It's a bit tricky, since "this call may be recorded" often is played only to you before connecting to the other person, so technically this announcement was not made to them.

The meaningful boundary between small data and large data is the difference whether the whole dataset/processing is expected to fit in the RAM of a single common machine. From that perspective, 1 billion rows a borderline case, which c

This is a good example of accessibility tradeoff - it obviously was needed to make the solution accessible and usable for that 20%, but in the process it made it worse for at least some of the 80%..

Sure, but in the parent example it's more like a 2k-3k license, which makes sense only if you're going to use it regularly.

No, the news industry isn't still getting money same as before - the total ad revenue the industry is getting has significantly decreased. Newspaper ad revenue has simply collapsed ( https://www.pewresearch.org/short-rea

All of what you write is in support of the parent post suggestion "why don’t publishers stop using doubleclick and build their own?" - the larger margin Google is taking (no matter how) between advertisers and publishers, the bett

I'm not a lawyer and the proper answer is likely state-dependent, but why not? It's well established that with an appropriate warrant, LEO have always been able to come into your house without telling you and add hidden surveillan

These are the luxury villas of the super-rich Romans, in the best-resort-close-to-Rome where they'd live while they didn't need to be in Rome for political reasons. They definitely could afford the "A team".

The point I'm hearing in the parent post is more like that many of the state actors using such attacks against domestic targets actually may be legally allowed to do so, if they have passed laws which permit their own security services

It may be relevant that 'fruit of the poisonous tree' is not a general law principle but rather a doctrine specific to modern U.S. law, established only in early 20th century as a specific interpretation of the 4th amendment to th

In the current world an "email address" is not solely (or sometimes even primarily) for delivering email, but rather an identity or username for various systems, such as for signing git commits. So a key linked to an identity (ema

A key difference from your examples is that the enemy doesn't have the capability to simply (and risk-free) send an arbitrary number of bullets at your soldiers' hearts or RPG rounds at your vehicles; the major "cost of deliv

The issue is that these costs of handling cash are largely fixed - marginally, if your store takes $100 in cash, your cash-handling expenses and effort stay the same, but if you take $100 by card, your fees directly increase. You avoid the

The premise isn't really accurate - "clean air" is a local phenomenon, not a resource that gets spent or that we run out of; and furthermore, breathing doesn't consume clean air, so it's irrelevant how many people t

Such a person would be still paying that tax indirectly as it would be funded by any payments for the "land they use" e.g. housing rent would be directly influenced by that land tax, just as the prices of services (rent can often

Sure, but it also doesn't make it necessary or useful to implement booting from that port - booting from a port IMHO is not a feature that Apple wants to offer to its target audience at all, so it's sufficient if some repair techn

Do you think that NIMBY factor won't apply when replacing this bridge? And are you really certain that "replacing a bridge" can't or won't turn into building some tunnels during the process, as some people are alr

Major infrastructure projects everywhere tend to be both late and wildly over budget, but the point is that in USA the initially budgeted cost (which is optimistic and doesn't get met) is outlandishly expensive even when compared to th

Would it make sense to explicitly implement conservation of energy? I.e. do a simple method but calculate the total energy at the beginning, and at each step adjust the speeds (e.g. proportionally) so that the total energy matches the initi

But you don't need "most of the researchers" or relocating them, nor you need legal data - with sufficient money and hardware, if North Korea or any other country puts a bunch of median CS grad-students to the task, they can

Not really - "arguing over where to draw the line" would be a discussion about how a hypothetical new law should treat model weights; however, assertions about whether they are a derivative work (or even "work" as such,

Well, sure, one thing is that the absolute numbers do increase, so for any given notion of "good enough", every device at some point will reach the level where it will be able to run it.

I really doubt it. "Tomorrow" your desktop computer might be twice powerful but at the same time the "good model of tomorrow" will be four or ten times larger - I'd expect that the gap between what can be done local

The robot arm would still have to be mounted on a truck, wouldn't it? It's not like it will be half a mile long and just reach over the whole field. Also, robot arms can be a quite expensive way of doing things; I saw a prototype

You can do tab-separated "CSV" and it'll be much better, avoid the quoting and delimiter issues that somehow trip up something half the time, and pretty much all these tools have always supported that format as well.

Meta is free to charge money and/or run ads, but what it can't do is do mass tracking of EU people unless they somehow really want to and freely opt in to that. Charging for an ad-free experience is fine, but charging so that you
