This is why for my Python programs, while I swallow exceptions when possible and turn them into user-friendly error messages that are likely to be the cause, I also add a -d,—-debug flag that ignores that and spits out everything. Because when you need to know, you need to know.
Is there even a path to civilization without massive environmental impact? It’s not like “we” are collectively deciding what actions to take. Civilization is the result of the actions of billions of individuals over generations working towards their own goals in the face of adversity.
Your mundane explanation misses the main point that perfect security can't exist while maintainint function. It is not just a matter of cost cutting, it is a (sort of) fundamental law that security and usability are opposite ends of a spectrum, at the limit any gains in security can only be achieved by a loss of usability. So any system that is perfectly secure will be perfectly unusable, or in the business angle, any system with 0% fraud will have 0% sales.

Ubuntu's first release, IIRC
I just wanted to see it moving but the video doesn't ever deliver on that.
It's even more concentrated in Vietnam. A very large chunk of the country is called Nguyen. Korea has similar with Kim/Park/Lee.
I've being using Linux for almost a year and have had a similar experience.

From what I've read, Ubuntu was easier to install in the past but today (at least with Debian 12 Bookworm) Debian is just as easy to install and use imo. I've actually had less problems with Debian compared to when I was using Ubuntu.
For the record I read your statements in the same way they do. I might not use "grandiose" but I see what they mean.
It's important to understand that when they said "bits" they didn't mean information in the Shannon entropy sense, but rather in the log-odds evidence sense.

Gaining a Shannon entropy bit means learning the answer to a yes-no question that had 1:1 odds.

Gaining a log-odds evidence bit means doubling your best-guess odds on a question you are uncertain about, from X:Y to (2X):Y.

One Shannon bit is worth arbitrarily many evidence bits, because a Shannon bit takes you from 1:1 odds to UNBOUNDEDLYHUGE:1 odds. So... yeah, actually, reading your username is worth infinite bits of log-odds evidence on what your username is! (Ignoring practical issues like the small chance of computer malfunctions, of course.)

And to answer your initial question: the 20 just came from the assertion they'd bet 20:1. That was arbitrary.
Creator here. Yes it's a wrapper around the Web Worker and Node Worker Threads API. In order to create an inline worker, the user provided function is serialized using .toString() and any provided yield statements (which specify outside variables, functions & imports) are extracted. Because JavaScript objects are passed by reference, we can get the references by running the user function on the main thread first (iterating over each yield statement), and stop on the last yield so the main thread doesn't execute the rest of the function. Then, whenever a thread mutates a shared variable, the new value is send or transfered to the main thread, which then updates the variable using the object's reference.
You know, all this gauge research is validated by plane cockpit design research for optimized and low (mental) overhead situational awareness, and your brain is inherently faster at these tasks, getting all the information you need without you noticing.

But, you can opt to use numbers and tax yourself for the sake of accuracy and precision, if that's your cup of tea, of course.
But that's not quite your direct problems. Like, when you live in Tel Aviv and earn a wage for your full-time job, you do not care about those casualties a couple miles from you.

Except you can argue that Tel Aviv is also bound to be heavily affected by Climate Change and rising seas, whereas with Moscow it's questionable due to all the landmass.
The requirement [0] is “Must reject entry to anyone using a fake or duplicate ID.” I gather that the bars have determined that the easiest way to detect duplicate IDs is to outsource to these services that capture IDs and can be queried at time of entry. I have no idea how long they keep them, but it seems safe to assume they would value the data forever.

On the contrary, I think "value of life" is an important phrasing - especially given that it is extremely uneasy for anyone except some die-hard libertarians.

Otherwise, we live with a dissonance - on the one hand, we consider life priceless; on the other, we often spend a very limited amount of money to save it. We switch back and forth between these two modes of thinking, making it unable to form a rational policy.
agreed, but it doesnt, and so one acts accordingly :)
Back when I switched to Ubuntu 8.04, fifteen years ago, they had the best set of included drivers and non-free (MP3) software.

I switched back to Debian (12/bookworm) a few months ago because of Ubuntu's snap packages. I've not noticed any downside yet.
Yeah, no. Read the article. There’s an example with a coin flip, which only has two possible values, and therefore a much, much higher possibility than a dice.

Criticizing a government is not criticizing a company. Imagine getting fired from an American company for criticizing the American government. That would be absurd.

