I think this ultimately becomes a religious discussion; even the article (wrongly in our view) calls Darwin "god-like" and suggests that belief in animals having consciousness is "heresy" (this perhaps borders on theological error, rather than heresy?)

It is a long-standing religious belief that animals do not possess a rational immortal soul and neither do they possess the ability to choose good or evil but are instead governed by instinct, which is why we don't put animals on trial for crimes as it is presumed they have no consciousness of what is right and wrong like humans do

It might be worth reviewing many of the characteristics unique to humans to by way of contrast appreciate how different humans are from other creatures

Animals lack the "moral consciousness" and dignity that is unique to humans which is why most people are comfortable even killing animals and eating them as food, while "cannibalism" is thought to be a barbaric immoral practice contrary to unique human dignity

Articles like these in our view are being pushed possibly to degrade humans to the level of animals so as to justify animal-like immoral behavior

Yep. I have a single speed e bike with a belt drive and internal motor in the back wheel. Use it for commuting round London. 0 maintenance. None of this over engineered Bosch shit. Cheap Chinese 250w motor in the back, belt drive, aluminium frame. These should take off, but so far the major bike manufacturers have overcomplicated the category - and the startup that made mine has gone under (analog motion)
The article you linked is about Hushmail. Nothing about Protonmail.
The first benefit is some bots won't bother testing passwords as the SSH error message tells them the server doesn't use password auth. The second benefit is if your server is compromised it's quite easy for a rootkit to hijack SSH and steal your password when you login (and then abuse that on other servers you use it), the same is not true with a key and it is much harder for a rootkit to abuse as long as you only use the key on your local machine (there are strong protections against SSH handshake MITM attacks afaik)
Quite different from then too.

But as 'Railway Economy', it does align with the ancient meaning.

BTW, welcome, new user.
Anyone can bring forth a class action lawsuit. Nothing has been ruled on that, so it doesn't support that claim.

But more to the point: being misled into purchasing it is entirely different than being misled while driving it, and blaming an accident on thinking the auto assist didn't need their attention as a result.

That is not what the lawsuit is alleging.

It stands to reason that if there was anything approaching a credible case that any driver thinks they don't need to be engaged while driving a Tesla, because of misleading naming of its driver assist features, some law firm somewhere would have organized a lawsuit on behalf of accident victims by now.

So the evidence supports my position.
Different building philosophy.in Europe, much more is spent on materials and labor and the expectation that it will be used without change for a long time, and pay itself off.

The US is geared more towards lower up front cost. Neither is inherently wrong.

There are also feedback mechanisms where the most common option becomes cheaper, and the specialty more expensive.

Why pay 3x for something that lasts 3x as long? What if it lasts less than 3x as long? I don’t know which actually has a better Long term route.

I imagine most of it comes down to price sensitivity and owner demographics. Rich Americans often have ceramics or other roofing, presumably because they can afford it and would rather not deal with it.

I’m raising a new building this winter and will certainly go with shingles based on my budget.
Thanks for the detail! I suspect our use cases are different, though: I use my bicycle and motorcycle for different use cases, the former to transport myself, the latter for myself and another passenger. For going places, I prefer the bicycle, as you get free exercise as a bonus. For going somewhere with someone else, or going far, I'll need something closer to the motorcycle form factor, which necessarily will have to be much more expensive and elaborate.

I'm glad to see that e-bikes have become so good, though. My use case is very niche, because I live right at one end of a bike lane that spans the entire city, so going to any of the busy areas is just biking next to the sea, on a level road, for max half an hour, which isn't really hard enough to warrant an e-bike...

There's a cottage industry of shitty mass-scanning attacks that continue onto getting root on badly setup fresh installs of various linux distros and drop a rootkit on them.

Some other common targets are websites to be reused for spam (hello, Wordpress!) or to hijack things like gitlab (again to drop a rootkit.

The rootkits are then usually used either for DDoS extortion rackets (usually against game servers, including online gambling), spam (might be less big today than it used to be), and cryptocurrency mining (from my experience mainly monero).

One time it happened in a network I set up due to miscommunication and misunderstanding of how vendor's install scripts worked (by vendor technicians!). During investigation, we found out that this particular "kit" was sold cheaply on a chinese forum (used to be russian forums back in the day, eh), as complete package to run on Windows to attack linux hosts for DDoS botnet purposes.
I do not think that such a conversation is done in productive way (especially when cutting phrases in half to make them appear making no sense) but will try get a couple of points across:

- I interpreted the comment in the context of the answer to a specific article/interview. In the linked content, for example, there is a video of a 2.5yo doing a "flashcard class". While I do not think there is anything inherently harmful or anything, it is not a way that 2.5yos learn about the world, and even if it is not harmful it is not needed for 2.5yos to sit on a chair and doing a class to learn about the world. Their curiosity and own exploration drive is enough for pulling them into learning, and this is what I mean by parents should feed, ie see what their kids are most curious and interested in and feeding them inputs to that direction. The comment you answered to was referring to this article, and I interpreted your answer in that context. If I misinterpreted anything, I can only see the context that is shared here, not in your mind.

