An ethics class doesn't make you ethical, no more than a criminology class makes you a criminal. Ethics isn't about making you ethical ( though it may ), it's about studying the history and principles of ethics. It's about giving you the foundation to reason about ethics.

Try the trolley problem. Is it okay to divert a trolley to kill 1 innocent person to save 10? What about 5? What about 1? And this is just an abstract thought problem. Now try war, nukes, abortion, death penalty, etc. Everyone has a simplistic and superficial idea of ethics. An ethics class helps you develop a deeper and broader understanding of ethics. To develop the what and why of ethics.
I don't have information about the type of communication link. I shouldn't have called it a radio link. Acoustic probably makes more sense. It was something very slow, so that sounds right.
>But I do see a lot of sentiments around the web saying things like "look how good phosh/kde/XYZ is running on the PP, wow, such speed, many responsiveness" - even though it is objectively not running good when tried in person. Such statements can definitely trick users who just want a novelty phone - they read these reviews, and think that finally there is a viable alternative.

Either you're saying those reviews are lying / wrong, in which case the problem is not the product but the reviews, or you're saying those reviews are accurate but don't reflect the use case of the buyer for whatever reason, in which case it's not the problem of the product nor the reviews.

In my very first comment I said that he was welcome to come onto the IRC etc and ask if the phone can do X, Y, Z that he needs it to do, and he would've gotten an honest answer for that. You've decided that you don't even want to do that because you've been soured from the community for whatever reason, and frankly I don't care to convince you otherwise.

In the same way, AndyKelley spending a $1000+ without doing the research and then whining about it is his loss, not mine. Even in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36414414 he's still going on about "The issue with librem is that they [Purism] put very little effort into the basic user experience of the software." because he thinks it's an iPhone or Android that only has one choice of OS or UI.
"Probably people can guess why ..."

I cannot guess why, and now I'm super-duper curious. Why area they called naughty-boy shoes?

I think they have made it easier recently.

Also Australian, my dad (70) came to me a month ago really stressed out about signing up for Prime accidentally. I managed to cancel it for him, which wasn't too hard, 3 or 4 pages where you have to click the right button to continue.

I think designs like what Amazon does here are easily navigable by us, but anyone who's not great at computers will struggle.

My Dad was adamant that he chose the delivery option without Prime, which is why this situation was really stressful for him...
I might have misunderstood them, but I tried to argue that I was indeed converting units. Namely, 1 inch + 1 cm = 1.254 in (cm->in implicitly converted).

Also, defining a Hz as 2pi/s seems to be mixing units and quantities, like a Hz is 2 [pi/s] (where [] stores units), where pi is a unit equal to 6.28 [unitless]. Intead, defining a Hz as 2pi/s is to me changing the definition of Hz, unless it's like 2pi / 2pi [1 / s].
>You could also define one rad/s as 1/(2pi s)
I was, specifically 1/2pi [1/s].

But as to your point that things like Hz are semi-meaningless unless attached to physical concepts, I'll agree with that (using a potentially different definition of semi-meaninglessness.)

My original statement that 1 Hz + 1 radian/second (i.e. 1 [1/s] + 1/2pi [1/s]) is both physical (semi-meaningless, meaning somewhat meaningful and fully meaningful when we flexibly attach it to a large range of physical concepts) and non nonsense (again, semi-meaningless until we attach to a physical concept) I think still hold.

The key to me is that we can attach physical concepts to units and measures flexibly (but not arbitarily). Hz is indeed applicable to non-sin functions, like square waves, but then we're all of the sudden talking about "the Hz of the nth harmonic of the square wave" (which has loads of relationship to angles).
Maybe your objection works for a relativist who makes claims like "one ought to tolerate moral practices of other cultures". But I don't think all relativists are making that claim. Some are just rejecting any notion of objective moral truth.
Another poster [1] gives the answer: their children's report cards looked great, and they had no idea how poorly they were doing until they got standardized test results.

