I have a question, a Burmese friend of mine in college some years back refused to accept the renaming to "Myanmar" since that was apparently done forcefully by the military junta who took control. I think he had just moved to the US right before the 2007-2008 Saffron Revolution (not sure if that's even how people refer to it locally). Because of my conversations with him, it always seemed awkward for me to use the name "Myanmar". I'm sure it's a sensitive topic, but I'm mostly curious how prevalent that is (still calling the country "Burma"), or if even most of the people who oppose the junta have started calling it Myanmar as well.
Nope, that's the point. Protests aren't intended to gain allies. It's to put pressure on those in charge. Pissing people off and interrupting commerce is literally the point.
What makes you think someone else wouldn’t have picked up the pieces? Whether that be dish/comcast/google, or just some private equity.

Being acquired by a competitor wasn’t their only exit option, and pretty much anything else would’ve resulted in more competition.
I’ve deactivated Facebook for about 15 years. Hopefully my belief in fake news is correspondingly low.

It’s tough though; for all the bullshit that comes at you through these social networks, there is a lot of genuine personal connection too.

Having shunned most social networking for double digit years I do feel “cleaner” for not having to wade through all the crap, probably comparatively less anxious about the world in general, but also undoubtedly more isolated too.

No easy answer…
I thought the writeup was convincing and addresses the heart of the paradox. The only nitpick: you can have uniform probability distributions on infinite sets, like [0,1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_uniform_distributio... There p(x) = 0 for any x, but for fixed e, p(x +/- e) is the same for all x.

But you can't have such a distribution on an unbounded set, which is where the paradox fails. If we had a uniform distribution on an unbounded set, p(x +/- e) has to be the same for all x and therefore nonzero, but

p(1 +/- e) + p(2 +/-e) + ...

has to sum to <= 1. It is an infinite sum of nonzero terms so this is a contradiction. (The same argument works if you drop the epsilon for thinking of a distribution on the integers).

I think your writeup was basically clear on this in terms of the math, just some of the language was a bit confused.
Hong Kong never sustained more than 3.5% of the population for several days. It seems the police response was able to force the number of people participating back below that threshold whenever it surged.
I'm more of a music person partly because my severe hearing loss makes me strain to focus on lyrics, akin to searching for Waldo on a busy page. Even though I've grown to appreciate and learn the lyrics of songs I enjoy, such as "Master of Puppets" or "Bulls on Parade," rap is challenging for me to follow given its lyrics-first nature and my personal firmware limitations. That said, I enjoy creators on Instagram who point out rap's lyrical and musical creativity.
I love the abstract idea of the command-line, but not it's textual implementation. The best currently available old school shell is Nushell IMHO.

What I really want is a GUI that works like a command-line, but with rich media and mouse support. Instead of 100% key input I would sometimes like to click and add/remove/filter data.

The terminal is so useful, still it's strange we tolerate up to this day all it's shortcomings.
Flask + Svelte is very accessible. When my Middle School students wanted to "build an app" I would roll up a boilerplate with Flask, Svelte, and SQLite on Replit (would not recommend anymore - Replit has jumped the shark) and they were able to become very productive very quickly.

EDIT: this was after 1-2 months of intro Python and JavaScript, so they weren't going in blind but also didn't have to learn, say, React. If you know some Python, you can use Flask. If you know some JS, you can use Svelte.
If shimano stopped making rim brakes, no tour de France athlete would use shimano groupsets. Rim brakes are lighter, that is why.

Would shimano ever give that up? No. All these companies pride themselves for being what the elites run. Dura ace would become a joke if no elites used it. The dura ace groupo upgrade is thousands of dollars (2k to be exact, it's the most expensive 100g you can pay for), & dura ace is high profi. So mo, too much brand risk. I mean, why haven't they stopped selling rim brakes already? It makes zero sense for shimano to do that.

Further, there are plenty of bike tire manufacturers making a variety of rim sizes. Some bikes can only do 25s max, makes no sense to only have a 28mm rim.

What's more, there's millions, probably hundreds of millions of older bikes that all need new rims every few years. For what you're saying to be accurate, no company would seize that demand and instead some sort of duopoly would instead opt for forced obsolescence. I don't see that as being the case (it is for thing like iPhones/cell phones, but the bike industry is very different)
Google I/O shows why the search giant is sitting pretty against OpenAI
It is still unclear to me how we expect these platforms to filter "misinformation" given that 1) It's not in Meta's interest 2) who gets to decide what is and is not fake news ie "who watches the watchman"? and 3) the human base desire to gorge on junk, of one form or another.
-nik is a suffix which exists in all Slavic languages, including Ukrainian. Nothing specifically Russian about it.
Why is it absurd? Because protests are popular (populus) means of compelling someone, like the authorities. So playing by the rules of the authorities is absurd. Of course the authorities have the incentive to make the protests as neutered as possible.
I would love if there was a Nielsen-rating equivalent for fake news outlets.

