No, that is not what the hospital does, and thus based on this heuristic, it is not its purpose. What a system does is not the same as the context-free outcome. It is the outcome compared to the outcome that could be expected without the sy

People often have trouble with this saying, and that trouble often boils down to the difference between intent and purpose. The people who create a system have some intent for it. The system may or may not effectively achieve that intent, m

Scammers can definitely get through it faster than you can. Whenever you attempt to address abuse in a system by increasing the complexity of that system, you implicitly bias it towards those with the time and inclination to study it, which

One thing that I think is demonstrated in the Safari "file" menu, the most common things you might need under that menu* have icons, which means you can scan to them very quickly. * Note here that most common things you need under

The real lesson here is that almost all modern SaaS applications have massively under invested in customer support in order to appear more profitable or sustainable than they really are. One of the major factors behind LLM development is tr

I am actually not sure that this is an example of bias, at least not in the direction that you seem to be implying. Though I appreciate your strong connection to the subject, the purpose of the Wikipedia page for a topic is not to advocate,

I think that framing this as hopeless, and perpetuating the idea the government cannot operate efficiently, is a part of the problem. If a system is created to provide a service, it makes sense that said system would consider its existence

The phrase does not mean that you can pick any single effect of a system and claim that is its purpose, as your linked article does in its examples. (Ironically, a form of reducto as absurdum.) It is a heuristic, a pattern of thought to att

Twice I have had listings for companies or organizations I was associated with get phone numbers added to their listings in Google Maps automatically. In both cases, it was worse than this: the numbers were people in the same industry, but

Numbers of cases, deaths, and how those numbers are tabulated are factual data. We can argue over the data quality, but at this point we have data from many independent countries' health services. Our view of these facts has gotten bet

You are of course correct that fact checking is not sufficient to protect us from all the ways that a journalistic work could mislead. But it does help when they are based on lies. As in the article this discussion is happening under. It he

I mostly don't use Numbers for very much because it's not easy to share and collaborate. Everyone has Excel. Everyone has Sheets. That said, I routinely use it as a first step in converting CSV and other text based delimited data.

Because - and _ break text selection in existing systems you do not have control over, if you use those characters your ids will become harder to select.

This is not a significant change, the trend still clearly shows an increase since the low in 2009.

So in order to not see ads, I must outbid companies who want to show me ads against my wishes. And like any protection scheme, being willing to pay makes you a bigger target. This is why adblockers are the only moral choice.

This is an uncharitable reading of the comment. "Retrieve via email" can just as well be understood as reset using an email flow, as is common on most websites. And the comment does not claim they rely on fingerprints never changi

It might interest you to look up income and social mobility rankings. In short, you are much more likely to build generational wealth in the Nordics.

You mean "moreso in NYC", right, as NYC is 59th out of the largest 100 cities when ranked by descending violent crime rate.

That is not an issue with the analysis as a whole, and indeed he addresses several of those points. It is an issue only with the excess deaths statistic. The data we have so far does not show a correlation between lockdowns and GDP, and ten

The 20 years leading up to 2004 the average was > 6 million square km. 2012 was 3.4. 2020 was 3.8. In the context of the previous average, that does seem close. What was your point?

This is not true where I live. The cheapest electric cars here are only about 20% more than the cheapest entry level cars, and loans have better terms for electric, making the monthly cost almost the same. I am not sure how true it is in Ca

Apple does not need to be a white knight who does no wrong anywhere for me to make the informed choice that I prefer their policies in my current country at the current time, nor for me to choose not to be tracked. I don't think anyone

The first target seems reasonable, as an extension of the current ZEV percentage trend. Setting targets also helps alleviate market uncertainty around large transitions like this. The state is taking steps to develop and expand charging inf

The people who have obviously made their preferences clear that they prefer not to be profiled and tracked that way, because the possibility is still there for those who consent to tracking.
