In the 15-24 age group VAERS reports 14 deaths. That is not cause by vaccine, but deaths in the months following vaccination, including suicides and infections.

These death totals do not substantially pass the baseline for expected deaths in that population. In none of these cases has spike protein been observed on heart tissue, which is the potential vector for vaccine induced myocarditis and can be performed visually under standard microscopy.
Depends on the community. If you’re dealing with people who themselves are paid in cash, usually under the table, then it’s very common to have your rent paid in cash.

I'm all for a shorter working week, but this would have a better chance if it was arguing for shorter days rather than another day off. That would be easier for companies to handle and would also be better for parents since they can have some extra time with their kids EVERY day and not just one day.

The only thing Musk has achieved at twitter is accelerating the exodus of users from the platform, and the fracturing of the "microblogging" space. If things continue as they are now, there won't be much of value left at Twitter.
They nicely provide an anchor point for reference on how much money is held in accounts:

> 9.45 trillion euros held in current, or checking, accounts at banks across the euro zone.

Deutsche Bank, one of the examples, reported higher reductions in deposits, offers 0.4% interest with no daily access. [1, 19th of April]

One of the popular directs banks (DKB) offers 1% [2]

A popular free trading platform (trade republic) offers 2% for uninvested money [3]

So I wonder what the overall change in deposits actually is compared to those 9.45 trillion euros, it doesn't seem that surprising when the big examples in the articles have the lowest interest. Are people also leaving the higher interest banks?

Indie developer and large corporations like Nintendo are not fungible. Anyway, indie developers chose their plight. Most of them don't really make money so it's pretty clear they don't do it trying to strike rich. Plenty fund themselves through means which are not linked to copyright like kickstarter.

The fact that the system currently relies on copyright is not in itself a justification for it nor does it means it's a good system.

Do it, call it Human
For hundreds of thousands of years, pre-historic man became very skilled at cutting rocks in order to make stone age tools. Generations upon generations of early humans learned, worked on, and passed down to their children the way to perfectly smash rocks against each other in order to cut them into pointy shapes. In this way they made arrow heads, knives, axes, and so on. It's hard to believe, but this primitive technology was revolutionary.

When metal working developed, all of the hundreds of thousands of years of skill in making stone tools was meaningless - it had been superseded by new technology.

I don't care one iota about craftsmen who can no longer conduct their craft in the way they want because a better technology came around. If one person can make 1000 shoes a day while a cobbler can only make 5, this is great for society.

This is why we live in skyscrapers rather than huts. This is why I don't pay people to cut my grass with scissors.
In no particular order:

Age checks for porn sites: seems like if parents care about this, there are plenty of technological ways to restrict their children's access? Is there a gap between what's available as a technological intervention and parents' want?

Measures to clamp down on “anonymous trolls” by requiring that services give the option for users to verify their identity: for minors it seems like parents could restrict access to websites via technical means, for adults... don't use the website/app?

Criminalizing cyberflashing (aka the sending of unsolicited nudes via social media or dating apps): as long as this parallels in-person flashing law, this seems reasonable?

Cracking down on scam ads: not sure what this means, but fraud is fraud whether it's on the internet or not. This feels like more outsourcing of law enforcement to companies. If there are complaints about scam ads, then law enforcement should investigate, with subpoenas if needed, and prosecute. Does there need to be a separate law for this?
I read it very differently. Recent AI developments have headed us into crazy town, towards a enevitable seeming break down of our social structures. A “Fake news 2.0” amongst other challenges.

It’s ludicrous to watch our tech leaders release new AI models without ethical consideration or any form of reponsibility.

I work within a university and socially impactful research goes through rigorous ethics committees before being approved. Where was this with Open AI’s release of ChatGPT for example? Sam Altman just tweets after release words to the effect of, oh regulators should probably be considering the ethics around this. What a farce! Where are the ethics of those releasing these half baked tools?

Having the White House step in and provide leadership and bring it’s power to bear is totally appropriate and responsible in this moment.

Remember when Musk said he was buying Twitter to solve the problem of Authenticating the World? This may have been what he was talking about.

I think the widespread reluctance to talk much about the concept stems from the power given to the Authentication Authority, whoever they wind up being. They become the arbiter of who or what can participate in society almost instantly. We don't have anyone we trust that much.
World Password Day – Free tool for checking the cyber hygiene of any company
Happy World Password Day everyone, introducing an industry's first free Password Strength Tool!

Have you ever wondered what a company's cyber hygiene looks like to hackers? This tool we developed lets you check the strength of passwords used by employees and customers within any organization.

By analyzing data of compromised accounts from over 12,000,000 computers infected by info-stealers worldwide, the tool can determine which services follow password complexity standards and which ones need improvement.

Visit https://cavalier.hudsonrock.com/passwords to get started. Completely free, no registration.

