Sounds like nothing of value was lost

Sorry but there is a link between pornography and sexual violence.

See the litterature review here:
https://psyarxiv.com/cw24q/download/?format=pdf

Or here:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32081698/

"Lifetime pornography use was reported by most respondents. After adjusting for age, age at first porn exposure, and current relationship status, the associations between pornography use and sexual behaviors was statistically significant"

Also, "people are born gay" is quack science. If it's true, what else are people "born" into? Yes, sexual suggestion exists, either through social circles, or through culture, or advertising. Alternative sexual behaviors have exploded since porn went mainstream - did we experience a major genetic change?

Anyway, just like you can entice people to smoke by showing Marylin Monroe smoking on the screen, you can entice people to develop an taste for pedophilia by showing them enticing CSAM. And because the consequences of pedophilia are one of the worst things for society, CSAM is forbiden.
Reminded me of this too.
But luckily those 737 max8 got a software update (and a new name) and are happily flying again...
Certainly, the relationship between event-driven architectures (EDA) and serverless can be seen from different perspectives. In our case, they complement each other pretty well. We utilize integration events extensively to facilitate communication across micro-services, and even within a single service, we mostly handle processes asynchronously via events.

It's worth noting my employer serves local, state, and federal government customers. We will never achieve the scale of tech giants like Netflix or Facebook, and that’s ok, it’s still a great market. Our serverless approach has proven to be cost-effective since we have spotty load and will never have millions of users. In fact, our transition to serverless has resulted in reduced operational expenses compared to our previous containerized solutions. Moreover, given our team's limited experience with cloud operations, the convenience of allowing AWS to manage a majority of the operational work has been helpful (I don’t get many 24x7 calls and can sleep well at night).
The entire idea of invasive species is kind of fraught, because organisms migrate over time. Barren volcanic islands will become seeded with life. Past extinction events change the ecological dynamic. Technically, ocean life invaded the land hundreds of millions of years ago. Land bridges open up, continents collide or separate, etc. Humans weren't the only organism to migrate out of one continent onto others.
I've called it intertwingle, if you want to take a look, it is on github: https://github.com/fnh/intertwingle/ - but I haven't really invested much time in packaging and ergonomics, and a few of the built-in plugins are still a bit specific to my personal conventions and use cases. But it builds my personal website.

It’s not libertarianism. It’s a strong distrust of government power because I see what it does to minorities and how the “other” party will abuse it to suppress speech.

We see it on the state level where companies are afraid to speak out against Desantis because of retaliation.

I define the “other” party as “whichever one you disagree with”. I’m not trying to get into a right vs left argument.

The difference is that the government is not accountable to the majority either between gerrymandering, the electoral college, etc.

For instance, no matter how you feel about abortion, every time a referendum comes up for a vote by the public to restrict it - it’s always defeated even in conservative states yet the legislators go out of their way to work around the people’s will.

The same is true about legalized weed in conservative states or expanding Medicaid.

I can much easier not fall under the influence of Google than the government.

The government is the only force that has a “monopoly on violence”.

A powerful government can do much more harm than an adTech company.

As far as the government having the “public good as a motivator”, are we talking about the same government? The one that goes out of its way not to be answerable to people? The one that funds the “War on Drugs”, “civil forfeiture”, “eminent domain” to take property to give it to another business, etc?

That's why I'm asking about the Jamboard in particular. There are lots of comments about cloud-connected hardware in general here, and yes, I know it tends to suck. But the article is about the Jamboard.
No - I mean something like a banner at the top of the README or at the homepage of the documentation that states, as boldly as feasible, something along the lines of "THIS IS A PROOF OF CONCEPT/DEMO/FOR EDUCATION PURPOSES ONLY SOFTWARE THAT SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PRODUCTION"
I found this to be a really interesting article, and then I clicked on a bunch of the links in the article, and then on one of then I ran into the following heading:

I'm not sure with this case but with a previous one "California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) ... lawsuit against Tesla alleging systematic racial discrimination and harassment." it appeared they were out to get Tesla without much evidence the company was behaving particularly badly.

