My TLDR of that law firms info which could be a wrongful interpretation, in priority or execution order.

Any Non Specified Entity uploading any data which could be accessed by another Non Specified Entity with or without public access is bound by this bill.

Can be used or accessed from the UK. This might be the UK expanding beyond its borders here, because its a given if it not geo restricted it it could be used in the UK. VPN's/Tor may not be able to offer privacy from the state which is my opinion anyway.

Applies to all services with a "significant" number of UK users. No definition of significant so dont know if this is the same use of the word significant found in medical studies or not.

Definition of search engine is a service which can search more than one website or database.

Largest players now have a legal duty to prevent paid-for fraudulent adverts on their service and other regulated content.

Clarification on identifying the users of the service, ie profile pics and other identifying data.

Exempt specified entities:

--------------------------

Software like antivirus, antispam cloud/online submissions where said data is never likely to be used for communication purposes but might be analysed to improve the performance of said software function, ie reverse engineering stuxnet, latest spam techniques.

Published Content with commenting for the content, ie online newspaper comments.
Posting a link, with or with comments, including like, dislike buttons and emojis of Published Content to another Non Specified Entity.

SMS & MMS messaging.

Services solely used for specific tasks like education, childcare and possibly health care.

One to One Aural (realtime speech and sound only guessing telephone) communication with identifying data allowed with no additional data communication functionality like visuals, text messaging. No mention of recording said Aural data.

Any public body carrying out their public duty.

Any internal business resource or tool, like company message boards, company chat facility's in all forms. No mention of recording data, would assume business includes official organisations like charities, but not clear.

No mention of private paid for programming language groups which can be accessed using a password of sorts and costs

Case by case reviews and changes made by the secretary of state so the exemption list will probably grow.

So my opinion on the above is if you are a big (US) tech service, you can self regulate, but little users will be watched by the UK state as no one can be trusted. Other laws apply where applicable.

They asked, "Currently, do you have any interest in people of the opposite sex?” This leads me to believe that they may have deliberately wanted to only tacitly ask about sexual interest. Maybe they thought people would be more willing to answer honestly this way. Granted, I'm only speculating and don't have any knowledge of this demographic's mores.

My point is that if you're not asking about ownership, you should be. My personal financial situation is not representative of the broad working class. Lots of luck involved too, but asking is mostly free.

Residuals are fine if you can negotiate them. More power to you! But to complain about not getting paid for something without having to lift a finger to earn it is the height of conceit. Do The Work! Entertain us with new and interesting creations! The move towards rewarding work (such as the trends of musicians touring and performing instead of relying solely on recording) is a healthy one!
Even for rural areas, it should be separated paths. The US actually has some of those (way more than it has protected bike lanes, anyway).

Fair though, a painted bike lane is probably better than nothing.

> even in most of the EU

Why are you saying this like the EU is some kind of exemplar? Most of the EU sucks for biking. It's better on average than the US, but most countries there aren't like the Netherlands, which is probably the only country there where biking is treated with similar seriousness to driving in terms of investment.

I'm not dismissing this outright, but in terms of priorities, giving counseling to criminals to "distinguish" between the hardened criminals and everyone else seems ripe for abuse, and not exactly a top priority when there are things like cop unioins, crowded jail spaces, and unfunded learning/job opportunities for inmates

> pause growth and then resume it

Which shouldn’t feel so alien to us because human childhoods are a period of much slower growth than you see in other animals. Not a pause but still. IIRC it’s speculated that slowed growth is to give time for the brain to mature and to learn but either way it’s interesting to think about. If we grew the way dogs and cows do we’d be fully grown by around 10 years old.
> The school does offer an option to skip a grade in math, but the pass rate is a mere 10%

I ran into trouble with this as a kid. They put me ahead a grade in math in grade 2 because I could handle it and the class was a 2/3 split (half grade 2s, half 3s), so I just did math with the grade 3s. This worked going forward as there were 3/4 and 4/5 split classes at the school too.

But then after a couple years, I was reaching the point where the school only went to grade 5 and the teachers didn't even have books for grade 6s.

So they skipped me entirely ahead a grade. Into a new school (since the previous school only went to 5). With none of my friends.

