If you're regularly getting warrants against innocent people, someone needs to be fired and/or jailed.

If there's any part of your process that is regularly putting innocent people into the line of fire of police, something is wrong and needs to change.

You're entirely too cavalier about the risks associated with this, which was the point of the previous posters 40% metric.

IOW, No one is afraid of a gun until it's pointed at them or their loved ones. And that's being fair to your blaise attitude.
Having a gun pointed at you is a threat to your life, not “the money of your boss”. Minimum wage or not, their life has value, and they should be to defend it by meeting deadly force with deadly force.

There is no incentive to do so, on the contrary, the metrics for the SA are quantitative and focused on scale, not one-on-one interactions.

Of course, if you are a large customer, have interesting projects that can be used to improve one's promodoc, the SA has a good manager etc., it's another story.
Beyond a certain point organic forms have a kind of messy distributed recursion that non-organic forms aren't.

At very small scales it's hard to tell the difference. The morphology is basically blobby, and blobs look like blobs.

But even if you ignore colouration and texturing, it's optimistic to claim that random chemistry can produce something that looks exactly like an ammonite, a moose, or a human. Repeatedly.

I would be surprised if there wasn't some morphological entropy measure that predicted this with workable reliability.

I suppose the claim is "We don't know where life starts." Which is fair enough. But we certainly know how it becomes more complex as it diverges from non-living systems.
That will make for a lot of sewage.
This happened to a childhood friend in St. Louis, Missouri. He opened a restaurant/bar and was mildly successful for a year or so. Then some dude came into his restaurant, flashing a badge, saying he needed to pay for additional security because of recent complaints, even though my friend had never heard of any complaints. My friend asked what "additional security" meant, and the dude told him that marked police cars would drive by every once in awhile. So, basically nothing "additional" at all. Anyway, my friend refused, and the dude left. Almost immediately, the "additional" police cars showed up outside his restaurant. They were constantly parked across the street, where they waited to pull-over nearly every car that left the restaurant. They issued numerous DUI citations, even to people that didn't have anything to drink. They impounded cars for chickenshit reasons. Business at my friend's restaurant plummeted - no one wanted to be harassed by the cops, and risk getting a DUI. My friend eventually had to close his restaurant.

This was a few years ago, and when my friend told me about it, I just kept thinking he was talking about The Sopranos. But he wasn't; he was talking about the real-life police.
I formerly worked for a small RealEstate aggregation/publication software company with large market adoption, and a well-known competitor started deep linking to the images within our custom-written resizing image cache server, and continued to do so after several polite requests to stop. Image traffic is the bulk of network traffic for RealEstate data, and their stollen traffic was very significant, cutting into our own available bandwidth and costs.

We slyly added referrer-based logic which would, with 1/20 probability, serve the Goatse.cx image instead.

Needless to say, within 48hrs we never received another deep link request from that competitor.
A long time *ago I read re: Feynman's divorce that false accusations of abuse were common back then because no-fault divorce didn't exist. Couples that wanted a divorce would have to concoct a story in order to get a judge to sign off. I don't have strong feelings either way because it's impossible to know what really happened between them, but I found it an interesting counterpoint.
This entire topic has gotten harebrained, so I’ll add to the fire: the part of our population that had a problem getting vaccinated would have responded much better to a perceived threat from a tangible adversary.

I think the DoJ case is deep enough that a trivial search via the way back machine isn’t going to sink it.

It’s really pathetic that Google is happy to profit off of these theft sites. They will never fix their search results because they are the ones selling the ads on behalf of the scammers. Break up the monopoly.

There is no "other" side of Hamas that doesn't want to kill all the Jews. This is a delusion of someone unfamiliar with situation. They may differ in methods. The side that does fundraising in Western countries knows that being openly anti-Semitic will negatively affect their fundraising activities... so, they aren't that stupid. They want the money / resources and they will pretend for as long as necessary to get those sweet donations. They will promptly give those donations to the other side though.
I think a lot of it might be the overall weaker EU labor market.

