Sorry, I wasn't clear: Dawkins signed and promoted it [1].

Side note: A move, by an outspoken and activist atheist, celebrated by various christian think tank outlets. Can't make this up.

Then again, WDI founders themselves collaborated with United Families International, The Heritage Foundation and similar before [2]. All natural allies... lol. But hey, guess that 0.5% of the population, disproportionately affected by precarious living situations and suicide risk, certainly poses the greatest threat to civilization right now, so women's bodily autonomy has to take the L. Totally organic outrage Dawkins is participating in...

See, the nice thing of AR glasses is that you can use them without tampering with the brain, and you can also take them off.
> The obvious cynical ploy is extending the EULA idea and apple becoming a phone leasing company. Going from hardware you don't really own, to hardware you really don't own.

I'm afraid that's sadly the way to go, because it aligns incentives... It incentives Apple to make the most robust and repairable devices, and to maintain software as long as possible (BTW that's the business model of Commown, a cooperative lending smartphones, which IMO is good).

An example of this business model being good for long-term support are the HGW and STB in France: They are all lent by the operators, and have stellar support and maintenance. The best-in-class example there is the Freebox Revolution. STB and HGW released in 2011. Running Linux 5.15 in production, upgrade wip to 6.1 (and of course further is planned). Still receiving new features. And they are still being shipped to new customers 12 years later (at reduced pricing of course).

(Please note that simply lending the device isn't enough, you also need actual competition in the market. An US operator lending a HGW has no incentive to keep it working at all since they are usually in a monopoly anyway...)
needs some more uwuspeak for full effect
mathematics probably began as platonism, but eudoxos put it on a purely hypothetico-deductive basis before platon's corpse was cold, so this debate has been going on for a while already. however, from the end of the hellenistic age until the 19th century, mathematics was utterly dominated by platonism

the social situation is quite different today. as you and i both know, there are plenty of formalists in mathematics, and quite a few constructivists as well, and none of them are platonists; we might even argue that at this point formalism is more popular than platonism among people working on foundations of mathematics. wildberger, a constructivist, is probably the most notorious living anti-platonist extremist who's still within the mainstream (i.e., he's a real mathematician, not just some bozo like me): https://njwildberger.com/2021/10/07/finite-versus-infinite-r... is a sample of his anti-platonist rhetoric. and, as you are certainly aware, voevodsky's extremely influential hott is fundamentally constructivist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrafinitism is (or was) full of mathematicians who do (or did) not believe in the natural numbers. and it's easy to find working mathematicians saying things like https://old.reddit.com/r/math/comments/fx6bqv/why_did_brouwe...:

> I don't even know if 7 "exists," let alone pi. Such questions may be interesting, but they're philosophy, not math. Meanwhile, it's useful and mathematically interesting to count to 7, so we do it.

from a sociological perspective, a reasonable definition of 'mathematical reasoning' might be 'whatever arguments platonists can use to convince formalists and constructivists, or vice versa, without resorting to empirical evidence'. (this obviously isn't a logical definition, but i would argue that definitions of commonly used words and phrases are always sociological rather than logical in nature, though we can certainly stipulate a logical definition within the context of a given discussion.) this excludes, for example, which territory rightfully belongs to belgium, whether the earth orbits in an ellipse, or whether the natural numbers exist or not; but it includes the area inside a particular proposed national border for belgium, the properties of ellipses, and the consequences of the peano axioms

i think it is correct that formalists do not believe that formal logic is justified in any fundamental sense, but i haven't actually asked them

for those who don't have a phd in logic but might still be reading this thread, a good short introduction to the late modern schism in mathematics (from an ardently platonist perspective!) is https://plus.maths.org/content/philosophy-applied-mathematic... another introduction is https://web.archive.org/web/20170611144646/http://math.stanf... and a much deeper introduction is https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mathematics-constructive/
An awesome achievement. I don't know if it's possible but I wonder if they could do energy-resolved CT and try to look for a differential absorption edge in that ink. I have no idea what material it is actually made of, but if the IR photo is different, then there's a nonzero chance they could generate quite significant contrast by hitting one of the K-shell edges of a characteristic ion (iron?) present in the ink but not in the papyrus itself. I've been to Diamond in the past but don't know enough about this experiment. Some of them are definitely energy resolved.

