One big difference is that LiveJournal, Inc. weren't a parasitic company who sought to embrace addiction and analyzing the hell out of their users with algorithms. They had every chance to because the data about interests and friends were just as open as they are on other services - perhaps even more so - but they didn't.

I can't speak for the other big companies of the time, like MySpace and Xanga, because I never used them.
Gawker went bankrupt, because a public figure who felt that he was outed failed to win a lawsuit against them, so bankrolled someone else's lawsuit, with many questions unanswered.

Public figure, because Courts have ruled that billionaires are public figures due to their "outsized influence on government and public policy".

Outed by Gawker, despite his social media at the time regularly featuring photos of him shirtless on gay cruises. Good for him, but "outed" was a bit of a stretch.

I have many issues, not with Hogan's lawsuit, but Thiel's bankrolling of it:

Hogan had already reached a tentative deal with Gawker, including a percentage of profits and partial ownership.

When Thiel's paying the bills, and some of attorneys are in his full-time employ, whose interests are actually primary in their mind, versus whose should be?

After his lawyers became involved, Hogan then asked for 5,000 times more, including damages that are pretty hard to account for:

Economic losses (financial loss, to be clear, NOT "emotional distreess", which they asked for separately) of $50M due to the damage of the videos release being publicized (because Gawker didn't release it, someone else did, and Hogan had settled with them for 1/1000th of what he wanted from Gawker)...

Hogan's career earnings were $15M, and his net worth at its highest was $30M, and at the time of the lawsuit, $8M. Wrestlemania would typically pay about $150K. Obviously Hogan has endorsements, but I would love to see how the fifty million number was arrived at... endorsements for hair products, and WWF reruns?

The reason I asked about lawyers and motives, because after all this was settled, Hogan/Thiel's lawyers told him to drop just one of the claims, specifically the one that would have had Gawker's insurance pay out...

... in other words, having had a deal for part ownership of the company, Hogan threw that away and asked for far more in questionable damages, and then when awarded them, then dropped the only claim that would actually have allowed him to see any real portion of those damages.

I wonder how much Thiel paid Hogan under the table. And I thought a tenet of law / justice was being able to face your accuser, not to have them launch/finance puppet lawsuits against you.
They are. Once you make a graph, you can do something like tap on one of the values in the equation and do a gesture to change the value and the graph will update live.

My wild guess is seasickness. It's not supposed to happen to astronauts due to training and such, thus perhaps the unwillingness to say who. But tight quarters, seas were rough. You get the other astronauts checked out also just in case. I really don't have evidence for this though beyond wild speculation.
Where does he say they don’t know what happened? He said they’re piecing things together, i.e. they’re still working on their story.
Humans have had tremendous evolutionary pressure to develop excellent 3D visualization abilities. Humans have had exactly ZERO evolutionary pressure to develop 4D visualization abilities. If someone claimed to be able to visualize 4D the exact same as they can visualize 3D I wouldn't believe them. Maybe there are some kind of tests that could be done to prove it?
I owe my entire career to the high school internship I had in the IT department at Cyrix in Richardson, circa 1996. It was awesome. Learned everything about building PCs for employees and Windows networking. So much free hardware walked out the door -- usually stuff that was slightly out of date, just stacks of it everywhere. Spent the next three summers there through college too. It was really exciting there at that time, Internet age just taking off. They had beer at 4PM on Fridays out back.

Everything went downhill with the series of acquisitions. Anyway, I'm grateful for my time there... I can trace where I am now directly back to the guy who first gave me a chance there.
Actually LoRa uses chirps designed for iiuc partially analog demodulation to be very energy-efficient.

For hiding you'd be able to use actual DSSS with e.g. AES encrypting a suitably fine grained clock piggybacking on GPS as a time reference, keyed by a shared secret.
Then just hone in with e.g. a Costas loop like a GPS receiver does to it's satellites (where the sequence is sourced from a simple clocked logic circuit that's cheap and offers better than random spreading gain at the cost of being cryptographically useless) and demodulate the payload the same way.

You could start off at GPS synchronous sequence generator timing, and slowly shift it at increasing delay until lock in is archived or an implausibly long implied travel distance (signal loss!) is reached (then you can give up and start over, go to sleep and try later, etc.).
Or by finding them in one of the lists of largest known primes. :-)

Oh, dear, could you be more ignorant?

> In addition, nearly eight out of ten women who used contraception said they had experienced two or more side effects.

literally first result

> Overall, one quarter of females who are using contraception are not using their preferred method. The leading reason for this is concern about side effects, a theme that comes up in many aspects of contraceptive care. Almost one-third of contraceptive users (31%) say they are experiencing side effects from their current method, and just over half (52%) say the side effects are more severe than they expected.

literally second result

> In the KFF survey, about a third of women using contraception said they currently experienced side effects such as weight gain, headaches, bloating, nausea, mood changes, and menstrual changes. While these issues are usually not severe enough to be medically concerning, they can have a significant impact on quality of life. Studies show that many women who stop using birth control do so because of side effects.

