For my use case, I ended up converting the PDF to a single png image and then use Amazon Textract on it. This allows me to easily convert pdf tables into csv files all from within php. Would love to find a cheaper (local) option vs AWS, but this works.
I marvel at how small they are. Why not add 20, 100, or 1000 more mirrors to JWT? Or launch 10 more of these and go full interferometry? Maybe I've just been playing to much Dyson Sphere Program, but it feels to me that NASA et al are committing the cardinal sin of making the production loop too small.
"...Any other use of it is a criminal act, which endangers the social order by violating the private security of every citizen,"
I hear this in a deep and booming Orwellian voice. What specific danger does this put anyone in? I certainly can see the owners of capital being upset when their workers find out how egregious the disparity of income is, but outside of that?
I observe the same behavior in react-simple-wysiwyg. It is possible to paste html content that "escapes" the editor. Meanwhile, there appears to be NO WAY to view the content in a text editor or even code editor like PHPstorm.
To clarify: I'm in Ubuntu and the problem seems to be more strongly pronounced when copying from Chrome. eg: There's a website that uses Modals to display profiles. When pasting from that profile copied from Chrome, summernote will display a modal that covers the whole screen. But when pasting the profile copied from within Firefox, the contents of the summernote box stay contained.
Same goes for fish, which I just read in the excellent book "Why Fish Don't Exist" by Lulu Miller. An example being that a lungfish has more attributes similar to a cow than to a salmon.
Just ask them. This algo uses survey results for its input anyway, so why not just ask people directly? I find the notion of "predicting suicidal thoughts" to be overreaching and struggle to stay off of the slippery slope of thinking how dangerous such a thing could be institutionally.
There's a normed and valid survey that asks the question already. OQ Measures' YOQ 2.0 Youth Questionnaire is widely used in behavioral health programs. Answers to these questions are combined to form a sub scale score that a professional may use in implementing feedback informed treatment.
Q21. I have hurt myself on purpose (for example, cut, scratched, or attempted suicide).
Q41. I think about suicide or feel I would be better off dead.
This just seems like punishing the poor, very much like fines for speeding. "Rich" people get the freedom to do and say what they wish, but the poor must sit still and only convey favorable opinions.
We replaced a $15 land line with a $1,100 iphone and got multitudinous other benefits. Replacing human centric habitation space with human+robot centric spaces seems like it would have similar outsized benefits. For example, maybe dishes never need to be cleaned by water if you have a robot willing to manually scrub them for 8 hours. Indeed, maybe your robo chef can also sterilize the "counter" so you just eat right off of it.
I noticed this same behavior when sending a validation code link via SMS. Had to insert a "Verify Code" button landing page to prevent whatever link-sniffing was happening.
This statement is something of a revelation to me: "One quote from each side isn't an equal treatment of both sides, it's a biased treatment towards the side with less to say."
I'd like to dive deeper into this, can you recommend any resources?
If you just made it up, then yeah, I very much agree. "There's no evidence for this" will always struggle to measure up against "romantic notion\fallacy\charisma for thing reader wants to be true"
It seems like this and parent intriguing comments are both skirting(?) the importance of -context- in the debate over "money" vs "better world".
People from all walks of life may choose one or the other based on their status,philosophy,etc. Overall though, I think the ability to choose "better world" comes from a more privileged place, which might make the "crate full of money" enable a more people to choose "better world" more frequently.
Been using twilio for over 4 years. 300-500 sms per day. Never a single issue, I don't recal having to adjust code in a few years. Couldn't be happier.
I confess I was thrown off by "autoimmunity" as I thought it would be a GOOD thing, my reasoning being that an "Autoimmune Disorder" is a bad thing. But I was wrong! I am happy to have learned this new thing today, which is:
"Autoimmunity is the system of immune responses of an organism against its own healthy cells, tissues and other body normal constituents."
"By the way, a question for progressives: If equity consists in making human beings equal to one another, why is it just or reasonable to rank them?"
