You're absolutely correct about the presence of listings. I agree with your skepticism towards describing this as anything more than a one-off bad copyright flagging on eBay AU. That being said, the event does warrant attention to ch

The answer is, yes, a small third-party used listing was removed by eBay. The fact that large retailers are recirculating used Pis has no bearing on what makes this intriguing (see my reply). The open question is whether this is part of

Pure speculation, but it's more difficult to fingerprint device users when buying used. Linux is obviously more protective of privacy, as is the entropy of having many near-identical setups.

In 2016, there was furor regarding third party data analytics. The $5 billion FTC fine was ostensibly about protecting user privacy. It can be seen here as a fine for inadequate exercise of data authority: Facebook was letting outsiders s

A better metric for text difficulty might be mean tf-idf. Essentially the average "rareness" of each word used. This topic is fun to analyze, but it's not really aligned with the objective of a political debate. Simple words

Both performance and power usage are physically functions of transistor density. Assuming the apples-to-apples comparison of similar transistor counts, operating TDPs, and processor designs.

Thanks for the links. I know little on the topic. It may be a while before a litigious content owner identifies their work as having contributed to another generated one. I have yet to see in-your-face examples being monetized. From a te

Every time evidence leans the author towards "viruses might come from space", I find myself leaning the other way. My general view is that cellular life and viruses mutualistically co-evolved from life-like junk at the very beginn

I list the low-hanging fruit first: Look up nerve flossing exercises on YouTube. Routinely doing these had the largest impact for me. You'll feel the ones that work on whatever nerve is inflamed. Try to improve your posture. My gene

This study was done on anesthetized rodents. In conversation I've heard support for sleeping on one's side (laterally). This doesn't suit me physically. My shoulders are too wide. I twist into horrible positions and hurt t

This article misses an actual definition of Big O. This forces us to skip crucial points like why O(n^2) truly identically equals O(n^2/2 + 5n). The author instead seems to think they are approximately the same because the lower orde

Why would a physicist embrace superdeterminism? Present science holds the falsifiability of a theory as a necessity for its utility. Under the light of SD every experimental result may be impossible to interpret as supportive of a theory.

Non-commercial vacuum cleaners are acoustically engineered to be loud for this reason. Other examples of intentional loudening include the opening of car doors and aluminum beverage cans. I suspect that the loud "powerful" noise

Elders' need for care may have burdened the success of their living descendants. In this sense we may have evolved to die. A counterargument is that past generations lived too rarely to the point of natural death ("Intrinsic senes

I don't fear machine analysis draining the life of literature. Its limit would simply be a functioning similar to a human's. Rather than algorithmic analysis, we'd lump it with literary criticism. Here the computer's per
