Yes but this has nothing to do with the video at hand. Most of the time the 4kb and 64kb demos are using procedural algorithms to fit in small amounts of memory, and with modern PCs it's kind of cheating because they use system libraries which are much bigger than 64kb in the first place.

Here, what's impressive is the ability to render video full speed on something AS SLOW as the first 8088. Pretty cool.
That isn't the strongest evidence that I linked, let alone the strongest evidence that exists. I recommend looking into the data gathered by the Voter Integrity Fund (I linked a video from an individual presenting their findings) to have a place to start.

You picked the one high-profile case where an individual who did not vote in a specific state somehow had a signature verified ballot cast in their name. Because of who he is, and because of his beliefs, it made headlines (in conservative media).

If you google "Nahshon Garrett CNN" you see the following results: https://pasteboard.co/JIuN3X9.jpg

You can swap CNN for almost every major media outlet(NBC, MSNBC, etc) and see the same results. So, compared to the amount of articles posted that call allegations of fraud baseless, or claim there is no evidence, the coverage this well-documented counterexample is extremely minimal. It's noteworthy that an independent channel (Tim Pool) has such a presence in the results.

> Also please vote in your elections, it impacts all of us.

There hasn't been a President in 40 years (until Trump, ironically) that has not started a new war. As someone who strongly believes that violence should only be tolerated as a defensive measure of last resort, I cannot in good conscience vote for anyone who does not believe the same.
Why does everyone feel the need to screw with scrolling (the avclub link scrolls much faster and weirder than the Firefox Android default)? It's disorienting.
Oh, you're right. It took quite a bit of digging around to get to this part, and I seem to have accidentally copied the part I was looking for, though I searched for "advertisements".
> #4: fake news. This amplifies #1 significantly. It was less of a problem in Lippmann’s time since the News world was much smaller. He might have called this “rumor”, not news.

He called it propaganda and it was a big problem during his time.

> Without some form of censorship, propaganda in the strict sense of the word is impossible. In order to conduct a propaganda there must be some barrier between the public and the event. Access to the real environment must be limited, before anyone can create a pseudo-environment that he thinks wise or desirable. For while people who have direct access can misconceive what they see, no one else can decide how they shall misconceive it, unless he can decide where they shall look, and at what. The military censorship is the simplest form of barrier, but by no means the most important, because it is known to exist, and is therefore in certain measure agreed to and discounted.

IMO we got here because social media allows people to run from one form of censorship straight into the arms of another without realizing they're still being censored. The same thing happened in Lippmann's time. People did not realize their circles were excluding information. The result was a couple periods of very-difficult-to-reconcile division.
The idea that Twitter or Facebook are forced to be the propoagators of anyone's speech is false. Instead, all users are subject to the same EULA and TOS, and likewise, are judged in terms of the content they post, not their political leanings. If you owned a website that allowed public postings, would you ever consider yourself obligated to protect a member of the government's speech in a way you do not for a normal user?

Also, you can hardly call it a MITM attack when they are specifically announcing their policy. Your usage of that term implies an underhanded policy designed to hide their intentions and actions. This is clearly not the case.
that's a great idea.

i'd also like to it possible for only one person to speak at the same time.

and keep track of who's talking the most. in some contexts that can be helpful. it might be useful too if each partipant only had the floor for so long.
Remarkable article, well worth a read.
Oh I didnt see any because the google server seems to be blocked from my current location
If anything your readiness to excuse Toyota's faults is proving my point.

They've had 40yr to fix the problem. Still not fixed. We'll have to wait a few years to see if they fixed it this year.

Yes the Tacoma is small compared to their global presence.

The Focus is small compared to Ford's global presence and they still got a ton of crap for that transmission. Nissan gets crap for their CVTs that aren't really that bad anymore. Subaru gets crap about head gasket and transmission issues they mostly cleaned up a decade ago.

My point is that Tesla is at say a 5 and the fanboys pump up their reputation so that they look like a 6. Toyota is at say a 7 and the blind fanboys pump it up to an 8. It's not about who's better. My point is that this blind fanboyism that guards a reputation in the face of mis-steps isn't something unique to Tesla or the cult of Musk.

If anything the common factor is upper middle class allure. Nothing rounds out a driveway in a nice school district like a Model 3 paired with a Toyota pickup or SUV. Though I have no idea whether it's the cause or the effect or maybe a feedback loop.
“The best content” is performative crap
This is the next logical step in inverted totalitarianism: society ran and policed by commercial AI, without recourse or due-process because it "isn't government." This occurs as corporations take over the functions of previously public commons and forums, commonwealth/community infrastructure, and manage public-private "partnerships" (PPP's), effectively cannibalizing, ruining, and gaming government and public goods for profit.

