Paralysis is usually due to the signals not getting to the muscles for some reason, like a broken wire. Obviously if that is the case then putting the sensor on the muscle isn't going to work, you need to attach it at the brain end. Unfortunately the brain is rather complex and has a large amount of I/O, so it's much harder to do it that way.
In my experience at least 50% of the difficulty level of a particular subject is down to how well it is taught. I think a lot of people assume they are bad at something when in fact they have just had bad teachers.
The problem is that if someone commercialized this and sold it to non-technical people, the various companies running those apps would take steps to break it. Just like they did the last time someone tried to build a commercial, multi-network chat client.
The real problem is the unwillingness to say no. Recruiter emails me, asks for a Skype chat. I can either install Skype, make an account and chat about that job I want, or I can tell them I don't have Skype and the reasons why I don't want to install it or make an account and ask if they can use something else... And that something else is going to have to be an unpopular open source system that respects my privacy, or what is the point, so chances are they won't have it and now I'm asking them to install software and make an account...
It reminds me of the early days of mobile phones, when you couldn't call other networks. As I recall we didn't have unrestricted, low cost cross-network messaging until it was demanded by regulators with the threat of legislation to back them up.
I disabled voicemail on my number. I realized that the only people who ever leave messages are recruiters who didn't read the bit I wrote about not calling me during work hours. Everyone else texts or emails. All having a voicemail box does is generate spam texts asking me to call it.
I've been trying to imagine what a society where identities are disposable would be like. On the internet it's easy to change your identity, you just create a new account. Bans are basically impossible, all they can do it make it slightly harder but never impossible to generate a new identity and carry on using the service.
The benefit of being able to change your identity at any time is that you can move on from mistakes, or reputation bombing, or keep different parts of your life (work, politics, family) separate. There has been a lot of talk about how politics should not result in you losing your job lately, for example.
That would mean that punishments would have to be temporary and only affect one identity. At the moment, even after you come out of jail your criminal record follows you around, so we would have to change our idea of what prison is - a place for rehabilitation, that you come out of when you are no longer a danger to society.
Of course generating a new identity has its down sides. You start with no reputation, no credit history, and people who know you remember your previous incarnations.
I think it's worth speculating about, if only to better understand how poorly we manage identity now.
The point is that someone will be marking your homework and publicly shaming you in front of the class if you don't do a good job.
The Paris Agreement puts in place a framework for monitoring progress. More importantly, it says "the whole world thinks this is a problem", which strengthens politician's cases for doing things domestically. For example, it could be used to justify setting up a fund to invest in clean tech, and then you get Tesla and a nice profit out of it.
There should be a "Not informative" moderation. The Paris Agreement was a self-commitment of all signing countries to limit the increase in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius until the year 2100. Not more, nothing less.
Your post may be in need of that tag...
The Paris Agreement also committed signatories to setting ever increasing goals, which would then be monitored and those failing to set adequate goals or to meet them would be named and shamed. That's actually really important, because it gives politicians political capital to get things done.
It also laid the groundwork to get the various mitigation trading schemes linked up, so that things are not double counted. That's now happening, and will both prevent the systems being abused and make them more effective.
Paris also establishes standards for measuring progress, which must be scientifically rigorous and will be independently monitored.
You might not think much of this, but the practical effects are undeniable. China is pushing really hard and exceeding its quite ambitious goals. The EU is pushing quite hard too, and using it as a catalyst for change. Don't make excuses for the US not doing its bit.
It's kind of appalling that the US is only willing to do anything if it is forced to with punishments for failure beyond just naming and shaming.
I think people misunderstand what Paris was about, what it managed to do. The idea was to build political capital for governments to implement climate change reduction. Responsible countries have done that, setting goals and often exceeding them. China and many EU countries are leading the way, and profiting from it too. There is a massive boom in renewable, clean energy at a time when the US is trying to build up coal again.
By not joining the PCCA the US has screwed itself. Screwed itself out of an opportunity to create jobs and technology, screwed itself out of trade that will instead go to countries which are helping each other meet their environmental commitments. If a company can buy a part from the US or from Germany, but the German one has a smaller CO2 footprint and this the final product will too, which has various benefits like tax breaks and lower environmental levies, which one are they going to pick?
Of course, in reality many US companies will be forced to adopt things like RoHS 2 regardless of what the US government does, or lose a lot of sales.
It's extremely useful. If you see this file with contact details, you know that you have a legal defense if they try to sue you for pointing out their crap security.
It's interesting how little the media companies understand this. They seem to think that because it used to work that way, people will now pay for multiple streaming services.
What actually happens is people save a huge amount of money and make up their minds not to pay that much again.
That's clearly not true. If your boss frequently complains about n!ggers, do you really think you will get a fair shot at a promotion? Do you really think the other people who need to please the boss to get a raise will treat you well?
Censorship is absolutely the right thing in that case. Fire the boss, censor that word at work.
Nothing. Nothing at all. You can go install it right now in a few taps.
You are demanding that the library stock the book you want to read, that you want others to read. You want that book on their shelves because that increases the chances of it being read.
To be fair to Gab, they have not been banning people since opening the sign up process. Back when it was invite only, when well known left leaving Twitter users asked them for invites they just blocked them.
So fair enough to Gab, they do seem to have reformed and stuck to their principles since leaving beta.
The issue seems to be that because it was easy for the delivery company to accommodate the religious requirements they should have. In the case of the bakery didn't argue that the burden would be undue, merely that they didn't want to do it because of the message.
It could certainly do with some clarification, rather than two separate and seemingly (but not actually) contradictory outcomes.

What exactly was the content of your advert? It's hard to judge where the problem lies without knowing how effective your pitch was.
Can we teach people to repel state level attacks on our internet infrastructure?
Like GCHQ before, it's weird when these agencies act like they weren't caught breaking the law on an unprecedented scale.
If they care about security it helps them. If they don't, it's absence warns people to do anonymous disclosure.

That's a great point. With on-demand streaming you don't need to have more channels to ensure something good is always available.
This is why the Pirate Bay is so important. It's the only thing keeping them even half way honest.
Imagine music sales without Napster. Singles that cost â0.70 would be â4.99 each.

Who the fuck are Gab to tell Google how to run their app store?
What is stopping you from installing the app?
Nothing. Nothing at all. You can go install it right now in a few taps.
You are demanding that the library stock the book you want to read, that you want others to read. You want that book on their shelves because that increases the chances of it being read.
You are demanding to be furnished with a soapbox.

The requirement is not "does not have X on the site", it's "has a policy of not allowing X".
Twitter's ToS does not allow such this. Even if they suck at enforcing that, the policy exists. Gab specifically allows it.

I don't think that's it. They love the drama, it's all part of the victim narrative they are trying to spin. "Conservative" views under attack.
Chrome allows direct installation from web sites. I recently installed F-Droid that way, for example.
Why hasn't she been fired then? Maybe she warned them and the bean counters decided it wasn't worth it.
We simply don't know, and speculation is pointless.
