for any given company, any given service, what is the likelihood the terms had a data sharing provision? you know, with their trusted partners. the ones that pay them money? for the data.

depending on how old the accounts, many of the regulations and practices you are expecting to be practiced weren’t yet in existence. perhaps they follow them now. companies have to get into compliance, and in the meanwhile, companies as big and sensitive as equifax and experian go “oh sorry…”

but, no, if you think companies as a thing are consistently, completely, correctly removing data, you are mistaken.

it isn’t even always due to negligence, and in those cases it may be quite legal. it may even be required. if not required legally, it may be in what you agreed to.

but is it secure?

what typically does not happen is a user’s request cleanly triggering a sanitization of all data they have generated on the targeted platform and periphery.
i think it is working with embeddings - meaning that each word (or word stem) is represented by a very long vector of floating point numbers. These vectors are the result of something like word2vec. The input text is transformed into these embedding vectors and lined up in sequence (that's called the context window), then this gargantuan ML model works starts to process this gargantuan input sequence.
It is funny, people somehow think that a momentary episode of utter economic dominance after all other economic powers had been bombed into dust should be the norm.

Au contraire, reality is ephemeral. Right wing politics is all about turning back the clock, larping as time travelers from a bygone era.
But you see, you’re kind of making my point for me. Being good isn’t the same as being good enough. And this is only a problem if every industry is saturated with people who are good enough.

This isn’t the case, and if I’m not good enough at playing guitar to make a living at it, I go elsewhere. I don’t ask the world to make me a spot.

We need more carpenters and plumbers and a whole host of other industries. It feels very strange to me that people look at the world and say “it’s so unfair that society doesn’t value the thing that I do that isn’t particularly unique or contributive.” Why should that ever be the case?

Even in some perfect utopian society where everyone gets everything for free, am I supposed to read some mediocre book just because the person who made it wishes they were important? Even in such a society, people would still want notoriety, but they wouldn’t get it because they’re not good enough. For this reason I don’t see capitalism as the problem, I see them as the problem.

If the UK proves itself to be a partner that doesn't want special treatment like before, it sure can be welcomed back by the EU, and if anything it coming back will only strengthen the union by showing that leaving it was considered a mistake in the end.

But I still feel skeptical regarding Brits and British politicians actually being ready to accept the fact they're not special and that they will not have special treatment. I am pretty sure they'll want to pull a sneaky and try to sneak something in to calm down the Tories.
As I understand, he didn't merely inspire but architected modern psychoanalytic approaches. But even those aside, specific teachings of his or evolutions of his teachings are still thaught. Oedipus complex is the one I dislike the most, claiming boys want to murder their father and sleep with their mother at a subconscious level.

IMO, many cultures long before freud used religion and other means as part of mental health treatments.as I alluded earlier, I take objection to the approach he championed where psychoanalysis is done by people who don't consider belief and world view compatibility and goals that are wildly different from their own. How can you fix a problem for someone if you don't even know what the root cause for that person is and what they want the solution to be? This is a highly subjectivr field where reductivist (why they call them shrinks) approaches only work as a matter of statistical success, not correctness of the approach.

Again, just my opinion and observation.

In my experience, just understanding the mental world someone lives in is a huge undertaking. Two people can look at the same thing and have thing mean wildly different things.

So just because you could argue about all of these, they are all invalid?
I don’t disagree with you, however we are talking about real people in society, not a theoretical philosophical system. I’m unaware of any wide scale explicitly adopted philosophy wherein there is zero responsibility from individuals to care for others or society.

I am curious though what you would describe as your personal philosophy, or if you’re not talking about yourself then what ethics framework are you referring to living inside that does not have a normative component.

Maybe a better way to ask it is: what relativistic philosophy is dominant enough or otherwise adopted to such an extent that people are able to functionally live underneath it without any type of a-priori responsibility to others.

What I DO see however are people who reject responsibility for others, yet accept or even demand support from others - even if it’s tacit - and then hold a position like you describe.

So I remain suspect of anyone promoting some extreme version of individualism, as it conflicts with not only biology, but the entire history of societies and philosophies.

Having children and, thus, a stroller, has given me some small level of insight into what it must be to try and navigate Paris in a wheelchair.

I can only think of one, maybe two, Metro stations that I can access with my youngest without carrying him. Many stores I would not be able to enter if I wasn't able to tip the wheels up. Curb cuts are routinely blocked by tourist scooters and anyway people often take up too much of the space on the sidewalk with their vehicles to get through. Add on to the fact that apartment stock must be 95% inaccessible if you're in a wheelchair.

It might be why I have only twice seen someone in a wheelchair in my seven years here. My wife and I have discussed before that, as much as we love it here, we'd move out right away if any of us had accessibility needs.

You're complaining that the title of TFA is not what you expect. This is certainly a tangential annoyance, and certainly not an interesting comment on the article. If you don't like the submission just flag it and move on. Do better.
If it were so simple to achieve, we would not see child labor.

You have it backwards. We wouldn't see any child labor if employers weren't trying to cut corners on wages while the people at the top of the economic pyramid rake in billions. Ownership is way overcompensated in this society, most owners/CEOs do not provide that much value and are just collecting economic rents because they occupy a position in social/economic networks with high bridging centrality coefficients. It may involve some work to get there, but culture, luck, and marketing also have a lot to do with it too.

Yes, for two reasons: windspeed is greater at higher altitudes, and energy capture increases with the square of the blade length:

This means that a windmill constructed with 3x the building material (3x blade diameter and 3x taller) will generate over 9x the power.