1984 wasn't conceived from a vantage-point that exists now; the future from here has the potential to be far, far worse. These threads needs to be made into a novel and a movie to infotain people what dystopian concerns are tangible through unrestrained or under-regulated deployment of technologies on the horizon. China is already doing pre-crime and panopticon surveillance.
Because almost certainly, the implementation will be for the company, mastercard, tesla, etc, to immediately turn around and sell the crypto for $.
Surely a 500% tax hike would have no effect.
Exactly. Inflation in home prices is great for property owners, bad for everybody else.

Should renters not have the opportunity to buy a home?
Which is what you would expect, no? I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here, can you elaborate?
Investing in Bitcoin seems like investing in GameStop: so many people are obsessed and want in on it but almost nobody really understands what’s going on or why the value is growing. They just want the easy money. Regardless of whether Bitcoin is a good investment or not, this is not a healthy way for an investment market to work

OK
Being India where the yearly income is about $2,000 USD that amount would seem closer to a million dollars in their minds.
The video compression that Netflix did not invent is h.264 that was invented in the 90s. Just like VRML.
I shouldn’t be inconvenienced or violated in the attempt to return things to you though. In these kinds of morally dubious scenarios, either you make all effort or the materials in question fall below a level of societal notability.
My basic point is that you're probably a lot less diversified than your financial advisor says you are. I'm not going to bet against American hegemony extending for the next 50 years, but I'm certainly going to hedge against it...
Seems like a worm, not a virus.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
One thing that is in historic accounts, is that people used to die in the street in London quite frequently. This is probably related to the fact that their dwellings were so small.

If the person died in a not-so-good area street gangs would strip the corpse of clothes because they were so valuable.

That alone speaks to the relative value of clothes. Most of us wouldn't wear a piece of clothing we found, even if it was in good condition.
Similar story in Cleveland too: https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2014/10/...
It will kill capitalism

Who controls/owns the hardware that the AI runs on, and the AI itself? Who are these people giving away augments for free? Why would they not limit the capabilities of low-tier augments to ensure the very few at the top can still remain there?

Clearly you haven't played deus ex.
the problem, of course, being that this is what an MRI machine looks like: http://neurophilosophy.files.wordpress.com/2006/09/img_0968....
You're not actually disagreeing with me. I didn't say anything against cloud services, only that they could be set up to benefit users rather than suppliers.

However, if people are too lame-brained to look after their own data, then I still won't feel sorry if they lose it. You can feel sorry if you want, but it won't make the tiniest bit of difference.
Or it may be done so that people don't get to know how certain events or phenomena are named in English and therefore search for them in Chinese rather than in English, and get much more loyal-to-China results on average.
Oops, I cant edit now :S Thx for the correction
Thanks! Will have to check that out.
Housing first is a wonderful program. My stepmother has been running a similar pilot program in Greensboro, NC [1]. The thesis, which is holding up, is that the total cost to taxpayers is lower if the city pays the rent vs. emergency room visits, court system, police, etc. that result from homelessness.

Its also hard to implement. Its hard to find willing landlords with safe housing, and you want to spread folks out instead of ghettoizing them and creating a larger problem. The whole thing only works because of the ridiculously hard work the case managers and other social workers are putting in.

You'll find similar differences between the "feet and fists" death rate. What are the "feet" control laws?

And, the UK's low firearms death rates predate the firearms laws, which largely occurred post-WWI to stop a communist takeover.

Note the US' firearms death rate isn't uniform. For example, most of the peninsula's is better than the UK's best, but East Palo Alto, which has exactly the same laws (and lower firearms ownership than Palo Alto), is horrendously worse.

Parts of the US are third-world, with all that that entails. Gun control won't change that.
The gas gauge is just another 'idiot light' to me. It doesn't really tell me anything reliable but it does spur further action. Similar to how a maintenance required light lets me know I need to plug in the code reader and check it out. When the gauge indicates low, I'll pay attention to how much mileage I'm expecting and then time the next fill-up around that.

