My question is "how does this compare to a $2 iPhone app like Sleep Cycle?"

Those apps (I assume there are clones of the one I used) measure the overall bed movement to track sleep depth, and have worked very well for me. Will wrapping something around my wrist do any better?
"So why couldn't other variables in the roommate story align to create an outcome that would not be expected based solely on the caliber of the weapon? It could and does happen; that was the author's message. Maybe the second roommate was a huge guy wearing a thick jacket, and each of the bullets struck his ribcage at a lucky angle (after being slowed down by several inches of jacket, fat, and muscle.)"

Because after 15 years it is more likely that you mis-remembered the story or erroneously conflated stories, etc.

And I understand the huge number of possibilities.

Such a remarkable story justifies a citation request: were it a more likely story, none would be required.

Let me turn the tables on you a bit: what is _your_ justification for the story as stated? I see no reason other than a 15-year old memory, possibly that of a child.

P.S. dkari - about your possible "urban legend" (that was downvoted) concerning the Israeli use of .22. I believe it far more likely to be true than the above story.

That would actually matter if Apple had good products. At least I can't stand the nazi experience that OS X is (i own a macbook, my first and last Apple product, now running Archlinux).
If you have 2 years left before graduation how about trying to transfer to a local university as an F-1 student.

Emmett can speak to this better than I can, but if I recall correctly, it's so that companies can foster their own cultures without being cross bred as directly from YC.
Die Comcast, die!
The Internet IS being used for illegal file sharing. Should we take it down? No! Classic baby/bathwater.
Across the wider sector, the fine is a good data point for investors. Even if the fine was doubled or tripled next time, it will be a outcome that won't really change behaviors.
Many cases on the misdemeanor docket can legitimately be summed up in a few minutes. For example, there are only two elements to DWLS... were you driving? was your license suspended? Cruiser video, officer testimony, and certified DMV records are enough.

For others, you can always request a continuance and make sure you put on the record that the current timeline will force you to be ineffective.
My first thought when I saw it was an iOS app was the same thing. Not even going to download it to give it a spin. Too much overhead.
How is the wage level for an industry segment not related to the simple supply and demand relationship for labor in that segment?
I still miss my Xperia mini pro. 3in display and a slide-out keyboard. Beautiful little thing... but too underpowered to keep using 4.5 years on.
Thanks for that idea of deleting sensitive environment variables. I like that for hosters such as heroku which use ENV variables for config (including secrets) by default.
Having had to deal with apple and knowing quite a few other people who had a simmilar exprience i have a feeling that this was the only way of doing so. Apple is notorious for not accepting certain discovered vulnerabilities at best, and at worst ciminilizing people who do try and report an issue.
This for some reason is much more prevelant for their services and mobile platform (especially when it comes to "design" flaws rather than a simple software bug) than the OSX team which while might simply not reply unless it gets enough traction on the the mailing list will atleast not send you threatening letters from their lawyers.
I have > 110k messages indexed and responses came back within ~300ms, less than 100ms with a warm cache.
There are lots of problems with this, not the least of which being:

• Configuration files can be trivially forged (rsa without signing)

• Many configuration files can be trivially decrypted without the key (rsa use on potentially big files)

• Keys can be trivially recovered in multiple ways (global variable, ptrace)

Users might be tricked into using your library despite the fact it offers them no real security except false security.

I recommend placing a warning that it is not intended to be used by anyone at any time.
> We made it through the industrial revolution because people stood up for their rights.

I wouldn't say we made it through. We are living it now. We are just getting automated away from it gradually over last hundred years despite all the kicking and screaming and few revolutions (the other, bloody kind). What we sort of succeeded at is getting decent share of the profits.

> Serious question: where do we start when we want to fight this?

I think you can't fight the process. You can just demand your share.

You need to fight for your right to information. Right to surveil others. Privacy will die, you just need to ensure everybody gets a piece of its corpse and all that grows on it.

Demand right to acquire and publicize surveillance footage no matter who acquired it. No matter who was surveiled. Demand transparency from your government to the point mandatory of livefeeding of all public officers.