Having worked in AdTech and Pulisher Analytics for about a decade, I know that orgs are measuring fake news viewability and content type + quality, so it'd just be nice to see a company making that digestible for people.
You gotta eat, and companies hold all the cards here, and they buy and sell politicians to keep it that way.

The unix mbox format uses the sequence ["F", "r", "o", "m", " "] as its indicator that a new mail has started. If you're not careful about escaping your stored mails, you can easily corrupt them by starting a body paragraph with the word "From".

How do you escape the word From? Well, that's up to the client! Be careful using different clients for a given mbox file!

That was the plan until AT&T pulled the rug out from the resellers, so it's not an option anymore, as much as we'd like to.

That said, I believe we are in San Jose, just mostly for aerial (telephone pole) locations. Below ground infra is much more expensive to serve, and historically we've focused on aerial for that reason, but I believe plans are moving forward to fill in the gaps in the areas where we already provide service with micro-trenching, so hopefully we'll be able to offer you something in the future.
Lots of people have physically demanding jobs and things they do around the house.

And statistically speaking, most of this work is really done by professionals since most people live in cities without their own yards to clean up. People are paid to do physical labor all the time. It's often healthier long-term than desk jobs.
Disruption is the point. I'll have to bow out of this conversation as I am not able to understand those who don't get this.

I remember when I first started working for a BigCorp. We were trying to decide on the timeline for some project, I can't remember what. But it was about 6 months long for about 20 people. So about 21,000 hours total. I remember thinking, that this number of 21,000 hours must include vacation time as a deduction. And that BigCorp knew what the estimated amount of sick time, dentist appointments, etc, must deduct from that estimate, based on past years. That they knew if it was going to be a bad flu season. That they had done studies of their estimates and knew what the actual completions were versus the starting point. They someone, anyone, knew what the actual work output of BigCorp was.

Man alive, no, hard no. Laughably, no.

It was eye opening for me. Not a single living soul at BigCorp was measuring anything and all of them were too jaded to even think that if they did measure anything, that it would make any material difference. Every single person was faking it.
This would allow more complex shapes to be drawn by combining multiple glyphs, which would be useful for complex TUI applications (there are only a limited number of box-drawing characters available) Also, this could allow drawing more than two colours per terminal cell.

Good thing you're not the single person who became aware of the climate strike! I suspect many of the politicians who can actually influence things also remember the massive school strikes. Many protests are designed to raise awareness in addition to the 'stretch goal' of achieving direct results - so demonstrating that hundreds of thousands of school kids are this focused on the topic is a pretty good outcome even if some of the random people who were vaguely aware of the strikes can't do anything to help their demands. Said another way, it's not about you.
> saying essentially "this is disputed, here's a collection of specific critiques" would be met with "you didn't provide any specific critiques".

That would indeed be baffling, but did not happen here.
Well, I agree that it won't happen automatically.

My hope is that AI will cause the patent legal community to undergo a paradigm shift and place value on conciseness and brevity.

Well, the announcement on Tuesday caught me by surprise, so honestly, I think the core functionality of my web app and their's will be the same.

However, I plan on quickly implementing and iterating on user requests, so maybe my web app could become customized/tailored to individual needs, whereas openAI's app would have more broader user appeal.

One aspect not covered here: if such a device was around a person with classified status, at any hour of the day, shouldn’t we need to label it as a probable eavesdropper? I imagine a chunky yellow label saying that we technically cannot tell if this phone has spyware, because bossware activity is blended in.
To be honest, I truly do not know all possible ends, as I'm not an oracle. Based on the information I had at the time, I felt that this merger was the best option out of all of the ones being explored at the time.

Are they talking about it "the right way" though? I think there's a hidden cost to associate your cause with negativity, even if it will be remembered.

I'm sure that 15 years after the "strike" when they all hit voting age this may become useful information, but the politicians today are probably not thinking that far ahead.

This seems breathtakingly silly. I'm not saying it is about me.

I believe if you get the higher-priced Visible plan (Visible+), you have higher/equivalent to postpaid priority. I switched to this plan a year ago from Verizon, in an area where being deprioritized on any of the carriers means it's useless much of the day, and it's been great.
They're likely going to cite the OKCupid study, but leave out the part that the study applied to messages, not long-term partners. Polygamy may be on the rise, but not enough to account for the "multiple women per man" theory
First, you said

> If Americans emitted the same per capita rate as China, they would have a lower standard of living.

Then, you said

> Or build more nuclear, solar and wind plants, which they[China]'re doing.

So... the US could reduce their carbon footprint massively by doing the same, while maintaining standards of living? Good to see we are in agreement, and China is not the problem atm.
Over 10%? On the peak day mid-June, that may have been the case (although it may not have been. Crowd estimates differ). But the police managed to discourage enough protesters that those levels were not sustained for days.
I think we agree, my point was that you are not talking about high school (15-19 year old children where I live).

But now I see that their reply could also mean that the people are highschoolers at the time they are applying. I understood it as acceptance to high school itself.
It's branded as a thumb drive killer, but thumb drives can force vendors separated by walls of apathy and decades of time to be compatible with each other.