I'm sorry that they're a "drag", but standardized tests are the only way to tell if children are learning or if they're just being gifted grades, and the only way to compare children across different schools. As much as that article wants to blame them on racism, nearly every country in the world uses them, and there's a reason for that.

> Allow us to execute corporations and we have a deal

Fine, you dissolve the charter. What now? What happens to the entity’s assets? Its debts? Every proposal for a “corporate death penalty” is expropriation or fining, except with extra steps. Hell, if a regular threatened you with a fine and you could pull a “corporate death” card, why wouldn’t you do it?
>Except that moral relativism ultimately boils down to a universal axiom of "One ought behave in a manner aligning with the moral framework of their setting", offering an inherent contradiction with the belief that there aren't axiomatic ethical rules.

Except it doesn't. Moral relativism doesn't make any claims about the way one should behave. It's entirely consistent with a moral relativist point of view to oppose commonly accepted morality. Moral relativism merely asserts that there is no absolute arbiter of good and evil, no immutable arc of history towards freedom, no inalienable right. Everything is a matter of opinion and consensus, and consensus is always fluid.
There's a harpsichord in my family. The traditional harpsichord had a wooden frame, thus the materials just weren't stable.

An American maker, John Challis, developed a harpsichord using modern materials, that stays in tune for much longer.

They didn't take as long to tune, as mentioned above, because the historic temperaments were easier if you knew what you were doing, and there were no unisons (multiple strings per note) to get into agreement. Before the age of the modern piano, keyboard players had to tune their own instruments, so it was just part of learning to play.
Oh, it's live and well, and compensated very well.

Just an example, TwoSetViolins did a live concert of some classical music pieces (no copyright would exist on them at this time and age) and their YouTube video got millions of views. A French music company did a DMCA claim against them and YouTube took down their video and transferred their ad money to the music company. They fought to get their video back. But but the kicker was that the music company got to keep the ad revenue generated during the dispute period, which was most of the money as many event based videos got most of their views from the initial release time frame due to promotion of the events by the video creators. Not sure what the eventual outcome was. As you can see, even if the false claims have failed, the DMCA filers still got a part of the money. The incentive is completely skewed.
> in a crisis it can become false for some people

it depends on what the crisis is, and whether this same crisis also makes people believe that the US gov't will not hold.
“JavaScript: the good parts” is an excellent but dense introduction to javascript circa 2008, and “JavaScript and jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development“ released in 2013 was originally how I got into web development, with its unique visual approach to explaining jquery’s features.

So it’s with a heavy heart, I must announce the death of JavaScript.

What makes you think so? If you've got a background in programming languages, maybe you'll roll your eyes at Guido not getting reduce or tail recursion, or CPython's unsophisticated runtime and under-specified/messy semantics, or whatever, but I'm kind of struggling to see why you'd be particularly down on python compared to other languages that (in the average case) have non-negative utility for software development.

Every time Quest 2 comes up on HN people whine about it basically playing PS3 games or glorified mobile arcade system.

I personally love it, RE4 VR and the month I spent VR boxing every night was some of the most fun I’ve had gaming recently. But there’s limits to that sort of thing, especially which games get ported and VR’d. Apple doesn’t even need a suite of A+ games to get people to buy it, I don’t remember them showing any games in the launch.

I get why Apple pushed it up higher in the market. The first two years will be for developers and very early adopters.

This is like buying an expensive monitor/TV/casual gaming device baked into one.

Hell there’s people who buy $2000 TVs, even though most people buy the $500 ones. This is way more capable than just a new TV.
1) Tubi has ads.
2) I despise ads.
3) I have a nice disposal income.

Simple really. What surprises me is why you even asked the question as I'd have thought the sheer fact that Tubi is financed through adverts would make it obvious why people would choose to pay for their streaming desires.
the dmca takedown services are awful. They just do exact text match on titles of videos and submit dmca requests on behalf of the content owner. If you embed a video widget from the content owners official YouTube page on your blog for example and quote the title, often these services will still send a dmca request.

Even if you respond and say the complaint is invalid some services will still ban you for receiving too many requests.

Source: built a crappy content farm with video embeds. Received avalanche of requests.

