Is this strictly true?

Suppose you have a reference pixel but don’t know its value. You don’t get the color right but there is plenty of other information there, right? Which pixel also probably limits the range of values since your highest and lowest values are probably within a certain range.

Yes, "abuse of market position" is path dependent.

I recall this occurring with college registration websites ~25 years ago. In retrospect, I suspect it was so students registering online didn't have an advantage over those registering in person (at the time, home internet access was common but nowhere near 100%).

So everything was going great, with some of the best employment and GDP numbers we've ever had, and now suddenly every economic indicator is flashing red. But let's not ignore the elephant in the room: That the President and his administration is behaving erratically, scaring the free world, breaking with 75 years of foreign policy, threatening abusive tariffs, threatening people's livelihoods and ability to stay working in this country. And let's not ignore the fact that the most damaging 3 things you can introduce to an economy are: Political instability, a harmful Fiscal Policy, and Tariffs.

If Plaintiffs were able to pursue a statutory damage theory predicated on the number of direct infringers per work, Defendants’ damages could reach into the trillions. See Dkt Entry No. 461 (“Thousands (or even millions) of uploads and downloads occurred across disparate users.”) 3 As Defendants note, Plaintiffs are suggesting an award that is “more money than the entire music recording industry has made since Edison’s invention of the phonograph in 1877.”

> One of my theories is that Java actually has so much sprawl is because how good the IDEs were for Java

Not sure what came first - chicken or the egg - on that one, but I remember years ago discussing vim vs an IDE for writing code with workmates. We were writing PHP and I used a plain text editor at first then moved to an IDE, while the older devs stuck to vim. I pointed out that they probably couldn't do that if we were writing Java.
In my experience if something isn't working in firefox, it's more likely that it's firefox antitracking setting much more often than ublock. You might try turning that off first.

You've immediately assumed that by "diverse perspectives" I mean controversial perspectives.

Personally, I enjoy reading about world news, hearing about TV shows I might want to watch that aren't in my language. I enjoy reading cross-language puns and seeing photos of food I don't usually eat. I enjoy seeing people who don't worry about the things I worry about.

If you don't want those things, if you don't want to know what's going on outside, then that's up to you, but I think that's a sad way to live life.
I understand. My point is that, if one of our founding principles is that government overreach should be defended against and thus constrained--a principle that guides our Constitution and is enshrined in the Bill of Rights--it really shouldn't matter whom it's protecting. Fenceposts don't move when a horse tries to get through instead of a cow.

To be fair, the Court did not hold that aliens aren't protected by the Constitution. It avoided the question by holding that the aliens' activities weren't protected, and that Fifth Amendment protections are different (and less stringent) for civil process than for criminal process.
Heh, sometimes you feel pressed between “but it’s just a default” and “who uses settings anyway”. Because the first group is blind and deaf to network effects of a default and the second to the fact that workflows and preferences differ.
there most certainly are absolutes. theres an absolute maximum amount of distance a massive object can travel through spacetime. theres an absolute maximum amount of mass/energy that can exist within a volume of space before an event horizon forms. universal constants which have dimensions are more or less measurable absolutes. differences maybe more apparent but that doesnt mean absolutes dont exist.

My comment is directly responsive to yours (and you now have triplicate threads where you're repeatedly challenging why): under all circumstances the Crown's response was inadequate, and disputing the anecdote about the Crown allegedly pressuring the Sultan to reduce his donation is an unnecessary sidebar to reaching that exact conclusion.

Further I showed you an independent piece of corroboration about whether the Sultan had to donate in secret, so it's absolutely not single-sourced to "one anecdote forty lears later by the Sultan's son."

Here's more corroboration by Drogheda people (and former President McAleese) that the Ottoman famine relief ships did in fact land in Drogheda (and inexplicably, not Dublin): https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/ireland-remembers-how-19th-c...
Since there is zero reason to waste time sailing urgently-needed food aid ships north past Dublin to a smaller port (Drogheda) from which it would take longer to distribute, that raises the obvious question why they did that. Go look at any map of Ireland to verify that, instead of mocking that.
Is it really that much worse today? When I was a kid, my great aunt died of skin cancer. She was a Christian Scientist and rejected medical treatment in favour of prayer.