Don't just accept that some things should be secret. Make all the people, who claim that, prove why. Enforce transparency as default and secrecy an incredibly well argued exception.
Because it's easy to do things the wrong way and a site built the wrong way still works, it's just insecure.

Last I checked (about a year ago I think) Whatsapp backups were platform-locked as well.
> Signal has been a nonprofit for years and has no money issues: https://signalfoundation.org. The organization has no formal ties to the alt-coin, although Moxie does. It doesn't monetize the Signal foundation.

Even worse, in my opinion. If a nonprofit running a useful encrypted app was trying to fund itself by shilling some altcoin, I wouldn't be happy but I would be understanding.

If the lead of the project is inserting the altcoin for personal enrichment at the cost of the nonprofit and the useful project, that's pure and simple corruption. As far as I can tell, no good is coming of this (I mean, unless you're interested in actually using Mobilecoin, of course. Personally I have no interest in doing so, and if my Signal contacts wanted to send me money I'd say to use Venmo instead).
There's a term for this (anyone know?) - when someone says life has improved and attributes it to specific events when really it would have improved on any number of other paths they could've taken too. The underlying factor is that "time passed and things happened".

You imagine the alternative as staying in the spot you were in, but of course that's impossible. There are all kinds of random encounters and unknown unknowns that would have happened.
And this is why the guide is "bad" - you simply can't avoid dealing with exceptions in C++ code, unless you also forgo the Standard Library, use weird and unreliable methods to detect constructor failures, and a bevy of other problems.
I was envisioning if you use x% of the grid’s power, you get a visit from the epa

Edit: you’re right that this would not catch really decentralized mining. Which is definitely a hole. In those cases, it would be hard to regulate I agree
Yup. 100% agree. I totally overlooked the shitshow you'll have managing the different versions of CMake a build might require. Somehow Bazel manages to escape that mess. I think that might be a better foundation, but getting everyone to port to that... it's a tall ask & there's many vocal people who are against improving the build system they work with (hell, I've met many engineers who grumble and strongly prefer Makefiles).
Power engineering is vast. Machinery, generation/transmission/distribution, high voltage are the main topics. They're very much intertwined with each other so maybe it's pointless to divide it into topics. Of course it's still part of the broader electrical engineering subject.
Work at a large hardware company like Dell or HP. I'm bored out of my mind during work.
edit I should have prefaced my comment with the fact that I find it odd that people got caught by surprise when the inventor of a cryptographically focused mobile messaging app integrated his cryptographically focused payment system which he unambiguously called mobile coin.

Mobilecoin has the same design principles as Signal insofar as it uses sgx enclaves to do its crypto work. While I would not want to rely on enclaves to do crypto work, it seems to fit in Signal's wheelhouse.

Also, on a speculative basis and assuming no colossal foul-ups, it appears to me that signal+mob want to distribute the mobile coins to artists and community groups. So, the marketing for mob will probably include their honest mission of having a green crypto that does good for the community.
Hope to see his Kickstarter campaign soon for the same.
Did, then. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S in 2010, which was locked down like that.

Edit: Maybe it was AT&T, not Samsung, but if so that's a broader scope anyway - and my current AT&T Android phone isn't locked down.
So I can port doom to gnu printf?
Once one take more than a surface level look at what you have said one realize it doesn't actually add up. Google blocks websites for all kinds of reasons, a whole lot in fact. It's especially evident if one has been using google since the beginning.
They are white people and the cops support their cause.

The cops are racist, but they also wouldn't be this friendly had a white leftist protest escalated.
i'm not surprised, Democrats are in power, you're going to see a purge throughout all the platforms since most align with the Left politically and now they have cover.

It will be interesting to see if there's a "we welcome different views because our new inclusive culture" platform movement when the power swings back to Republican party.
Did the “literal neo Nazis” prevail? How many of them were there?

“No” and “not many” are the answers so the comparison with widespread attacks on millions of people’s hard won freedoms are (or should be) definitely more of a concern to wider society.
Enough people need to put pressure on these companies to stop censorship. These companies still care a bit about emails and customer reviews. This is why cancel culture gets away with it because they mass email them to take down and de-platform people. Here's an email template. You can modify it as needed and send it.