Please share the tool to help us spread awareness about password security and keep everyone's sensitive information safe from cyber threats.
While I'm happy with WebGPU and other modern APIs, SVG has the potential to revolutionize the way we create and display graphics on the web. However, it seems that SVG's progress in the W3C has been slow, don´t know why. I mean, with its versatility and scalability, SVG could be perfect for many scenarios if it were modernized.
We have some DB servers that occasionally need to do very large batches of transactions. They run all month with a couple of CPU's, and a small amount of ram to make sure they are 'caught up' with production, and before the batches are run, get shutdown, and changed to 32 or 64 CPU monsters. An hour or two later, they go back to the 2 cpu servers again. In a non-cloud shop, we would have to size our hardware for that maximum batch size.

So in the event that i lost everything, i mean catastrophic, like my house burned to the ground with all my belongings, i have no kin nor "trust alternate people" configured for my account, my password manager requires my "synced in google/apple drive/cloud" passkey or my last known device, i can't retrieve it in anyway, how can i recover my account?

Either have to prove that m me to my account provider, which essentially is huge security hole since what data it will be required to prove might be more easy to fake (kinda like how people do sim swapping) and stole my passkey or do the "crypto thing", that if you lost your decryption key all your money is gone forever and ever and start fresh.

I mean my point is... password are not going to be deprecated, we had so many attempts to murder them but their convenience outmatch any other solutions, feels like passkey aren't well designed imho if the backup requires a password, then passwords won't be deprecated... maybe passkeys aren't meant to replace password but long-sessions oauth tokens if you ask me why passkeys exists.
What kind of AI do you want employed in a government setting that doesn't follow the policies of the government?

Additionally it sounds like the capital is net new. Which means if the government took no action, the would be no capital. Is it inappropriate for the government to offer programs to encourage things it wants?

At the other end of the spectrum, the government punishes companies that do things the administration doesn't like. In the middle, the government does nothing. It would seem to me that the alternative here is something everybody doesn't want, no?
Because freedom, you know.. socialism vs. capitalism.

No, those are deaths where a doctor has decided it was the cause, regardless of nonwitnessing internet commenters belief about their standards of judgement.

There were 3 deaths on my block, including a renowned weight lifter who was a daily staple at the gym.
Considering the preliminary outline of the AI BoR specifically states that AI models must be prevented from reaching conclusions or promulgating information the authors don't like, regardless of if the model has supporting information in it's training data, that result is almost certain.

> We should have to, though, because of freedom of speech. Graphic pornographic content is a different animal legally

"Legally" isn't really the question, as that's about what is rather than what ought to be.

That said, nobody has to listen, that's definitely not part of freedom of speech. They have to be allowed to listen, which is related but different.

And for what ought to be… well, christian religious commandments have included calls to burn people at the stake if they follow a different faith, and such calls have been listened to and acted on. Heck, I'm in at least four distinct groups people have used religious justifications to demonise.

If you think it won't happen to you, I'd add that sacred cows can be literal, so what happens when Hindu fundamentalism reaches your doorstep and some people call for you to be lynched for eating beef (which is a thing that has happened)? And unlike sexuality, you have a degree of control over the food you consume.

>Approximately nobody pays rent in cash in the US, either.

At least above a certain income level if they're not paying someone off the books or maybe splitting a bill with friends/family (and even that is often some digital payment or a check) cash is increasingly uncommon. I don't think I've withdrawn money from an ATM in a couple years. And, certainly rent/mortgage, it would be almost unheard of in most situations. No one wants to be handling thousands of dollars in cash in an urban area.
Shopify was the perfect place to bootstrap this [logistics] effort from 0 to 1 and we have done this. The next step is to take what we have and take it from 1 to N as a main quest.

Then he says they're selling to Flexport, an act which doesn't sound like a "main quest" at all ... it sounds like it's a difficult side quest being offloaded to someone else.

Horribly inefficient code is a wonderful thing at a small scale. The faster you solve your problem, the sooner you can solve the next problem.

I once threw together a mylar balloon helium blimp in the shape of a Dragon space capsule. My goal was to fly it over the cafeteria crowd at SpaceX during the C2 launch. For control, I used the PCB of a travel wifi router. I soldered three small DC motors to its LED outputs. The embedded software consisted of something like:

nc -l -u -p 10000 | bash

I then connected my laptop to the access point and ran a python script that would send UDP packets containing shell commands to toggle the LED GPIO pins based on arrow keypresses.

The crowd really enjoyed the novelty. After the excitement was over, I flew it around some more in the cafeteria. Elon Musk walked up to it floating in the air, paused for a few seconds, then looked around the room trying to find the operator. I was just like any other employee hanging out at a table casually typing on my laptop, though.