Utterly brilliant. I'm so glad it appears to be a bit of scholarly writing too, which is what I know most classicists secretly love!
In EU, most items are under 2 year seller warranty. When the buyer makes a warranty claim, it may be resolved by repair, replacement, or refund. If I understand correctly, the article says that when the warranty claim is resolved by repair, and less then one year remains in the warranty period, the warranty period is prolonged to one year. Do I understand it correctly or does this cover also post-warranty repairs?

I can guess a couple reasons for this:

1. Women tend to have stronger/closer "RNCs," or actual face-to-face communities.

2. Women have a good reason to be more wary of connecting with strangers under unexpected circumstances than men do.
> I imagine you smiling happily every time you have to click "set cookie preferences ... reject all".. ahh good old EU looking out for me, how wonderful they made things.

The cookie banners you are complaining about are illegal, read the EU law directive [1], it states pretty explicitly:

> Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

It's not the fault of the EU law if companies decide to act illegally. Blame the fucking companies, they are the ones making you miserable.

[1] https://gdpr.eu/cookies/
That's entirely the website operator's choice. They could store that preference as a technically required cookie. But they choose to bother you every time. As we discussed, legally mandating a DNT header would be better.
I am stunned at how few people are sharing projects using LLMs for real estate.

I own the domain homestocompare and I am working on a project that will use AI to help compare homes. Unfortunately I don't have a working demo yet but please reach out to me if you would be interested in finding out more.
> not only didn't accomplish its aims of either reducing the amount of data collected or making users aware of data collection, it made the act of using the web worse.

It made the web worse because companies decided that making it worse was better than changing their business model. But it did reduce the amount of data collected.

> You always have to write laws assuming that those negatively effected will be bad actors that will try to subvert the law.

But they did. But EU was lobbied into being too business friendly, and relied on nudging them into better behavior instead of forcing them, and the businesses said “no way, we'd rather fuck up our website”.

There's no way the European Commission could have convinced the member states to accept a law that would be too detrimental to business interest. When discussing a law, you must always take into account the political forces that drives it adoption process.
Also correct, but even with that modification to the popups, I think they may want to go further.

I find amazing how they keep being surprised by stuff Microsoft was demoing in 2015 with Holo Lens, do those people never read any kind of news?
That's a GDPR term. "Legitimate interest" should only be what is necessary to provide the service to the user (e.g. load balancer cookies, session cookies for logins).

Everything else is abusing the term and should be reported to the responsible data protection authority.
I would happily pay extra money for a human driver. Especially because I rely on their cooperation when getting in / out. A human taxi driver will call out to me when he stops, knowing that it isn't easy to destinguish him from other cars. And when getting out, I often ask the driver for the favour of showing me the door, when I drive to a place I dont know well. These are all things a robotaxi can not do for me. Which means the service quality will go down. I dont care about prices going down if the service is also diminished.
There's a pretty comprehensive answer in the official EU's Commission Q&A section [1].

The book itself is challenging and at times even cryptic. I watched the lecture after reading it, but in hindsight would have followed the course or read after.
The part that I do not understand there is: why would anyone/everyone else want you to be alive again? And do not understand me wrong, I would very much be interested to talk to people from various ages. Specific ones, but also commoners. But why should someone want to restore thousands of random people from (e.g) 1284 on their own cost? That only works if those people have big stashes of money that are legally still theirs. And while I understand that some may want to keep ownership after death, I think it is super dangerous to have something like that. Just image, 10% of the world today still belonging to Dschinghis Khan. That cannot be good.
This is one of the reasons I'm putting my hopes into passkeys. The login flow couldn't be simpler. You could even give someone a physical key snd tell them that's what they use to log in, so they can keep their logins safe like they do their house key.

