I think the parent poster is trying to make the point that it's unreasonable to ask people to pay attention. In any case the fault is most certainly not merely marketing, it's a fundamental design flaw. You cannot expect peop

Sounds like it's actually unclear: https://www.datenschutz.org/dsgvo-abmahnung/ Sounds to me like it's not in general permitted (but with a huge exemption), but is possibly permitted to the extent that fa

Exactly; that's the point. An opt in that is coercive is not a valid grounds for holding personal data, ergo, that data is held illegally and subject to enforcement by a data-protection authority. Doesn't matter if everyone clicke

It may be the German implementation is different in this regard, but IIRC the GDPR did not create a personal right; enforcement is solely at the discretion of the relevant authority. I thought that was intentional; as a way to limit frivolo

It's already happening, but slowly, slowly. The various agencies need time to get their act together, and have started with the most egregious excesses. It seems rather unlikely at this point that consent forms that apply inappropria

My impression: it's still easier than a rewrite. People always underestimate a rewrite, because they only consider the complexity they can think of, which is generally only the tip of the iceberg. I've been on projects where eve

To further underline what you're saying is both true and OK; once they started doing that, death tallies started at least getting close to excess deaths, although (IIRC, and I might have misremembered) despite diagnosing covid without

If you look at the graphs side-by side for areas with clearly defined peaks (I looked at MA, NY, Italy, Spain, UK, Netherlands) the peak fatality rate is no more than a week behind peak case numbers, and perhaps less. Testing rates in at l

by emn13 6y ago
On number 2: that makes a lot of sense; yet in places that have had peaks (e.g. new york, italy, UK, spain) the peak observed fatality moment is barely shifted vs. the peak positive testing moment - maybe more like a week or so, normally? I

Oh definitely. We've never lived in an ideal anything ;-). Yet much of the assumptions about how capitalism will allocate resources efficiently rest on exactly the kind of properties we don't follow and are following increasingl

by emn13 6y ago
I think we can look at this differently; the problem isn't necessarily capitalism; it's that we don't live in a society that follows classically ideal capitalist dynamics anymore. In a healthy capitalist system, you'd ha

As to question (b): the wavelength is not the same. The red primaries in most color spaces, including wide-ish stuff like DCI-P3 is around 615. Even Rec 2020 is just 630. https://clarkvision.com/articles/color-spaces&#

In a sense though - that's what we should have been expecting all along. Particle physics may have had surprises for the experts along the way, but what it did not have are hidden ways to use those newly discovered particles withou

Well, depending on how hard you look and what the false negative rate is like, bayesian reasoning would like to differ. You know what I love about the internet? You think something like this, and you just know somebody's looked into

Also, the character model's hands+feet commonly clipped the walls slightly, and sometimes had that odd sliding motion in which the overall limb seems approximately stationary with respect to the surface they're touching, but the a

If we were to outlaw NDA's and dramatically beef up whistleblower protections for corporate whistleblowers, that might work. But those are wildly implausible proposals! And while people are bad at keeping nefarious conspiracies secre

The point of a warrant is the independent audit. As long as that's enforced, it being at least partially in retrospect shouldn't be a problem; the issue being how you would give that teeth in a way that's both not absurdly d

Also, it's extremely hard to account for all kinds of biases and systematic errors in a meta-analysis. I'd take most meta-analyses, even by renowned statiticians, very, very skeptically. Teasing out small effects from samples

Well, given the time constraints, and the fact that the previous paper was had a much weaker setup yet claimed efficacy, I think this paper is a good idea. Incidentally, it's not the only such paper; a chinese analysis from the early

It's not completely impossible, but it's considered unlikely; people are sometimes tested post mortem (it's simply not a general policy), and people are usually tested before it gets that far. cite: https://www.

So there's an intrinsic cost to abstractions: namely that by using an abstraction, you're not specializing to the optimal extent possible; your general-purpose algorithm may well be close to ideal, but various details will not be;

No; that's just you picking an absurd example rather than being practical. Pick a reasonable domain for each input field, considering what kind of input is useful, and what kind of usage in output (i.e. plain text output is likely much

The solution: don't try to reproduce input exactly. That's a weird thing to want in general anyhow - what exactly are reproducing so exactly? Text? Including Markup? How about some animation thrown in? Maybe Interactivity? Hey,

My personal experience would point to knuth being in essence right on at least one point: The obsession with code reuse is truly unwise; re-editable code is much more important. That's not to say reuse doesn't have it's plac

Having multiple almost identical ways of achieving things is a bug magnet in programming languages. Differing programmers will presumably use different styles (why else even support differences?), and if you mix code like that, bugs ensue.

Search and replace is a pretty reasonable way to delete a quote; lot's of editor UI's make that much more convenient than finding the end of some blob of text you just pasted into some pre-existing context.

IANAL, so honest question - is that actually true? Is it legal to sell a license to a public domain work? Is it OK to fail to tell the person you're signing the contract with that they don't need it? That's sort of like me