And on and on.
BitNet a4.8: 4-bit Activations for 1-bit LLMs
The potential consequences of a driver's mistake are ~20x greater than a cyclist's in a city environment. Do cyclists make 20x more mistakes than drivers to make up for that?

So indeed, drivers complaining about cyclists is a joke. In the event of any sort of a collision with a car at all it's the cyclist that loses. Always.
That has to be the correct reading.

Sorry, but there's nothing about the NASA space program which has a "deal" to be transparent with the tax payer.

From being involved with high altitude spy planes and stealth planes during the Cold war through to thinking about the many satellites that are put into space that relates to national security and even the clandestine space plane, we have no idea what it's for...

There is simply no precedent to be upset about a lack of transparency from NASA. Some of that is national security. Some of that is to protect IP. Some of it is just because of the way governments work.

Factor in that actually it may relate to a private company's operational issue (SpaceX) there's even less reason for transparency.

That's a silly false choice, there's no reason to restrict either. Trams (nor ambulances) are not killing cyclists at notable rates.

I missed this - body language experts the world over will tell you that body language is culturally and individually unique.

Some people share similar body language for displaying certain emotions, but they are not universal.

Further you may be able to tell what some people are feeling by their body language, but there will be many many more examples where you miss the emotion.

Worse, the ones that you can get an idea of, it's very VERY rare for you to know the reason that people are in that emotive state.

edit:

This even applies to people close to you, who you think that you know.
Yes there is. It is called a social contract.
Been there, done that (forged signature on comparatively minor court documents). The lady behind the desk spent a half hour apparently not understanding how there could be a signature on that piece of paper if it wasn't mine, and all said and done the few hundred dollars the court was extorting me for were far cheaper than trying to fight it.

For prison or something, I'd hope the forged signature would be contestable for the average person, but I'm not optimistic.

I'm afraid that in this country that the desire to convict and see justice/retribution served on perpetrators is much stronger than the fear of convicting and even executing innocent people. And I think police deception is a strong cause of false convictions.
I can sideload .apks just fine on the current version of Android. I don't know if you can still grab the .apks from the Play store or not, because I haven't tried that in years, but you don't have to get your apps from the Play store.

I don't think that's relevant to MarkusWandel's question anyway because he was asking about what to do if you don't have access to Google's ecosystem, which would include the Play store.

If Google does do something to prevent sideloading, it would just mean you'd have to install a de-googled Android to restore that functionality. That's a bigger hassle, but not the end of the world.
"…and easier to just buy meth and reintroduce the hydroxyl group to get my cold medicine."

Damn stupid isn't it? I'd be funny if it weren't serious.

What's more most of these sympathomimetic amines are both simple organic molecules, and in numbers/types they're a dime-a-dozen so to speak—there are hundreds of them. Any number of which can be altered or 'metamorphosed' into others that have different physiological and psychological effects by almost any competent chemist.

I'm certainly not advocating the use of meth but it's clear to me that the regulations that control the distribution and use of these amines are not working. Essentially, all these brute-force/unsophisticated laws have done is to inconvenience legitimate users and have drug barons streamline the production of more efficient precursors such as phenylacetone (P2P).

We really do need a better way of approaching the problem. For instance, many drug users turn to illicit amines and other street drugs to overcome medical and psychological problems. It would make sense to have these people identified and then be treated by the health system before they turn to the street to 'help' them. Moreover, I'd reckon it'd be much cheaper than the millions now spent on enforcement.

Trouble is moral panic and an almost complete lack of understanding by both lawmakers and law enforcement of the problem and its underlying causes is significantly impeding progress.

A lot. Mostly zone 2 running but also quite a bit of hill work and some rucking. An occasional mountain bike ride if/when friends ask and I can make it work. Some swimming in the summer. And I walk a lot, like 15k steps daily on top of the running.

Specifically, I follow the Tactical Barbell hybrid training system. Most of my training these days can be lifted directly out of the Tactical Barbell Green Protocol book, but I also incorporate training from the original Tactical Barbell strength book, the conditioning book, the Mass Protocol book, and the Ageless Athlete book.

Long ago, as a member of Pumping Station One in Chicago, I had a fellow member cut out a series of 0.1" fingers spaced on 0.2" centers, and stuck them on a long piece of aluminum stock, and was able to use a Harbor Freight caliper to read the aluminum as a scale without further modification. It really doesn't take much more than an accurate set of interdigital electrodes to make a working scale.
