Just contact your ISP to get a public IP. You might not get a static IP, but you can configure a dhcp client to request your old IP when reconnecting after a power outage. Set DNS TTL reasonably low like 12 hours so that you can recover if you do get another IP.

Another way is to signup for a cheap VPS and use a tunnel to your home server. There's lots of really cheap VPS's with 128MB of memory that is plenty if you just want a tunnel.
The solution is to never have the agency giving the fine benefiting from the fine.

The best solution (and, no, I'm not joking) would be destroy all funds raised in government fines, nationwide. Send the fines directly to the Federal Reserve balance sheet.

Fines generally suck anyway, because they allow people that can easily afford them to break the law.

When my mum came down with Alzheimer's, she forgot how the abstract concept of left worked.

I'd heard of the problem (inability to perceive a side) existing in rare cases before she got ill, but it's such a bizarre thing that I had assumed it had to be misreporting before I finally saw it: she would eat food on the right side of her plate leaving the food on the left untouched, insist the plate was empty, but rotating the plate 180 degrees let her perceive the food again; she liked to draw and paint, so I asked her to draw me, and she gave me only one eye (on her right); I did the standard clock-drawing test, and all the numbers were on the right, with the left side being empty (almost: she got the 7 there, but the 8 was above the 6 and the 9 was between the 4 and 5).

When she got worse and started completely failing the clock drawing test, she also demonstrated in multiple ways that she wasn't able to count past five.

Now that there's legal precedent for this, I can't wait to sign my cellphone and internet contracts with emojis when they're up for renewal to see if they'll accept them - somehow I doubt it.

Pictures are ambiguous. A response like "I will deliver X amount of flax to you at Y price" and not delivering months later would be grounds for a lawsuit, but a picture of a thumbs up? Nah.

Maybe I'm getting old, but it seems so foolish to apply legal power to a picture of a thumbs up when an eggplant colloquially means "penis" and a leaf means "weed".

It would be harder for the government to censor speech if their were more diverse venues for speech, yes.

But the real issue - the matter before the Court - is whether the government is abusing its power by directing the venues to stifle one type of speech and promote another. An injunction is issued when a judge deems the plaintiff likely to succeed on the merits, and the harm inflicted by the defendant’s actions in the meantime to not be redressable.

You're really mixed up here. This is the text of the 1st Amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

When a person who works for the government is acting in their official capacity, they are the government. In that case the 1st Amendment prohibits them from abridging a private citizen's freedom of speech.

When that same person is acting as a private citizen, they are protected from their speech being abridged by the government.

People at work in their government jobs, using government equipment and email addresses, with government signatures are 100% the government, not private citizens.
Margins go up when firms have pricing power. This happens when demand outstrips supply. The system is set up to raise prices to allocate that supply to whoever values it most. You can argue for different systems of allocation, but right now we use capitalism, and it’s working as intended.

We can also argue about why demand is outstripping supply. Are monopolies keeping out competitors and artificially limiting supply? In some industries probably.

But we did dump a ton of money via fiscal stimulus into a system that was already stretched thin due to supply chain disruptions. That seems like the most likely explanation for the broad inflation we’re experiencing, though consolidation has likely exacerbated the problem.

Personally, I don't care what language people use. We all know that if you have money, you can just throw in more servers. Until your CFO and CTO decided that the next big thing is to do "Cost Saving" (in the eye of recession).

I tried this a bunch of years back, though across the river in Jersey City. I moved to a building that was an enclave of sorts that had zero street parking. You could of course pay for the garage to the tune of ~150 a month at the time. I had a motorcycle, and realized that I could park it across the street from my office building a few blocks away, and a ticket for street cleaning was $20. They would ticket me every other week, so $40/month in total. I guess someone got sick of my shenanigans despite me paying the tickets off promptly each time I received one, and one day my bike was taken to bike jail. Maybe some tickets blew off, but I think they were just done with me, and it cost me $500 to get it back. I sold the bike shortly after, I had acquired a serious girlfriend, and was using it for trips home and to the beach (both about 30 miles away), and there was no way I was going to make her sit on the back of a crotch rocket that long.