You can just do the same thing in the integers modulo any value greater than 1, creating a bounded domain without creating a fixed point. I imagine this runs afoul of a different precondition which I haven't identified, though -- it's obviously way more likely than that the entire field has managed to miss something this obvious.

Edit: Actually it's obviously just that this set is not convex, or even continuous.

I doubt that. If you're consistently consuming a lot less electricity than your neighbors, that will be pretty easy for the utility company to notice, at which point they can send a technician out to your house to have a look. They probably already have to do this from time to time to investigate people who engage in meter tampering.

Hard to imagine Britain joining both the Euro and the Schengen zones. I just don’t see the British public not thinking they’re special and demanding exceptions and carve outs just for them.
One problem with such disprovings is that they don't get into the actual case of what's happening, just stay on what people say.

People could say the same thing for 200 years, but they might not say it at the same numbers or with the same intensity over those 200 years - and of course even if those were stable, the thing might or might not be actually happening during some of those years.

As an example (not making a X-to-Nazi comparison, so Godwin has no power here): People have been complaining about fascism from 1920 all the way to 2023. But there are still periods with hugely more actual fascism, say 1993-1945.

Show HN: We made an AI shopping consultant for online stores
Hi HN! We are excited to introduce you to Octocom! Octocom functions as a shopping consultant for e-commerce stores, providing product recommendations and answering customer inquiries - exactly like a shopping consultant in a brick-and-mortar store.

My brother and I previously owned an e-commerce store specializing in sailing equipment. A significant portion of our time was consumed answering customer support questions. We realized that no matter how much information we provided on our website or how clearly it was displayed, customers still sent emails because many of them didn't bother to read the website.

When OpenAI released their API, we decided to try develop our own chatbot for our store, and the results were amazing.

Upon noticing our bot, some of our customers started reaching out to us, curious about who made it.

After some more time passed, we decided to create the bots for them as well and transition to working full-time on Octocom.

You can test out one of our customer’s bots (they sell smart business cards) here: https://www.octocom.ai/try/tolink

Our goal with Octocom is to replicate the experience of consulting with a sales assistant/shopping consultant in a physical store. You just ask a question and receive a direct answer, eliminating the need to read through product descriptions or do a research to make a buying decision.

A single beam column with the machine around it costs millions already, and takes quite some space. Wafers are simply not large enough to accommodate more than, I'd guess, two or three columns at the same time. Each with independent optics.

A somewhat simple 2x2 cm Si photonics Chip in my line of work takes about 24h exposure for two layers - a full scale wafer is hundreds of times larger, more complex, and has dozens of layers. The math, physics, and geometry just don't really work out (yet)
Q&A: Fire on board the Fremantle Highway ship
Here's some perspective. In lower cost areas of the country it's still totally possible for a single worker to support a family of five, buy a house, a car, and afford a vacation. But in that idealized version of the past that you're describing the normal standards of living were much lower. The typical worker's house was small with everyone sharing one bathroom. The car was unreliable and dangerous. The vacation was a road trip to go camping. Now it seems everyone's expectations have risen.

I do agree that demographic changes are going to cause economic problems. That is basically unavoidable now.
> Until the financial incentives of investors, employees and customers align this will never be a priority

In some parts of the world, disabled people can sue businesses over accessibility issues. People complain about the “disability mafia” shaking down businesses, but I think it might be the only way to align incentives to actually get these problems reliably addressed.

> POST - Asks the server to create a new resource

Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years but it seems to me that the guides flip-flops the responsibility of POST and PUT. My understanding is that POST should edit/modify while PUT creates/replaces a resource.

The reentry tech in ICBMs has nothing to do with satellite disposal, and, in fact, would make satellite disposal more hazardous (because it would mean the satellite would reenter in one piece rather than breaking up into smaller pieces that are more likely to burn up/melt in the atmosphere).

An ICBM warhead reaches space but at suborbital speeds. It never reaches orbital velocity and will reenter no matter what; it has a heat shield so that the warhead remains intact when descending through the atmosphere.

For satellite disposal, the satellite starts off at orbital velocity and needs to be decelerated above the atmosphere to drop the low point in the orbit far enough that the atmosphere will decelerate it below orbital velocity.

https://what-if.xkcd.com/58/ has a good overview of the difference between suborbital and orbital velocity.
Well only even the most pious remainers would accept the Euro as a currency and removing fiscal sovereignty, so it's a total non-starter.

> a lot more of it is because the employees are simply not doing their jobs and have to be let go

You are trying to find a cheap and good employee at the same time. Those tend to be scarce. Yet you keep scrapping the bottom of the barrel, and finding low quality.

Have you considered a change of other parameters of your search? For example, the budget or the availability required.
I have no idea about your age, nor do I care.

The definition of government that you offered comes from a very distinct strain of philosophy, which doesn't go back that far, historically had few believers, and gained far more prominence with the rise of Usenet than it had ever had before in the history of humanity.

I'm also not interested in convincing you of anything. My only goal is to point out fallacies, so that simplistic depictions of "what is" don't go unchallenged. It's fine with me if you continue to believe what you already believe.
I spent 4 years living in Vietnam (and Laos / Cambodia). Never once found an ATM that worked with my card (Chase bank) and everyone I know said that they were limited to about 2m vnd in Vietnam, which is about $85. Never mind having to pay fees on every transaction.

It is absurd to have to get some special card or bank account. It is absurd to be limited to a tiny amount of money, I certainly wouldn't have been able to pay rent that way.