- To reiterate and clarify more on the context, "Speaking and reading to children is a natural activity" is _not_ what OP was about. What OP was about is applying a specific strategy for kids at 2+ years, ie to learn to read using a specific exploitation-based approach. If that is all you meant by your previous comment, then you may want to reread the comment you answered to from that perspective. Nobody here is saying "leave the kids do what they want and do not care about interacting with them much/talking around them" that you seem to suggest. When I say parents building upon kids' own curiosity and exploration drive I mean seeing what sort of inputs their kids become more curious and interested in at a certain time and feeding them inputs like that. When a kid starts being interested in sounds and music, feed them with sounds and music and sound/music-related books and toys. There is no handbook that is gonna say which month and day exactly this should happen for a specific kid.

- I may miss a lot of knowledge indeed, but I still find setting goals of "maximising language exposure" and "maximising IQ" weird and unclear. No, I have never read or heard this way of approaching development and learning. Parents doing their best and being mindful of the importance of language exposure is different than "maximising" anything. Maximising with respect to which parameters? Even defining this as an optimisation problem, any complex optimisation problem like this is a tradeoff between different parameters and outcomes. What happens to the other parameters and outcomes when you optimise on just one?

- If "you do not speak the jargon" is what you prefer to focus, just say that and any more discussion will not be needed.

I guess people don't have a clue about Germany's problems and their reasons. ( And many Germans just don't agree to that, too)

For example there have been short and medium term actions to lower down the electricity prices.

There have been some attempts to slow down the bureaucracy.

There have been a strong push for digitalisation (Especially the health system is on nice track, currently). Also it is esspeucz annoying by American HNs to read critics as digital government in US is bad. Estonia is the role model, here.

At all, this is the federal or national level. Other level do try to improve the situation! Darmstadt's push on pharmacy is very impressive, Schlesig Holstein becomes centre for green Energy and also EU is very important here.
You're being sarcastic, right? We did this for telephone numbers and saw how it turned out...

SO - systematic financial fraud. And a (probably ill-paid and over-worked) adjunct art history/appreciation instructor at a community college is making a plea for her peers to become AI-savvy financial fraud policemen.

There is no mention in the whole article of actual policemen, or other law enforcement. Extrapolating a bit, I'll guess that the only "state authority" that exists is the little community college. And its only power is to cut off the financial aid money for one of the unknown fraudster's fake identities.

Personal contacts. With this, I mostly mean LinkedIn. Found my last two gigs there. Once because an old colleague was reaching out and the other time when I made a post, that I am up for work.

Just for reference:

> the article (wrongly in our view) calls Darwin "god-like"

It does not. The exact quote is:

Charles Darwin enjoys a near god-like status among scientists for his theory of evolution.

It's an idiom that does NOT claim Darwin is like an actual god, it's also a statement that I disagree with as not all scientists consider Darwin to hold that status, a good number credit Wallace with the theory, with holding it first, for having better evidence, and Darwin holding the home court advantage being in England and able to present in person to the Royal Society.

> which is why we don't put animals on trial for crimes

You may not but many animals have been put on trial for crimes throughout history.

Your opinion is noted .. although appears to have been eronously made as if a statement of fact which is debated, as discussed in the article.
> It's primarily a speculative instrument, not a currency.

As a result of its capped supply, which incentivizes hoarding.
For use as currency, a pure linear supply like 1 coin per second forever is preferable, avoiding wealth concentration as well as the long term problem of chain security depending on fees.

No, I'm not a statist, which I mentioned earlier.

This is actually the whole mistaken premise that underlies the notion of software architecture and design. Building software is not at all like building a bridge or a sky scraper. It's more similar to designing those.

With big architecture projects you first design them and then build them. This is a lot of work. You have to think about everything, run simulations, engage with stakeholders, figure out requirements and other constraints, think about material cost, weight, etc. Months/years can be lost with big construction projects just coming up with the designs. The result is a super detailed blueprint that covers pretty much all aspects of building the thing.

It's a lot like building software, actually. These design projects have a high degree of uncertainty, risk, etc. But it's better than finding out that it's all wrong before you start building and using massive amounts of people, concrete, steel, and other expensive resources. But when have you ever heard an architect talk about making a design for their design to mitigate this? It's not a thing. There might have been a sketch or a napkin drawing at some point at best. SpaceX has introduced some agile elements into their engineering, which is something they learned from software development.