I sent it to these two emails WHICH ARE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THEIR SITE so I am not doxxing:

product-security@apple.com

tcook@apple.com

----------- TEMPLATE:

I wasn't able to find a specific place to send this feedback so using this email. Please forward to the relevant department.

I am a brown immigrant to Canada. I usually don't mention my race but it seems relevant in this topic. I as well as my family own several Apple products including iPhones, MacBooks, Mac Minis etc. Several of us and my friends are also developers for the App Store. I am deeply disappointed in Apple threatening censorship and banning of apps which don't align with Apple staff's views. I understand calls to violence are unacceptable but Apple banning apps like Parler just for political speech which isn't violence is deeply disappointing.

I am not sure if you are aware but apps like Twitter, Reddit have and allow porn, illegal porn, and regularly calls to violence. Twitter allows violent terrorists like Antifa, Iranian dictator who calls for assassination and violence to stay on their platform but has banned a democratically elected President just because they disagree with him. Facebook has banned WalkAway group - founded by a gay man, with 500000 members consisting of ex-liberals who have left the democrat party. These members were mainly gays, blacks, brown, hispanics, women etc who have now been banned by Facebook. How can Apple accept apps like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit which openly allow porn, illegal content etc while banning gays, blacks, hispanics etc simply because they are conservative? And now Apple is threatening banning Parler too?

Doesn't Apple stand for freedom of expression, stand with gays and PRIDE? Does Apple believe us brown, gays, blacks, hispanics etc aren't allowed to have differing view points? This is a deeply disturbing and concerning thing which Apple is doing and essentially pouring gasoline over already polarized population. Apple is forgetting that until a few decades ago, us minorities like blacks, gays, jews etc were threatened with the same censorship. Apple should reflect on this and stop this blatant censorship. Otherwise I along with my friends and family will stop supporting and purchasing Apple products. There would remain no reason for me to support Apple if they have forgotten their own 1984 ad:

And the "white supremacist terrorism" your parent commenter references kills how many?

"The DHS’s “Homeland Threat Assessment” found that White supremacy extremism accounted for more fatal attacks in the U.S. than any other domestic violent extremist group since 2018, with eight of the 16 violent reported from 2018 through 2019."

For comparison, 9/11 killed 2,977 people. So it seems there is a problem with how DHS is measuring and reporting rare events.
AP source will get fewer downvotes: https://apnews.com/article/capitol-police-reject-federal-hel...
Awesome. Let's give The Prez the ability to leverage a massive-scale worldwide denial of service attack at his every whim before the Evil Haxors can pound their script kiddie tools through the firewall. Way to go.
I've heard this is a great company to work for from friends. My fiance and I also order from them constantly, so the offering is compelling.

Sidenote I sent in an app for product manager and was never called back ;(
I think that it's hard to make the case for open warfare when you can't prove that it was the (for example) the Chinese government that launched the attack. Or are you suggesting a covert retaliatory attack?
Lots of good advice here. I think it boils down to:

Execute and Iterate.

At 20 you lack experience, the 10,000 hours, to be really good. Don't dream of things, do them -- even if they 'fail' in the traditional sense. Learn from the experience and try again.
> Get good at something first.

Just do that.

If you want $1m in 15 years, see a financial planner. $40k per year at 6.5% compounding will do it, just stay at McDonalds and work another job. Sound interesting? No, but you will make your goal.

>What you should be doing is figuring out what gets you up in the morning.

