Another related article to this one. Fake claims going so far as to claim people's identities, which makes it easier to refute except the people falling for it don't go outside their social media bubbles so will never learn of or believe the refutations.
They wear a shirt and tie. No weapon. You don't have to answer the door to them. You don't have to let them in. However they are generally lieing scumbags who suggest that they are allowed in.

If they catch you watching TV they will report you for a £1000 fine and a criminal record. Failing to pay it will land you in prison.

I spent years without a license, you don't need one for YouTube and Netflix. I unplugged the aerial wire. You do need it for any live TV or BBC catch up TV. I got visited once during that time and he kept asking to come in, I kept telling him I didn't need to let him. He kept asking what I watch on TV, I told him politely, that was none of his concern.

If they suspect you are harboring an illegal TV then they will come back with a warrant and the police!
Things can be both - insurance fraud jumps to mind, for example. You have to make the insurance company whole (they sue you in civil court) and you have to stand trial for your alleged crime (you're arraigned in criminal court).
There's another another way to do this, which I have used successfully for years -

The fixed time step simulation is the ground truth "goal", and the "render simulation" is "pulled" towards the goal using an exponential moving average interpolation.

I find that moving the render simulation 90% of the way to the goal every 80 milliseconds feels good for UI interactions. That means that the rendered version is 99% of the way to the goal after 160 msec, 99.9% after 240 msec, etcetera.

This also has the nice property that the render sim is always smooth regardless of tick rate and it never overshoots the goal sim.

I can get behind that for sure. I often live in places with stuff like electricity shortages and I'm sure we could be doing more robust/better communications using all sorts of underutilized technologies and standards that already exist - I really like stuff like LoraWAN. However nitpicking on emails when there's way way way bigger consumers of electricity seems like the most distracted nonsense ever
What part of this would be illegal? It's just a zigbee door sensor. The only issue I could see is the college getting upset but if anything they'd just say 'take it down'
That's a lot of "this won't work" without very much "here's what does work" leading me to conclude this is bluster and ego.

I always hear these finance people dick waving about how crap everyone else's methodologies are without examples of their own. This leads me to conclude it's all snake oil anyway.

So I'm asking, speaking as a former M&A financial advisor... What _does_ work?
>Part of me thinks, man, the engineers not afraid of setting up a p Postgres or Redis really should be worth a lot more, given how absurd the prices can get.

I've heard somewhere that the social credit system is really misrepresented in the West - it's designed to track financial scammers and people who set up fraudulent companies. It's meant to weed out untrustworthy business partners, just like how the Western credit system is designed to weed out untrustworthy bankers. (Weird how the only 'group' in the West who gets implicit protection against scams are the banks)

It doesn't really concern the everyman on the street.

The few high profile cases where it was used to punish individuals who ran afoul of some politically powerful person or caused some huge outrage are red herrings - if the system didn't exist, theyd've found some other way to punish them.

The last summit, known as COP15, was arguably much more important. During the event, held in 2022, nearly all countries of the world agreed on a groundbreaking new deal to halt biodiversity loss by 2030.

I know this is a big deal and I should feel happy that something is being done, but I always hate how the date in these kinds of agreements is always just far away enough for people to handwave not doing anything this year or next year or the year after that.
>To clarify, heart failure and brain death are going to be part of every death

Not entirely related to the topic at hand, but i want to mention it as a darkly amusing anecdote: During the heyday of the Soviet NKVD's (predecessor to the KGB) management of Stalin's monstrous purge of Soviet society, hundreds of thousands of people were killed in all sorts of ways. Many of them died by torture or just by being shot illegally (even by Stalinist Soviet standards) Since publicly acknowledging this made for bad optics even in the Stalinist USSR, a very common formal, officially recorded cause of death in these cases was "heart failure". Why? Because whether you shoot, starve, freeze or beat and torture someone to death, their ultimate cause of death involves the stopping of their heart. It's crudely honest for the sake of superficial legality, without being in the least bit truly honest about the context of what was happening.
The catch/lifting points may look small, but actually protrude from the side of the booster by 2-3 feet. Note that the booster is actually in a hover at the point the arms close in to touch it, so as long as it's vertical rotational axis is right (there are only 2 pins - one on either side), the positioning of the pins on the catching arms is basically guaranteed.
For me it feels like Stokers dracula is only so popular because it's where all the tropes come from, not because it's particularly well written, or something like that.

