To build a verified 18+ network inherently requires undermining some privacy to determine, as you are now collecting ID from all of the users of your (e.g.) fetlife platform. The responsibility and liability should be with parents to prevent their kids from using platforms for which they are not legally old enough, not with the service provider.

(Note that I'm not saying this bill requires age verification, nor that it doesn't: I am merely responding to the suggestion to build "verified 18+ networks" as a way of easily being compliant.)
You need to be specific. It's very much location based in terms of data quality and how current it is. It's great in the SF Bay Area, which isn't surprising given where Apple is based.
I always acted as if there were no such thing as private data on github. Maybe even the internet as a whole.
That’s not correct, there’s several ways the actual type of a value differs from what typescript thinks it is. But soundness isn’t a goal of typescript.
People say that but I say why does the government get to decide that and not parents? I have a kid and parent controls are a thing. You know what I don't see even at my kid's young age? Parents using parental controls. I have locked out preteens from these kinds of things. You know what my siblings did? Grant them access because it was annoying to listen to them whine about not having access. I have told grown adults about what a videogame entailed. They go, "Oh no, not for my child!" And then they buy the game marked as mature and why it's mature and they present their license at the store then call me shocked that this video was not at all appropriate for children.

Giving parents the tools isn't working. They already have the tools and aren't using them. This is letting the government decide what's right for your child and even adults across the board because people hate this one part of digital life and are too lazy to teach their kids to interact with it responsibly with the guardrails and restrictions they can totally apply.

Every time this idea of "Oh, kids shouldn't have access to social media" comes up, I get upset because kids only get access through their parents. There are precious few children who have absolute control over their digital life. Their parents have just declined to see what's possible because of the modern version of "I'm not a computer person." Or they can't take their kid's displeasure.

Apparently, people think that at 18, you'll magically have the skills to be responsible on the internet instead of what will really happen we send a bunch of adults into the deep end to make mistakes without guidance or the lienancy of youth. Something like this law takes responsible parents ability to slowly ramp up their kid's ability to be competent digital citizen and cripples the utility as a whole, especially for those who hold minoriry opinions like, "man, I really dislike my country because of reasons the larger community is ignoring. Wish the government would treat me like a person." See LGBT community, but there are more.
When a company's shareholders are employees, their wages don't stop just because the company loses money two years. Just like a company whose shareholders are pension funds and index funds doesn't stop paying its employees when they have a couple down years.

I used the first definition of delete I found which, while arguably “archaic”, matches the modern technical term almost exactly. We’d typically call that a well known word with a clear meaning.

And sure, the DELETE FROM statement in postgres - or any other standards compliment sql db I know.
The period of "closed science", which really took on steam after the extensions of copyright in 1976 and 1998, will be look backed upon as rampant with dishonesty and corruption.

If you are in academia and you are not publishing your stuff to the public domain, including your git repo, please take some time to think about this and do what you need to do to pivot.
The first thing you see when you enter a store is a friendly and representative member of your community.

Yeah it is great for customers when prices go down.

That's a benefit, not a drawback.

Those cabbies should have offer better service at a lower price if they wanted to compete.
Minus the naughty bits. The text doesn’t distinguish what the person’s doing.

I suspect the courts will find that “make a picture of Jane Smith eating dinner” should have been caught: someone asked for it by name. If you provided a sufficiently detailed description of Jane, like you would to a police artist, and the end result ends up looking like Jane although she was never mentioned, that would seem a lot trickier to pin on the AI.
> It turns out non-programmers actually like graphical tools. Go figure.

I'd rather say that visual tools are better abstractions than what text based tools can provide for those specific scenarios. Some problems are easier solved with diagrams.
I actually do use Alexa to buy stuff pretty often, but it’s stuff that I’ve already ordered on Amazon, and which I can’t conveniently buy locally, like pure sucralose powder and aeropress filters.

