Never heard of pizza rat, so there you go: not everyone.

I think the internet - and just life in general - has always been what this article is fretting about. Stuff happens, some people see it, some don't. Nothing to see here.
It went so wrong that a history of computing exists!!!

Anyhow, I don't argue that the security of most current computers is poor, but turning them into appsfromonestore-downloading devices is not the answer.

Companies have redefined advertising to exclude advertising for their own platform (and people will defend this for them and claim that "promotions aren't ads" or something like that).

At this point, we need a bill in Congress to establish that "ads are ads" and that "ad-free must be ad-free".
84% of Americans are worried about the economy. So why do we keep buying things?

A couple of gems here:

> The States felt like an old place, weirdly older than Europe, a place where, for all its breathless movement, time seemed to have stopped. There was too much of everything: rules, work, wealth, poverty, guns, art.

> Perhaps that was why the Communist regimes all across Eastern and Central Europe collapsed in the final run. Not so much because of their beleaguered economies, although that was an important factor, but because no one believed anymore.

I don't have much faith that you would be able to rephrase my argument. You're welcome to try, but so far every retort is against an argument I haven't made.
From the article:

”Browser Blocked

We apologize, but your web browser is configured in such a way that it is preventing this site from implementing required components that protect your privacy and allow you to view and change your privacy settings. This functionality is required for privacy legislation in your region.

We recommend you use a different browser or disable the “EasyList Cookie” filter from your “Content Filtering” settings (found under “Settings” -> “Shields” in the Brave Browser).”

Is this now the recommended way of dealing with users who use adblockers? talking down to them?

I think that this level of professional malpractice is something that can't be solved by language choice.
I also found that it was "closer" in and I couldn't see as many of the enemies. For casting, this was an issue.
Old enough to see titties perhaps, but not to parasocially live-chat about them, or send cash tips.
Sure, but my point is that this flight arriving in darkness is not something they never would have considered when planning the route and setting company policies prohibiting visual approaches at night.
I care, because I don't want to see it when I'm looking to watch a video game stream--there are places for porn. And "well we'll just have opt-in categories" sounds great, except that these categories are thin and (on Twitch especially) not composable; as the purveyors are looking for more clicks, it means trying to rules-lawyer the categories to get in front of eyeballs who are not looking for mature content, because maybe they'll catch more who are.

If their categorization was perfect--sure, go nuts. It's not and it won't be, so it makes for a worse site for me.
Traffic lights have a specific design and orientation which makes it easier to identify which light is on. Plus, they're up on poles or other places around the road. By comparison, the picture in the linked story shows lights that are more or less in the same location as other lights on a car. If you have a difficult time distinguishing color and you look at them while driving or walking, it seems plausible that they'd be harder to distinguish.

I realize there's different types and severity of color blindness, but using color alone (or primarily) seems like not the greatest usability choice. I did consider these things when commenting.
In that case, there would be padding left in every encoded block. The size overhead would weaken the case for Base58 especially if you consider using it for arbitrarily long data.

Maybe there should be a class for visual ILS with the same separation as visual approaches and less chance of error.

Just like visual VFR exists. It would make the use of ILS in these situations easiest.
My A3000 has an HD floppy drive. I was surprised to find that out, as I hadn't been aware that Amigas with these drives existed.

> “Visual approaches in use” is less labor intensive for ATC than instrument approaches in visual conditions. It also allows for higher flow.

It's not unusual for a safety measure to be labour intensive and/or reduce flow.
> due to the fact that the linker needs to do extra work to eliminate redundant instantiations.

Yeah, I see this as another consequence of C++'s poor compilation model:

- Compilation is slow because a template class in your header file gets compiled N times (maybe with precompiled headers). The compiler produces N object files filled with redundant code.

- Then the linker is slow because it needs to parse all those object files, and filter out all the redundant code that you just wasted time generating.