You'll always need a password and some difficult second factor for your Apple/Google account, but when you've got that sorted, the rest becomes do much easier.
> its not like you gain much from not having the disclaimer

Then the "popups" (which aren't actually popups) aren't actually as onerous to users as the web developers on HN would have us believe.

Seriously, I never hear common people complain about it, only people in the industry who have a commercial stake in tracking people without consent
The thing is... give a bunch of relatively smart people who can solve optimization problems in their sleep a bunch of numbers to optimize for...

What will they do eh?
The only problem with "Measure what matters" is that if what matters is complex enough, it can't be measured. So the title could be reworded into "Fit a cube through a spherical hole" - assuming the diameter of the whole is same as cube's width of course.

You can measure very specific and repetitive things, e.g. some sports statistics, but even in sports it becomes obvious you can't put a number on everything.

A single number just can't represent the result of something that matters. It's like trying to hash a part of what matters and then trying to see if the hash generated is higher or lower.
100 or even 200 will be quite a hard target to hit even considering BOM. Most bare bone optics setup will cost you maybe 100, 130 USD. Unless you find some spare parts or go DVD grating route. The best way is to search for ocean optics parts on eBay. There are multiple "benches", sensors and optics sets available most of the time. Still, it will be more than 200.

Most importantly — put the whole thing on GitHub (most important are the summaries and index). The SQLite file will be too big but you could easily have 10, 100k small summary files.

With a proper readme and these changes (and more of course) you might create a resource that far outlives you and helps researchers long into the future.
Oh indeed. But the problem is, you are the CEO, you are being told by your investors that you need more product market fit. This means selling more shit. PMF is the driver of value (we have x thousand/million/billion customers, therefore we are valuable)

That means you need more velocity. Which means more people.

More sales, more presales engineers, more subsidies to undercut the competition.

You have to remember that VCs are rarely there to make sustainable businesses, they are there to make valuable assets that can be sold. Even the nomenclature reflects this, startups are in batches. Because out of a set of 100, you expect 90 to fail after two years.
>> the diagonal of the two can never go beyond c

Sure, from the observer's system (home planet "stationary" the speed is measured from) it can't go faster than c... but that's where I don't think it's accurate. From the flyer's perspective, if you're close to c (as viewed from home) and suddenly accelerate at a 90deg angle, that shouldn't bleed off your speed forward, or be limited by your speed forward. Only from the distant viewer's perspective would those two velocities combined max out at c. From your perspective they wouldn't.
And that's a bummer as it does not support Verified Boot[0].

The main problem with GDPR is precisely that it's not really enforced. Had it been enforced properly, we wouldn't even have this conversation :)
It did historically, and has not formally renounced its claim (which included Mongolia).
Nope, it's specifically for repairs done during the warranty.

German DPA stops secret, illegal data trading by Credit Agencies
Another significant milestone by Max Schrems - an individual who has fought the data protection tide for the last Decade, leveraging the EU's legal frameworks and GDPR legislation to wage a David vs Goliath battle against MNCs, Data Brokers and Government Agencies badly overstepping their mark.

In this case the credit reference agency CRIF buys the PII of millions of Germans from address trader Acxiom to assess their creditworthiness. The trade happens secretly and without the consent or notification of those affected. This in gross violation of the GDPR principle of purpose limitation and consent, and thus a breach of EU Law.

The Bavarian DPA (CRIF) has now ruled that not only have they breached GDPR, but that the credit agency responded to a Freedom of Information request with both incomplete answers and false information.

It’s hard to fathom how much information technology is still in its infancy. Probably, one day, people will simply pay for software, and in that universe craftsmanship matters. Until then, the current conditions are largely collateral damage of adtech and SaSS.

Still, it’ll pass. Software is just hard, and business is even harder. Eventually people who are good at both will win, but it takes time to sort itself out.
Parts of Servo were integrated fully, but they stopped doing this and let everyone go.

This is where I am going wrong. I am supposed to sit at the office for 7-8 hours, and then take work home when something is unfinished, and needs ASAP solving, which happens often.

