So you're blaming victims for being mugged -- or worse? Because they weren't "prudent" enough?

Rather than realizing that dark areas create opportunities for criminals where they won't be recognized, or caught on camera, and where they can escape without people spotting them?

The lower rates of crime in Japan are due to cultural factors. And lighting doesn't change cultural factors.
I was a consistent Firefox user, probably for the past 15 years, but I recently switched to Brave and Edge after too much frustration with power consumption. Firefox makes my laptop shriek, while the other 2 normally don't cause the fan to start at all.

Monero is already untraceable.
"Someone else will figure that out" isn't a valid response when the question is whether or not something is any good, because to know if it's any good you need to know what it actually does. Retreating into "nothing is ever perfect" is just an excuse for doing something worse instead of something better because no one can be bothered, and is how we get so many terrible laws.
Consent is not a request where the consumer has to make a decision to accept or deny, in EU consent is an opt-in activity.

So there is a clear default state - doing nothing is the same thing as refusing a request, and refusing to even read any requests is a perfectly legitimate way of doing nothing. There is no legal or moral reason to afford the request any attention or consideration, if you're ignoring it, then you're not opting in, and the site has very clear explicit information that it doesn't have your consent.
Practice and willingness to fail and clown around is key. As an english teacher I've always liked to bring up cross-lingual interference - you're always going to accidentally bring in sounds from your own language into the one you're learning.

I'm no linguist, but English has also drawn a lot from other neighboring languages. Understanding a bit of French, Dutch or German helps a lot with understanding which English words are pronounced in which way. It's not random is what I mean.

I once knew a EU parlament translator and linguist with 6+ languages under his belt. When he visited us in Poland he would not shut up - he tried reading every sign, every word, kept asking how it's pronounced. Just continuously played with language, like a software developer does with code. When he was leaving after a two day stay he had a lot of Polish quite well figured out, it was really impressive. But he was just really willing to fail over and over and over in all social interactions.

More anarchy than the feudalism for the moment.

The main Stable Diffusion models themselves are licensed under Creative ML OpenRAIL-M, and freely available third-party models exist; OpenAI gets stick for not making their models downloadable (at least GPT-x does, though nobody seems to care too much about them keeping the DALL•E 2/3 models private), other players are making and distributing other LLMs of varying quality.

That said, we do also have actual reasons to be concerned about this remaining anarchic (though a lot of people very loudly scoff at them), so who knows what the future will bring on that axis.

There's no new law. This is just someone's interpretation of existing tax law. You'll be hard-pressed to gain anything worthwhile from this. Doubt it will even exceed the standard deduction so no one takes it. If you do the whole "this area is my work space" deduction, you increase your chance of being audited. And then all the gains are wasted in handling that thing which is a bloody hassle.

Yes, that's where I think financial regulators are heading. And anyone who thinks for one second of course sees that these are also problems with cash that drug cartels deal with by sending bales of $100 bills around. And so we added kyc and discourage cash.

Apple is showing that an iPhone Pro can be used by _professionals_ to replace their existing camera. It’s not trying to replace an entire studio (yet). That would be like expecting a new centrifuge machine to replace an entire lab of equipment. Nobody expects an average user to compete with professionals, even if they were given a $20k RED camera.
That depends on what we mean by feature of course.... let's assume we mean concepts... here's my list:
Believe it or not, Cobol's formatting for printed reports -- we still do print and formatted output worked well there. Modula-2s imports -- C++ is getting there, but imports just worked. Lisp's macros had their day. I think we could benefit from stepping away from "make a better C++" and ask "what is this language trying to do?" There's no universal "best" language, but one immediate benefit I'd like to see -- let's finally agree on a universal calling convention, at least on Linux for example, so every language can call another? Let's give credit to Microsoft's CLR on that one. Also, golang's getting the idea with structure tags, but how about structs that serialize to a universal format -- see Corba is not dead!
The technologyto bridge that gap exists. When we do hybrid meetings at work we do so in a videoconferencing room with two 75" screens and a device that zoom on the person currently speaking, it's surprisingly good.

No reason such an insurance company couldn't be run in the early/mid 20th century manner, entirely with paper records. Send carbon copies of all documents to two remote locations to eliminate the threat of a fire wiping out the records.

