Is that the overwhelming opinion of legal scholars?

I think I would be just fine with a change like that. If sales of a product can be restricted, why should advertising for that product need to be unrestricted?

It doesn't feel to me like advertising is more of a fundamental right than engaging in sales.
> Can you restate that for me

Definitely. I appreciate when someone asks for clarity.

The part I was talking about was “denying the child the satisfaction” as in the parent intentionally frustrating the child to teach them a lesson. I tried to take a shortcut by using the same wording as the person I replied to but I can see how that made it unclear.

The point I meant to make is that if a parent uses that technique to teach lessons in that way it’s likely that the child learns to use that technique themselves and turn it on the parent.

Further: If a child learns this type of technique from a parent it can be very hard to stop them from using it.
This is a helpful and concise explanation. As I read the article, I continually wondered when custom elements would appear, and was surprised that they didn't. Adding this context around the link you mention would help.

(I didn't click on the link because I was focused on absorbing your article in one go; now that I've looked at the link, I think that your sentence is much more concise for the reader.)
How exactly does this work, in your opinion? Does "The Government" (one entity) somehow decide on something like this and forces a specific judge to rule in a certain way? If something like this was uncovered, it'd be way bigger than this lawsuit.

It's quite literally impossible for apple to be do the same, because they've banned installing apps at all on their platform. Clearly the right move for Google would have been to do the same 15 years ago and saved themselves the headache.
Yep, language runtimes are an (inevitably?) large attack surface. My understanding is that OpenBSD userspace processes can voluntarily limit their own syscall behavior with pledge[1], so a Python program (or the interpreter itself) could limit the scope of a particular process. But I have no idea how common that is.

That's where I disagree with this approach. IMO sending over fully rendered views just because some state changed is antithetical to the UI needs. UI is the state that users interact with.

I believe your whole analysis is correct, that running an elf file with an openbsd.syscalls entry with .sysno > INT_MAX will allow an out-of-bounds write.
machine learning applications have existed for a long time. [...] The difference is that under current techniques, these models are just much more powerful and accurate today.

and now you are suggesting that if these are to be regulated, they should effectively stop becoming better? what would be the point of that?

Everything affects a person's life

well, yes, so there must be a way to force a company to reverse a change that affects me.

kneecapping models doesn't prevent a company from disabling an electronic lock or closing my account. these are problems that already exist regardless of what caused those changes. google or facebook should not be allowed to terminate users unless they can prove fraud. how they arrived at the decision is quite irrelevant. insurance companies should not be allowed to deny coverage without a human verifying the decision, and also not without a human who is able to reverse a decision. weaker models are not going to enforce that, unless the models are so weak that they become useless. again, what would be the point of that?

until recently those models were not good enough. i read that as: they were useless for serious applications. they were research under development. we have been working on this for decades, and only now we are approaching the point where these tools actually become useful.

but the impetus for regulation is that these models are being used and yet still do not work well enough. they do make mistakes, and those mistakes need to be supervised and fixed if needed. if they would work perfectly to the point that an affected person can get them to reverse decisions, then this would be less of an issue.

i agree with you that the current regulations are difficult, but i do not see the benefit in regulating how those models are built instead. the damage happens at the interface between human and machine, and to prevent humans from getting hurt that interface is what needs to be regulated.

what you are suggesting sounds to me like proposing that knives made from steel are to dangerous, because a steel blade doesn't become dull fast enough. so we should instead only make knives from wood to make them weaker. but a wooden blade can still kill. so really what needs to be regulated is how the knives are used, not how they are made.
Not when you're paying for it to be non-optional.
Why not?

They can get help if they want to get over the addiction and otherwise they can get a job so they can get a place to do drugs legally.

They are a part of society and their actions have negative consequences for others. We regulate that.
My favorite part is the bit about the crew member’s chocolate. For some reason I get a kick out of imagining a federal official diligently scribbling notes on a pad while a flight attendant confidently asserts that they knew this man was suspicious when he dared try to steal their chocolate.
I think selling hard drugs being criminal is OK. But the US should actually do something with the severe addicts rather than just tossing them in prison, or creating laws against that and leaving them on the streets.