Seems like a professor of government at Harvard would be well versed in False Equivalence... (To be clear, I propose that treating people with equal dignity\respect is NOT the same as choosing your preferred representatives in order of preference)
To the rest of the article, I struggle mightily with her first point (roughly, that a voter only REALLY wants their first choice). I don't know about everyone else, but I have never encountered a candidate that perfectly reflects my wishes and would positively relish the ability to indicate a second-best.
Bummer: the Neutragena Ultra Sheer is the ONLY sunscreen some of us in our household will use regularly. The slather-on feels gross and other sprays have that dry-cracked feeling.
I guess "too good to be true" applies to sunscreen too.
I couldn't agree more.
Anecdote: I have been waiting for 2 weeks for insurance to "approve" an angiogram + interventiin that two cardiologists agree that I need immediately. I am a single 43yo male on a $1,000\mo insurance plan.("reduced" to "only" $550\mo by coverer california).
If I ever manage to get powerful and\or wealthy, I will task myself with fighting the scourge that is the insurance cabals tooth and nail.
I heartily agree with the premise, and there's this compounding problem:
"To make matters worse, the owner's insurance policy didn't cover comprehensive claims from road debris..."
So when you combine these two issues, you end up with an unwritten, mob-boss-esque command of something like "Buy the most expensive insurance for all of your expensive widgets so that you can (maybe) be covered in the event that something minor happens"
I wonder if it has something to do with the brackets. [safe] looks wrong to me (like a placeholder, or a word that was auto-replaced by a spyware detector).
Because yeah, nothing seems to be amiss in the ad. Sorry to see you so poorly treated by the tech giants.
Imagine being in your 80s or 90s and being called by someone your daughter paid $100\mo to call you because they couldn't be bothered to spend 10 minutes of their precious time to do it themselves.
Then please explain why they ask for your elderly loved one's phone and email before payment. This is a scam (or RIPE for scamming), and I truly hope you and yours don't get duped (and feel loved!)
Another potential red flag attribute I've witnessed is shifting of the idea deliverablee\objectives after the green light is given. A partner I once had developed a pretty great idea we decided to execute on after 20+ hours of planning. He started proposing entirely new (follow-up) ideas mere hours into our execution. Then started morphing the original plan. 1 week later he was dropping idea bombs left and right. I finally delivered something close to the original plan and he spent the next 2 months slowly backing out of the project entirely, having put in less than 10% of the effort.
This is the thoughtful and thorough post I wish I had made in my original comment. The efficiency of sending so much more robotic stuff seems as if it would certainly outweigh the benefits of "I'm just going to quickly get a sample".
I agree with the cool-factor of having people on mars. And with that said: for this specific task, we could get remote robots to do this task with zero threat to well educated, trained, and physically fit human life. People on mars would be AMAZING... and, NOT having people on mars is amazing too: it gives us such a great moment where "Hey, we NEED to solve this with technology.", and I see that leading to benefits across the board.
Owning music is made much more difficult now that the ability to use it has been greatly diminished. Many new cars don't even come with CD players. Sure, there are work arounds, but I think that moves us beyond a measure of "convenience".
I'm curious how many animals are slaughtered strictly to feed people's desire to feed carnivorous pets. And if "extra" animals are raised, what is the climate cost?
Anecdotal: my tight group of 12 tech-unsavvy friends very trepedatiously migrated to Signal after the terms update and I said I'm bailing on WhatsApp whether you're coming with me or not. As soon as the group came over, I got tons of "wow, I like Signal better!". Then the outage happened and I was worried, but everyone stayed and I strongly doubt will go back. Though some do keep WhatsApp for other friends, I think our litte migration will actually cascade into more.
A 5/8" x 8' copper grounding rod is $14 at Home Depot; 3\4 x 10 is $33. I'm very confused on how the extra $100 would meaningfully affect the project in either time or BOM.