(Tracking mileage is done on my phone. Using the data stored there I can accurately gauge how many miles I can get using the odometer. I've done this for the entire life of my truck and I can peg a 3500 mile roadtrip's cost within 5$)

That said - I feel that I would prefer an accurate reading on the tank status through the gauge to be standard. I wouldn't feel so uncertain when driving someone else car past the last gas station for 50m en route to Vegas.
I love how they preempt the economy issue by saying that it is cheaper to house them than it is to treat them. Wouldn't it be even cheaper to put a limit on how much you can owe the public before you are turned away at the er? After all, this is the money that comes from the insurance premiums that have exploded recently.
Entirety of humanity?

~ 1/12th of the current population of the Earth, sure. However, (as of a 2009 estimate) there have been around 106 billion homo sapiens to have lived.

Not to diminish the impact of your statistic with pedantry or anything. :)

> But Ubuntu as a binary image (or source code) is a very different product than a VM with Ubuntu pre-installed.

How? Why? If it's different in any meaningful way from just clicking "next" on the installer then it's no longer Ubuntu, and certainly not Canonical Ubuntu, that's pre-installed. It's become, at best, Microsoft-Ubuntu-Because-Microsoft-Added-Telemetry-For-Azure. Or it's Canoncical-Ubuntu-Configured-By-Microsoft-With-Azure-CLI-Preinstalled.

It's not "Ubuntu" any more.
To another German it's amusing that the individual words exist in German and English, but don't quite mean the same things in each language, i.e. are not really translations of each other.
I recently saw the tapestry in person and highly recommend the experience even if you are not very interested in this time period, region, or tapestry/embroidery (as my companions were not). Probably the best museum audio guide that I have ever heard and the object that most benefits from having an audio guide.
The code is gratis. Although, partnership deals tend to go beyond simply sharing code, and into the realm of dedicating time and resources to working with each other.
> Any other definition is, quite simply, wrong.

Then there are a great many definitions of there that are quite wrong. Many references to organising a service and so forth.

This is probably one of those instances where the dictionary needs to catch up. A dictionary documents how language is used at the time of its compilation, it does not dictate how language will/should be used for all time forward.
>no exercise means lower metabolism and overall health

For those who have a controlled weight already, is a higher metabolism actually something to aim for?

People who practice calorie restriction for life extension do seem to exercise but not to raise the metabolism, they view that as a tradeoff.
I'm not sure what your point is. My best guess is that you're implying that the only reason people don't do things that are illegal is the fact that they are illegal. If I'm wrong, please correct me, and disregard the next paragraph.

I see two problems with this point. Firstly, while I'm not entirely sure how the legal system in the US works, but I suspect it would be illegal for Coinbase to shut down and run away with everyone's Bitcoins. I doubt that USD is the only asset that is legally protected from theft/fraud. Secondly, I suspect that Coinbase has a huge incentive to not do this even if it were legal to do so. Namely, they should be able to make a lot more money by conducting their business legitimately and continually than if they ran off with one lump sum.
I have seen a bare fragment of this in my wife's family. It's the crab bucket culture, and is highly destructive to individual growth.

There may be valid reasons for such a culture to exist, but for the most part, they do not apply in rich industrial nations. China, for instance, is about to feel some cultural growing pains thanks to its generation under the One Child Policy and its increasing urban industrialization.

Once a strong family network is no longer necessary for individual prosperity, it tends to collapse back down to a smaller, more manageable size. You don't have to carry your creepy uncle, and your layabout second cousin, and your overbearing great aunt on your back any more, because they can all get factory jobs and/or welfare payments.

This lady, between Spain and the US, has a better opportunity to escape the crab bucket than she will ever have in Pakistan. If she does not take it soon, even without the degree, she may be condemning herself to a life without freedom by her own choice.
There is, it's the style of electricity plan that the rest of the country is on
I would love the opportunity to sign up for this, if and only if they could send me some test messages so I could make sure my load-shedding scripts work.

The opportunity to engage more directly with the market would be cool and useful for folks with the technical chops to participate appropriately. And if everyone's smart appliances and bitcoin miners could actually cut themselves off with price spikes, _the grid would be healthier for it_.

I think of it like self-insurance. If you have the financial resources to weather the foreseeable eventualities, you can forego many traditional types of insurance. However, you have to prove that you have the money in the bank.

In this case, there was nobody checking that these wholesale customers had the technical chops to meaningfully participate in the wholesale market. THAT is the problem. The market should exist, but just like you can't register a car without either normal insurance or proving your self-insurability, you shouldn't get electrical service without either paying normal consumer rates or proving your ability to play the wholesale game.
I am Armenian and I can almost guarantee you it is not Armenian writing nor Armenian cursive. It almost looks like a mix between Arabic and Armenian.