Its a bad design.
As far as I could tell, the policy allowing artistic nudity never existed in practice and Twitch doesn't seem to have been serious about it. Even though it was supposedly allowed, basically everyone who drew art with genitals or female nipples got their account suspended aside from one or two exceptions that seem to have slipped through the cracks. This wasn't just limited to AI art or anything even vaguely photorealistic either, and it included Twitch partners whose bans are supposedly are handled in house. Also, whilst the Twitch CEO did say that some people had been accidentally banned who were following the rules, Twitch conspicously didn't unban any of them until comfortably after the U-turn. There was also nothing stopping the full, uncensored thumbnails showing up on the Art category page, including for users whose accounts were marked as under-18 - which meant that it was full of naked anime titties.

I do not believe people whom say property is theft as it would mean I can randomly take your personal items as they're not your property, since you don't believe in the concept.

But should you genuinely believe that and walk the talk, fair enough. I'm more of a pragmatist myself.

You can set up a Discord server for free in under 3 minutes. 10 if you want to install all the fancy moderation bots and change the icons and add custom emojis.

There's nothing comparable for forums. FB tried but it's a cesspool of "user engagement", managing groups is a full time job and still doesn't work properly.

Oh, and Discord _has_ a forum-like feature inside it :D
Start looking at Google cloud.

They have VM migration built in and it's transparent as heck. Basically seamless. You might miss a single packet (in my observed experience). This was one of the main reasons I chose them.

They also have managed NFS, but I can't speak to the quality as I've never used it: https://cloud.google.com/architecture/partners/netapp-cloud-...

For me, most of the amusement was that my mind went in a very different direction upon seeing both "leak sensor" and "bed sensor" being mentioned.

Count me in the "I just don't understand why" group too --- I work with enough software in my day job that I really don't want more of it in my life beyond that.
This is why we need a global Iterator / Iterable type. These are iterators at the end of the day after all. That would also signal the fact they could be used for more than one data structure (Array, Map, POJOs)
The person you're responding to has an element of fairness in the point they're making, though.

Straight from Twitch:

> Much content that was previously prohibited is now allowed with proper Content Classification labels: Content that ‘deliberately highlighted breasts, buttocks or pelvic region,’ even when fully clothed, fictionalized (drawn, animated, or sculpted) fully exposed female-presenting breasts and/or genitals or buttocks regardless of gender, body writing on female-presenting breasts and/or buttocks regardless of gender and erotic dances that involve disrobing or disrobing gestures, such as strip teases.

"female-presenting breasts and/or genitals" were acceptable forms of artistic nudity, but male-presenting genitals were not.

LLMs don't do well with that little context and words that are essentially "empty". They occur in all sorts of contexts - like black hole articles.
It's all relative, but supposedly the top 1% had $11M in the US in 2022 (e.g., via https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/financial-advisor/a...). That means, 5 averagely priced houses do not put you in the top 1%, however, 1 big mansion in a nice area could.
Wierd that this is flagged.

I was called in to fix an ETL job that took over 24 hours using all the cloud services. Wrote a go program that did it in less that 15m.
We really need a national program in the US to change the pronunciation. It would be more accurate to actually pronounce it "ooranus".

I think you’d find that the actual physical locations of the bed’s occupants are less relevant than you might think to these accusations, ;)
10 years ago lloyds bank was in a dispute with the customer about their mortgage. Customer alleged one thing, the bank alleged another. The customer no longer had their contract, but the bank did. The customer lost the case, and ended up owing the bank significant sums of money.

A year past, and the customer found his copy of the contract while cleaning house or whatever. If turned out, his copy was radically different form the one provided to him by the bank. It turns out that the bank 'reconstituted' the contract from their digital records. And it turned out nothing like the original.
Terrible stuff gets posted here all the time and the community flags/moderates it.

> he can use big boy words

You're not asking him to use "big boy" words, you're asking him to use your preferred set of terminology from a particular branch of philosophy that you happen to be familiar with, and fuck other philistines who haven't read exactly the same philosophy articles as you have. But of course, he should not use any words that you specifically are not already familiar with, otherwise he'd be a poser acting needlessly erudite. You want him to start from exactly where your specific mental model is and go from there, skipping all the parts you're already familiar with. Basically, you're the main character?
There are so many wild, interesting, contradictory and overlapping concepts in the world. This article covers a few of them using normal people language.

