You seem to be confusing profit with revenue. You can sell a bunch of stuff and not make a profit.

> The Fourth Amendment, for example, protects more narrowly against search in the context of criminal prosecution: no prosecution, no rights violation. How can that be true, since the 4th amendment doesn't include any word or phrase

That would mean that the volume of gas trapped in a mask is 42% of lung capacity? Seems extremely implausible to me.

by kadoban 4y ago
Since the volume of gas trapped by a mask is miniscule compared to the lungs, I wonder if it even matters. Might be better to just try to measure blood concentrations.

I think you know, but just to be clear: this one isn't T9, it's something IMO much better. I've used the keyboard they based this on and it's easily the best input method available on a phone once you learn it.

Since there's very little way to verify that, permissions are a better metric. This was especially true before Google basically neutered permissions.

We know ways that worked a few times and failed many thousands of times more often. How many buildings of the same type didn't survive? If your goal is to use a method that has _any_ chance of success, however small, then the old ways

Many, many similar buildings did not last though. It's quite possible that if you want a newly built structure to last that long with the highest probability, you should pick new materials.

Yeah, they used the obviously bad model that each state's results are independent rolls of the dice. Which, flawed models can still be useful, but I seem to recall them being pretty arrogant about their prediction in 2016 too, before t

You do not have to dig far _at all_ on 538 to find that info. They prominently display the distribution of their results.

> If you don't water your grass daily when it's over 90 F / 32 C, then it will die. This is just completely untrue. Many places water ~biweekly in the summer and the grass is green as hell. Also, in monsoon season it rains

Republicans have made trans people the target of their newest culture war. They're pushing to ban gender-affirming care, usually focusing on minors but some of the bans are for people up to age 26, and they're making noise about r

Depends on the time of year. For maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the year, most of winter and anywhere near monsoon season, your grass will grow regardless of if you water it or not.

They at least have a very reduced ability to hurt anyone, to the point where most of the moral arguments seem like a _big_ stretch. Some random guy who's just vaguely unpleasant to be around is almost certainly damaging society more th

> From a morality perspective, how is the death penalty materially different than using lethal force in a war? Very few of the moral arguments in favor of killing people in war time have anything to do with killing people for punishment.

It's more likely MS responding to Elon tearing down their API and making their site worse. It's not worth their time or money, I'd bet that that API integration helps Twitter more than it helps MS.

Just the DMCA I think, which criminalizes the creation of tools to break copyright (with all of the obvious problems that prohibition entails).

Sure, but the key is how they think about the cheating part. A sports fan will on average kind of vaguely deny it, but if real proof comes out it just becomes something they don't talk about or they'll pass blame around as much as

Two reasons: Because this is malicious compliance by websites. They are attempting to annoy people into clicking the easiest button, which is always the "store all my data, spam me at will" button. And then the second is: browsers

How does this train of thought apply to something like AlphaZero? There, computation/time seems to be spent creating data. Why can't the same thing in concept apply here?

They can do far more than ask nicely. At a minimum, they can get a warrant and/or use provisions of the Patriot Act and similar. And for this it's likely warranted. Even discussing this in the future tense is a bit weird, there&#x

You say that like it's ridiculous, but is it? Seems pretty reasonable if a large nation wants to know where nukes are, or if a smaller one _really_ wants to know. Spies and satellite monitoring might be cheaper, but less reliable.

I suppose I've never tried. Maybe it just requires some practice.