Does this have enough standardization / cross-manufacturer buy-in to make it likely to spread? Or is it an Intel "differentiator" where it will only ever work if you have two Intel laptops in a world where Intel is losing laptop marketshare? Target Disk Mode for Intel? The heavy feature-set makes me worry that this is the reality and that standardization is a pipe dream.
It is just an article, not a book. And there exist a kind of balance between length of an article and amount of details. More details means, that article will be lengthy and harder to read. Ok, the most bold similaryty between both events is factoring a large number into perimes. You can find such task in every Cicada 3301 game. And you also can find it in puzzle, made by Julian Assange for 2004 Puzzle Hunt (Disc). It is obvious, that not everyone will find this a fun challenge. I doubt, that you can find such tusk in every other Melbourne Uni Puzzle Hunt, except for 2004. And I also think, that it is very rare task in every other similar quest in general. In "Puzzle solving guide", writen for the 2004 Puzzle Hant, you can find the following: "If you are struggling for ideas to solve a code, try the following: Caesar shifts, Rot 13, converting letters to numbers, converting numbers to letters, Beale ciphers, look for letters with unusually high frequencies, see if the letters themselves are perhaps irrelevant, and the message is in their arrangement, try the Enigma code... If you don't know what these things are, try reading The Code Book by Simon Singh -- It may help, and if not, it is a very entertaining read!", - and Cicada 3301 game in 2012 started from Caesar shift. Also, obviously, that this guide was written by Assange. It is also obviously, that Assange also read another book by Simon Singh - Fermat's Last Theorem. And he should know about connection between cicadas and primes from that book, that told specifically about two species of cicadas with lifespan about 13 and 17 years. In 2013 game by Cicada 3301 that two numbers play big role, becouse they are primes and they are related to cicadas. For 2004 Puzlle Hunt assange made a puzzle (Score) about extracting message from a musical notation. And you also can find similar tasks in Cicada 3301 games. In his puzzle Caesar Cipher Assange used additional spacing between words to place a message in text. You can also find similar method in many Cicada 3301 puzzles. One of his puzzles was named Platonic and was related to geometric shape. You can find similar things in one of the 2014 puzzles by Cicada 3301. His puzzle Surstromming is about different interpretation of a word. You can also find such method many times in Cicada 3301 games (for example, Shalot is a name of a character of a literary work and also name of the computer program). Puzzles in Puzzle Hunt have no instuctions for them: they are parts of a mystic plot. And puzzles in Cicada 3301 games mostly have no instructions - they are part of a mystic plot. Every act of 2004 Puzzle Hunt started with a mystic quote (it is not tipical for subsequent MUMS Puzzle Hunt events). And Cicada 3301 games contain a lot of mystic quotes.
Natural is a word humans invented to distinguish the things they didn't do, make, or cause. Most of the time, a linguistic analysis is preferable to a philosophical one.

> The real issue here is that you keep bringing up outliers like your mother's palliative care and I keep talking about the norm, ie. that most people in therapy are not like your mother.

So, if the customer is dying (and we're all dying), it's not a scam, but if the same service is provided to someone else, it's a scam? That almost sounds like, (...wait for it...), the service isn't the scam.

> Therapy has become fashionable.

Nothing worse than services that have become fashionable.

> Everyone is "working on themselves" and plenty of therapists like patients that are well off and so can pay regularly.

Nothing quite like customers who can afford to pay for your services. Mercedes dealers tend to focus on those people too. ;-) Is it your position then that services that only wealthier people can afford are a scam? Is it not possible that they're receiving some benefit from the service that others would benefit from if they could somehow afford them?

> My point is that a lot of people who go to therapy probably don't need therapy, and even if they do they don't need as much as they think they do, the techniques in therapy are not very effective even in the best case, and that therapists are not incentivized to stop seeing patients that are paying them well and triage to cases that need more urgent intervention and probably can't pay them regularly.

Ice cream is similarly a scam, because a lot of people don't need ice cream, but they think they do. The ice cream is not very effective for them even in the best case, and ice cream makers are not incentivized to stop selling it to people who don't need it.
I agree, but we don't really need platforms to filter misinformation so much as to stop knowingly turbo-charging it.
I'm an almost exclusively music person, I'd say 99% of the music I listen to is techno without lyrics or they're inconsequential.

My girlfriend is the complete polar opposite, she mostly listens to these super-sad (to me) indie songs heavily focused on lyrics.

I wonder if there is a gender split on music vs. lyrics.
On Visible, your first 50GB of mobile data are not deprioritized.

Some people use a lot of mobile data - but I'm on my phone all day/night for business and pleasure, watch a lot of video content etc, but usually am within Wifi range of my home or office. I struggle to use more than 6GB of mobile data per month...

Before switching to Visible, I worried a lot about prioritization etc. After switching from Verizon (proper) -> Visible, and I can honestly say I haven't noticed any difference in performance. My bill is significantly lower though, which I do enjoy.