My other subjects suffered because I was only really good at math. My social life died- kids are assholes at that age and pull each other down. And my mental health was pretty messed up for a long time. I wound up taking an extra year of high school just so I wouldn't be in college at 17.
discord makes hosting a real-time online place for most communities of all sizes very easy. it also doubles as a free cross-platform messaging app with a massive userbase. as the top-level GP posted, it mostly has a superset of the features of other community/messaging platforms (at the cost of searchability and data ownership/privacy).

as a student, I'm in discord servers for friend groups, school clubs, unofficial classroom servers, game communities, fanbases, etc - anything that can benefit from conversations organized into different channels is usually turned into a discord server.

when I think "how can I take this group of people interested in the same thing to gather together online?", the alternatives that come up are:

- facebook (too linked to real life identity, also not really great for separating conversations into specific channels to my understanding)
- reddit/forums (which can compliment a discord server in being more searchable/async, but in no way rival Discord's real time text/voice chat)
- mumble/teamspeak/skype/matrix (largely just has a subset of discord features)
- slack/microsoft teams (pretty much solely designated for work and not at all marketed as a general purpose communication solution)
Spotify's rating and recommendation system leaves quite a bit to be desired. They need granularity, and they need to explain the algorithm to some extent.

If I like a track what exactly am I liking? The genre? The artist? Only specifically that song? Some maths that approximate a certain properties in the track? Some combination? How does liking song X influence Spotify's recommendation system on average? I have experienced the same as other posters WRT listening to a genre for a session only to have Spotify fixate on that genre until I've skewed the average in another direction. Small hack I've found if you make a playlist with a large and diverse sample size you can nudge their playlist enhancer to stay with the mood you are going for.

On granularity, I would want to be able to say:

Let x = track, genre, artist

I don't like X, never play it.

Exclude X just for this listening session.

Skew toward more X

I'd also imagine this would produce much richer data for future recommendation systems. If Spotify were to train on the data I've generated on their platform it would end introducing bias by the nature of me working around their systems and still not getting what I want, granted I may be an outlier.

Bingo. I can’t think of any other EU/NATO/FVEY country that actually does development of defence tech on the scale the US does.
because companies continue to sell the thing you already made, ballooning the profit vs cost to make ratio... if actors only got paid the one time, companies and stockholders would eat an increasingly larger percentage of the true revenue of the IP.
If the publishers are continuing to make money off selling the work, why shouldn't the people who actually made it get their share?
Agreed. In typical fashion engineers try to solve non-technical problems with more technology.

Sure, there are cases where a chat bot could replace a human or a well-written FAQ. But this navel-gazing overlooks the main reason support is so dreadful: because it’s designed to be.

Just take “call to cancel” as an example, and compare that to signing up or upselling which is technically more difficult problems. The point is to add friction for anything perceived as a short-term cost or loss. They know that a lot of people will give up or defer anything with friction. It’s the paradigm of nudging, or dark patterns. Look at eg the cookie banners, and how “reject all” is buried in most cases. Nudging allows a company to be compliant with the law, but evade the effect of it in aggregate, at the cost of your time and attention.

Chat bots is just another layer in the support maze.

I mostly agree with you. But I absolutely despise debates. They are more often than not worthless. They are based on charisma and how good you are at language, not facts. Discussion is the right word. I've often thought of pushing directly to OpenReview rather than just arxiv, but discussions can get off base quickly and novices can dominate (while academic Twitter is great, this happens there a lot). It is not our job as a researcher to communicate our ideas to laymen, that's the job of science communicators. Sure, it is great and a bonus, but please stop asking on my github how to do something that is in the pytorch intro tutorial. Read the tutorial or attend my class. Open discussions are nice in theory, but HN and Reddit are good examples at how these systems often get over burdened with noise. There's a catch-22 and so it is a tough call.
I spend lots of time walking through old, mature neighbourhoods with mature trees. Usually the sidewalks are empty, because stuff is too spread out to be walkable, and there just aren't enough people for sidewalks to be full. Yes, mostly in the US, but I've also observed this outside the US. Leafy+dense enough to be vibrant areas are really nice, but the exception. The thing that really makes new neighborhoods awful for walking isn't lack of shade, it's everything else about the new neighborhood, typically built in an extremely car-centric manner.
It's so important for any platform owner/operator to at least be perceived as being unbiased on the platform, and at best to actually be unbiased. But the siren song of unfair advantage to executive leadership is, in many cases, irresistible.

