That is incorrect. Without the DMCA, the company running a site is liable for everything on the site if it does any moderation at all, and they wouldn't just be ordered to remove content, the financial penalties would be massive. Yes,

"Law and Order" often had the police going after the wrong suspect or even arresting the wrong person and having them figure it out later, sometimes not until after the wrong person was put on trial.

My wife developed type 1 diabetes as an adult (40s) from an autoimmune disease (it attacked her thyroid as well). At first her pancreas still had a bit of function left, which made things even harder because there would be unknown random ex

I was so close, solved three and was down to two choices for the fourth (I knew four letters but there were two words and I guessed the wrong one). I used grep to help with the searching.

This is exactly right: if Reddit ever decided to build a search engine they'd wind up destroying their site, because everyone would try to game the results and fill Reddit with crap to do it. The point it is that search engines are adv

Yep. I don't think people over 40 are more enthusiastic about Zuck's metaverse than the under-40s, probably less if anything.

Regarding the UI comments: I first visited the sited on my phone, and for Android or iPhone users the interface is intuitive, the obvious thing works. But on the desktop it is weird. So this is a reversal of what we used to see, where sites

Long ago when I worked on real-time digital signal processing I did have to worry about DRAM discharge timing because the board I was using had a non-maskable interrupt to do the RAM refresh, and this limited the rate at which I could acces

The reason we know that neutrinos aren't massless is that they oscillate between neutrino types. A massless particle must always travel at c, so it doesn't experience time, so it can't decay or change into another particle.

Yes, lots of people died in rural areas and were buried without ever getting near a doctor in the Delta wave, so they weren't recorded.

by not2b 5y ago
Except that the timing for reporting cases and deaths often varies considerably on weekends, which is why it is better to look at 7 day moving averages to smooth out that noise.

If people blockade an important international crossing or trying to deny access to government buildings I expect that the authorities will promptly clear it, even if they are doing it in the name of a cause I support. Yes, BLM sometimes blo

A "protest" that prevents people from crossing a border or shuts down a city isn't a protest. It is hostage-taking. The US First amendment has some good language on this: the people have a right to peaceably assemble, and to

BLM protesters have been promptly arrested when they blocked streets or failed to disperse when the police ordered it, often rather violently. If these protesters want to get the same treatment BLM protesters got, they may well regret it.

You saw it in the 70s because that's when there was an effort (later abandoned) to convert the US to metric.

by not2b 5y ago
The Carter administration attempted to start a full transition to metric in the late 1970s. When Reagan took power this was killed and no one attempted to revive it, because it was turned into a nationalist thing, one of those things Republ

Apple really is asking for trouble here. First off, they say that in order to get out of the requirement that everyone give Apple 30% of income, they say that those using an alternative payment method still must give Apple 27% of income. Th

American antitrust laws were originally written to protect competitors as well as consumers, and to limit corporate power, but during the 80s the laws were re-interpreted (largely because of Robert Bork's writings) to greatly restrict

Note that as of now there is no paywall, going to the old URL forwards to the new URL and game history is kept (my streak is 38 days now), and the small number of removed words doesn't affect gameplay. Perhaps it makes sense for addict

There's no evidence from this article that the idea space is decreasing. Vocabulary is becoming somewhat more similar: the measurement is on individual words. Suppose an institution decides that the faculty is using overly obscure lang

The second and third graphs aren't zero-based, which exaggerates the effect. Also, the author may be over-interpreting the result: it's odd that very different fields are showing roughly the same change in cosine difference, and i

Than Hilbert? No. Riemann, perhaps. Making it work was all about the proper non-Euclidean geometry. Einstein needed to learn the right mathematics.

Lorentz and Poincare were very important in the development of special relativity. This article is about general relativity. For general relativity there's a good argument that David Hilbert deserves more credit.

Not sure why people are bragging about that (this is the second such comment I saw). You could already solve in on the desktop and then "solve in 1" on your phone, of course.