It’s hard to cry about my case in particular since it was just a dumb content farm. But ops post is another example of this terrible software and legal process having wider implications.

For that, I posit the system would need to understand the existing code base. Not just what the code does, but the intent and the why. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide whether they believe LLMs understand anything. I know where I stand.

That seems to be the point. Sure, anyone can inject their own noise into the initial image, but the best place to be for that would be the people hosting the model.

"ddos" via DMCA requests is an actual thing. There are actual methods that a few ddos-as-a-service providers provide (aka booters or stressers) that will fling tons of DMCA/abuse reports at your hosting/cloud provider to get them to take action on you.
> You cite these as drawbacks, and I consider them all to be advantages.

Why would they be advantages? Working more slowly and cautiously might be advantageous in some cases, but being forced to do so because otherwise your program might die a horrible death seems hard to justify as advantageous. Unless you're treating it as a sort of extreme sport, like rock climbing without a rope.
A few reasons: 1) people don't know about Tubi, 2) the pervasive ads, 3) there's no guarantee that tomorrow or next week or whenever, Tubi won't go the way of Soap2Day. Of course, as another commenter pointed out, Tubi might not be available in your country.

From what I understand, the levels you are taking could be dangerous depending on individual so such levels should only be done after verifying Vitamin D levels.
Fitness influencers and podcasters took the Vitamin D story and ran with it to extremes. The number of people who think more is better with vitamin D or assume that their levels are severely low without checking is scary.

Taking a nominal amount of Vitamin D is probably a good idea for those of us who spend a lot of time indoors. Taking 10s of thousands of IUs every day for years is probably a bad idea for anyone who isn’t regularly checking their Vitamin D levels.

Yeah the amount of people comparing this to $1000 gaming headsets you have to plug into a $2k computer claiming it’s way too expensive for the (current) market really seems to be missing the point.

I don’t think Apple spent any time at all talking about games during the launch. This is a general computing device not simple an entertainment one. Nor is it a mass market product like a Quest 2 (yet).

But yeah $3.5k is not a lot to spend for businesses either.

I could see every music producer wanting one as soon as some production software gets VRized. And some novel synth UIs get invented. $3k isn’t much in the Music gear world.

Depends on your definition of trouble.

You can counterclaim that the content you're sharing is in fact fair use or otherwise not infringing, the original claiming party has some time to sue you, and if they don't, you can sue them for damages caused by the takedown.

Indeed, arenas are not a new invention, but to quote a knowledgeable friend who's been around longer than us:

> you can find, for example, spolsky writing about [arenas] in 2003

Game engine, embedded, and OS people certainly knew about them. But this is the crucial point:

> it's possible for many people to know/use them, and also for most people not to know/use them

I grew up on Linux forum boards -- with lots of greybeards writing C -- and I was never once exposed to arenas (or bump / linear allocators.)

In school we wrote programs in C, and professors never challenged the forests of mallocs: despite most bugs stemming from them.
The claim that "when you look at the Pacific Ocean on a globe, you only see water" is incorrect.

I've seen a few attepts to make this claim appear as if it were real. Like the image in the article, it's just a perspective projection from a low altitude.

If you actually grab a globe, you'll see there is no way to cut it in half with only water on one side. If there were a way to do that, we could save a lot of money on globes by just not making that half.

The better critique is from one of the authors of the agile manifesto, who recommends a shift in language:

> I don’t think anyone could object to a ban on the word when it is used as a noun. That’s just plain wrong. “Do Agile Right” and “Agile for Dummies” are just two of the innumerable attacks on the English language featuring the word. They are meaningless. Agile is not a noun, it’s an adjective, and it must qualify something else. “Do Agile Right” is like saying “Do Orange Right.”

> But, beyond the grammar problem, there’s a bigger issue. Once the Manifesto became popular, the word agile became a magnet for anyone with points to espouse, hours to bill, or products to sell. It became a marketing term, coopted to improve sales in the same way that words such as eco and natural are. A word that is abused in this way becomes useless—it stops having meaning as it transitions into a brand.