With software, your finished blueprint is executable. The process of coming up with one is manual, the process of building software from the blueprint is typically automated (using compilers and other tools) and so cheap software developers do it all the time (which wasn't always the case). The process of creating that executable blueprint has a lot of risks of course. And there might be some napkin/whiteboard designs here and there. But the notion that you first do a full design and then a full implementation (aka. waterfall) was never a thing that worked in software either. With few exceptions, there generally are no blueprints for your blueprint.

Read the original paper on Waterfall by Royce. It doesn't actually mention waterfalls at all and it vaguely suggests iterating might be a good idea (or at least doing things more than once). He fully got that the first design was probably going to be wrong. Agile just optimized away the low value step of creating designs for your blueprints that becomes apparent when you iterate a lot.
There is also a lot of metal (random pieces along with nails and screws) and glass on roads. It seems roading contractors here are obligated to pour a box of screws onto the road before they move onto the next job.
It's absolutely great to see you've figured out the details of it! Indeed, the repository comes with a mix of Python and Rust which need to be built together. We trust our users not to re-build the package with altered parameters for production use (given the package build from sources is slightly non-trivial and takes an hour or two, one cannot really get this wrong by accident...). Then, for learning and non-production use, the BSL under which Pathway is distributed, allows you to do almost anything with the code.
You learn to market your services. If you don't know how to market, there's plenty of resources out there.

I can't really offer advice on how good e-bikes are, but I can say the costs have come down, yes.

Our use cases are definitely different. If you want a replacement for the motorcycle to carry another passenger, you probably won't be able to use a scooter. You could grab something like the XPedition Cargo eBike which can carry a passenger. It's got a 750W motor and weighs only about 70lbs when unloaded. It's only $1400 and there is a one-year warranty on the motor. However, they do not sell replacement motors even if you have money, so expect the bike to last only the one year. (In my experience, regardless of industry, the length of the warranty is usually a relatively accurate indicator of how long the product actually lasts in practice.)
1. (Easy - Lesser Pay) Attach to a Service Company. While I was at Razorfish, I worked with many Freelancers. You have to be one of them. I see them in regular contact and working via these companies in rotation.

2. (Hard - Better Pay) Personal Networked Connections, if you have one from prior jobs, etc. Otherwise, start building this up - a long-tail game that pays off as time passes.

3. (Harder - Awesome Pay) A long-term play is to start building up a following in the niche you are good at. Try to be very good in the sector you want to work. I once started a company and supported it for many years just by the work that came from my blog and public presence. I was focusing only on writing ActionScript topped with the ability to design. If Macromedia (Adobe) had to pick and introduce big clients to a bunch of people doing that, I was one of the ones in the line. I had the opportunity to work with the likes of STARZ, Disney, Pearson, etc. because I was there helping people on forums asking any questions about the topic.
"I suppose not"

I guess the same can be said about Fridtjof Nansen, arguably the greatest polar explorer of all. And a great man in most other respects.

But alas, he never crossed the north east passage and never reached the north pole.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fridtjof_Nansen

I am bringing it up as an example because it is such a strange thing to say. He succeeded in so many other ways.

I'll also add a quote from Schackleton in a letter to his wife regarding turning back from furthest south with the pole 100 miles away.

“Better a live donkey than a dead lion.”
Yep :) The real trick is to not be vulnerable to known issues, and then mitigate post-compromise like crazy on the off chance you get patch gapped or (very unlikely) zero dayed.

Blocking IP addresses is extremely silly, especially in an IPv6 world where attacker can easily get access to gigantic numbers of addresses in hard to identify ways (there's no source of truth for what IPv6 range corresponds to one blockable "customer". Some get /56s, others get /48s, etc.). It's security theater which may well just break your service for real users.
Huh, that looks very interesting, thank you! The motor not being available to buy separately is a concern, but I'll evaluate my risk profile on this, thanks again!
If you push it you can scan the entirety of IPv4 in about five minutes.

But those biased aspects are part of merit.

I was once part of a team interviewing a manager. A person slated to be my boss. I was also up for the role, so I had an incentive to not "love" the people I was interviewing.

When we met one candidate, I told the hiring manager to hire the candidate. I withdrew and he got hired. He and I were equally qualified on paper. But he had merit I didn't. I wanted to work with him. Compatibility is part of merit. It's a huge part.

Should we stop eating chicken, fish, and other small animals, in favour of bigger ones like cow? That would reduce farm animal suffering by more than 80%

What about the meat alternative insects? Are they conscious? If so there are people investing millions. to kill gazillion lives a year

Or are they definitely "inferior"?

Do we even know what suffering and consciousness is?

Why did nature evolved for animals to eat each other?