I mean in a plant with 30,000 employees someone's probably going to say something racist to someone else but it's a question of whether the company tries to stop it which it seemed they did. Tesla press release at the time: https://www.tesla.com/blog/dfehs-misguided-lawsuit
I initially wrote a fairly long piece about why this particular article is wrong, but then I went and looked into who the Hoover Institute is. Its a conservative think tank that has Kissinger as a fellow, so the hawkish attitude, anti-socialism, and mildly misleading statements of political nature all make sense.

The assumption that the US will end up in direct conflict with China is, in my opinion, contradicted by the the Chinese tendency to stay away from wars and focus on economics. They have had only minor border skirmishes and small roles in counterinsurgency in their past 50 years of existence.

I also think that we are too far in for economic warfare to be effective. Any attempt to cut off China from the US will harm the US more than China. The Hoover Institute is partially responsible for the position we are in now, as many of the US politicians that acted to encourage manufacturing abroad were fellows. They are big on free markets, and the hands of the free market determined that low cost manufacturing abroad is of greater importance than US unipolarity.

I think another major point that the article ignores is that the transition towards a market economy from a planned economy was disastrous for the USSR. The Era of Stagnation came right after market reforms, and all of the ex-Soviet countries economies tanked after the fall of the USSR

I can absolutely assure you that ‘aesthetics’ don’t play any role in any of my commuter options :)

I also stand by this: The Onewheel was the most versatile commuter option I’ve ever used in NYC.

If failsafes were added that didn’t rely on ‘maintain balance while skidding on your nose or tail at 15+mph in traffic if the power decides to randomly cut off’, I’d likely buy it again.
Significant sub-areas of computer science do their own publishing nowadays. Peer review is already volunteer, and authors are already expected to produce their own publication-ready PDFs (mostly via LaTeX, sometimes Word), so it’s not a huge additional step to arrange the resulting PDFs into a website with a table of contents, and grab an ISBN for it. NeurIPS is a prominent example of this model: https://papers.nips.cc/
The 60% of the vocabulary that came via French might have something to say about that.
> Google is able to "ignore the demand side"

To me this shows how disconnected from reality Google's executives are. They think advertising is just the "supply" side and that they can ignore the "demand" side entirely. In fact, since advertisers are Google's customers, Google is the supply side--they supply the advertising opportunities--and the advertisers are the demand side--they pay for the advertising opportunities that are available. Users are neither supply nor demand to Google, economically speaking: they are a capital resource that Google uses to produce what they supply to their customers.

In other words, the complacent position Google's executives feel themselves to be in is not because they are somehow avoiding supply and demand economics: it is because, due to their first-mover position in search, they have a huge capital resource--all the users who use Google search because it was the first good enough search engine available and force of habit is very strong--which their search competitors do not have. But that resource is not unassailable. Google's search experience has been deteriorating because of ads. But Google's executives don't even see that. They think their search team is doing an awesome job.
I still don't understand why these days we don't just post our papers to OpenReview and call it a day. They support community comments (so you get reviews and feedback from other researchers. More specifically/importantly, researchers interested/knowledgeable in your niche), it supports revisions, all the information is public.

I just can't for the life of me figure out how journals improve the system. The only thing I see is they help reach, but these days that's more handled by the researchers themselves and the universities. The universities are just paying _and_ subsidizing these journals (as well as government). They directly pay for access, they donate, they pay in that their workers also work for these journals (without pay), and so on. What do journals __do__?

I wish more fonts were presented alongside expansive, illustrated backstories about their designs (including more of Butterick’s fonts).

> That's interesting. Every startup I've ever worked at, the chief compliance officer & mlro was one of the first 2-3 employees to get hired (as far as I can recall).

One of the employees is assigned the role in a jurisdiction where someone has to be assigned the role, because obviously. That doesn't mean it's their full time job -- how could it be, unless the compliance overhead has fully doubled the company's labor costs? All it is for them is more work, which only allows them to specialize less in each of the other things they have to do.

You’re right, Apple never moved lightning past USB-2 speeds. Still seems weird to do things the way they did, unless it was just to reuse some part they already had in another device, thus saving costs.

The need for compression is a good point. I hadn’t thought of that. But you’re right other existing parts should have worked if chosen, right?

Weird. Just such a fun day on Twitter when it was discovered that what we had all assumed was just a relatively simple adapter was a whole SoC running its own firmware doing this job.
> they don't pay for the research, they don't pay the authors, and they don't pay for the peer review, yet they own the result.