And that’s the problem. I’m not shopping with Alexa, because that experience is excruciating. I’m reordering things which I was already going to order through Amazon. They’re not actually generating new sales there; they’re just saving me from having to pull my phone out.
I contribute to OSM, and I've seen it in my own local town. It's not so much nefarious as it is negligent. They don't have local knowledge, see a satellite image of what seems like a road and decide it connects to existing residential roads. If you spend time on it, you'll notice it too as it was common enough for me to notice it.

Oh, they have plenty of time to do it. We have created lots of MBAs...people who want to take advantage of their education, and to do so they want to squeeze a little more profit. And they're bored. And they need to stand out from their coworkers. Therefore 'price per net weight' becomes a thing. And Surge pricing.

(Peanutbutter M&Ms are an egregious example...the share bag price varies 20% depending on the calendar, as does Hilshire Farm Kielbasa...which now comes in 14 oz packages...which is a choice and means a family of 4 needs to buy two of them now to make a meal.)
I don't know if the Fed themselves gives margins of error, but the GDPNow indicator the Atlanta Fed puts out (https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow) also includes ranges for industry forecasts. In this case it seems we were above even the most optimistic expectations.
In the book, Sapiens, they talk about how, while important, homo sapiens ability to socially coordinate allowed the species to hunt, protect from/attack neighboring homo species (i.e. Neanderthals). Our brains gave us the ability to coordinate large groups (social groups, hunting groups) without the restriction of instinct giving our group members to pivot as necessary.
New Coke wasn't a failure. It let Coca-Cola Corp rebrand it's 1984ish US market reformulation of The-Brown-Drink using high-fructose corn syrup as "Coca-Cola Classic."

At the time, journalists followed the PR thread and nobody noticed that Coca-Cola Classic wasn't what Coca-Cola had been prior to the 1980's. Wasn't The-Brown-Drink that kept losing The Pepsi Challenge. HFCS was the future and New Coke was the smoke screen that Coca Cola Corp obscured maneuvers.

Agreed. Everytime I order supplements, I have to create a spreadsheet to compare the price per active ingredient weight. Hard to standardize such a thing, of course, but for a lot of other household articles it would definitely be possible.
I am perplexed by the admired/desired labels: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/technology/#admired-and...

I don't see how they're deriving these judgments from the question that was asked:

> Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)

Desired is clear enough. If somebody said they wanted to work with XYZ next year, then it's desired. But how are they deriving "admired" from the fact that somebody had to work with XYZ this year?
Google intends to do the same by end of this year:

As I read it this allows civil suites against persons for publishing up a photo where the publisher used the "remove element from background", much less "any Instagram filter" without the explicit consent of the photographed person.

> As the sibling comment describes, Nix can get a bit gnarly once you're off the beaten path, and having your whole OS subject to that is a pain.

For me, years and years ago, that 'pain' (having my whole 9S subject to Nix's constraints) is what pushed me to really learn it instead of just retreating to the traditional base system. It transformed learning Nix (and even sometimes writing packages or extending NixOS) into the path of least resistance to run the software I wanted or needed to use. And that was helpful for me.

For others (and for me at other times in my life) I understand that this is not always the right approach. But it can be really good.
Whether or not it also applies to men, it was written with women in mind.

"when you are able to actively subjugate all women in society on a scale of millions, at once digitally, it’s a direct connection [with] taking their rights away"

"Current laws don’t apply to deepfakes, leaving women and girls who suffer from this image-based sexual abuse without a legal remedy"

"The legislation would amend the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) "
Worse than trying to attract eyeballs, they’re lying to put down an industry that threatens the existence of traditional media and especially media like them that relies on advertising

> and in that case there's nothing unsound about ts since it won't allow you to do so

Consider this example (https://www.typescriptlang.org/play/?ssl=10&ssc=1&pln=1&pc=1...):

function messUpTheArray(arr: Array<string | number>): void {
arr.push(3);
}

const strings: Array<string> = ['foo', 'bar'];
messUpTheArray(strings);

const s: string = strings[2];
console.log(s.toLowerCase())

Could you explain how this isn't the type system accepting types "different to what has been declared"? Kinda looks like TypeScript is happy to type check this, despite `s` being a `number` at runtime.
It was a conversation with my parents. They told me what they didn't want me looking at and why, and wanted me to talk to them if I ran into something. We didn't respect each other on much, but they at least trusted me to be responsible online and keep an open dialogue, and it worked out.

