To add to this: once the suspects are picked up, they will likely be given a long rap sheet and the potential for very long prison sentences. After a consultation with their lawyers and at some future date, the insurrectionists will likely be given plea deals in exchange for 'flipping' on other suspected co-insurrectionists. These deals will depend on the information and testimony quality they can provide. The networks built by social media and police work are likely to be exploited by prosecutors to build cases against the suspected insurrectionists that will result in long sentences for many people. Combined with ample digital evidence, the cases are likely to be very tough to beat.

Just curious, is there any reason MS/SIE console (AMD custom SoC) won't implement hardware RAD decoder? From what I read from this submission, their codec is good and used everywhere so it looks like it's better to have HW decoder.

/ko͞o/

noun

1. a sudden, violent, and illegal
seizure of power from a government.

Sudden? Sure. Violent? Yes but on the lower end of the spectrum of human conflict. One person got shot by the police, one died of a heart attack, the rest had ‘medical emergencies’. (Edit: An officer died after being attacked by one of the rioters.)

The part I’m not understanding is where was the attempt to seize power?

Electric cars seem to be viable, so it's really only interesting for planes right now.
Bean-counting may well have been a contributor to that incompetence.

Doesn't NOT donating 10% of your salary to Alzheimer foundation diminish the liberty of others to live a long and happy life?

> But my impression is this decision has been too hard to defend, since it would necessarily mean more deaths in risk groups while the vaccination campaign is ongoing.

You may be right about their motivation, but it does not follow that it would necessarily increase deaths in high-risk groups. To become infected you must first be both susceptible and exposed.

I think there was a clear argument for reserving vaccine doses for high-risk groups when those populations were totally naive to the virus. At this point, though, the marginal returns on the population susceptible-exposed product (i.e. infections) are so low, focusing on targeting the most likely community spreaders--regardless of age or individual risk profile--might have an even greater impact on mortality in high-risk groups.

Vaccinating yourself lowers your susceptibility to infection. Vaccinating others lowers your probability of exposure to the virus. It's not super clear exactly where the best trade-off lies, but I think at this point we need to focus on reducing incidence in the entire community.
Just another case of causal inversion.

Google's state of mind is irrelevant to the issues here. Whether its employees thought what they were doing was fair use or not just isn't part of the law.
The relevant standard is:

> There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of [the right to respect for private and family life] except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

Therefore, the court must determine if the interference is necessary in a democratic society to determine if it is permissible under the ECHR or not. Per paragraph 273 of the decision[1]:

> An interference will be considered "necessary in a democratic society" for the achievement of a legitimate aim if it answers a "pressing social need" and, in particular, if the reasons adduced by the national authorities to justify it are "relevant and sufficient" and if it is proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued.

> The Convention system has a fundamentally subsidiary role. The national authorities have direct democratic legitimation in so far as the protection of human rights is concerned and, by reason of their direct and continuous contact with the vital forces of their countries, they are in principle better placed than an international court to evaluate local needs and conditions.

If you know SICP, I think it's a good example of a textbook with nice problems. My math textbook in French education system were to a similar level of quality. The first two problems were usually to make sure you understood the basic of the chapter, but the others were much harder or opened new perspectives, or used very different context. It was a real pleasure to read the textbook and the problems.
There's also this article: [The Reykjavik Confessions – The mystery of why six people admitted roles in two murders - when they couldn't remember anything about the crimes.](http://www.bbc.com/news/special/2014/newsspec_7617/index.htm...)

I feel like the author completely ignores the simplest answer to wether or not it's ok to call their uncle. Just use the exact same process they would use now. Instead of "It's that time for him" he would think "It's the time of day for him that corresponds to that time for me" but that's all that would change.
I don't have time now to go over this in detail, but again, you're not communicating things to me clearly.

No, it's no argument, it's an attempt to give you the right intuition. It is what's true, and I'm trying to help you visualise it.

Not when you've worked for sufficiently long with these things. As you work with them - not just learn the definitions and a few standard proofs - you start to gain an intuition for what's really going on. People are trying to help you gain that intuition by telling you these things, and you're simply rejecting it and arguing from your existing intuition.

My intuition isn't just based on a few facts, it's based on working with these things for years, and the intuition developed.

And the cardinality of the reals isn't just "a bit bigger". Cantor's standard proof may have left you with that feeling, but go back to the proof I gave earlier. Start with a countable collection of reals. The standard diagonal argument gives you one that's missing. Now look at just how many ways you can generate new reals from that one list. You can take the first from the second and the second fromthe first, 3rd from 4th and 4th from 3rd, etc. In fact, any permutation of the infinite list (with certain restrictions as to hitting everything) gives you missing elements.

It's not just "a slippery bit bigger" (a term for which you have given me no efinition and no intuition), it's enormously bigger.

The one intuition you come back to is the "in between" bit. Again I give you the example of the evens. Surely since between every pair of even numbers there's an integer, that means there must be more integers? No, it doesn't, and it's just like that.

You say that because there are infinitely many rationals between each pair of reals then there must be a similar number of reals (ok, maybe "a slippery bit more"). Well, no, that's not true. It just isn't like that.

In short, your existing intuition is leading you astray, you haven't worked enough with the infinities and their applications to develop an appropriate intuition, and you're rejecting every attempt to help you gain the right intuition.

So I'll stop there until you can help me understand your problem better.
Without meaning to bust your chops: this is exactly why the first thing you do for any new project should be creating a repository somewhere other than the machine where you are doing the work (on Github, your VPS, wherever).

