The UK food standards authority says there are more people in hospital because of improved detection.

Jesus fucking Christ, pre Johnson this would be a resigning issue, now it's just business as usual.

Is buddy really a problem?

I'd be more worried that someone thinks I'm treating them like a dog, than a man.

It would just encourage people to create sock puppet moderators.

Same problems as without those rules, just harder to spot.

It's still an interesting question. Why was this a civil case rather than criminal?

And there's no great answers. Basically a lot of it comes down to civil being easier to win and a safer bet than criminal proceedings.

Honestly, most of what Cambridge analytica did was blackmail, illegal spending, and collusion between campaigns that were legally required to be separate.

Much of the data processing/ml was intended as a smoke screen to distract from the big stuff that was known to work and consequently legislated against. The problem is that they were so incompetent that the distraction technique was also illegal.

Maybe the machine learning also worked, but it's really not clear.

It's the plural form.

One axis, two axes.

Why is this the first step and not any of the other things that have been around for years?

We have logic reasoning in the form of prolog, bots that are fun to play against in computer games, computers that can win in chess and go against the best players in the world, and computer vision is starting to be useful.

Well this is it. What really enforces the policy is rejecting commits that break user space.

Now if you've got a large enough group of devs, rejecting commits is fine, but if you've only got a small group you need everyone to be working productively, and you can see why Linus ended up giving angry feedback about commits that were wasting everyone's time.

It's half this, and half an explicit policy "we do not break user space". Together it meant that if you did anything that screwed up the user space you got told about it at length.

Now Linux culture is established enough that it only really needs the policy, and not the cussing people out to enforce it.

Famous email about it here: https://linuxreviews.org/WE_DO_NOT_BREAK_USERSPACE

There's a particular joy to going all the way into the office so you can sit in remote meetings all day. Really makes you feel like your time is valued.

The take-home is that the US immigration procedure is so inhumane that even the fucking Cato institute thinks it's a bit much.

Lots of the cheap Chinese watches Xiaomi, amazfit etc do a rectangular face. Rectangular lets you use standard screens and is cheaper and easier to get.

So for most people royal mail is not particularly competitive for parcels.

They're great for letters, and if you live somewhere that's hard to get to they are often the only option for parcels. But for most people, most deliveries from Amazon etc won't come via them. Instead they'll come via much cheaper and crappier private companies.

That's for two reasons. 1. Because royal mail has to deliver everywhere for a similar price, the prices for easy destinations are more expensive and subsidize people living in hard to reach locations. 2. They pay their staff an actual salary rather than per package delivered.

So you have a parcel operation that can't make money because it is stuck with uniform pricing across the country, and a letter business which used to make money but is slowly dying.

Same. I would take it now, so I could go back to being 20, but this time I would not fuck up all my joints because I know I'm not actually invulnerable.

It's a great starting point for any English word hierarchy.

But if it kills everyone, it can be fair.

Dev jobs and data scientists often get a lot of leeway.

Very big tech companies tend to be more open to it. When I was at AWS their threat model was basically to treat every end user device as untrusted, which then meant that they didn't rely on keeping laptops locked down for security.

More generally any personal data obtained from a third party. E.g. if you're generating a credit score you might contact someone else with a record of financial transactions.

• Every individual state has the right to determine who can run for president in their state (this would be a complete clusterfuck but very funny to watch if you're not American).
• Separation of powers. This is an ambitious growth in the courts powers in determining who can be in the executive branch. They need a motion from the legislature to confirm that they have this ability.

I honestly believe that conservatives on the supreme court are going to look for a way not to rule on it. The legal case for insurrection is straightforward, and they're going to want to just make it someone else's problem.