Mandatory rehabilitation would do a lot. But rehabilitation would work much worse in an environment where relapse is easily attainable, anyone who has had any kind of addiction will tell you that.

I think part of the problem is people with no real experience pushing their narrative. Many honest drug addicts will tell you the actual solutions that will be around wholistic rehabilitation: withdrawals treatments, reintegration into society, no permanent records, removing stigma. And some would prefer to be funneled into that rather than go to rehabilitation by free will. Free will stands no chance against a heroin or meth addiction.

My family member works in a psychiatric clinic in Central Europe. They deal with severe addictions. They have proper rehabilitation programs with dedicated facilities where people with severe addictions that have led to mental disorders learn to reintegrate with life, attend job interviews, take care of themselves, and so on. I have spent my childhood around these people as family members of clinicians would attend various events (Christmas parties, weddings, funerals, other outings, etc) and I have not felt threatened by anyone in rehabilitation.

But yeah, what I see in West Coast cities is threatening. It’s a day and night difference between that and proper care for hard drug addicts though. West Coast is what ignoring the problem looks like. Central Europe is what solving the problem looks like. In both cases, hard drug sales are not legal.

And the solution is ridiculously simple. If someone is acting out in public due to drugs, police would be called. The police would deliver them to a psychiatric clinic in a municipal hospital. The clinic would put them in a ward and on a rehab program, start withdrawals management, set up a social worker for employment, and so on. It would take several months to rehabilitate someone and some people would go through the program a few times. Not all of it is easy and the taxpayer pays for the healthcare. But that’s the cost of solving this problem, and that does solve it.

How do you define “low wages”? Current minimum wage in Seattle is $18.69/hr, which is higher than the median wage in several US States and almost all of Europe. Cost of living is high but not that much higher than the more expensive parts of Europe.

There are legitimate causes for the blight in Seattle but lack of jobs and low wages aren’t one of them.

Accessing, extracting and storing shelf data in the CPG space is really messy and a constant wrestle.

NIQ get their data from multiple sources and also via partnerships and along with their credibility amongst executives their only moat is their data and so I can understand why they would limit access to it.

For smaller companies, using web data from omni-channel platforms is a possibility but not without challenges. Platforms have become increasingly weary and make changes every week to make the job of those extracting data more difficult.

It's interesting how perfectionism is a fatal flaw... yet it stands up quite nicely to the test of time.

The main application for this is where you have detail data for parent records in a snowflake pattern. In that case SQL tends to require a ridiculous number of queries, where common formats like JSON and XML are capable of transferring hierarchical data like that in a single response. That is a major weakness of SQL and the common inability to return a hierarchical set of relations in one response in particular.

Also, running a ridiculous number of queries in parallel is not practical on many databases due to per connection overhead, a problem that is so severe that many databases have internal many-to-one connection demultiplexers already, i.e. they have N execution engines for M connections. That should sound familiar to those who are familiar with threading models.

That's not entirely true. Singapore definitely has very few drug problems, but there are still drugs (and violent addicts). Drug arrests make the news at least once a month.

To be clear, I'm 100% behind Singapore's drug laws. Not having to deal with psychotic methheads is my #1 thing about this place (compared with Australia).

But I do wonder if their laws would work elsewhere (i.e. some place that's not a tiny island with a culturally conservative population).

Luckily enough I have just finished my PhD on optical wireless receivers. While it is truly fascinating, I think it's fundamentally over-hyped as a technology and I doubt it'll ever replace conventional RF communications.

I have issues with 802.11bb - I feel like the old guard of ex-RF engineers are trying to force OFDM as the technology to be used, when it realistically makes more sense to use OOK as it is operating at baseband (some members of the board have even published papers showing that it shouldn't use OFDM!). Overall it feels like a political statement of saying "we now have OWC standards!" when the technology is fundamentally flawed and likely will never materialise for end users.