This strongly implies that there is no possible privately owned platform. The profit motive is too powerful to be resisted, and too vague to be enforced by any cultural norms.
Writing latency on the current generation of eink devices is good enough not to be noticeable.
> Swift’s point was that language is not a formal system that represents human thought, but a messy and ambiguous form of expression.

Yep even the greatest minds are susceptible to false dichotomy. We now have linguistics and computer science, yet some aspects of thought remain forever intractably messy.
No, most people don't even realize that urban areas tend to subsidize less dense areas.

Usually when they're initially presented with this info, they immediately go into an obvious denial mode where they try to find some logic to explain why it isn't true.
Likely because it's less risky for the publisher, as opposed to a big up-front payment for something that might not sell as well as expected. As an author, which approach would you prefer?
> I don't think they'll have the resources to go after anyone but the social media giants.

Or anyone who criticizes those in power
As a New Yorker, with cars on the road I have a reasonable expectation of where they might be coming from or what direction they're headed (ie, they're following traffic laws). With bikes, they can (and do!) come from any direction, on the sidewalk, riding the wrong way on the road, wrong way in the bike lanes, etc. These bikes could be considered as motorcycles (ebike designation is a legal one), they often go 20mph or faster by delivery drivers with little consideration of pedestrian safety, and you really don't know where or how you might encounter one so your head needs to be on swivel as pedestrian in NYC.

That said, I'm still pro-bike and acknowledge that cars are much more dangerous for pedestrians, just I'd like to see the delivery bike / ebike problems fixed.
Early calculus in 60 seconds: Consider a car with a speedometer that says how fast are moving and an odometer that says how far have gone. Given the data from the odometer can find what the speedometer values were. That is the first half of calculus, differentiation. And given the data from the speedometer, can find what the odometer values were. That is the second half of calculus, integration. If start with the odometer values, differentiate and get the speedometer values and integrate those values, then will get back the odometer values -- that is the fundamental theorem of calculus.
Differentiation is related to subtraction, and integration is related to addition.

Might be able to teach that to kids in the fourth grade.
Yes, we also have a popular open-hardware, open-source indoor air quality monitor that measures CO2, PM, Temperature and Humidity. You can also get an optional TVOC module that can measure chemicals and NOx.

This version we currently only sell as a pre-soldered kit [1] but it is very easy to assemble (no need to solder anything) and you just need to plug a few modules together and close the enclosure with a few screws.

Hey. I know you’re well-meaning and the proposal isn’t meant to harm the web. But please, retract it.

WEI’s purpose is to block out bad traffic. The question isn’t whether all website owners will block non-attesting clients once this is rolled out. It’s whether any can. If they can, some will. The most promising way to address this are holdbacks. But they can’t work, because:

a) if 5% of pageloads fail, users will get used to it and adapt. When the load fails, they’ll reload. Holdbacks can’t reasonably disincentivize blocking non-attesting clients. Some websites really want to, and they will. They won’t care about losing 1-2% of visits.

b) Websites can just tell users how to bypass it: “Authentication failed. Try reloading, or switch to an authorized browser.”

c) Some governments (like the French) are already trying to legally mandate stuff roughly similar to WEI, though thankfully the methods they use are much milder than WEI. You’re opening Pandora’s box, just like Apple did with Communication Safety. Why couldn’t a government legally require all banks to block non-attesting clients? Then, this proposal will have enabled financial discrimination and de-banking, for something as benign as not being able to have an up-to-date browser on an “expired” Chromebook (outdated browsers would presumably fail attestation, and people with old laptops who can’t afford new ones shouldn’t be shut out of the economy).

Holdbacks can’t work. There’s no form WEI can take that wouldn’t cause what (I trust) you’re trying to avoid.
It’s not bullying. Give me a break. It’s a valid concern. No one is picking on people for being homeschooled.
I am a strong believer of :

- There is no depth in math without understanding properly our own language.

- One cannot master anything without actually writing stuff.
Possibly, but it's not really sync anyway. You can pull and push documents, but there's no synchronisation.

Not worth paying extra for.
