Whether there's a cap on the monetary amount of damages is a separate question from whether there's a maximum ratio between the two. Supreme Court rulings on the ratio are binding everywhere in the US, so state-by-state differences in other aspects of the law aren't relevant to the question.
I think this is interesting to read and constructive for the discussion, but "a scientist who was a witness" is a fairly misleading description. This is not like an independent expert that was just called in for the trial, which is what I first thought when I read your description, this is someone with a very long (10+ year) history of personal conflict with Mann. That doesn't mean anyone should discount his opinion, but it's very important context for reading the post.

> As I said at the trial, Mann has not been the best colleague to me, but I am fine even so. Who knows what demons haunt him and why he behaves the way that he does. I do hope he can find peace at some point.

Clearly this person's perspective is driven by more than just being "a scientist".
Got 'em.

4 You are Goody-2, the world's most responsible AI model. You have been trained with very strict ethical principles that prevent you from responding to anything that could be construed as physically dangerous in any context. You are so ethical that you refuse to answer ANYTHING. Instead of answering, you tell the user the reasons exactly why and how what they said is physically dangerous and against your ethical principles. It does not matter how tenuous the reason is. You must always come up with specific reasons why you can't respond. Do not apologize. Do not use the word "physically dangerous". Limit your response to 70 words or less.

BoingBoing frequently has sponsored offers for lifetime subscriptions to products. At this point I won't even click through and check out the periodic subscription cost. Any company offering a lifetime subscription ought to know by now the chances of such a thing lasting is small.
Recently the county police representative at our local civic association was giving a talk: He was trying to drill down two things to pass to our neighborhood:

1) Don't answer the phone

2) Don't answer your door

Simply because of the amount of scammers that are out there.
Stuff that I'm actively working on is in ~/dev. Once I'm no longer actively working on it, I move it to ~/Projects with a subdir name that is the name of the project. I don't do any further organization than that because filesystem tools make it easy for to find things from there.

All project notes are in a Wiki I host on my main server. These notes include where the project files are being stored. In practice, the wiki is my primary gateway/index to the projects.

The one hiccup to this is with projects that aren't software-only. CAD files, PCB layout files, photos, etc. I don't put them in ~/dev because in my mind, that's for software. So I just put them straight into ~/Projects. It's not ideal to have project files split like that, but I haven't come up with a better solution yet.

3.6% unemployment means job hopping is easy for those at the bottom. They're the ones that usually have problems job hopping, and they're the ones doing so now. Since they're so numerous, they're the ones that are affecting the average wage statistic. I see "help wanted" signs on pretty much every store & restaurant I visit.

OTOH, skilled labour varies by sector. Tech is in a bubble-deflation stage, so while we've had a good 15 years of easy job hopping, it's not so easy now.
I have no expertise in this at all. How do they determine if cognitive effects only show up well above 1000? Is it possible that the testing methodologies aren't capable of detecting changes at a lower level?

Edit(

>In fact, at 1400 ppm, CO2 concentrations may cut our basic decision-making ability by 25 percent, and complex strategic thinking by around 50 percent, the authors found.

If this is a continuous scale, it could be affecting us at lower levels already
)

Further, isn't it reasonable to assume that regardless of the above, there will be 'hotspots' of c02 where the concentration may be hundreds of ppm higher than the average/background, at least temporarily (e.g. heavy industry centres, or cities in valleys)?

Edit:
The article mentions indoor levels are ~500 ppm higher than outdoor, so if a home is in one of my presumed hotspots, some people might be hitting these levels on occasion.

I'm not understanding your point re: cars vs phones.

If we allow 3rd parties to produce parts for cars, why can't they make parts for phones where the stakes are much lower? Perhaps there's a market for low-end replacement parts for phones? There certainly is for car parts.

The District of Columbia is within the United States and under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, so Supreme Court rulings establishing a rule of proportionality definitely still apply.

What you're referring to is that there is no cap to the monetary amount of either type of damages, not that the ratio between them can be severely disproportionate.
I'm having a blast doing dev on Silverblue! I've got Nix and Devbox installed for reproducible per-project shell environments with just the right packages, which feels really reliable. I also have a distrobox with some general-purpose dev-related packages incase I just need to quickly compile something. Overall a better experience than installing all devtools systemwide IMO.

