppress Appetite Help Lose Weight
Not for me. It's by far the most annoying thing any OS can do, especially that (I think?) every single fucking one have not figured out that it is NEVER desirable to steal focus from app user is currently typing into

In I3 at least it just highlights window and workspace if it is not on currently active workspace, instead of switching focus, so you know app wants something but don't get diverter.

Only thing that should be able to is app that you're using opening another window. There is no case focus stealing of different app is desirable and couldn't be just a notification.

Reddit is one part of the web. It's a privately controlled company. It should never have accumulated as much importance as it has. We need to design the next Reddits so they're credibly neutral parts of the internet with their own, distributed controls.
I didn't know better and after experiencing the consequences of my father loafing through life, I was determined to work hard. I was 18 and working my way through college (couldn't get loans or family aid). I grew up in right-to-work states, but went to college in a union state, so I wasn't really familiar with the dynamics.
From what I've read/heard from others, if they try and replace those people with Watson-based AI, they'll need to hire another 10,000 consultants to try and implement it.

Also it seems that associating a file type with a program also change its icon, you cannot have separate icon and file association.

For example, I want a separate icon for .txt .py .cpp, and all open them with sublime text. I tried many things, but I just gave up. Once I associate with ST again, it sets to another icon.

There are really few things holding me back to windows, really.

I wish there was some way to get Chinese karaoke songs in the US apart from spending hundreds on importing a physical karaoke machine. All the apps such as 全民K歌 are region-locked, and the songs on YouTube vary in quality --- they often do not have properly timed lyrics and are rarely the instrumental version without the vocals, and newer or less popular songs are nowhere to be found at all.
I don't. In a fight we all as end users lose. Competition is beneficial to the end user, fighting, where they sabotage each other or bar each other or their own apps from platforms is not.

Did end users benefit when YouTube was blocked from being used on Amazon Firesticks? Did they benefit when Roku and HBO were feuding and you couldn't use HBO Max on Roku devices?

Be careful what you wish for.
If they could implement this on an open protocol, that'd be great too. The last thing I need is some proprietary cloud service that goes down twice a month to start my car.

I think the disconnect here is that in the U.S. "poor" encompasses a whole universe of relative incomes and experiences. I grew up poor as a kid, but for the most part never thought much about food. Some days maybe all I could scrounge together would be toast + butter, but I rarely if ever felt deprived.

Except during one of our homeless stints, when we were staying with a family my mother met through (I think) a church program. We stayed at their house for only two weeks or so. My mother was working most of that time, and the wife made meals for her children, myself, and my little sister. It seemed like all we ever ate (or at least they let us eat--maybe they were worried we'd eat too much, though there wasn't much of anything else in the cupboards) was Bisquick pancakes. I was constantly hungry. I had never felt hunger like that before. And as a kid the situation felt so bizarre because this family lived in what seemed to me to be a beautiful, modern apartment (in retrospect, probably recently constructed public housing), yet they seemingly had no food. Also, the son was younger than me but weighed significantly more than I did--I was skinny but well within normal weight and height.

Fast forward about 15 years and as a young adult working in SF I became acquainted with a struggling older woman with a teenage daughter, and I'd sometimes drive her around town if she needed a lift--e.g. needed to make an appointment. (I forgot how we met, but growing up there was never anything strange about strangers helping out, and somehow I found myself on the other side of the situation and just went with it.) One time she invited me over to her apartment for dinner to thank me, and out comes a box of Bisquick and a dinner composed of Bisquick-related dishes.

Even today, in neither case can I really comprehend why Bisquick figured so prominently. I mean, from a dollar-and-cents standpoint, I can see the value, but I'm like 70% confident that in both cases neither families had no alternative but Bisquick. OTOH, you can't really second guess those decisions on the spot, and those periods are just snapshots in time. OTOOH, that doesn't imply people are making the most rational decisions.

In any event, I guess the moral of the story is that there's an immense diversity of experiences even at the bottom of the income and wealth brackets, and we should be cautious drawing broad conclusions one way or another.
They have a voltage fault injection attack on the SP. That's game over, never mind the fTPM.
Yeah, they have quite a sad understanding of their bargaining power.

1. Their job easily replaceable by any english speaking, high school educated worker on a planetary level.

2. There is almost no capital expenditure to setup a 'moderation centre', just setup a bunch of computers in an office and you are done. So workers don't have leverage over a company that is unwilling to move.

3. AI will annihilate probably 80% of the offshore call center business in a few years, the workers laid off from call centers, can 1-1 slot into these AI-RL training jobs. Heck AI will also annihilate 80% of those offshore moderation jobs for say facebook. So more competition.

Frankly, the AI companies doesn't even need to move to another country, they can just hire non-unionized workers in those same african countries. When they will do this, depends on when the union asks for too high of a wage.

The most optimistic outcome, is the unions try to work with the AI companies in asking for better conditions, but not neccessarily much better wages. Overplay their hand and they will fail.

it took me about five seconds to find a $2300 2bedroom apartment for rent in brooklyn. it's more optimal to rent this and roomate with a friend for split rent, but if you absolutely have to live alone you can probably get down to $1800 for a studio.
That researcher was Ian Carroll, who created a new "Stripe, Inc" company in Kentucky, a clone of the one registered in Delaware, and was therefore able to get an EV certificate issued for his new company that looked very similar to one issued for the Delaware company.