Many generic computer repair services will not do data recovery because of the amount of time it takes and the liability of data loss. Dedicated data recovery services are typically expensive, for both reasons. Happily, you can frequently get all or most of it back.

One self-help option, depending on how severe the failure is, is booting from a live CD. If you can successfully mount the drive (i.e. something is preventing it from booting rather than totally making it unreadable), then you can often get all or most of the data off to another drive with just a simple copy.
It is a bit more important than that. The Constitutional function of the monarch is to occupy the position of the head of state so the PM can't have it. The Americans have what they call "checks and balances". This is ours. The PM cannot say to the police, go and arrest the head of the opposition, because the police don't actually report to him - they report to the Queen. Same with the Army, the civil service, etc.

The last government did their very best to politicize these services, and I don't know exactly what she should have done, but the Queen's job, her only mission, is to prevent that happening.
My favorite tips for avoiding distraction online:

1) Understand that load times, when constantly browsing, are a huge source of "jumps". When a page takes along time to load, I jump to a different task. Use this knowledge appropriately.

2) Bulk load. Any time I can use one area/task to the maximum in terms of time used, I should. Starting is one of the hardest things to do, so if I have the ability to write four blog posts or code for 10 hours straight or research vehemently, I do so for as many tasks as I can, not just one. Break it down, then spread it out to as many other tasks as that one interface allows.
> The intention is to encourage you to add type annotations to your entire Lua codebase.

We definitely like to encourage the use of types (we <3 types!), but, just to clarify, Teal does support hybrid Lua/Teal codebases well, by use of definition files a la TypeScript. The Teal compiler itself is currently a "main program" written in Lua and the "core compiler" written in Teal. :)

> A Typed Lua 2.0, if you want to call it that way.

please don't, people are already confused as is. :)

(For those not well-versed in Lua history like Hugo and me :), "Typed Lua" was an earlier academic project, which had different design criteria such as being able to type check unannotated "idiomatic" Lua, which made it a much more interesting research project and a much more difficult industrial one — Teal is very pragmatic, with the intention of being immediately usable but no intention of being academically interesting, more in the TypeScript mindset.

For sure! There are some exciting possibilities there!
A big part of reparability is how readily available parts are. Using commodity parts available to anyone really helps with this, and so hopefully for parts like the battery module and the screen, they are off the shelf items. It sounds like the team at Framework have that in mind, so I am hopeful.

Also, this is a very small niche, but it would be rad if down the line they came out with a ruggedized chassis upgrade. A repairable laptop that can be used in the field? That would be a dream.
Very cool! Did others in the company appreciate the benefits of repairable hardware?

Also, $50,000 sounds like a lot of money. Was that price considered giving it away?

> Get the machine that suits _you_. Unless you want to run Apple OS because then you're not given choice.

And that is exactly the point. I used to be a very happy customer of multiple Macbook Pros over almost a decade. Currently, I am still using my 2015 Macbook Pro 15" with maxed out specs when not in my home office. But all the later models went downhill for my needs. The new Macbook Air M1 is the first model that I am thinking about buying. It is probably powerful enough to work on it, and I think I actually get some value back from the saved spaced due to dropped ports. Even the 2015" Macbook Pros with 15" are at a thickness were I simply see no point to remove even half a milli-meter of thickness. I would gladly use a thicker, heavier variant if it had multiple different ports including Ethernet. One problem that I had over the time with all Thunderbolt dongles was that the physical connection became unreliable over time. That is hassle I don't want to deal with.
This is great and depressing at the same time...

"Haskell has no side effects" is true, but only in the sense that they are no longer side effects but simply "effects" as they are marked a such.

The idea isn't to get rid of effects but to quarantine them, separate them from simple functions into "procedures". This means you get to have real functions in Haskell, and they truly are easier to compose together than what other languages call "functions" but are actually procedures.

As for concurrency, Haskell is really in a unique spot, where you can get the performance of threads and the simplicity of processes: the immutability of everything not explicitly created for inter-thread communication gives you the same safety of IPC, but the shared memory gives you threads' performance.

I think the benefits outlined on the page may not be specific to web development, but they definitely apply to it too.

These kind of issues lead to the development of aspect-oriented programming, which is an attempt to better match our intuition about how things in reality behave in a compositional manner.
I've had a lot more success with this tactic in small businesses than I have with large. It's really easy to go to an owner operator and express PC hardware costs relative to employee salary. For a $35k/year employee, an $875 PC upgrade is only 2.5% of their salary. It's hard to argue that you won't get a 2.5% productivity increase from keeping users in new PCs every couple of years. It's amazing how much more willing someone is to do their work when you make it less frustrating for them.

Millenial here. I have a kindergarten and a school (although I don't need it yet) in a walking distance. You may assume that that is a by-accident result, but it isn't! When it was the time to look a new place to stay in, having near-by a kindergarten, a school, a pharmacy store, a green park, and a lot of other smaller things were deemed as important. It's also important to understand that these things won't happen if are not asked for.

I don't think people realize how rare 10x programmers are. If you read the book iWoz, you will realize Steve Wozniak was definitely 10x more productive than other programmers. He was doing stuff it would have taken other people years to figure out. I think it's really on the bleeding edge where the 10x productivity shows.

In 1997 I think I could have done a web site 10x faster than most people, because I had been obsessed with it. At this point that's no longer true. Right now there are people that can do machine learning stuff 10x faster than other people because they are obsessed. Because they are experts and deeper into the 10,000 hours it takes to become an expert. The phenomena is more like that book outliers.
