That's an abominable take. It only makes sense if you're willing to ignore the massive suffering and ongoing trauma.

I wouldn't consider a simple counter against an account an invasion of privacy. And I'm pretty serious on privacy (I even set up 24/7 ollama server so I can avoid sending my more private LLM stuff to the cloud).

But it depends how you view this, true.
Is parsing untrusted images inherently problematic?

If I open my (untrusted) downloads folder using Gnome Files and it displays (and therefore parses) the contained images, is that a security issue I should be concerned about?

(I would have assumed that (e.g.) Javascript in PDFs could be problematic, but not a simple preview.)
It's definitely a little alarming when institutions start blurring the boundaries between the different sets of metrics by which we are judged for basic life necessities like a job and a bank account. I think for a lot of people it would be catastrophic in various ways if those were effectively collapsed into some kind of unified social credit score.

Yeah, I also have a severely autistic child.

Unfortunately, I feel like the autism community's search for acceptance often puts on blinders to such individuals. That is particularly frustrating because those vocal about autism acceptance often do it while castigating therapy as if it's always a horrible thing aimed at hiding their true selves. We are working as hard as possible so that our child can hopefully advocate for themselves when we are worm food. If that means "breaking" their true selves to teach them to communicate (speech therapy), or using behavioral therapy to get them to brush their teeth (even though they hate everything about it), so be it.

I get why the DSM widened the definition, but what it means to have severe autism is very different from what it means to have mild autism. If my child has deep thoughts, they have very little ability to express them.

Unpopular opinion - if you have information on your private computers that's sensitive enough to warrant a yubikey then you most certainly would WANT to pay a company to ensure the software is well maintained. Did you balk at the price of a yubikey when you made that purchase?
Check the median personal and household incomes over the last decade; both have increased, while household sizes have gotten smaller.

As people get richer, they have smaller households - ie, they stop living with their parents. If you don't allow smaller housing units to be built to match this, they will compete for existing ones and drive prices up.

Sure. Although I guess the occupiers can also hire thugs to beat the owner up with baseball bats. There are reasons why this form of dispute resolution has gone out of fashion in the kind of countries you might want to live in.

> Not sure how IBM folks could not see this opportunity just because it was smaller scale than "what they did".

Bureaucracy can be like that. Big bosses who might be really interested in increased profits rely on their subordinates to see the market, but subordinates are risk averse and don't want to change anything. Add corporate politics, people fighting not for innovations or for a market share but for promotions, and you'll get the picture.

It seems to be that they besides all that they were ideological, believed that size does matter and scorned on those who made computers smaller than theirs. Ideology means that people would have troubles to see anything that contradicts their ideology. Peer pressure, social desirability and all these things set up individual biases.

Is it worth the major part of a full time worker's income to have somebody take care of those things in the rare occasion they happen? Most normal people can easily fix their plumbing issues, a leaky roof, termites and such in a couple of days with a few hundreds of dollars in budget.

Landlords generally spend much less than 5% of their yearly rent income on maintenance. If they actually do something to improve an apartment, that is just an investment in their own real estate, that they own 100% even after having other people pay for it several times over during decades.

Edit: Or look at it this way: Would you hire and pay somebody a good salary for working maybe 5 or 10 days per year for you?

Windows 10 actually breathed new life into some older PCs. Sad to see them cut compatibility so suddenly and without significant advantages.
That's rare though. Build to rent an entire subdivision is a risky business because there are so many unpredictable costs involved with owning that many houses, and you have to maintain them even if they're not being rented out. It's much more common to build them and then sell them off so the family owning it has to deal with it. As I said, that's why the average landlord in the US owns two properties.

Apartments have the opposite situation for weird legal reasons; there are almost no condos built in California anymore because the laws allow the original developer to get sued over quality issues, whereas for apartments the landlord has to deal with it.
In what world do you live in that you think it's impossible for the market power dynamics to be unfair and exploitative?
There are so many ways this can happen to people, either by corporate discrimination or by getting caught in the legal system. Literally no one wants it to happen to them, yet we continue to exist under a set of laws that allow both the state and corporations to selectively destroy lives with little or no recourse for the victims.
Hmm. I hear ya, but this isn’t what I want test pilots spending effort on.

Test pilots are closer to an integration test in software. You expect the unit tests to pass green before you expect the related integration tests to work.

Multiple failures of maneuvering thrusters is technically a mission failure (in the flight plan sense), despite having nothing to do with the parameters of the mission, nor anything to do with adding humans. Maneuverability is the difference between a craft and junk.

what will happen is, police will come, you are in your house, some idiot claims to have legal right to the house, he cannot present SHIT, and at worst he will file some police report about you throwing him out, of which you might be fined.
The politicians who constantly cite "Job Creation" numbers that are not net, and don't distinguish between mcjobs and high-paying ones.
Fair enough an explanation. But then it begets the question what do you mean by socialism and capitalism?

My original understanding socialism = mostly control by government. ( which is a perverted version of 'let's co-operate as a society', and since that does not quite work it's need a central authority to force co-operation). Nearly all business end up be controlled by the state.

