Copyright is long overdue a check but I don’t think AI is going to be what does it somehow. I can see an opportunity for copyright holders to seek retrospective damages for AIs that mimic their work.

This is a pre-/post- Snowden & Schrems, which challenged the primary economic model of the internet as a surveillance machine. All the free money dried up and the happy clapping Barney the Dinosaur Internet was no more!

Just from my own ground based evaluation of the weather this seems pretty self-evident. The hyperbole around it is funny, but all that aside it’s good science and gives me the language and mental model to better understand what I am seeing.

You are bounded by a minimum floor for the hot water. Below a certain point you can get legionnaires. To me it seems like one of two things: external pressure between hot and cold is mismatched so a small change to one side overwhelms the w

The issue is that it’s not “well defined” that it’s somehow subjective. But the whole point with a logarithmic scale is the small values don’t matter.

But the base value is well defined, qualitatively (“a quiet room”), which is fine for what we are talking about which is “experienced loudness”. Once you go past log(3) it really doesn’t matter what the noise was at log(0).

No I’ve never had one of those LOL Pots do log and lin scales but they only have a limited angular range.

That would be dishonest. You don’t adjust input power - you adjust attenuation EDIT if you did let’s say approximate power, or measure and present the consumed power (as some systems do) you would still be in a situation about how to presen

dB for sound in particular aligns with human experience. The (10 -) 1-10 on a volume knob typically aligns with a logarithmic scale because we hear differences in loudness at an order of magnitude. A linear volume knob would be frustratingl

Depending on the jurisdiction you could be saving a whopper amount on taxes. Where I live the service tax could be anything up to 23% and the guys doing the work have to pay income tax. Insurance would also be a factor where I live too. The

Not interested in clicking twitter either but in the name of progress I went there and what I found was a pretty disgusting misuse of the platform. Basically a “hate on Obama” hit piece. Fucking snore. “”” Ever wonder why sedans disappeared

Established debugging tools and logging rubric are not suitable for debugging heavily pipelined code. Stack traces, debuggers rely heavily on line based references which are less useful in this style and can make diagnostic practices feel a

These are all valid criticisms of regex but they’re not an excuse to avoid regex. Similarly git has many warts but there’s no getting around it. Same with CSS If you want to run with the herd though you need to know these things, even enjoy

Advertising isn’t the problem. It’s a natural part of discourse and business. The issue is “dishonesty” and “manipulation” and the tolerance of these. Do we need a way to connect suppliers with consumers? Yes. Do we need an intermediary tha

Pretty standard in jurisdictions where tipping isn’t common, esp for larger groups. Usually noted on the menu but you can always decline if the hardworking minimum wage staff did not meet your satisfaction or if you can’t afford it.

You seem to be saying that because Lithium and Flouride are both naturally occurring minerals, that would make it okay to put Lithium in the water supply. Please go on, the sun is out and I’m enjoying this.

This is a fair point, and in modern times, where we have good public health education it makes more sense to take this approach. However this comes with the weighty caveat that there are public groups that actively agitate against public he
