> No horse is lying down during a hailstorm

you don't know it's a hailstorm till you're in it, prior to that it's just a storm you see coming across the plain. And while a singular horse does get skittish, the idea here I think is that the horse finds the calm presence of its owner to be soothing.
More time is fine. I am genuinely interested, just not understanding. Because even still what you are describing to me is impossible for me to distinguish from a social construct. Like in the sense the borders are real. But I wouldn't call borders "real" other than "a real agreement" and even then there's lots of arguments. Definitely borders are not inherent to the world/reality other than... our social constructs. So I think where the main point of contention is coming from is me not understanding your definition of "real." It appears like you understand the one I'm using, and is it fair to say that this is the standard one?
Not every tissue passes ultrasound as well as the liver so it might need fine tuning for different tissues.

The liver also regenerates a lot faster which probably helps mitigate off-target effects.
The argument is that whoever provided you the installer is ‘morally speaking’ providing you the software on the condition that you accept the agreement, and the fact that you physically receive the software before completing the transaction is just an implementation detail.

This is largely based on ProCD v. Zeidenberg:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProCD,_Inc._v._Zeidenberg

That case involved a literal shrinkwrapped product – a piece of software sold on CD-ROM in the 90s – where the contract was stored on the CD-ROM and thus could not even be reviewed without breaking the shrinkwrap, which in turn could only happen after buying the package from a retailer. If the purchaser read the license and decided not to accept, they would have spent their money on nothing.

But the contract instructed purchasers to return the package if they didn’t agree to it, and purchasers apparently had the opportunity to do so and get their money back, and the court decided that was good enough. If a purchaser chose not to return the package and instead continued to use the software after seeing the license, they could be considered to have accepted the contract.

That said, the purchaser in that case did check an “I agree” box in the installer rather than try to bypass it – but at least based on the Wikipedia article, it sounds like that fact wasn’t as crucial to the outcome as one might expect.

These are what I wrote in my college notes of TCP IP that I did 6 years ago.

Much of it is confusing as both seem to be doing the same thing.
Can you tell me what’s the benefit of being idempotent? As far as I know idempotent means no matter how many times you repeat a input, you get same output.

Bottom of page 4: "Even with declining resources, audit coverage is greater in the larger TPI (total positive income) grouping than the coverage of EITC returns that fall in the lower TPI range".

Can you quote the exact part of the letter where they say "we target EITC because we don't have the money to audit high income individuals"?

I don’t think the comment you’re replying to suggests never stopping updates. I don’t suggest that either. Otherwise people will think software is properly patched when it isn’t and application developers will not be able to modernize their stacks. I think currently 5 years is acceptable but we should strive for more. Some of these Android ones are BS.
At some stage years down the line folks will say the exact same thing about the internet now, maybe even your post!

This looks like garbage on narrow screens (mobile).
Weird recursive algorithms
It needs to be not just a second algorithm but a parametric hash function. So after an image B has been found which matches illegal image A on f(B)=f(A) then the server picks a random number R and sends the client R,f(A,R) and the client checks if f(B,R) =f(A,R) as well.

Do we have such a hash function?

> Also, honey caremelises at a much lower temperature (as low as 70C) compared to sucrose and glucose (~160C) and fructose (~110C).

Honey is about 70% fructose + glucose.

It's about 16-19% water.

So I'm not sure why it would caramelise at significantly lower temperatures than its constituent parts would suggest.

My hives may skew slightly as my bees harvest primarily from Australian native trees which can (seasonally) lead to a higher glucose:fructose ratio (and more prone to candying) but a recent composition report follows:

Moisture 17.6%
pH 4.08
Electrical conductivity 0.32 (mS/cm)
Hydroxymethylfurfural 1.7 (mg/kg)

Sugar - Glucose 29.5%
Sugar - Sucrose < 0.5%

Dell pushed out a bios update, relayed on by ubuntu, that bricked mine because after the update I closed the lid and put it in my bag because I bought a laptop. Situation: I was beside a child's ICU bed.

The bios update made using the device advertised and bought as a laptop as a laptop become fatal behaviour. Can anyone talk to Dell about it because any reputable company would apologise and fix? No. Cannot contact them because they bricked it for me just out of warranty.

So no, I do NOT recommend Dell. Ever. Their support blows goats. I hate them. I'm far from alone in that.

Definitely. For example, I was quite disappointed to find that the Blu-ray releases of Neon Genesis Evangelion don’t include the various renditions of “Fly Me to the Moon” over the end credits, though they’re present on the platinum collection DVD release.

>This was a nostalgia bomb for me

Heck, I remember that article from the time it was circulated on Slashdot back in the day.

Looking at the title, I was, like, OMG, was it about that crazy setup where someone wired a desktop PC to play mp3s in a car back when CD players were far, far from being standard?

And lo and behold, yes, it was. I mean, he used an "embedded" system, that's to say - a mini-ITX sized PC with Pentium 166MhZ running Linux.

It's insane that within 5 years, CD players playing MP3-CDs became ubiquitous (way before Flash memory became cheap enough for accessibly priced mp3 players with 1GB memory).
Not everyone is interested in playing games in 4880p at 245 FPS. Besides the obvious diminishing returns, consuming this much power and generating this much e-waste for entertainment is irresponsible.

I find it interesting to think about the mechanics.