On to of that, they get government funding, they get funding from the universities, they get funding from private industries, and they have all those people work for them for free too.

(posted in another comment) I don't get why we just don't publish to OpenReview or improve OR and publish to that thing.

Why is Windows so bad?
I use Ubuntu for my main machine and have for a few years. Whenever I have to do anything with Windows - helping my gf set something up or get a game running or something - I am shocked at how bad the experience is. Constant pop-ups and advertisements for Microsoft services. Neverending McAfee ads. The user experience is just so bad. It sucks that you can't pay more for a version that isn't the Spirit/Ryan Airlines equivalent of an operating system.
Since we’ve not heard stories of it being involved in deaths I assume that the battery stops providing propulsion score it stops providing gyro. (And depending on how the gyro is designed it might keep spinning long enough for it to slow down and stop.)

NASA’s code runs on devices that have am very specific missions. They can test all of the edge cases because they’re going from A to B once and they have a decade to prepare that journey. People riding electric scooters and etc will run into more variability each day than NASA will in a whole mission.

I crashed and broke my back on a two wheeled scooter in SF due to a pedestrian walking on a red don’t walk sign, for example.

Plus, none of these companies are doing NASA quality assurance or anything close, so why even compare them to NASA?
You don't understand how lucrative search is by itself. Google pays to monopolize search because they make a lot of money from the paid promoted search results (AdWords). Those can be personalized but most of the time they're simply based on your query.

The personalization profile based on searches and other stuff is used for their display network (ads across the web), but that entire network is way less valuable than Google Search alone. [0]

> They explicitly mention "we had to build the best product"

But to them, "the best product" is the one that maximizes their profits from ads, not the one that does the best job of giving users what they want. Obviously there is overlap between these, but they're not the same thing.
> What happens to a Segway when it runs out of battery?

A Segway needs electricity to balance itself, so my guess is that when it gets close to running out of battery, it stops by itself and refuses to continue.
Time is money. A migration could easily require code changes + testing, which can add up. If you're a small business that has to outsource this, I could see the cost of migration costing more than their aggregate DB hosting costs so far.

The core of their argument is:

> as any routing node which self-clones to gain a larger share of routing-work for a given transaction also reduces by half the ability for that transaction to contribute towards the valid block production work threshold

Seems like the primary assumption is that Sybill only happens vertically (one node being taken as multiple), but in reality Sybil is usually a per-actor problem, i.e. a CDN could be by a single actor created to ensure minimal hops thereby creating an effective Sybill attack.

Disclaimer: this is my read of their system it might have different counter-measures/assumptions.
You must have the UI? Call your factory, ask them make an extra ICE and hook it up to the simulator through an attenuator and shielded cables. Easy. Cost couple cars worth, so what. Add noises, simulate phasing, handover, do anything you want to. premises is, you're a top mass market smart phone manufacturer, and Google, both of that at the same time.

No, you're trying to find a way to make it sound impossible. But what you're saying is more along, probably, "finding a parking lot to test brakes is impossible even for a car company". Something real stupid as that.
> The conquerer of Hawaii is very much still alive and kicking.

This all happened in 1898 or something, didn't it?

And Hawaiian Kingdom was itself not even 100 years old at the time, itself being the product of a (native) military conqueror who took over the Hawaiian islands and displaced whatever local societies there were.

I just reject the premise that colonialism was bad and that we are automatically obligated to preserve, respect or maintain these ancient cultures just because they...existed?

Modern democratic societies are healthier, wealthier, safer, more just, and more equal than the societies they replaced. We shouldn't restrain our progress because old superstitions mean someone doesn't want us building scientific instruments on top of some dirt. This is a value judgement and I'm not afraid to make it.

The "skin in the game" point is interesting. Imagine if there was a way to buy personal injury insurance for a device such as the Onewheel. Then the insurer has an incentive to audit the code and check for safety hazards, in order to figure out what premium to charge. If you're a customer and you want to know which device is the safest, check to see which has the cheapest insurance.

This seems like a cheap (or maybe even profitable) recall.

For new models, it’s just a software update (~free) and for old models it’s a $100 credit on a new board which probably doesn’t consume all of the profit on a sale of a board.

Plus this coverage is now a ton of free advertising for a product many forgot about or didn’t know about.

Shouldn’t they have just done this years ago? Am I missing something?
