Your math is wrong because you say that Google spends 0 dollars at the moment to fight scam ads.

If it is true, then Google execs should be in jail right now.

And proves point again that Google does not care about filtering content and it is profitable to accept money from criminals.

Ofcourse if your paycheck depends of criminals money then it is very dumb to share that profit to hire more people to fight malware content.

In my country there are many Google scam ads which feature local celebrities/doctors, but it is impossible to remove those ads, because Google never removes them. Zero response from Google. Even Police cannot help because nobody from Google responses.

So I guess it is intentional to spread those spam ads.

Even if users report those ads, Google 99% of time never takes an action to remove spam ads.

With few thousand people you can remove those reported ads...
The puppy mills aren't running ads, they're using Groups and doing their advertising on the comments sections of local animal shelters. It's grotesque.

A post will be like "Meet Billy, he's been here at the shelter for 2 years," get a few sympathy comments and be followed up with a "look, we have puppies for sale!"

Is obesity really that much of a puzzle? Have you ever looked back in US history and taken a look at portion sizes through the decades? Not year-by-year, I mean across decades and decades, average portion sizes are staggeringly different.

The meals we collectively eat are different.

Remember peak "Super Size Me"? By the time that movie had come out, portion sizes from McDonalds had already shrunk significantly. Then they removed the size option, but that wasn't the height of fast food consumption at all. It occurred at least two to three decades prior.
Hey! My friend alerted me to this thread, but it's been a really nice read seeing everyone's experiences with the game.

I'm one of the team working on the sequel now! If you have questions or want to learn more, please come join us: https://pistolshrimpgames.com/get-involved/ - we have a pretty active Discord, we've released our Super Melee prototype freely, and we are even making and releasing a pretty neat (I'm biased) gameplay engine that the whole thing runs on. People have made their own ships and even their own games with it!
Visually and physically, Palestinians and Israelis are virtually impossible to distinguish. Some of them obviously can be distinguished by their fashion choices and circumstance, but physically they're basically identical. There are instances of people posting pictures of injured or scared Palestinian children mistaking them for Israeli children, their confusion evident from their outraged remarks accompanying the picture, then deleting the post shortly later when somebody points out their mistake.

https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/jamie-l...

Somebody could probably run this trick deliberately to make a point; go around to American evangelical churches using pictures of Palestinians presented as Israelis to tear-jerk the (overwhelmingly zionist) evangelical Christians, then reveal the truth to them. Maybe the message would get through to a few.

It's not that somebody might contact me shortly.

It is that somebody might contact me in 10 years, and at that point I'll have no idea about the context or how to "defend myself" because I won't know what they're talking about.

> if you somehow managed to dominate a market to complete exclusion of meaningful competitors, if you fail to grow, you are failing

This is a trope in Silicon Valley, but it's simply not true. Most companies in a developed economy aim for a stable state, i.e. close to zero real growth with payments made to investors via sole proprietorship pay-outs, dividends and/or debt.

Now a growth company is worth more than a stable-state one, ceteris paribus, so there are incentives to promise it. If your promise growth and fail to grow, you are failing. That doesn't mean the company is failing. It's just mismanaged and likely misrepresented by its capital structure.
Red Hat (and other) EULAs have always been "against" the GPL. For example by limiting the amount of nodes you can run the software on. What they did now was close a loophole that implicitly said "if you repackage our software and distribute it separately you can ignore everything else in this agreement".

They explicitly acknowledge that the EULA does not impose restrictions on rights granted by the software licenses[0]:

> 1.4 End User and Open Source License Agreements. [...] This Agreement establishes the rights and obligations associated with Subscription Services and is not intended to limit your rights to software code under the terms of an open source license.

So users are still free to fork and redistribute any code obtained through the subscription. Red Hat just may refuse to do further business if you do so.

To me the "spirit" of the GPL is in collaboration. All of Red Hats software projects are still available in public forges for anyone to fork and contribute. An evil or antisocial move would be to take Ceph, Podman, systemd, etc behind closed doors and require a subscription that terminates if you exercise GPL rights. But that is not what is happening here.

Yea, that's true - but has little to do with the fact it's a genetic data site. A family tree site with private profiles would have the exact same risk.

The fact that the genetic data isn't involved means this story isn't relevant to people panicking about sharing their genetic data with 23&me.
It's a matter of scale. If you or I individually have a moderately clever and determined local enemy, with access to an average garage toolbox and some commodity PC accessories, who is not afraid of legal consequences for stealing your information...it would take a lot less than $500 to get your information.

The difference, and the reason this exploit is a big deal, is that a huge swath of our economy and society is in The Cloud. There are extremely, extremely clever enemies who (like our local hypothetical) are unafraid of legal consequences, because they're protected by online anonymity and possibly thousands of miles of open ocean and countries without extradition treaties. But they're not determined in the slightest! If it takes 60 seconds or costs $0.06 to break your unique configuration it's not worth it to them.

It doesn't concern me that my coworker has a coffee cup in their desk drawer that contains sticky notes for some of their most important passwords. By the time there's a human being inside our building digging through desk drawers, we've pissed someone off far too much for that to be the weak link.

I am concerned that said coworker does not use the same password on their pizza delivery app as they do on our work accounts, because it's only a matter of time before the former suffers a leak of ten million plaintext password-email combos, and tries pointing automated ransomware at all of the associated domains.

Could it be evidence of cultural change?

Most of the ethnicities we associate with Europeans are Indo-European in origin: pastoral, patriarchal nomads who swept down from the steppe in the distant past.