It's one of those firsts that established a genre.

I know Stoker didn't invent vampires, but they came into western English speaking culture through his Dracula.
Exactly. I'm not sure why I clicked on this article given that [Giant Corp] introducing hidden [Anything] into [Free Product] isn't exactly a surprise is it?
You think it would be better to have an open boarder? No other country seems to think that's a good idea.

What do you think the ideal solution should look like? Keep in mind that you'll have to defend against or allow into the country economic migrants looking for higher wages, millions of truly desperate climate refugees who don't have homes to go back to, as well as terrorists and criminals.
> Even worst cases of climate change and habitat destruction won't match historical mass extinction events.

Probably true, but it may just be the timescale is different.

> But there are a lot of people who are weirdly invested in humanity causing a mass extinction.

Well, we are causing mass extinctions! Just because it's not as bad as the dinosaurs got it doesn't mean it's not bad. And I love the natural world, why would I be anything other than invested in this ongoing tragedy, even if the eventual ceiling of our destruction isn't quite meteor-level outcomes?

Great overview. Add to the list the nuclear option of a “gene drive”, a genetic modification that spreads exponentially through a mosquito population.
Try skimming the Wikipedia articles on some major authors of that era, to get a sense for how much short (or serialized) fiction & poetry was routinely published in newspapers and magazines back then.

Without some specific clues, a real historian would not be looking for Bram Stoker stories in an 1890 issue of the Daily Express Dublin Edition. He'd be skimming through the archives of many of the newspapers & magazines published in an era and geographic region, cataloging authors & stories & poems. "Success" would be just compiling a well-done catalog. 15 minutes of fame in the popular press could equally well result from finding some unknown early work by James Joyce, or Winston Churchill, or George Bernard Shaw, or Oscar Wilde, or Yeats, or ...

I think it's plainly obvious that if your goal is to stop people from illegally crossing the border, then monitoring that border is a necessity.

This is the goal of fewer people in power than you think, and keep in mind there is more border than the one between Mexico and the US. Most undocumented people have flown here and simply overstayed their visa. On the other hand, congress has been saber rattling about the southern border my entire life and has done little about it. It's useful as a wedge issue though, so from time to time, you'll see some spending a lot of money on walls and towers that just aren't very effective (and maybe callously separate some kids form their families).

On the other hand, undocumented people pay billions in taxes, work for cheap and make services (like dining, construction, landscaping, cosmetology, etc.) cheaper. The monied and political classes want to keep this status quo.
> There's nothing stopping students from generating an essay and going over it.

This then comes back to my original point. If they learn the content and rewrite the output, is it really plagiarism?

> Takes just a little effort to avoid this.

That depends entirely on the size of the coursework.

> That's never going to happen. Probably because it doesn't make any sense. What's a change in writing style ? Who's measuring that ? And why is that an indicator of cheating ?

This entire article and all the conversations that followed are about using writing styles to spot plagiarism. It’s not a new concept nor a claim I made up.

So if you don’t agree with this premise then it’s a little late in the thread to be raising that disagreement.

> Training is not necessary in any technical sense. A decent sample of your writing in the context is more than good enough. Probably most cheaters wouldn't bother but some certainly would.

I think you’d need a larger corpus than the average cheater would be bothered to do. But I will admit I could be waaay off in my estimations of this.
It's a tax but for some reason making it separate from the normal tax system makes it harder for the government to force political views on it... even though the government could easily pass a law saying "the board of directors of the BBC shall go to jail unless all reporting favours the Tories"
It is a problem if you want welfare and government health care programs. An influx of unskilled hungry huddled masses that don’t even pay into the tax system will drag everyone’s living standards down.

Even if they DO pay taxes it is likely that on average illegal immigration would burden the social safety net.

And none of this gets into the second order effects of immigrants increasing the supply of labor.
That is an amazingly competent response. Every company should aspire to that kind of depth, if a toy company can manage it.

When I was in college there were professors who were hard but fair, hard and not fair, and just easy.

Profs who were hard but fair never had a problem filling up their classrooms with students who self selected for wanting to learn.

The hard but not fair ones were just assholes IMHO.

The easy ones also had their classes filled up.