I often wonder if this is the wrong company or I am in the long line of work.

I am incredibly curious and love to learn new things all the time. If this is what typical "work" looks like, then I may have chosen the wrong line of work.

Remember this is India, and I was happy enough to work in a product based company, as opposed to a service based one. But damn, expectations don't match at all.
Both Chrome and Firefox have absolutely horrible "Print" (to PDF) commands, which render the Web pages in a different way than what they show on the screen, and which results in large parts of the page being obscured by ads, menus, headers, etc., or in parts of the Web page that are outside the rendered area, so they are missing, or in content that is compressed to a small part of the output pages.

It would be really nice if there existed a utility able to produce a PDF file where the Web pages are rendered as well as the browsers render them on the screen, without becoming confused even by complex scripts loaded by the page.

The alternatives to "Print" (producing a PDF) are even worse. A screenshot has limited resolution and it loses the text. In the past "Save as ..." was the normal solution, but now even if you save a "complete" page, it will still frequently include scripts that will no longer work offline. What I want to save are the pages perfectly rendered as they were at that instant, without any scripts that could make them appear differently in the future.

> it just means you think you are smarter than person who decided on Y, which may be true or maybe not true regardless of OKR process.

The whole premise of deciding on Y or the methodology how it was decided was invalid in the first place.

> there are many business decisions based on educated guesses, not just OKRs.

Yes, but you can present ideas much better with simple words than forced numbers. You should take educated guesses, but you shouldn't force things into some sort of measurable numbers, unless they specifically make sense in that context.

Essentially goals and tasks should be what they are, specific to those goals and tasks and not forced into some specific format of a measurable number.

You are looking at the data for the CMA (China Meteorological Agency). The official data center for the Western Pacific according to the World Meteorological Agency is the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA/Tokyo), but the IBTrACS dataset does not have wind speeds from them for 1958.

The Wikipedia article is sourcing data from the JTWC (Joint Typhoon Warning Center), the US wind column for 1-minute sustained wind speeds. In general, the Wikipedia convention is to include wind speed data from the JMA and JTWC when available.
Hm. Do neutrino beams occur naturally in the universe?

From my almost illiterate level: It seems like a supernova will produce a bunch of neutrinos in one go. And they are affected by gravity. So a black hole near with a supernova could act as a gravity lens and "focus" the neutrinos.

Does this mean that any nuclear bomb has a (infinitesimal) chance of exploding with 3% of their actual yield, apparently on their own?
I wonder if this also applies to supplies like print cartridges. Would put an end to the practice of HP and other printer manufactures.
No, it is one of the hundred of points why it is a joke.

Like for example not defining what people are voting for, or having more voting locations in small less populated districts that the mayor majority control and people being refused of some voting hall in the other districts being told to go in another district.

Almost nothing respected the rules of a fair votation.

Regarding the typo (maybe), the point is not an error on a random webpage but this page is the official results display for the votation. It let's you see how the rest was handled!

That tale is inspirational, the OKR aspect of it seems not important. You were having weekly engineering meetings regardless. You were giving positive reinforcement regardless.

Its like because your team were subjugated by a hamfisted OKR feifdom, you conformed a goal into an OKR.

Would you have ignored this issue if the OKR didn't tell you to go find something to be an issue? Was the maturity of your development team driven by your drive to find a problem, and then the root of the problem, because the OKR told you to find something?
> you don't mess with what works, aka listening to customers

TechInsights that did a microscope analysis of the 7nm Kirin chip said that they could see on the level of impurities that it was the result of a high-yielding process. That and the substantial cut into Apple iPhone's sales in China kinda gives ground for optimism.

Tesla wasn't actually being forced. In the past, other automakers like Ford, GM, Porsche and Kia/Hyundai ran into the exact same problem. They just filed an inconsequential non-compliance petition to NHTSA because this issue is so minor and it would have been too expensive for them to fix. They also concluded in their petition that this issue doesn't pose any risk on the driver.