If the pre-Indo-Europeans disappeared quickly enough or were culturally overwhelmed, it makes sense that unfamiliar foods from the sea would be ignored by agriculture oriented steppe people.
> It is true, I think, that most of our body fat comes from our diet

I am pretty sure your assumption is wrong. Stored fat has no correlation with the composition of your diet, but only with the amount of excess calories.

Ethereum wouldn't exist without validated cryptographic primitives. Now, EIP-7212 introduces a P-256 (secp256r1 EC) precompile. But, for P256, the seed is c49d360886e704936a6678e1139d26b7819f7e90 and we still don't know how it has been exactly calculated! We want to change that! Very proud to announce the seeds-bounty.eth.

eBPF allows for some in-kernel logic, which can allow for filtering of data before it ever gets to userland. This can make it much faster than audit. eBPF is also much easier to extend with more complex logic since you can write near-arbitrary programs.

Certification isn't required to be compliant, and I'd argue that very few people actually care or refer to it in the real world.

It meets the same bar that all of the other "mostly compliant" OSes listed on the POSIX wiki page meet: you can write code against a POSIX stdlib and it'll work without involving a VM as long as you stick to some subset of interfaces and behaviors.

WSL1's compliance was actually larger than most of the OSes on that list. The last time I asked Mentor Graphics which parts of POSIX they supported on Nucleus they said "tell us what APIs your application needs and we'll implement them" (anything beyond PSE51 was largely unimplemented). Zephyr is nice enough to actually document their limitations, but the support is far from comprehensive either:

Indeed, the value of BB(n) for each n is just a number; and it's easy to construct a TM which outputs some particular number. However, we don't know what those TMs are, for the same reason we don't know what those BB(n) numbers are.

The same applies to more limited settings too, e.g. boolean questions like whether the Collatz conjecture holds: I know that one of the following programs calculates the right answer, but I don't know which:

- PRINT "true"; HALT

- PRINT "false"; HALT

(Perhaps we should also allow `PRINT "independent of the given axioms"; HALT` as well!)
I will share an anecdote. A friend of mine, his dad owned a construction company. I was talking to him at a party and made a comment that was fairly anti union thinking he’d agree with the sentiment. His response was he loved unions because they gave him access to the best workers. He had 2 unions represented in his company, and his experience was that union workers were objectively better than non union workers. This surprised me because I couldn’t fathom a world where a capitalist would prefer to have unions in his company.

As to why a talented free agent would want to join a union. It seems to me that in an industry with strong union presence then union is obvious to join. It provides so many protections and adds leverage to intangibles that even high earning individuals can’t negotiate for.
Was there ever a case of a convict getting caught by their direct DNA being found in one of these databases? I thought all cases where correlated from relatives. Government gets DNA sample, asks the databases: 'who do you know that's a genetic relative of this suspect?' and then they go and interrogate that person's every third cousin. You can't keep your family tree private, your birth certificate is out there. Opting out of 23andMe won't help you here.

Until then, don’t disparage people trying to earn money.

You’re correct about algorithms that do “human” things with text, but you need to think of more examples.

That’s how you write hashing algorithms, checksums, and certain trivial parsers.[0]

But most importantly, right or wrong, this code is out there, running today, god knows where, and you do not slow it down from O(n) to O(n^2).
This was in the 1850s. Babbabe was not trying to make a machine that thinks like a human. He designed a mechanical calculator capable of automatically solving differential equations, not a chatbot capable of holding a conversation with the user.

Perhaps the Difference Engine was described as a "mechanical brain" or something similar and that gave the MP the wrong expectation. He wasn't being insightful, only confused.

That's exactly what makes developing a replacement difficult. It's not the software. I'm sure that a very large majority of people here could write that in a reasonable amount of time.

But the software isn't really the main value that Bandcamp provides. For a service to replace Bandcamp, it needs to be trustworthy and have a track record of doing right by both artists (and mostly small indie artists) and audiences. That takes time.

Are there real humans at Google who actually answer email?

Google's strategy has always been to focus on the things that scale. Having a human answer a phone or a mail doesn't scale, so no customer service for the users.

I think this is also the reason why these ads get through: to detect them they rely for a large part on crowd-sourcing: that "report a problem" link is IMHO one of their main mechanisms to deal with filtering out the bad ones. If more get through then it might indicate that the scale is tipping to the point that crowd-sourcing relies on too few people who go through the effort.

Plain text as a storage format is fine; it's inefficient, but has longevity benefits you mention.

Plain text as representation to read, write and edit is also fine - many things are best expressed this way, and text lends itself to be edited efficiently by advanced tools (e.g. vim, Emacs, or sed, awk, etc.)

The issue is not with either of them alone. The problem seems from using the same plaintext documents for both storage and representation simultaneously.

The solution is to have a storage format optimized for storage - which could just as well stay plaintext - but all reading, writing and editing to be done through tools that render you a representation best suited for what you need at the moment. This could be plaintext prose now, plaintext code an hour from now, and a pile of editable, graphical state machine diagrams tomorrow.

What I was taught in macroeconomics in this topic (excuse me if I get something wrong, it’s been a few years)

In general it’s very expected unemployment to „generally“ be higher in Germany.

Because it’s harder to fire people here, people also get hired somewhat slower.
However in the flip side it’s also expected that during harsh economic times people will be fired less because of how „hard“ it is to hire people.

So it’s a trade-off.
You are begging the question, though? Yes, we clearly consume more. As simplistic as the in/out hypothesis is, that part is not really up for debate. The question is why do we consume more.

It is conceivable that it is just the availability, of course. Plenty of pet owners have found that some pets will eat as long as food is available, while some others will not. Trying to understand that seems like a good target.
