Does it do any architecture-specific processing, i.e. BCJ filter? Or is there a generic version of this? The performance seems quite good.

Not even limited trials with a long window of study (how long?) will prevent this. Science itself is a non-holistic way of looking at the world, blind to what is not measured. Concerning this example, it seems like a predictable effect of pesticides and global trade -- not unexpected, though perhaps not hoped for. Instead, the principle of caution must be applied when using technology. Pesticides that increase yield or decrease risk by only 10% may not be necessary at all.

Any industrial action will disrupt Earth's equilibriums given the high level of consumption those in the developed world currently enjoy.

This is interesting, but I'm guessing most of the effect is due to the novelty of the "robot". Most kids have probably seen a tablet before, and not this.

It seems like it'd be possible to have a separate recovery key stored by the company in addition to the regular password.

Amazon (amazon.com side)'s revenue depends on consumer behavior. If marijuana use in the general population is thought to change consumer behavior in their favor, then they would be foolish not to support it. This effect probably outweighs any worker productivity issues that might be introduced.

Use has been correlated with increased impulsive behavior: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4330120/

My point is that there might be unconscious biases at play in parents, no matter what they might respond to a survey. It's not feasible for parents to account for 100% of their behavior when it comes to something as unimportant as this. IMO, this is something that just can't be determined scientifically.

That survey result has very little to do with the assertion that there is such a social pressure. All it implies is that respondents think it would be nice if there were.

Yep, the fact that this question is even being asked shows that flawed assumptions have been made.

We don't even have to get into the nature/nurture debate: It's possible that your daughter learned to play baby dolls by watching and imitating her mother. This counts as socialization according to these nature/nurture studies, but ...

To attempt to take away the human being from society, from parents, etc., and find out what this human being would do outside of human society is an act of extreme cruelty, because human beings cannot grow up and function in total isolation. This is why, although science can be applied to specific biological processes such as reflexes, it will never be able to describe a person or a person's behavior. This is why psychology and sociology are considered "soft sciences".

If there's a cellular radio. it has to be declared to the FCC. You can look up your TV's FCC ID to verify that it doesn't have one. I'm not aware of any TV that has an embedded cellular radio.

Not GNOME itself, but Gnome Display Manager:

Newer cars disable the passenger airbag if the weight of the occupant is less than a certain threshold (65 lbs according to https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2018/Civic%20S...).

If you use a browser with a Reader mode, it often works to enable Reader mode and then refresh the page.

I had the CamScanner app on my iPhone for quite some time, then uninstalled when I launched it and saw (IIRC) Chinese text appear. I'm assuming that ownership changed around that time, and if the Android and iOS apps have the same owner, I wouldn't trust it either.

An iOS trojan would have slightly more limited impact, but if (for example) you gave the app "Access to your Photos" in order to save something, the app would still be able to read all of your photos and potentially send them back to home base as it chooses.

I disagree with the point about fonts. Computer Modern or similar will look much more professional than the listed modern fonts, in my opinion.

You're assuming that the distribution is uniform, but I think it's likely that the majority of Americans do not know anybody who was shot, while a (still decent-sized) minority know several.

18 is a good age to begin the transition from being dependent on parents to bearing responsibilities themselves. Keeping the kids in the house too much longer than that can make it more difficult for them to adapt.

When you are elderly, who will take care of you?

> In addition, my children WILL NOT be living at home until they are 30 ...

I agree with you here -- independence is the ideal. But for reasons beyond the individual's control this is not always possible: misfortune, ill health, age. The community has a responsibility to take care of those within it who are struck by these things.

The saints are people who followed the principles of the religion. It's disingenuous to suggest that the actions of those who flouted Christianity's principles and rules should be allowed to define it.

> mixing emotional arguments with world views on the nature of existence is likely to annoy others

Perhaps, but the moral framework you cite as a benefit of religion is inextricably tied with a particular view on the nature of existence. People are far more likely to follow rules if they make sense.

If you are working 10-12 hours a day, expand your job search to locations which involve a 1-2 hour commute each way. (Assumption: you can find something that only involves 8 hours of work per day.) It will suck, but it will still be better than your current situation. You may be able to WFH some or move house sometime later.

If you haven't seen it yet, this video might lend an interesting counterpoint to your "all metaphor" perspective, it has a discussion from Jonathan and Matthieu Pageau who claim "there are no metaphors in the Bible". It tends to fit better with a more traditional/orthodox Christian view.

This is what Tor does, I believe. The problem with spoofing the fingerprint is that all the features that allow you to be fingerprinted are features that are in use by some site or another, so it would break compatibility.

Although social media might be the wrong thing to take aim at, I would argue that rising expectations for standard of living definitely have helped to reduce the amount of (relatively, but not ridiculously, wealthy) couples who wish to have kids. Narcissism tends to drive the expected standard of living, whether exploited through advertisements or broadcast through social media itself.

I certainly appreciate the work of youtube-dl developers, but (in order to test it out) I was just able to go to the YouTube page, open the network request log on my browser, and pick out the particular URLs (one for video, one for audio) the content is downloaded from, just from the MIME types displayed. Then I was able to replay those requests (using Copy as cURL), removing the range argument, in order to download the video and audio to my machine, in an easily-playable format. (From there, nearly any video conversion software could combine video and audio into one container.)

That's a far cry from having to pick out those segments from the memory of my browser as it runs.

Edit: I may have misread your comment, apologies if I misunderstood.

That's ridiculous, YouTube videos are trivial to download.

Really? Which apps have issues? I'm an SE user and I can't say I've experienced any problems that seem like screen size issues.

I've been adding the bang at the end of the string for years, and you can even add it in the middle:

    hacker news !g
    hacker news!g
    hacker !g news
    hacker!g news

all work.

Depends on what standards you judge by, and whether you use it responsibly or not. It's hard to talk about "technology" as a whole, but I would say it has definitely made our lives easier (not necessarily better or worse).