Arguing about niche academic word definitions is just so, so boring. An act of supreme mediocrity.
I don't know what you're going on about. I'll make this as clear as possible:

1. The enabled plugin prompts you to 'activate' the service

2. If you do not activate the service the plugin is enabled but does not use the service

3. There is a minor bug, allegedly (have not reproduced it, and others have tried and failed) where the plugin can be disabled and then it re-enables itself.
I don’t doubt what you say, but I’m flabbergasted that phone use really is that common.

I’ve probably used my phone 5 times while driving in the last two years, and I can’t imagine why anyone would need to do it more than that. I do rely on CarPlay and Siri massively.
Advertisers care, and large conglomerates care about PR backlash, because invariably if you let 18/19yo stream their boobs (legal and extremely popular) then 17.9yo will also do it and suddenly you’re trafficking in child pornography and a threat to the very fabric of society (as well as subject to nontrivial criminal liability).
ABLs are nice to have and printers should have them. But every so often, a manual bed level with a piece of paper goes a long way. Especially if you have a budget friendly printer.
Why don’t they just add a filter that is off by default and requires opting in and age verification? Is it purely legal liability and brand perception here, because the technical hurdles are fairly trivial.

People did horrible acts because they did want to do those acts to those other people. They picked a theory to justify them.
Yeah so it could be handled like virtually every other site on the earth (ie, google, reddit) where you can check a box in your account to show/hide NSFW content. Easy peasy.
Consider appropriate hardware counters. (Note that multiplexing to measure more then three(?) at once can be misleading.) At least for serial code on x86, there's "top-down performance analysis". Some tools (I know Maqao) suggest how to address bottlenecks.
I wish Windows had as many good terminals as MacOS does.
So perhaps "frustrating" - but still the correct decision
In the olden days, we always checked the compiler, libraries, and essential build tools being used into version control along with the code. That way you could always be sure that you could compile the code.

This stopped working so well with Windows, where you usually can't just copy executables out of version control and run them (you have to run an installer instead), but it still works pretty well for the Unices.
Private property is a construct of the state, which is itself either just fenced goods stolen from the powerless or the commons.

It's a social norm we maintain, with some limitations, because it's useful. It's not sacred.
I can't say exactly what Wolfram may be thinking, but part of it may just be solving the discrepancies between general relativity and quantum physics.

It's assumed that that must be possible, simply because the universe manages to make it work somehow. But our mathematical models of those two theories aren't fully compatible. That's something that serious physicists definitely think about, although there probably aren't that many working on solving it directly.

The other thing that seems to interest Wolfram is finding fundamental causes - e.g. why gravity exists in the first place, etc. He seems to think that can be derived from his particular rules.

This is something that many physicists deliberately avoid, on the theory that physics is about modeling and predicting what exists, not about explaining why it exists.

It's not really as simple as that - e.g. the examples I gave earlier contradict that idea - but it's certainly the case that many physicists would consider Wolfram's goals to be unscientific in a sense, because it's not likely to be possible to get evidence for claims about why e.g. space or gravity exist. Of course, we can't properly assess that until we see such a claim, which hasn't yet been produced.

Finally, I think you're right that "one model" is never really going to apply. If you look at existing physics there are all sorts of different principles that apply at different scales and to different phenomena, and there are reasons for that. It's only really to address issues like the GR/QM discrepancy that some sort of better compatibility between models is needed.
I'm sorry if there was any implication of bias against Asians as a group. I don't think I implied that at all, when did I call them shadowy? That smells of your own biases and perceptions. I was simply referencing the region of those I'm aware of. My neighbors home is owned by an investor from the Philippines. Three other houses on my block are owned by investors from China and are rental houses. This information can be confirmed by a simple property tax search.
The metaverse can make a comeback in 2024: Author
> If I'm running a malicious application, I have much bigger worries than a an injected sudo. It has access to all my files!

If you practice sandbox hygiene on linux (eg. bubblewrap) the only files it will have access to are the ones absolutely necessary for its functioning such as a private /home/user per application. However if you use X11, all such measures will be useless.

You could of course run nested X11 (eg. Xephyr). But the inconvenience is of such magnitude why not use Wayland?
Advertisers want eyeballs. You're not trafficking child porn if an underage kid happens to see your ad alongside a stream of a naked woman. Give me a break.
Please finally read the issue you linked. This happens when you disable the plugin and immediately uninstall a plugin update. If you just disable the plugin it stays disabled.
Unless someone convinced someone that they should prepared in case they become BIG and get millions of concurrent users.