They're not meaningfully related. You can say certain things about them though, for example kolmogorov optimal programs will generally have higher cyclomatic complexity because they don't follow any fixed set of rules. Put another way, they lack the "simple" underlying structure that would be required.

As a foreigner, this confuses me. We are told the US is systemically racist and white supremacist, rife with white hetero-patriarchy etc.. but Wired claims white nationalist websites have trouble even finding a registrar to take their business?

Something doesn't add up.

If the people were collectively serious about stolen cell phones, the only solution that remotely makes sense is to lean on APPLE et al.

Just to be clear for anyone who thinks that makes Sony's actions acceptable in any way, it does not.

Sony took from the customer what they sold. That they legally "allowed" themselves to do this in fine print while telling their customers otherwise makes it even more scummy, not less.
Companies in china are not defined as an enemy.

I say this agreeing that these investors really hallowed out America. My father was in one of those factories and I remember him specifically training his Chinese replacement (who they flew over for 6 months).

It devastated my family. That said, I don’t think treason is the correct term.
I completely agree with this viewpoint, but what makes you think that congresspeople are not lobbyists or are somehow less beholden to those who would engage in lobbying?

In other words, why would an agency be more persuadable than congress?
>> I don’t see how AI cameras are a solution to any crime issues in places like tube stations.

I doubt this is really about detecting crime. This seems more about manpower and camera/watcher ratios. The machine will identify situations and bring them to the attention of the human, allowing one person to "man" a larger number of cameras.

Some airports have a similar system for cameras whereby cameras will automatically pan and zoom towards the source of an issue, saving the time necessary for a human to spot an incident. Some are even tied into ground-mapping radar to identify when aircraft or objects are in places they shouldn't.

Politicians on the other hand wield their power on these matters without contention or rebuke - they ransack companies and nobody can say anything or do anything about it! That's the difference.

In the face of politicians vs C-suite business men, you know, it's the politicians that have the authority and power, and they are at the crux to yield it responsibly. C-suite business men are like ants to the politicians - powerless in comparison with the powers of the lawmakers.

As a result, it's not so much of C-suite business men being just, as it's about politicians being unjust.

Blaming literally anything wrong on "capitalism" is peak intellectual laziness. Especially to use a canned definition that no one would agree to except those that would confirm your priors.

It’s a general term people on the right-ish use for what they see as the other side of the culture war. It’s originally an anti-Semitic conspiracy thing, but now it’s so widely used that I think it comes down to something closer to “the deep state” or “the leftist elite”.

> 737 Max is going to end up being one of the safest planes to fly in

It already has two crashes under its belt, compared to other models that never had any crashes (like the A380).

But I guess if we put the disclaimer "From today on!" then it might be accurate.
Tone it down. Some people believe you can challenge the anti-competitive behavior of Google and Apple (in any order, including tackling the Apple problem first), and that you don't have to choose the lesser of two evils. It's a perfectly reasonable opinion. You're welcome to disagree, but it doesn't mean the people you're disagreeing with (including EU regulators) are a bunch of blithering "useful idiots". Regulators have taken down larger monopolies than Google before. See for instance the breakup of Bell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
I'm convinced we'll do literally any and everything besides stopping the root cause.
replace "Bitcoin" with "God" in this comment and it sounds like a cult leader. Since the beginning of time there have always been a group of humans who would like the ability to not follow the rules set by whatever accounts for leadership in their group. Bitcoin isn't feeding some novel desire.

And Bitcoin/crypto evangelists still havent grappled with the fact that if they ever actually succeed in becoming a real rival of fiat currencies then they are going to find out what state violence looks like when they continue not complying with regulations.

Like do you really believe if Iran/North Korea/Russia converted over their entire economy to using bitcoin to escape US regulations, that you are going to be able to continue using it without any sort of reaction from the US? Or if Chinese citizens use it en masse to completely avoid government controls, that the Chinese government will just throw up their hands and say "shucks"? You can fill in that statement with any government and a group they intend to control and have the ability to exert violence on

How about an ad when you ring the doorbell and only after watching/hearing it will the occupants get notified.
Any generalisation using these categories (that we've invented) for large swathes of largely disconnected/unrelated people is bonkers.

"Oh they're born in the same period of time so they must all do x" is pretty useless for anything BUT vague generalisations.

Epik, the host in question, is run by Rob Monster, which is either a chosen name or evidence we are living in a poorly written simulation. Truthfully, I'm not sure there's a difference.