As a teenager, I remember being annoyed that the newspapers had positive articles on the rejuvenating properties of nonsense like cupping and reiki. At least a few of my friends' parents had healing crystals.

People have always believed in whatever nonsense they want to believe.

You can apply it topically - look for magnesium oil sprays, these are usually just concentrated magnesium chloride. Works well too, gets absorbed systemically totally bypassing digestion, only side effect is oily skin.

Reportedly, excess amounts over what the body can handle wouldn't get topically absorbed (unlike orally) and leave a white residue and that's how you'd know you've had enough - but I never had that happen to me personally.
Huh. Guess Preston Rhinelander from Scrooged was onto something.

> McDonald’s consumers remain pressured, particularly low-income diners and families. The restaurant is hoping that a better tech-enabled experience will help it deliver on its goal of growing its loyalty patrons from 175 million to 250 million by 2027

> [..]

> AI will be able to help McDonald’s tailor its promotions and offers by using customer data such as prior purchasing history, and even linking it with weather data, Rice said. “A customer who we know loves our sweet treats could get an offer through the app for a McFlurry on a hot summer day,” he said.

So the pitch is that McDonald's franchises will use AI-driven deals to entice families who can no longer afford the 40% higher prices.

Just to clarify, we all have the right to the work. We just choose to grant author’s and businesses a time of exclusivity in owning it.

Mickey Mouse from 1928 is back in our hands. In whatever year Song of the South goes into public domain, Disney cannot stop its distribution.

Pedantic I know, but it’s important to remember that copyright isn’t an inalienable right. It’s one that we decided to give authors and then decided to give to businesses.
I agree.

For my home machines, I have a jail lan where nothing can get out. If there's a need, I have a proxy and can let specific things out to specific places.

After setting that up, my quality of life became SO much better.

It's too bad the status quo for tech is basically "everything gets out". I think people should be able to do this easily. Maybe AI can coach "normal" people through this kind of thing.

Claude gave me the confidence to setup a router using the relatively obscure VyOS network stack. It was a lot of back and forth. The syntax has changed quite a bit between versions and Claude kept giving me out of date code. I would reply with the error message and snippets of the current documentation and it would try again. Things eventually worked. Perhaps it was a bit of a "stone soup" situation, but I would not have attempted the project without the assistance of an LLM.
This kind of thinking is what got us where we are.
I love internet concepts like this. Just silly fun experiments. This one appears to exclude anyone in a relationship in almost every US timezone.
yaml sucks to work with as it is. i work with k8s day in and out. this to me seems like a bad idea taking away the programmability with a tightened structure. For beginners who can't write shell scripts well, this may seem promising. Cool concept though. just not very practical imo.

You know tech savvy was not really a thing back then for the everyday uneducated person, right? You kind of had to have been a geek to have known this stuff. There are a number of dead-simple cloud solutions today, but you cannot just scold, say, WB for not using a company cloud back in checks Wikipedia 1993!
I know it is several days, but Europe and Australia have given up their foreign policy independence in return being part of US defense umbrella. Western Europe and Australia will toe the US line pretty much always, even if it is against the detriment of their own citizens and countries.

This Munich security conference is a wake-up call for EU in many ways. The speeches by JD Vance and Jeffery Sachs were both shocking in different ways. The reason you are telling US to sod off now, is primarily because you want to return to the old ways of pre-Trump. Europe really likes the NATO security umbrella and the money from US. When the old ways are threatened, you are screaming to return to the old ways. I am not seeing a Europe that is saying we will be independent. I am seeing an Europe that desperately wants a return to the predicable security umbrella.
Brave has a native adblocker that lets basically nothing through, though it can be configured as desired. Crypto stuff is opt-in, though there is a little monochrome button for it on the browser that one can disable with a right click.
A few issues.