This is easy. It requires you to hire a lot of human clerks, but since the customers are large businesses that means there aren't a whole lot of customers in the first place. And if you can't get enough typewriters, there's no reason the clerk work couldn't be done on computers connected to printers, with all document storage still being done on paper. If the computers get pwned, throw them out and buy new ones; it doesn't matter because the documents weren't being stored on those computers.
The subject of a CV is the human, but the subject of a map is the place. Removal of borders removes the concept of a citizen, but maps are concerned with the concept of an area. Nothing of value is lost. In more practical terms, I have not encountered maps that explicitly mention the concept of a citizen, other than by drawing nation-state borders, or those that are concerned with immigration (but for those, it's a relevant concept).
Newer gTLDs can start price gouging you at any time. Don't use them.
I would be surprised if this argument is borne by the facts. Sure, Bill Gates would be a trillionaire now if Microsoft remained private for longer but for every company that sees tremendous growth after IPO, how many see their shares sink. This investment strategy only works if you are able to predict the top of the market for individual private companies which is likely incredibly hard to do. Given the power law of returns in VC, you only need to get this wrong once or twice before you wipe out the returns of your fund.

As for the idea that PE firms are buying up SFH, I would be surprised if this is happening on a meaningfully large scale (anecdotes aside). Homes are real physical assets that need all sorts of actual maintenance on an ongoing basis. I don't know of any investment firm that is set up in a way that supports this type of operational burden. Even if they outsourced the work, it still wouldn't make sense to have any management overhead to keep on top of it. Investment firms want assets that can exist (for all practical purposes) inside of a spreadsheet. Homes are the opposite of that.
I cheat on games that i got cheap (or "free" via xbox for windows) because i want to "finish" the game, but i also have dozens of other things vying for my time and attention.

How is that any different from someone who attended a rural public high school?

Many of the school districts in my area have consolidated, and it's not even possible to verify attendance of students from the small schools that no longer exist.

To my knowledge, there is no "accreditation" that matters for public high schools - there are only thresholds for which state funding is available.

On the other hand, the article could also just be the expression of a strongly held personal belief about some injustice in the world.

The virtue signaling meme tends to be a way of denigrating strongly held beliefs that conflict with the person calling “virtue signaling” in some way, and frankly is a virtue signal of its own. There’s literally no need to call people out for “virtue signaling” other than to stand up themselves for other like minded (often conservative) folks.

Frankly I read this as more a strongly held personal belief that something was wrong and they are doing their small thing against it. They could have just done their actions in silence, but that’s not nearly as effective as enlisting your fellows in the cause you identify.

I personally didn’t know any of the history, and while I take the stated facts with a grain of salt. But I found it an interesting read, and if it is largely true, what happened is outrageous. I’m not divesting my TLD, but it definitely sickens me to know this happened and my country is complicit and actively a part of it.
To add to the understanding of Penn and Teller, they love their fans and beyond. I've been to two of their shows and their efforts are to entertain and teach you about scams and confidence games so that you question what you see and are being told. They go to great lengths to tell you how they are scamming you and then show you the trick and still trick you so you aren't so confident. You're not as smart as you think you are. At the end of the show they meet with the audience at the main entrance to take pictures with them and show their appreciation. They should be a high school credit.

I'm sure the usual suspects (Synopsys, Broadcom, ARM, Xilinx, etc.) would be happy to license something. But from what I can see all the big players make their own. I guess they're easy enough to implement yourself (as a big player) and important enough to not want to leave it in the hands of a third party.

There are also likely opportunities for additional efficiencies when you make a custom {en,de}coder for your system. I suspect (but haven't confirmed) that the typical Intel/AMD/Nvidia/Apple multi-function media engine isn't just a collection of completely independent encoder/decoder blocks for each codec but a kind of simplified specialized microcoded CPU with a collection of fixed-function blocks which can be shared between different codecs. So it could have blocks that do RGB->YUV conversion, Discrete Cosine Transforms, etc. and you can use the same DCT block for AV1, HEVC, and AVC. Maybe you can also create specialized efficient ways to transfer frames back and forth with the GPU, for sharing cache with the GPU, etc.
To your point, where do you draw the line? Obviously the thumb tip was a secret once.