Exactly.
missed that part indeed - i apologise.

google translate helped me make sense of the pages you link to. do i understand correctly that they run the Reykjavik council? sounds like a down-to-earth party representing the interests of the people more than those of the corporations. unusual, that.

also, i like how they use open direct democracy. i wish there were more reporting about this.

all in all, this sounds a little like reverse disaster capitalism: seize the crisis to install laws that benefit the people. disaster socialism? ;)
In Spanish, at least, the ch is no longer considered as a separate letter for sorting. It is still a separate letter in lists.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem.
Even using the program with a blank document feels sluggish in Windows 10, I'm sorry. Opening the text formatting window takes a few seconds on a one page document (maybe I have too many fonts installed??). There's something seriously wrong with that software.
They also have the unique ability to effectively compel you to provide that information. At least with private companies you have [the illusion of] of choice.
I used to think 'make world' on BSD was some big deal until I started to synthesize HDL code to bitfiles or GDS.
Yes, but if you're interested in performance, it's very possible that using the wrong scheduling of instructions for those particular optimisations (very particular scheduling ones) will result in extremely bad performance due to pipeline stalls, so running the machine code on the wrong architecture (possibly even among Intel platforms) will not give good performance other than on the explicit machine it's optimised for.

Keep in mind that ICC supports dynamic code paths for different marchs, so in theory you could have code for Intel 6th Gen, 7th Gen, 8th Gen, etc all dynamically switchable at run time.
You can blame the Dutch Tourism board for that, they unilaterally declared 'The Netherlands' to be too complicated for marketing purposes and decided on Holland.

So, from on high: Den Bosch is now also in Holland, as are Maastricht, Enschede, Middelburg and Groningen, to great chagrin of those living there. It's been a major point of contention between the NBTC and almost all of the rest of the country but 'Made in Holland' has displaced 'Made in The Netherlands' for quite a while now.
That is probably enough info to ID him- you may want to edit that in case of unintended negative repercussions for him...
Reading the comments its obvious that this hits a nerve with many people, exactly as the essay argues :) Our conceptual world is just that, conceptual, and is open to interpretation and change, and is fundamentally open ended. And at our current societal development we really really do not like that. We want to know how things are, and poking holes in how things are, is not popular (yet)
Was recently googling what the Kernel guys were using out of curiosity. GKH mentioned that he had access to 32 core AWS instances for it....7 years ago.

No, it's definitely chemical.

One of the symptoms of depression is ahedonia, the inability to experience pleasure. It is a very strange experience.

One day I went outside and it was a beautiful sunny day, and I couldn't enjoy it. Not that I was so sad the sunny day didn't matter. It did nothing. It was like I was looking at it through a store window, but my world was overcast and gray.

One day I went to play at a pool with my newborn son. It was a beautiful day, he was laughing, kids were frolicking and playing. I felt nothing. Not the slightest reaction. As if they weren't there.

I have a beautiful life. No financial stress. My family is awesome. My job is awesome. I don't do anything reckless or self-destructive. I have lots of hopes for the near future. But many days, I didn't care if I lived or died, didn't care if I missed so much work I got fired, didn't care if I alienated my family, didn't care that I was cold even though there was a blanket within arm's reach.

Medication resulted in a nearly immediate improvement, and a slow return to normalcy. And it is definitely the medication. One day I missed my meds, and I went into a three day long tailspin during which I couldn't care enough about anything to make even small decisions like whether to have lunch or how to put my socks on.

I always wondered: is that a Bloom County reference?
Why not just another higher tax bracket where income is greater than $1 million or something?
I've been battling depression for years(binge and fasting cycles, not leaving the house for days on end, sleeping 14-16hrs a day) and I'd like help but I'm afraid the medication will affect my creativity. Do any creative people have experience with what medicines to try and which if any to avoid? Thanks.
It 100% is. A mention is nothing less of an advertisement. Giving someone a mention somewhere in return for a sponsorship is simply selling an online ad.

Otherwise every company in the world could legally evade tax by calling their sales "sponsorships" and offered services as a "favour".
There are a lot more people today that do think very hard to come up with smarter algorithms. Most likely more than at any point in human history.

Laravel is probably the easiest, and it runs on shared hosting if that's a requirement. It also has a great community.

A and B aren't really conspiracy theories as much as they are skeptical views on the safety of technological advances.

> You can claw back from folks who don't need it at tax time.

Completely agree. Means-test the taxation, not the handout.

If rich people are getting the handout and don't need it, adjust tax to offset the handout with a phaseout.

We have a well developed process/venue to handle fairness of taxation - best place for means-testing.