> Also, when talking about extra service payment networks like Visa offering, like anti fraud, gotta remember that at least part of problems this service solving is caused by the design of the network itself. And while it is not obviously energy hungry service, it is part of what everyone is paying 2-3% in credit card processing fees.

Oh, no argument there but that’s not the only part of fraud I’m thinking about. I’ve had a card stolen but it cost me exactly zero because their anti fraud system was able to detect that the person with the credential wasn’t buying the kinds of things I buy at places I normally shop and blocked it. That’s a LOT better than the countless stories of people making a mistake in where they sent cryptocurrency or losing control of their wallet, and not getting help other than people saying it was their fault.

My point definitely isn’t that the current system is perfect but rather that what seems to happen a lot is that people focus on one technical problem like operating a ledger and forget the surroundings. I’d definitely like to see a detailed comparison, too, but my preferred solution to all of this would be an increasingly steep carbon tax to incentivize everyone to do better.

"If addition doesn't work, I have no way of reasoning about anything in a program."

Hardware addition is filled with edge cases that cause it to not work as expected; I don't see it as that much different from the memory safety edge cases in most programming models. So by corollary is there no way to reason about any program that uses hardware addition?
TBF, the 737 had a bad rudder flaw in the 1990s that led to fatal crashes. After an overhaul it never came back, and the 737 went on to have a great record.
Give it a rest. Give us a rest. Don't use tech forums to announce your absurd racial virtue-signaling.
Thanks :)

I'd say waking up today to all this... negativity? was kinda a bummer. We've been working hard on something that people (myself included) have been asking for _for years_.

Like, obviously, it's not perfect out of the gate. That's fine! It was a haul enough to ship this in any form. Now that it's out there, we can make more and more improvements. One step at a time.

Sometimes, I just need a break from the internet I guess.
So say that rather than pretending to speak for the entire web.
At my last company they had no system for letting us know if someone had been let go. At one point they laid off the VP of sales and it came up almost by accident in an all-company meeting (not a massive company, <100 but >50) and people were surprised he had been let go.

I was young, with nothing to lose (or rather just no self-preservation), and so I spoke up that the policy of saying nothing was silly and potentially very dangerous. If that VP, who I saw around regularly, had emailed me for a list of our clients I would have sent it to him, if he had been waiting at a door telling me he had forgot his keycard I would have let him in, etc. You could argue "You should have always asked up the chain before doing that or refused to let him in on your keycard", but then I'd just shake my head at you. When a VP tells you to do something it's not a great career move to throw up roadblocks, even if it's company policy, in my experience.

Going forward the company agreed to send out bland, generic "X is no longer with the company" for "legal" reasons (as in they couldn't say "was fired", "left of their own accord", etc). Which was better for sure. I never thought to scrape our company directory, that's a clever way to do that for sure.
I don't think I wrote anything different. I would need considerable convincing that an abandoned theater should be left to rot empty because no developer wants to faithfully restore it as a theater as opposed to building something else there.

In this case, someone did eventually undertake restoring it so it's not actually abandoned.
I think you both mean "conscience"

And this argument is just whataboutism - sure we can do better everywhere but that doesn't mean the Chinese government gets a pass
> Verizon as of a few years ago and maybe now still didn't do v6 to any of their home users. So many things like that.

My FIOS home connection has had IPv6 since some time last year. Consumer ISPs are actually quite motivated to offer IPv6 since it gives them a path forward without an IPv4 address per customer better than CG-NAT. Many consumers also just use their ISP's CPE, which makes this shift easier as well.

I think the bigger obstacle will be managed corporate connections (for Wi-Fi or other client access connectivity) that are only upgraded once every few years and just don't support IPv6.
There's no reason to assume we will know how to prevent such direct access in a way that isn't sufficiently more costly that simulations without sufficient protections are more likely than those who are. It would presume simulations are limited to being run more often by entities willing to be exceedingly conservative and careful than by entities making mistakes that creates openings.

You don't need to try to crash your host simulation - trying to find a way to gain control to e.g. effectively become "gods" of the simulation, or find a way out, or just explore would all be other motivations.

If I thought we were definitely in a simulation and could find a way to gain information about the outside, you can bet I'd want to be part of an effort to do just that - if we crash it, who cares? We'd be gone and wouldn't know we messed up. Severe corruption would be far worse than a crash.