True, but in classical magic you should hide that fact as much as possible. They're intentionally drawing attention to it, if only over time (and you could still miss it if you're not thinking about it, so maybe I shouldn't use the word "obviously", depends on the audience I suppose).

Yet they still complied with U.S. sanctions. (Or were arrested abroad for defying them.)

You seem to misunderstand that sanctions are not a treaty obligation. If your country deals with a sanctioned entity, it gets sanctioned as well. That enforces compliance indirectly. America and and does unilaterally extend sanctions.

What's wrong with .eu domains?
The problem is when this leads to things like diabetes or other conditions which are not as easily fixed as just "being fat or weak." As mentioning, the services are experimenting with a "pre-boot camp," and it's proving to be more difficult that just "eat right and move." Among other things, kids that spent a childhood on the couch or a desk chair in front of a console or computer, and then start exercising, are at extreme risk for stress fractures and things of that nature which set the whole process even further back.

What's more, mental health standards haven't caught up with this generation's increased willingness to seek treatment for things like depression and anxiety, both of which are HUGE pain trains to get waivered, if not outright showstoppers.

And to top it all off, google "MHS Genesis." It's a program that was rolled out that gives the doctors at MEPS (the medical inprocessing people) access to kids' full electronic health records. So now the old standby of "forgetting" to mention something is gone . . . they see it all. And they wonder why the amount of medical disqualifications spiked! Well, because since time immemorial, kids would lie on the form to be able to join, and now they can't. And now for every kid who had no business in uniform, and who cost inordinate pain and paperwork to kick out, you now also bounce a kid who would have had a successful 20-year career but for some doc reading something in a book about a .001% chance of a problem with X.

Guilt by association and/or ad hominem are weak sauce. What part was factually inaccurate?

• That storage is soldered unlike the vast majority of laptops on the market, which use standard NVMe sticks?

• That the BIOS is stored in those soldered SSD chips making a single point of failure?

• That if even one of the chips fails, you lose all the data including the BIOS boot logic and brick the device?

• That the board layout sends 13v down the rail directly to the aforementioned SSD chips on capacitor failure?

• That they cannot be repaired anymore, even by experienced professionals?

• That replacement parts that aren't severely compromised (unknown number of write cycles for SSD chips) simply aren't available?

Which part is false and requires a disclaimer? And I ask this as someone who has personally used Macs exclusively on the client since 2003 and professionally since 2011. Owned nothing but iPhones since the original was released in 2007. 5 iPads in total.

It's not really a flaw in algorithms nor a skill in humans.

It's (also?) a weakness in humans: someone mostly does X, we lean very strongly into the assumption that they will never do !X. This is one of the most basic elements of human-to-human deceipt since ... well, since the dawn of any kind of recorded/remembered human history.
I'm not sure why you're using the term 'scolded' -- who is doing the scolding? who is being scolded?

When you say that ~ scolding won't do it ~ (particularly in this context) you're telling people that they shouldn't even mention that there is a problem, because that's just scolding people and it's apparently pointless.

I wanted to point this out because you (correctly) identified tolerance of bad behaviour (in boys, men) as a contributing factor to the sorry state we're in. I agree that the negative attitudes and bad behaviours perpetually on display by men are pretty deeply set by the time they are adults. I don't agree that telling people (particularly boys) that they're doing something wrong is pointless.

If you don't stop it, it won't stop.
That may well be true, but it's not what the article is about. The article is about individuals removing personal data from GenAI products.

I understand your point, of course everyone is not evil and whatever. But you also sunk money into your office, maybe you signed a long term lease or own office buildings. Even if you don't own it, you put time and effort into it and don't want to give it up. As a potential employee, I don't care if the company put money into their office, I don't want to ride the bus both ways and suffer a half hour or more each way to go there. I'm only taking work from home jobs. I'm switching and interviewed with a big company and medium companies. The big company insisted on 3 day a week in office time, I got an offer for similar money and said no. Actually I got two offers for wfh companies, I just stopped waiting on other big co to get through their interview process.