And even then, nothing is sure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Pokémon Go, thanks to an adaptation of game mechanics, literally exploded in users. Despite being world-scale, they struggled for a couple of weeks to meet the workload. World-scale naturally degrades to normal-scale if you don't stress it regularly.
What are the advantages of this compared to cheap writable optical disks (DVD, Blueray ...)?
An interesting thing about fungibility is that _something is fungible to the extent that one treats it as fungible_. Yes, dollar bills are generally fungible but I might pay more for one with a serial number with lots of zeroes — it’s good for liar’s poker. I might devalue a dollar bill that you just blew your nose on.

That aside, I’m still not convinced I know what you mean when you say time is not fungible. I think what you might mean is that time is precious and not to be wasted, but I’m not sure what this has to do with fungibility.

Regardless, I think I agree with your main point which is that most written works are low-content repetitive trash. Let’s stipulate that I’m only talking about buying and reading rich, innovative, and/or elucidating works of nonfiction. They all require a great deal of nuance, I assure you.
Eating is a hard habit to break.
I wonder why that is. Wouldn't it make sense for the whole society to support the woman in this special period so that she can stay with her newborn 4 or even maybe 5 months if she desires instead of forcing her to go back after 12 weeks? 12-week old baby is really small, they really need a mother.

Not to mention the fact that the current recommendation for breastfeeding is 6 months - good luck doing it at work.
I mean, I dunno, the Puritans were upset at tolerance. It’s not really puritanical if Amazon doesn’t want to run an internet brothel. Besides, any time you let new content on a social site you risk getting flooded and people leaving.
The three body problem is impossible to solve analytically. The state space is clearly all connected but in a way that cannot be short-cut. You have to walk it deterministically one state at a time. Once you reach some interesting state, you know that you will always reach it from your initial state. It is inevitable but in general impossible to predict. There is no simple story to tell as to why you'd end up there, you just do as a culmination of the state-path up to that state. We've reached a state where that Simpsons episode was created. It's very interesting and was impossible to predict from all the way back during the bing bang. Maybe it was inevitable?
Thank you. Fortunately the study itself looked a little beyond "improved"! This thread was objecting to the stupidity of the headline.
I’m not useless at labeling people, greedy, I’m usefully, labeling, greedy, and I agree, we are exploiting most of the world because of our greed. We should all come to face that, and not only our live will be better, but the whole world lives will be better. And it would probably stop climate change as well. This is a regular problem that we can change with first our behavior as living by an example. This is why I don’t feel so bad, being homeless and living with less.
How do you force house prices to drop when

1. THERE IS A LABOR SHORTAGE IN CONSTRUCTION

2. ZONING WILL NEVER BE REFORMED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL

3. EVERYONE ASSUMES THE PRICE OF HOUSING WILL CONTINUE TO GROW MORE THAN INFLATION

All 3 highlight a broken market due to inflated costs. The only solution is to slow the market down and play chicken with owners.

> pulling the ladder up and further securing the position of those who got there first

Such is life. You can't drastically change a market overnight. You'll get voted out of office.

Welcome to the late 70s. This is how it was then too. Be happy we don't have a Volcker
What's always been strange to me is that these kinds of streamers are not judged as harshly as real sex workers. On the status hierarchy, they seem to be close to the top.
Users get really bothered by arbitrary banning, irrationally so I think. I've been on sites with moderators who could basically just enforce the rules as they liked and it's so much better. No "well technically I'm not rule breaking" - a human makes a judgment and bans them.

For some reason these "professional" Websites (ie: the modern web of company-run forums) seem to resist this idea, and unfortunately it's hard to do it later in the game because the userbases can be very easily riled up.
Here's a chart of homeowner gains vs developer profits. It's a bit apples to oranges, but it gives you an idea of the scale of who benefits (at least on paper) from the housing crisis:

Ideally, I think, home prices would be fairly stable - neither appreciating a lot, nor dropping in value. Boring. That would also make them a 'bad' investment for corporations looking to make a buck by buying and holding.