It may be some Middle Eastern language..
I don't think it does. I think you are misreading it.
Griddy seems to be pretty adamant that PUCT had ERCOT set the price that high.

https://www.griddy.com/post/griddy-update-why-energy-prices-...

It links to source material that mostly reads as gibberish to me but does seem to make clear near the start that PUCT/ERCOT have the power to change the price and were unhappy that it was lower than $9000.
It is, but then people couldn't pay -- and since they couldn't pay, neither can Griddy, since it ran cash-lean and didn't extract enough profit during low rate periods to cover this amount of delinquency. The $2.1B shortfall is being assessed equally among resellers, so Griddy acting like they're some victim instead of just another participant is a bit silly. You don't see Encor complaining about the shortfall makeup assessment, despite all of their customers being on fixed-rate.
My guess too.
I’m a bit surprised you have the time for UberLUX. When I find myself with an expense account for Uber I always go for the lowest ETA, which is rarely Uber Premium. You must be hanging out in richer places than me.
How so? Last time I checked 'drag and drop' was still the primary method of file management in Finder and Apple hasn't added a tiling window manager.
The following statement puts things in perspective, doesn't it.

"Speeds of 200 MIPS and more are likely in the coming years."

Now, a modern Mac Pro can do 488250 million instructions per second. Needless to say, we've had progress in these last couple of decades.
> A big example is the the Spanish Conquistadors and the Native Americans. Prior to them meeting, the Native Americans probably had a better quality of life than the Spaniards. But after the meeting, they got totally screwed over.

That had nothing to do with technology levels. The native Americans were wiped out by novel diseases. The conquistadors were helped greatly by the based-on-fact rumours of people dying a while after coming into contact with them. Factionalism and partisanship, various groups thinking they could use the chaos to grab power, made things worse too.
It works on GNOME and KDE on Wayland now AFAIK. Still no bueno on sway or other Wayland envs.
Very interesting. I wonder if it was the vomiting that did it, or the norovirus somehow resetting your gut bacteria? I have chronic stomach issues as well, and sometimes I get the feeling that a "total system purge" is all that's really necessary... that is, "turn it off and on again." :)
A lot of Chiropractic practice is about regaining and preserving good posture and many places employ actual physical therapists and massage therapists. It's true they put too much stock in the spine being the root all ailments, but it's not a total sham. They may not be medical doctors but they certainly do do evidence-based treatments and understand anatomy. From your comment it sounds like you've never been to one and fundamentally don't understand what they are about.
Elon Musk is a hack, and his "deep technical" answers are either pre-prepared or appear deep and technical to people outside of the fields.
My receipt printer library[0] uses dithering for images since the printers are black and white but fairly high resolution. It looks pretty decent [1], much better than a plain black and white conversion. I learned about dithering while implementing this library, and it’s a great technique! I originally implemented a black and white filter and then Floyd-steinberg dither natively in c# but then ended up using a library for it since we needed image transforms as well.

My daughter loves pretending she has a transmogrifier. She ZAPS us into different creatures.

We read a ton of Get Fuzzy right now. And she’s turning into Bucky. Yesterday while doing yard work she said to me, “hey Pinky, put me in the hammock.”
What are you investing in? There’s nothing else to put your money into right now that gives you good returns except maybe your own business.

Real estate is the obvious alternative, but real estate is shitty and worse than stocks IMO. Every year many real estate investors go bankrupt, they get sucked into the idea of buying multiple properties and using mortgages thinking it’s a safe form of leverage until one day your property values collapse, rents fall below the mortgage payments, and now you don’t have enough cash flow to pay mortgages every month and can’t simply sell the properties to pay off the loans because you owe more than what they’re worth. Guess that means you go bankrupt.

The stock market is not a “cancerous gambling machine” unless you’re YOLOing on shitty meme stocks and options.
I tried to use this but half of the commandline stuff doesn't work, there is no warning or error messages, screenshots don't get saved anywhere. Back to trusty old scrot I guess.
And the next commenter's point is that space is so expensive in SF, that no one just has an extra room on hand that they don't already use.
Yup, this selection bias is also survivorship bias.

From the risk factors summary:

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal controls over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or until we are no longer an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.

Wow, I didn't know about this. Shouldn't financial reporting always be transparent?
I don't expect people to agree with their case, but they should get to make it.