First, there are countless other ways to get Europe to rearm if that was actually the goal. Russia's position at the moment is virtually the same as it was a few months into the invasion, which is strong enough that european powers are scared of escalation but not strong enough that anyone thinks an unprovoked Russian attack on NATO territory is either imminent or inevitable. Making Russia weaker to lower fears of retaliation or letting Russia steam-roll Ukraine would both seem like they would better motivate Europe to quickly rearm instead of pressuring for a ceasefire.

Second, it is not at all clear that was the goal. Note that this is extremely against America's interests. As the major supplier of arms to Europe, America wielded tremendous influence over Europe (as evidenced by TFA) while at the same time ensuring Europe was well armed with weapons that would be easily compatible with the US's own military so that they could be readily called as allies. Europe replacing American systems with others does not mean Europe will be militarily stronger, it only means they will not be reliant on the US for what strength they have.

Third, there is no reason to believe that Europe would not feel compelled to build up military capability against China for exactly the same reason the US does. Nor is there any reason to believe China is too smart not to play into America's hands while Russia apparently is. Further, the US doesn't need Europe to rearm for a war with China - even with massive investment, Europe is not going to have the force projection capabilities to support a total war in the Pacific theater, what America really needs is a coalition of economic allies which will side with it in containing China - a need that is not at all served by antagonizing those very allies.

That's not to say any of your assumptions can't be true, just that it's a lot more assumptions than just "the current American leadership is not working to advance the American hegemony."
He will probably get fined by not reaching his fake news quota.

I thought the recent news that McDonald's is no longer the largest fast food chain on the planet by number of locations was more interesting. Dethroned by a China's Mixue bubble tea franchise.
I think thats a rather distorted take. This research shows the medieval warming period may have root causes in ocean currents and shows population studies of sea life to back it up.

The current models for climate focus on CO2 and cannot explain the medieval warming period.

The argument I throw is that this may be true, but it does not invalidate AGW, it only says there are other sources of warming, than CO2. It does not mean all warmings are because of Ocean current movements, or are unrelated to CO2 or anthropogenic pressures. It does not invalidate climate models which cannot explain the medieval warm period, it simply shows another potential source of warming at that time. Of course the question of why the currents shifted has to be asked. And in like sense, the question about the strength of current day ocean currents has to be asked. But there is no necessary nexus for why they changed then, and why they change now. On the other hand, the component of change over time which does track rise in global CO2 and other effects is large. I believe as others do, compellingly large.

I don't see how that fits your Analogy.
I’m also trying to figure out how AI is revolutionizing the business by selling cold treats on a hot day when people did that in the analog era. That seems like it would be a lot more compelling if it found some non-obvious connections.

Contrasting a BYD Blade prismatic cell and Tesla 4680 cylindrical cell
This interesting study analyzes the similarities and differences between battery cells from BYD and Tesla. At a high level it describes the cells this way:

> BYD uses a large prismatic cell format, while the Tesla 4680 cell is a large cylindrical cell with a significantly lower volume

It looks like the Tesla cells have higher energy density:

> Comparing the cells on the cell level, the energy density of the Tesla 4680 cell outperforms that of the BYD Blade cell by margins of 1.5× gravimetrically and 1.8× volumetrically

But the BYD cell has better cooling and is more suited to fast charging:

> Thus, when designing a system with the same power requirements, the cooling needed for the Tesla 4680 cells must dissipate approximately 2× more heat per volume than that needed for the BYD cell at the same load. Therefore, the LFP electrode design is more favorable for designing a cooling strategy for fast charging.
A clever idea. Has anyone tried it?

There may have been individuals within the British citizenry who independently did the best moral actions they could in the circumstances, but there's documented evidence that the political body at large and their leadership at best did not care an iota for an any and all deaths in the Irish due to the consequences of their leadership, or at worst actively hoped and planned for the deaths to remove an inconvenient people.