However, I did pull a similar stunt in lower Manhattan for awhile too, though I moved my bike on street cleaning days- though to another illegal spot by my office building- at that point I was living in Battery Park and my office was right off the west side highway in Tribeca, and I never had a single issue doing that.

Fun fact, early abolitionists marketed maple sugar as a replacement for cane sugar, since cane sugar was made by slaves while maple sugar was made by northern farmers.

So the old grading system rated the lighter colored plainer sugars and syrups higher than the darker more flavourful varieties. Since less maple flavour made for a better all-purpose sweetener and a more direct competitor to cane sugar.

Nowadays we usually use maple syrup for the flavour, so the grading system is non-judgemental that way. And the darker grades are more likely what you want.

Because putting fluoride in water leads to demonstrably better outcomes than just expecting parents to get kids to brush their teeth. Fluoride has no empirical impact on anything other than positive health outcomes. It would be dumb not to use it.

Returning a 200 response for a resource that doesn't exist is wrong.

The correct response code would be a 3XX or 4XX response code, depending on the client behavior that you want.

In this specific case, a 303 response that redirects to the homepage would be most correct.

Alternatively, you could return a 404 response alongside the default content.
No, that is stupid. People just don't want you to write comments like

// Set foo to true
foo = true;

Somebody saw one too many comments like that and overreacted. As long as you a) don't write comments describing what is self evident from the code, and b) try to make the code as descriptive as possible, then it's fine. Comment away.
yeah there's a lot of fashion trends that this industry follows and it drives me insane.

> this data is not even a century old

The instrumental temperature record is typically considered to start in 1850 so I am not sure what do you mean by "this data". But 100 or 200 hardly matters.

What I meant is while we don't have day-to-day precise data, we don't quite need it because the global temperature doesn't change that much and we do have some ideas -- paleoclimatologists are crafty -- and if the surface would have heated like now that would have had long term effects and we haven't seen any.

So yes, we can, with a reasonable confidence say it has not been this hot for centuries.

My complaint is about the government removing speech from social networks, even if they did so with just a wink and a hint.

And I don't understand the argument that the social networks' willingness to cooperate makes the government's actions more acceptable.

That's a bit like allowing the government to confiscate property without a trial, if the bank is cooperative.
I've seen people "fix" stuff by adding a "/>" as that's "better".

Other than that, I don't really care because as you mentioned it doesn't really matter. But the needless churn is a bit annoying at times, so not a bad thing to get the message out that it's a XHTML thing and doesn't matter in HTML.
I was sceptical going in. But then:

> Mr Mickleborough said he spoke with Mr Achter on the phone about his potential purchase, saying that he was looking to buy the grain in November of that year.

> He then texted the farmer a draft of a contract to seal the deal, writing "please confirm flax contract".

> Mr Achter responded with a "thumbs-up" emoji, but did not deliver the flax by the agreed date.

> Mr Mickleborough said that he had a long-standing business relationship with Mr Achter, and that the farmer had agreed to contracts via text message in the past, prompting him to believe that the emoji sealed the deal.

It's ambiguous but the context has me side with Mr Micklebrough here.
I love all of Delany's earlier SF writing, but felt that after getting praise and recognition for it, he decided he should be a more "serious" writer and started writing things like Dhalgren, which to me was basically unreadable and more about calling attention to the writing than telling a story.
I'd love to be able to see more about how the main LLMs are really trained and limited with regards to their goals and scoring algorithms.

It seems reasonable that they wouldn't deviate, but that depends on how specifically and wholly the original goals were defined. We'd basically be attempting to outwit the LLMs, I'm not sure if that's realistic or not.
A related anecdote - i’ve observed that computer skills in successive generation cohorts is dropping and dramatically. I’m a millennial but was fortunate enough to have grown up with parents who had no idea about tech but gave me tools and manuals to learn. Most of the books i read before the age of ten were computer manuals. they were in the trash and easy to access. Tech was also fragile in the 90s and 2000s so the fiddling led to higher understanding.