Capitalism = Govt. should not involve itself in ordinary and other activities such as enterprises, businesses of citizen, except when there is direct harm, like stealing, murder etc. Or so this was the original definition.

Note: I realize that neither is perfect, and that there can be nuances and different definitions. What's yours?

Just call it a proxy though, as that’s all it is. And end of the day, using better models with a VPN gives the same privacy and better performance. This is pointless beyond attempting to stop the bleeding from imploding search traffic.

DDG has made very poor technical and business decisions and they are trying to hold on but can’t escape the fact they are just a Bing wrapper. And Bing, like Google, is increasingly an index of AI spam.

Web search - from any company - is rapidly approaching full-on utility collapse.

Pushing half-truths about second and third tier LLM models being “private” will not stop the bleeding.
I've been a happy customer of Netcup for many years now. If you don't need automation but just servers which you know you'll be running for years, they have a better price/performance ratio than Hetzner. But you should wait for their seasonal discounts, like easter, summer or the like, where they have really good offerings. Hetzner is more professional, though.

I think it has a lot to do with the dose and delivery method... if you take massive doses or inject/snort the medications like people trying to get high on stimulants, the rate at which the drug takes effect causes euphoria, which is addicting. There is no euphoria with properly taken low dose stimulant medications for ADHD- they aren't "enjoyable."
If Google leaves a boolean switch in Chromium to keep V2 enabled then I assume most if not all of the third party Chromium-derived browsers will just flip it to true by default. That's easy for them to do, the hard part is if Google strips out V2 altogether and leaves the downstream browsers to patch it back in.

None of what you said sounds like a problem. What is the problem? It sounds like a policy to ensure dwellings, which are obviously a scarce resource in those areas have actual people living in them. That is kind of their point. Of course it would be beneficial to have a better legal framework to ensure housing security and building maintenance.
Small gossip – Eric Normand is Mark Normand's brother (stand-up comedian).
I own a couple but the one thats probably the most valuable that im currently building a future product with is bloomberry.com
my brother had a motorcycle stolen, and police didnt do shit. Eventually my brother managed to find out who stole it, and police still did not want to come. Turns out the thief also had some problems(owing money) with hells angels. A deal was struck with the fine angels, and the location of the perp was exchanged with (later that day) a recovered motorcycle. He was told the guy probably wouldnt be stealing motorcycles for a while :)
I would assume this is completely standard. The ear doctor I went to, and that guy was noone "fancy", did this and that must have been more then 10 years ago.
Th predominant view in the field has been that there is early cerebral overgrowth followed by either normalization or regression of brain volume in adolescence. However, this conclusion is based on cross-sectional comparisons. This means, they look at different people at different ages, and make inferences on developmental trajectories based on these cross-sectional, age-related patterns. While this is often a starting point, cross-sectional research can suffer from sampling biases.

A huge weakness in autism neuroimaging research is the un-representativeness of
their samples. Nearly a third of individuals with autism have severe intellectual impairments (IQ's < 70) yet represent less than 1% of neuroimaging samples. Individuals with other immense behavioral, sensory and language challenges are also rarely make it through the rigors of imaging protocols.

A rare exception has been imaging research that performed brain imaging in very young children during natural sleep. and thus can hold still enough for quality MRI images to be acquired. This has allowed imaging of autistic children aged 2-6 years to include autism over a whole range of severities, challenges, and intellectual abilities.

This presents a problem though. The research that suggested there is brain overgrowth in early childhood sampled from a wide range of autism phenotypes and severities, while the normalization evidence in adolescents and adults came from autistic participants with normal ranged IQs and less severe challenges, a clear cross-sectional sampling bias that threatens the validity of the overgrowth normalization story.
Moreover, research indicated that disproportionate brain size in autism was associated with slower intellectual improvements with development.

I and my colleagues thus hypothesized that the discrepancy would be removed if we can follow the same children from childhood into adolescence longitudinally. Using a number of behavioral techniques and a lots of care and dedication, our team managed to acquire brain data in a broad spectrum of autism phenotypes and severity levels from early childhood into early adolescence.

We reported the results of our study in Biological Psychiatry Lee in 2021.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8089123/ (open access).

Our conclusion: Longitudinal evidence does not support the notion that early brain overgrowth is followed by volumetric regression, at least from early to late childhood.

It's actually from Epictetus. He was a slave, but he was happy. Then he was released and taught in a school he founded. One of his students wrote up his notes into Discourses. This was eventually read by a young Marcus Aurelius, who grew up to be one of the better Roman emperors. The same philosophy united a lame slave and the most powerful man in the world, two very different people who lived ~100 years apart.

Same story for me. Water in the ear feeling for several days, except it was a punk concert and I was just young and didn't realize. Persistent low ringing in my ears ever since. Now I wear earplugs any time I'm at a concert.

I do, to an extent, blame the venues for concerts for not indicating that hearing damage is possible. At 16, it's not something you would even consider. At the bare minimum, offer earplugs when you're checking tickets. A lot of smaller, grassroots festivals do.
Yes but that (should? used to?) come with a significant reputational hit for the company.