Hi, this is completely normal. Debian has a very lengthy process for accepting packages. Other places you just submit a PR. It's normal for open source projects to only get into Debian after a few years when they can genuinely say they are established/popular/stable.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 through its entirety on the Steam Deck. The text is not "unreadable". It's not even the smallest font I've seen on the Steam Deck. You might want to visit your eye doctor. Framerate could have been better but it was a more solid experience than Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas on PS3 which were playable too. Or really countless other games of that era. Verified doesn't mean perfect. It just means it's not a PITA to use, all content works and runs well enough.
Man I looked at the front page of that website. I wouldn't be surprised if the plan was to eventually start a death cult, I can't explain why the hell a site like that would exist and why people would read it otherwise. What's the point, seriously?
Moscow is the biggest city in Europe (not counting Istanbul) - if a civil war or another issue stops the regular delivery of food and fuel bad bad things can happen.

Living in a russian village and growing your own food is a lot more sustainable in case of total collapse, e.g. caused by climate change.
This is a good talk showing that.

I have been traveling internationally continuously for 6 years and haven’t had any of these issues. I use Schwab, Capital One, and Chase for banks and credit cards. I don’t stay any one place longer than 6 months; usually just 3months in a country.

When my bank card expired Schwab even overnighted a new card to Peru for me. I order from Amazon a fair amount and don’t have any issues.

Maybe you are in this weird algorithmic grey zone where you don’t travel enough so everything gets flagged. Where for me I have been traveling for so long that nothing gets flagged.
Humanity is hundreds of thousands of years old, changing over time to reach it's current state. How many ups and downs have there been for us to arrive here? This just seems like extremist negativity to me. Is there nothing positive in the world to look at?

If there are such problems in the world, then resolve them. Don't just die.
With this mindset showing up more and more often (most of the time not as honestly/explicitly as outlined in TFA, but I'd argue that certain lifestyles are also indicators that the people living them have made their peace with it in their heart of hearts), I'm reminded of Liu Cixin's description of "defeatism" in his Three-Body trilogy.

Unless either extreme position (i.e. between "we've already lost and can't do a thing about it" on one end, and "climate change does not matter at all/can easily be solved with today's or tomorrow's technologies without any drastic impact to anyone/will fix itself/was a hoax..." on the other one) ends up being absolutely true in retrospect (which I consider quite unlikely), this might well be a game-theoretical problem:

If everybody ends up a defeatist, we really might end up losing primarily for that reason (due to most people, including decisionmakers, not even bothering doing forward-looking research, not conserving resources we have, accelerating resource depletion for the sake of "living life to its fullest" etc. as a result of that ideology), and vice versa.

In the book, one proposed solution of humanity to that meta-problem is a mind-altering machine that can instill an absolute belief in any chosen fact in everybody undergoing the procedure...

I seriously hope we won't ever look to any such dystopian measures, but I think the more important metaphor here is that defeatism, even if intellectually more honest and "true" (as far as that's an appropriate label for ideologies) in some contexts than an irrational believe that we can still succeed, can indeed become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Where I live having the app for 2FA is mandatory for online banking unless you can convince them to give you a hardware TAN generator. So transferring money is actually much less convenient in the browser because everything I do has to be confirmed with my pin in the app, so I might as well just do it in the app directly and only login on one device instead of two.

Of course this is actually "phone factor authentication" and not two-factor authentication, but I kinda need a bank account.

You canot say that Iran is older than most civilizations on Earth. Is like saying Italy is older than most of other civilizations.

but when the biggest western superpower, the only one to USE nukes, and on civilians at that talks, it has the moral high ground. It also does not topple regimes, asassinates its own citizens and others with drones, and just recently bombed an innocent families car while surprise pulling out of a country it had laid seige to. Yeah, moral high ground.
Ubuntu uses more up-to-date packages than Debian and has more frequent releases. Canonical provides a whole host of various services, so it depends on what you want from a Linux distribution. If you value stability over new features, then Debian is a better choice.
To be fair, a former PM lends a bit more credibility to an event than some random backbencher, and so you can expect that the market value of having a PM speaking at your event would be quite high.

Regardless, on those examples you gave, I don't think it was a Portuguese TV channel, I think it was a global CNN summit which happened in Lisbon (but please correct me if I'm wrong).