US unions can extract short-term benefits if the workers can hop to a comparable employer easily when the employer collapses. If workers in the EU are bound to an employer for 20 years, you need a long time-view.
> If you didn’t, but saw the pilot of Park Street Under, you didn’t miss much. They were teeth-gnashingly similar.

This is the head writer of Park Street Under. He's writing an article about the extent to which Cheers copied his show.

He quotes zero lines between the two shows that are similar.

There's another article that goes into more detail:

https://www.bostonmagazine.com/arts-entertainment/2018/03/20...

From that one it seems clear that the similarity is the choice of character roles and the setting, and not at all in the lines of the scripts for the pilot or any of the other episodes.

It stinks that they lifted those things. But that's not what I had assumed when I read the word "plagiarized" in OP's comment.

(To the head writer's credit, he never used that word.)

Edit: clarification
Most humans with a gun pointed at them would take the option. Meeting deadly force with deadly force is far from a murder fantasy, in fact, self defense is an exemption to murder statutes, and for good reason.
In Sweden there are not separate places for the first count. The votes are counted once at the polling station and then moved and count again centrally by hand.
Well if your integers are sequential you can encode huge numbers of them using diff + RLE in just a few bytes, likely far fewer than 1/2 a byte on average, for the right dataset (in theory you can store 1,2,3,4,5...10_000 in 2 bytes).

But for other integer datasets there's FastPFOR

https://github.com/lemire/FastPFor

The linked papers there will talk about techniques that can be used to store multiple 32bit integers into a single byte, etc. Integer compression is pretty powerful if your data isn't random. The thing with UUIDs is that your data is pretty random - even a UUIDv7 contains a significant amount of random data.

There has been little or no new physical evidence. We have seen new evidence of coverup, though, where scientists privately said there was high likelihood of lab leak in slack messages before publicly signing publications claiming there was no likelihood of lab leak. The leaked slack messages are damning.
Once again, I've never been in a union so I could be wrong, but that's for those locations to unionize and join one of these nation-wide unions.

Depending on the place, its not even always company-wide votes. For instance, there was a push for a few Amazon warehouses to join a union. If those votes had passed, it would have been the workers at that location then represented by the union.

And on top of that, its often only particular jobs that would fall under that union, not all jobs at that facility. That's why the auto companies are doing other layoffs these days, as there are other jobs at the factories that are not a part of the United Auto Workers and are not a part of the strike, but depend on the union workers working for their jobs to not pile up outputs or have no incoming tasks. Its not like all Ford or GM employees are a part of the United Auto Workers.

I'm with you in that I fundamentally believe everyone who desires it should have access to home autonomy. In the sense they are the sole arbiter of actions involving their primary residence, including stable, predictable financing costs.

To me, the biggest problem is the lack of affordable capacity available for primary residence buyers at desired price points.

Which means increasing inventory.

Which means (1) upzoning for density (as most desired locations are land-constrained) & (2) preventing that new inventory from being constructed-as or repurposed-into rentals.

To (2), I'd love to see more efforts to increase costs on large landlords. E.g. a limited-number token system, effectively capping the % of rental properties in an area, with tokens regularly (re-)auctioned off to the highest bidder.

If a giant corporation wants to be a landlord, they shouldn't be able to corner the market.
I think it will be a problem for the corporate types too. Getting exactly what you ask for can be dangerous.

I’m a screenwriter and on a given project I’ll interface with a producer (a semi-corporate type) and a studio exec (a very corporate middle manager type). A big part of my job that AI can’t do any time soon is lying to them and ignoring them. I’ll get instructions (often contradictory instructions) from both of them, and then lie to them about how good their idea is. They feel listened to, but I’ll mostly ignore both of them so that the end product will be something actually good. At the end of the process they happily take credit for the good product and even believe it was their ideas that got it there.