In stark contrast are gen z and gen alpha (?) where many i’ve interacted with do not understand folder structures, startup sequences or even how to type with more than two fingers. They are excellent at typing on a screen with their thumbs but writing an excel macro? It is completely alien. navigating folders? A struggle.

As tech matures, skills are dropping and alarmingly so.

I've used Joplin for a few years, had a few hundred notes on it and even sponsored it on GitHub. Then I've changed my smartphone which also brought with it an updated version of Android. The new Android version had some changes regarding how an app can manage a filesystem, which ultimately broke Joplin. I've waited a few weeks for an update (couldn't read my notes on a phone then) and even when it finally arrived, the process of synchronization was so slow and buggy I couldn't do it. That (together with other sync bugs I've been reporting earlier) was the reason I've lost patience and switched to Obsidian. Either way, I'm thankful for developers for those few years, that was a really great tool

You don’t update models to add new information. That’s extremely inefficient and susceptible to catastrophic forgetting. If you want the model to have new information you update an offline knowledge base. So yes you can simply not update the model.
You ignore all the instances of similar and worse under Harper though, eh?
It’s definitely not parlor tricks but I am skeptical that it’s going to be making skilled professionals obsolete any time soon. For many jobs, even a 10% error rate is too high. I think it certainly makes sense as a way to amplify what your employees are capable of doing on any given day by reducing busy work they hated doing in the first place, but improving the performance of these models to get that 10% error rate down to a 1% error rate (and having an understanding of what kinds of tasks it can achieve those results on) will be a lot harder.

Maybe I’m wrong, but AI has a huge history of things we thought were easy turning out to be very difficult. Self-driving cars weren’t expected to be nearly as challenging as they turned out to be. In the original AI summit, all the big thinkers of that era thought that physical tasks like manipulation would be easy and logical reasoning would be hard. It turned out that it was the other way around.

For a lot of vehicle owners, parking tickets in NYC are not an unfortunate event but just a cost of doing business. In my Brooklyn neighborhood, its cheaper to get one or two parking tickets a month than to rent a garage space.

Its kind of a wager, will I pay more in fines or parking garage fees.

For a lot of delivery businesses, its really part of their business model. They know they're getting X amount of fines per month; they bake that into their costs.

I just don't understand how you can think this. If I profess my religion in a private capacity, that's a rightful exercise of my freedom of speech and religion.

If I profess those same beliefs while acting in a public capacity I am infringing on the rights of others by favoring or creating the impression of favoring a particular religion.

You individually have freedom of association. If you don't like gay people, or Vietnamese people, or MAGA republicans - ultimately nobody can make you be friends with them in your private life. However, acting in an official capacity you're absolutely obliged to be neutral.

The government very rightly has restrictions on how partial it can be as it is the arbiter of our society.

Glaucoma Monitoring
A friend and I created (and tested) a cheap non-invasive IOP (intraocular pressure) measurement device as a side project - we thought it'd be important for people diagnosed with Glaucoma to have regular measurements because regular doctor appointments are difficult and costly (plus IOP varies by time of day). Does anyone here have Glaucoma who could provide perspective on what're the important and less important issues that need solving and if our initial thesis is correct?

It's a lot of work to really understand how people see products, you really have to put an ear to the ground or talk to people.

You might look at something and say "that really sucks" but users are satisfied or vice versa a competitor might look tough to you but customers really hate it and wish they had a choice.

I've been told by VC's and bizdev types that it's a lonely place to have a product that is unlike anything on the market, you might have a hard time proving a market for your product exists. If you have competitors than you know the market exists and it could be better to fight for 1/5 of a large pie than 100% of nothing.

You really do want to build one U.S.P. (unique selling point) into your product, even if it is kinda lame, because you'll have a pat answer for the question of "how is this better than X?"