Also, The Hindustan Times (which is the Indian newspaper I think you're referring to) is also not exactly a small media outlet with a circulation more than double that of the Times of London (based on the most recent numbers for The Times in 2020).

Additionally, a significant number of British citizens have family ties with India, and are likely to continue to follow English language news in India, so it's not simply 'some foreign newspaper'.

I don't think you can even make a moral argument in favour of zero fraud, because that implies choosing to harm genuine users. There's always a trade-off between fraud prevention and genuine use. This is extremely important in social benefit systems, where people can literally die if the system incorrectly thinks they are trying to defraud it and cuts them off.

Non-zero fraud is useful for political point-scoring, but zero fraud is a terrible goal on its own. You also need to be measuring false positive cost, and drive that to zero too. The moral argument has to be for the efficiency frontier itself, I can't see any other way this works.

It's a Western-centric narrative. The most polluting, densely-populated and industrialising countries like China and India contribute far more to the problem, and you don't find much moral scrutiny there.

A shallow person in the West somehow thinks that they can reduce their carbon footprint by consuming "environmentally-friendly" products coming from these countries, externalising their pollution there.
I believe especially for the sheets part, there is long way to go. There are strong players like Airtable, Retable, Baserow etc - all having a good base, and it will be hard to catch up (and there are 17 more apps to do the same). But all in all, I am impressed - good luck with your journey!
They built up their user base many years ago by providing some level of resources and coordination of desktop usability built on top of Debian's unstable release. Thus becoming something of the default target for application developers who wanted to support Linux. Debian never had the polish that Ubuntu did with its catchy animal based nicknames and 6 month release cycle. They built everything on top of the Debian community and just provided a little bit more testing and marketing. Ubuntu released it's first release almost 20 years ago with Warty Warthog. I switched to Ubuntu around that time as my primary machine although I switched to POP! os by System76 which is a desktop distribution built on top of Ubuntu that focuses on the desktop when System76 engineers decided Ubuntu was straying from supporting desktop Linux.
In many ways it’s the best world to bring kids into, ever. As a middle class American I live better than an Egyptian pharaoh.

Except that a cloud of uncertainty hangs over it.

But a cloud of uncertainty is not worse than, say, constant starvation and plagues or eternal tribal wars. Would you bring a child into the world of the black plague? The Bronze Age collapse?

There has never been and will never be a utopia, especially one that can project into the future without fear. Having children means both blessing and cursing them with existence in a universe that apparently is not safety tested.
I think the SVR probably did it, but you'd be remiss to ignore the facts that he had a documented interest in bondage and self bondage, had previously had to get help from his landlord after tying himself to a bed, and that a key to the padlock was found inside the bag with him. It was a weird case.

Most (all?) electric cars can easily and comfortably do 100+ mph no problem. It's just that range really drops off after ~60-70 mph so most people don't bother if they want to avoid stopping to charge several times on a longer trip.

If you want to drive really far, really fast, then EVs are not for you. At 100+ mph you're stopping to recharge at least every 1.5-2 hours.

What's missing is the fact that the public opinion regarding climate change is evolving really fast as well. In my country, not even a few years ago, people who didn't eat meat or didn't take the plane because of ecological reasons were really rare and seen as extremists. Today, it's more and more widespread and socially accepted.

Stepping out of fossil fuels means a great deal of industrial and civilizational change, which takes a lot of time. But things do change.

In these days, what we need is for people to take action (from voting and raising their voices in the media, to working on how to live in a sustainable way as a civilization), and promote a positive message that others will follow. Depression-inducing articles like this one risks to prevent people from believing in a decent future, and thus persuade them to stop caring and acting for a better world.
Two things: Israeli or not, Wix still has to adhere to local labour laws. And support for Israel is less than early on, I've seen an article by WaPo the other day calling the plan some Israeli ministers have for Gaza ethnic cleansing (an apt description).

This has been problematic forever long even before any LLMs. Techniques like photobashing that use copyrighted images modify them for it to be new work. Or even older cases like work of Andy Warhol.

Where this is more extreme here is that there is no human labor involved there is no invention. On the other hand LLMs make this extra tricky because in one way output they create is objectively unique but subjectively/culturally it's not.

To answer your question if you take AI generated image and change it enough for it to stand as it's own unique thing you could for sure claim it as your work and it would be eligible for copyright.