Ah so you’re doing code generation in each target language. Cool, that’s an interesting approach.
I upvote less than once daily. I don't downvote because I make new accounts on occasion.
If you care about compressability, you can simply use a different way of generating UUIDs, instead of switching to another type. For example initializing a 128-bit counter when starting the process and incrementing it for each number generated. This should compress almost as well as sequential integers, while still being collision resistant without coordination or persistent state.

I'm still hoping to be nominated to the billion under billion.

Somehow it feels like I'm missing out on something here.

When I was in high school I learned some definition of life in biology. Later, I realized that this definition does not quite work. Especially, when I see a couple who cannot have a baby. At least one of them would fall out of the definition.

(Maybe this could still be alright if we understand life as a flow of genes and not as visible creatures moving around.)

Then, I came to the conclusion that there is no binary distinction. Essentially, the difference depends on the complexity of the chemical reactions. A human is probably chemically-speaking more complex than a bacterium. And a bacterium is more complex than some organic chemical reaction. After all, these are all chemical reactions. So I'd attribute something like different shades of liveliness to all sorts of things (not to be confused with panpsychism).

In that sense a NN would fit as it computes and outputs floats that represent something gradual. But the text expresses rather something binary.
Sorry, where is this documented that this lab is known for leaks?

To my knowledge, as of 3 months ago, the only “tangible” evidence for a lab leak was that china cleaned up before the WHO arrived and could better investigate.

I can well imagine this was the case; for example, there was a famous case of a "fake" Nazi death camp in Warsaw [1]. I don't understand the background, but for whatever reason it turns out this supposed camp was a right-wing nationalist narrative.

But I can also well imagine, and borderline remember, opposite things happening on Wikipedia too (i.e. Polish wartime history being manipulated and defaced).

I think it's fair to say Wikipedia is like catnip to any organised disinformation group. In particular, something as complex as the Holocaust, in general and also in the context of Polish wartime history, is best not left to a random sample of people with internet connection.

Right, Patlabor is strong even without the mechas.

Something I find amusing about the series is almost half the time they are dealing with ghosts instead of criminals. (Thus Patlabor is much about the uncompleted legacy of the past as it is about the problem of the near future.) Ghosts and ghost stories are huge theme in anime that you might miss because the portrayal of ghosts in anime and western culture are very similar qualitatively, but quantitatively I think they turn up a lot more. It's much like the way religious professionals turn up more in anime than they do in comparable western media. (e.g. "Cherry" the Priest is a major character in Urusei Yatsura in fact he and his niece Sakura were developed before Lum and Ataru were)
>it would seem that consciousnesses are discrete

It may seem that way, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is that way. After all, our brains do an incredible amount of filtering and modulating to deliver our conscious experience such as it is, unified and discrete. If it is as fundamental as the panpsychists believe (and I don't count myself firmly among them, but I have to entertain the possibility), it seems possible, if not likely, that there is a good deal of fuzziness and overlap in and among systems of consciousness.
Yep. Different UUIDs will have different characteristics when compressed. Still, if you can afford to just have '1, 2, 3, ..' as IDs that's hard to beat.

> Serbo-Croatian phonetic spelling is like hardcoding stuff that shouldn't be hardcoded.

Why? I don't get it. It's a very nice feature of Slavic writing: it's phonetic (at least in one direction). And it makes it MUCH easier for native speakers to learn compared to more 'hieroglyphic' languages.

> And it focuses on the wrong stuff - why aren't there any accent markings in everyday writing?

Because the stress pattern can usually be deduced, if you are a native speaker. So accent markers are really needed for exceptions or for non-native speakers.

For human-related endeavors, motivation of the stakeholders is the key part that determines whether something is realistic or not.

All kinds of technical difficulties can be fixed with effort and talent of a few people, but if something requires will of the masses and there's a lack of will, that thing is simply not going to happen no matter what you do - because there's no "just" with respect to lack of will, that's lack of something necessary that you can't easily create.