1. Things have value.

2. People can own things, fractionally or entirely.

3. Owning a thing entails control of that thing.

So what does a world in which billionaires aren't allowed to exist look like? If the wealth is from creating a company, do we tax companies so progressively that it simply isn't possible for a billion-dollar company to exist in the first place? Do we take some fraction of the founder's company, and therefore their control over that company, away, e.g. with a wealth tax?

In principle I'm happy to ban billionaires, but I also don't love the idea of someone losing control of the company they created because other people decided it was too valuable. Asymptotically capping the growth of companies is appealing, but who knows what the second-order market effects might be (imagine if Apple had no incentive to scale to serve everyone who wants their products), and anyway one person can own multiple companies, so per-company limits by themselves won't put an end to billionaires.

The folks in mechanism design have to have done research in this area, but I'm not familiar with it.
Wow, I completely forgot about Red Alert. That game was a blast!
POST is typically used for creating new entities
- the server can determine if the entity should be created
- the client might ask for an entity to be created several times

PUT is typically used for updating existing entities
- the server can determine if the entity exists before updating it
- imagine where a record might be tried to update twice. you would expect the same output even if the input was used twice (think poor network connection without an ACK from the server back to the client, so the client retries)
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible. The router can only intercept as far as DNS goes, and DNS Blocklists are already incapable of blocking YouTube ads.
I've seen that case before actually. But as I understand it, it was important that there was an indication of the existence of the license on the packaging, which people could view prior to purchase - it means you implicitly voluntarily agreed to that contract on the box before you purchased the copy.

That is not quite the same thing as claiming you don't have a right to use something without a license, hence my question. If someone gives you a copy of the software without any indication that it comes with any sort of license at all, and you patched it to bypass the agreement that popped up after you ran it, what did you violate exactly? You got the software without agreeing to anything, so what's the legal basis for the idea that you can't patch it and use it without agreeing to the license?
How would you know if the chat is "wholly correct factually", unless you look at other spurces? It is not uncommon for even it's citations to simply not exist.

Unfortunately TV shows no longer seem to include a digital code for digital library redemption. The only reason I buy physical movies is so that the physical media acts as a "backup" to watching it while relying on MoviesAnywhere syncing for the ease-of-use that comes with the digital versions.

Good luck selling that to companies that have contracts with cities which involve a specific number of headcount working at an office, funneling money into downtown businesses, restaurants, etc.

I don't buy that explanation. Kindle has always supported "sideloading" of supported formats over USB, and that isn't changing; what Amazon is withdrawing support for is automatic conversion of files in the older MOBI format.

If I had to guess, I'd simply say that Amazon simply wants to stop having to deal with MOBI, either for licensing reasons, or simply because it's a bizarre old format (created in 2000! for Palm Pilot!).

Call it expensive or whatever you want. But don't tell me it's tied to your job.

I get the sense that the large corporations taking an authoritarian stance toward RTO is not happening because they have data showing that RTO is the most efficient way to operate. If they had the data, they'd pound on the data rather than pounding on the table.

Instead I suspect that there's immense political pressure to bring warm bodies to offices because the waste of resources is load bearing for the macro economy. It's a paradox of thrift situation: if we actually become efficient then a lot of people are going to need to take a substantial writedown. These people aren't going to take that writedown without putting up a fight.

Unless there's another book store called Kepler's I'm not familiar with, it isn't. The building is multiple stories, but Kepler's is only on the first floor (and even there, it isn't the only tenant). The upper stories are unrelated office space.

all of which might be true to varying degrees. But what is the role of institutional owners who also have massive investments in downtown office spaces and commercial properties, investments that are now slowly eroded because of remote? I would assume they are applying some pressure through the boards?

I have no proof ATM though. But it would be expected. But futile in the long run, the shift to remote has taken place already.

After the game Carlsen wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I was completely crushed in my game today. This is not to accuse my opponent of anything, who played an amazing game and deserved to win, but honestly, as soon as I saw my opponent was wearing a watch early in the game, I lost my ability to concentrate. I obviously take responsibility for my inability to deal with those thoughts properly, but it’s also incredibly frustrating to see organisers still not taking anti-cheating seriously at all (no transmission delay, spectators walking around the playing hall with smartphones).”

I have a similar story about a set of books from the 80s that weren't as much as inspiration for me and the future, but instead became a major source of forming my own broad general knowledge on core topics: Charlie Brown's 'Cyclopedia.

Every week, at the local grocery store, a new volume would be available for purchase, covering a new subject area (Anatomy, Animals, Aircraft, Watercraft, Electricity, Space, Weather, etc.). I was obsessed. I re-read all 15 of them countless times.

30+ years later, I bought a set off ebay in great shape to read with my kids. Seeing the diagrams and pictures I realized it was the source of many of the facts I know today.

You never know what's going to have an impact on your kids helping them realize what they are (going to be) interested in!
I think it's not really interesting to say so, but by the same definition it would be fair to describe an analog circuit that models some system as understanding the system in some capacity.

It's more interesting when the thing doing the understanding is a massive system that has both mastered English and other domains and then incidentally modeled some systems English can describe. An analog circuit that models artillery trajectories "understands" one kinematic equation. But that's kind of obvious and mundane. Understanding just one equation barely registers as profound and without that understanding existing in a larger context the word barely seems applicable.