Good times. On my last day there I still had a helium tank under my desk. So, I filled up a life-sized Elmo balloon (a left over prototype), then let it float up into the rafters of the office. It was presumably up there for a month or two.
I suspect people at multiple points on the 'car cost ladder' look at everyone who has perched higher up on it with that same level of bafflement.

I have purchased a couple new cars in my life, but in the sub-$35k range. While, looking at the amount a payment would be on an $80,000 car, I'm aware I could definitely afford it -- especially at that 6-7 year term that is so popular now -- it is wild to me that anyone would derive enough marginal utility to justify the cost. I'll take my car plus a briefcase full of money over a Mercedes, thanks.

It's possible though that the person with that $80k car also thinks they're quite rational and only the person with the $150,000 car is a lunatic.

> it is just resistance from even larger corporations to pay a share of their profits to content creators.

It's also largely about who has pull in government to reroute $$ from one corporation to another. CBC type outlets have plenty of backers in Canadian gov that pull this sort of thing off. Similar to the Canadian film industry being propped up by government.

The costs to consumers isn't always just they have to pay more or not. It's about what content they won't get (legal) access to. Similar to the difference between chilling speech vs censorship. There's so many small products/services you don't get as Canadians, that are freely available in the US and other countries, often for tenuous long-forgotten reasons.
...I think it's reasonable to point out that end-to-end encryption is particularly important for children, and that to the degree that its adoption is negatively impacted or hamstrung by the statutory and regulatory environments (even in situations that are partly well-meaning, as is perhaps the case here), children are likely to suffer disproportionately.

The social and political impact of mass surveillance and secret targeted profiling of human behaviors is unlikely to dramatically change the trajectories of the lives of people who are today adults, even if it may impact the way our state functions. But for children, having a massive corpus of data on their ever preference, with which to manipulative them as consumers and voters, forever? This is an existential threat to their ability to mature into free-thinking adults.

I don't mind 'think of the children' arguments; but they need to actually rationally consider the impact on children in the first place.
To be fair, many, many corporations start out as a tiny kernel of something that solves a problem for people, and then metastasize into "extract maximum revenue from maximum number of people" cancer once Wall Street takes over. So, honestly, you can generalize this to "bad for corporations" ~= "good for society."

A topic for another discussion is why society allows corporations to become parasitic and cancerous without any checks or balances.
More public money going to a private company to make private profits?
I'm a bit confused about this quibble when the article text is about "Self and Smalltalk", not just Self? If anything the quibble should be "why is the section called Self when it's about the _two_ ur languages Self (the ur language for prototype based OO) and Smalltalk (the ur language for class based OO)"?
RC is GC, but without cleaning up cyclic references. In general, leaking memory is not a security problem (and with a good debugger it is trivial to fix), so I don’t think it is too important a property. Leaking every cyclic reference is a bit more of a problem, but it has solutions like the occasional tracing phase like with a “traditional”, mark’n’sweep GC, but at that point why not just go with them as they are much more performant?
There are much higher rates available for brokered deposits via Raisin or Zinspilot. These are also with banks. They're just less well-known banks and not typically in the countries which have the most and richest savers.

I always thought that the "message passing" style of OO (which I always hated as a term, because it implies asynchronicity, but I digress) is firmly something else than the "classes and interfaces" style of OO, and that it's an unfortunate accident of history that we give them the same name.
The issue with any other board is that the boards aren't going to have all the same ports and compatibility so you'd have to have potentially two largely separate forks of the cores and accessories which would be tough in a relatively small community like the Mister. For example your board doesn't have the large pin headers used by basically every Mister accessory so at a minimum you'd need an adaptor to go from some other port on your board to the pinouts that the mister ecosystem is built on.
Land ownership makes total sense, the article is like an apology of utopian socialism. The main issue with those approaches (socialist variants, communism) vs something like capitalism is that they are not robust.

Capitalism assumes ill-intentions (i.e. everyone for themselves trying to maximize wellbeing) and creates a distribution mechanism that is robust in the presence of bad actors while still allowing altruism.

Utopian socialism and it's variants assume everyone is perfectly altruistic, which makes it extremely fragile. So a single bad actor can abuse the system in detriment of everyone else.

Ownership is such a basic instinct (i.e. protecting your resources) that it's biological in nature and I doubt you can successfully thwart it.
Blade Runner was vague about how much of a replicant was synthetic. My interpretation was that they were biological.

We are at the cusp of creating life forms that can suffer (biological and digital). It will be irrelevant if they are made from neurons or transistors. We will still be responsible.

I recently negotiated terms on behalf of a group of laid off employees, and one item I pushed on was that they get to keep their laptop. The company said that wouldn't be possible for everyone, because many laptops were leased, and so were not the company's to give. In those cases, they would be given a different but equivalent device.

Lots of possible reasons.
Not sure what that was supposed to mean, I was just pointing out that this is part of a State-vs-State propaganda battle.

That doesn’t make this article any less interesting, to the contrary.