My community college had two history profs, one had all essay questions, one had multiple choice. The essay question prof was considered "hard", but so long as your essay justified your position and was well reasoned, you got full credit for the answer.

I hated the multiple choice prof. He gave the entire class his test bank every quarter and you just had to memory hundreds of questions and he'd pick 50 for the test. IMHO it took more time studying because I had to read the book and then memorize a bunch of pointless answers, vs reading the book and understanding what was going on, which I can typically do in the first pass.

Typescript/Python aren't good examples of mainstream adoption of Haskell related ideas. Haskell always has types but has inference. A better example would be Kotlin or Swift style languages, where type inference is much more pervasive than in the past albeit deliberately limited so as to not be as extensive as in Haskell.

It seemed as if you wanted to call it absolute pitch and talk about intervals.

The "perfect" in "perfect pitch" glosses over the messy reality of temperaments. And "perfect" is a pretty strong word in a cannon of exaltent claims about Western classical music. That's what I find interesting.

Or to explain further, providing a synopsis of tonal harmony in response to my comment is another of the sort of things I find anthropologically interesting.

It's felt for a long time to me that MS has been slowly boiling the frog with VSCode - injecting little bits of proprietary/non open source functionality at a time. I want to switch to something else but the community at large for the languages I develop in is pretty centered on VS code (Rust and Typescript mostly), and it's a really good editor. Obviously not helped by Typescript being stewarded by MS too.
The problem is there’s no “they”. Just an underpaid government contractor manning the email inbox, asking around “hey why do the letters say this?” and responding with the bare minimum.

I wouldn't. What I was picturing is that the TV has buttons on its frame (like your monitor).
You can use those to change sources, tweak the image and any other simple "setting" the tv might have.
Those are infrequent enough operations that I don't mind standing up and walking to the TV to do it.

Of course if it did come with a simple remote that'd be fine too. I'm not against a remote.

Runtime errors surface when a program
runs into an unexpected condition or situation
such as dividing by zero, memory overflow, or
addressing a wrong or unauthorized memory
location or device, or when a program tries to
perform an illegitimate or unauthorized operation
or tries to access a library, for example.
The programs must be thoroughly tested for
various types of inputs (valid data sets, invalid
data sets and boundary value data sets) and
conditions to identify these errors. Once identified,
runtime errors are easy to fix.

Embarrassing horseshit.
Looks like it might be this?

"Users named Supermacho, deposit commas in title, but 'fix' is questionable."

Dividing the subject from the verb with a comma--even when the upcoming verb could be confused with a noun--makes it like a stilted old cost-conscious telegram where the STOP isn't being spoken. Ex:

"Egrets, fish for most of their food, say biologists."

It can also create new confusion, like this example of either cramped living arrangements or an immediate television event:

"Florida couple, live in studio, with alligators."

The penalty for not paying the TV license is dealing with their harassment specialists (aka fee collectors)
Well, first they wanted to tax everyone a bit to pay for the BBC. And then someone said that would let the government easily pressure the BBC by withholding funds. And then someone said let's let the BBC collect it's own tax then. And someone else said that would be illegal to make people pay for the BBC if they aren't actually receiving any services from the BBC. And so here we are. So they wrote in this provision that in practice exempts precisely zero people but everyone tries to chase after anyway, contorting themselves through hoops to make it apply.

"Any services from the BBC" means any. TV broadcast, radio broadcast, or internet streaming. And because the actual intention was to make everyone pay, the law is written so you have to pay if you could receive one. If you have a computer and the Internet, you could receive internet streaming.

And then you have more stupid rules, like even though they're collecting a tax, they're not tax collectors so they don't have any authority to come into your house, so they invent weird ways to detect if you have a TV or not.

Presumably a left wing government would remove all this stuff and just make it a tax.

A big reason is that it's quicker and more objective to grade, making the heavy workload of teachers a little easier to shoulder.

I don't completely agree that multiple-choice questions can't test real knowledge. It is possible to write multiple-choice questions that require deep thinking and problem solving to select the correct answer (modulo a 25% chance of getting it right with a guess.)

It's true that MC questions can't evaluate the problem-solving process. You can't see how the student thought or worked through the problem unless you have them write things out. But again, that's a tradeoff with the time it takes to evaluate the students' responses.