Disagree, as we also publish “failed” research, where authors reflect on their experiment, such that others may learn from it, and that the others may still gain something useful academically from this (citations, a publication).

One of our goal is to change the perception of and culture around failure in academia. Research/science is not just a steady upward trend of progress, it comes with a lot of trial and error. Academics’s success and job prospects however depend mostly on them publishing in high impact journals, which in turn only publish “interesting” aka positive results, which creates this very toxic publish-or-perish culture. Having an experiment fail is a natural part of doing science, but academic institutions punish you for not producing positive results.
By providing a place to publish these failed experiments, at least it provides some relief for this problem. This is not real change however, that needs to happen at a much higher level, but that is one we do are not able to impact. Ideally our journal will not be necessary in the future, as we detail in our opening editorial: https://doi.org/10.36850/ed1
the only thing I like in Google maps more than Apple Maps is reviews. Yelp integration in Apple is annoying as it asks me to open an app to view photos from a place.
As a developer, the difference might be minimal, you see the http:// part.

The decaf process seems expensive so you might expect the end result to cost more, but it never does. Which means either the producers are making less profit on decaf, or they are using lower quality beans. If the latter is true, which seems more likely, that might explain why decaf sometimes tastes less good, separately from the effect of the process itself on taste.
You have any concrete examples of this happening you could link to?

It's possible that we are talking at cross purposes.

Imho there is an issue with the word "delete". Apparently for anyone who is hosting someone else's (private and/or sensitive and/or worthy) data is to hide it from view, but keep it around "just in case" or "because we can" or "what are you gonna do about it"?

I 'love' it when I see the words "hide", "archive", "remove", and other newspeak to avoid using the word "delete", since 'they' never actually delete (plus there are 1-2-5-10-forever years' of backups where your 'deleted' info can be retrieved relatively easy).
When the first amendment was drafted 233 years ago do you think they anticipated that one day anyone would be able to speak in anyone else's voice, indistinguishably from if they had actually said it? The constitution does occasionally need re-evaluating in light of new technology, like when the right to bear arms was effectively narrowed to the right to bear some arms when the most powerful weapons vastly outstripped what the general public could reasonably be expected to handle. Few people will unironically argue that 2A means that everyone should be allowed to have a nuke.
You're willing to support a broad censorship program that will affect everyone and harm marginalized people because you snooped on some kids on a train in a narrow, non-representative slice of their lives. You know nothing about them, but you act like you do.

Everyone else just shipped some level of removing 3rd party cookies, but did so in a non specified way, with arbitrary carve outs & limitations & workarounds.

Google has been extremely busy trying to find ways to get login flows to keep working adequately well. In a specified, standardized manner. Look at what explainers they have, and note how many deal with 3rd party cookies or storage bucket access, https://github.com/orgs/explainers-by-googlers/repositories?...

Also compounding the difficulty is that we added storage isolation to the web, making even more of a fractal maze of problems, before figuring out how we were going to get rid of 3rd party cookies. That's probably fine, it's been a progressive layering of pretty good privacy/security, but it's more specced out complexity that has to be tangled with.
You're very trusting. I won't let alexa in my home, let alone near my kids.

seems odd that you didn't include the next sentence:

That is, the FHA included the covenants, not Levitt.
It does not inherently require the network to know anything more than "over 18". It does not require an age verification oracle to know anything other than "requested verification", and even that can be done only once so the oracle doesn't know how many times you provided that verification to someone. See e.g. digital IDs/driver's licenses.
I think it's a subjective call on what you consider spying. Amazon and its integrations / 3rd parties are certainly using what they can gather based on Alexa interactions to better sell and serve their ad ecosystem at minimum right? And I've never seen someone leave theirs muted/red in practice.

With some of the recent work done with ClickHouse this has been an area I've had to learn about and, tbh, wish I had found this earlier.

Our CTO started using Morton curves for interesting purposes several months ago with initially piqued my interest and started me down the path.
