" put in a a request to IT who might get around to it in a week if you are lucky."

A week would be brilliant. Months or years is more realistic. And every change has to go through five levels of management and business analysts before it goes to some clueless people at an outsourcing company and costs insane money.
Up until a few weeks ago, it was the only governmental line you'd hear here on the news in China. Frozen salmon coming from Norway...
Beyond the social communication here which has been hugely helpful, I need less pain and for my adrenaline levels to abate; I'm still wound up from Monday which is longer than typical.

And wifi access would let me chase down my 2020 w-2 to file for the 1200 and 600 federal help payments for which I am eligible but never received.
I was watching a Youtube video about banned documentaries a while back. One of which was a film documenting abuse in a mental health facility. It may not have been in Boston directly, but I recall it was somewhere in MA. The documentary was set by release, and even approved by the hospital, but the government decided to step in and halt it's showing.
> Similarly, she is very organized with her paper files, I just throw mine into a box. In the rare event I need something (eg when doing taxes) I don't mind scanning through the whole mess. Seems like a better strategy than making each "write" costly (neatly organizing) since writes are frequent and reads are rare.

This is why I have given up trying to organise my downloaded papers and books by subject. It's faster to search through them when I have a term in mind.
Every ruling party/regime across the world does that ;) https://archive.is/5oNEY
They can still use the web interface, right? It is only their app that is violating ToS. I think it would be different in Apple was blocking their DNS.
Twitter, Youtube and Facebook were also used to coordinate last years Antifa/BLM riots that caused 25-ish deaths, hudreds or thousands of injuries, uncountable financial damage to government, local businesses, homes yet this was never a problem.

Also cartels and terrorist groups have used these platforms to spread their propaganda for a decade now with barely any censorship.
A police officer friend with 20 years of crowd control experience told me that the preparations looked criminally negligent. I believe that this was done on purpose with full knowledge that these events were likely to occur. If crowd control and security are your job, there are only two explanations: you are horrible at your job, or, you did this on purpose with bad intentions.
Hmm, http://neverssl.com/ seems to work for me.
The definition of murder is not simply death. In fact, what counts as murder and what type of murder is quite complex and varies by jurisdiction. It was not as simple as saying "no murder". We arrived at this definition of murder over a long period of time.
While i hear you - i don't see this as an isolated incident. I see this as the inevitable result of radicalization that this President has pushed for four years.

Shockingly when you flat out say that "They're only sending there criminals" (with regards to Mexico) it has affects on how some people view and thus tread Mexicans and/or brown skinned peoples. Repeatedly, examples similar to this have been expected by the left (myself included) to incite discrimination and violence to groups of people.

So this is, imo, the natural outcome of the President saying that the government is broken beyond belief and that it is a literal stolen election.

So, with all that said i don't entirely disagree with you - BUT, this is far from an isolated incident in my mind. This is repeated escalation.
> > Are against abortion? Then you’re a misogynist.

Have you looked at the data of how many women are pro-life? Do you think half of women are misogynists?

or remember when people were shouting ACAB and BLM while burning down and looting businesses?

the double standard is really bizarre.
I'm not convinced about a critical amount of 'fraud' in the election, but I think you're off your rocker if you think the US election system generally has sufficient controls in place not to be easily abused. This year saw even more loosening of the control structure because of knee-jerk reactions to perceived pandemic limitations (warranted or not, I don't care). I also don't care what your politics are or which team you root for, but from a systems perspective there are very obvious control deficiencies in how elections are carried out in this country.

Claims of fraud would be far, far, far easier to dismiss if a better control structure was in place. Maybe a national certification (a la NIST) that would be optional for states to adopt, but would at least would provide a framework for transparent state and local alignment (or misalignment) with best practice.
What do you think about the newer attempts at declarative programming (which are often embedded in Prolog) such as CLP + consistency techniques and CHR?

Regardless of whether Prolog (or CLP or CHR) is helpful towards "real" AI, I'd like to hear your thoughts about the kind of domains / problems for which these approaches are a good fit.
Apart from the general system management advantages of dynamic libraries, they provide an important extensibility/customization mechanism (e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-paper.html for an early mention).

High performance computing systems typically use dynamic linking extensively for that. One example: The hooks for profiling and tool support in the MPI standard for parallel programming pretty much depend on an LD_PRELOAD-type mechanism to be useful. Another: You can cope with the mess due to missing policy on BLAS libraries in Fedora/EPEL (unlike Debian) by using OpenBLAS replacements for the reference and ATLAS libraries; have them preferred by ld.so.conf and get a worthwhile system-wide speed increase on your Sandybridge nodes with EPEL packages.

Anyhow, rebuilding a static system to address a problem with a library ignores all its uses in user programs. The ability to adjust things via properly-engineered dynamic libraries really has a lot more pros than cons in my non-trivial experience. The use of rpath ("ones referencing specific paths"?) is mostly disallowed by packaging rules in the GNU/Linux distributions I know, so I'm not sure where that comment came from, and it tends to defeat the techniques above.
Yep, looks interesting. Will give it a try (added myself for the beta test), are you affiliate with them ? Thanks for the head up.
I would suggest starting with "What happened, and why I did it". Having explained my fair share of stochastic simulations of systems of ODEs to clinicians, I think the core of the problem is heading into the mathematical tall grass way to quickly.
I think the assumption was that the code was not fully fleshed out and would require some form of glue code to provide an interface. Even fully fleshed out git repositories usually take a little setup of the environment / compile setting to get it running.
I can't speak for myself (yet) but some successful bloggers such as Ramit Sethi or Derek Halpern recommend spending even 50% or more time promoting the content you write. But that's of course only one part of the whole equation. One should make sure first that someone will actually want to read that content - i.e. do a lot of upfront research.
Yeah, they're just going to be compromised anyway, so why bother putting in measures to secure them, right?
You don't want be convinced, and you won't allow it to happen. It's extremely obvious. No one is going to waste their time attempting to correct you. You have to correct yourself. Or don't.
Perhaps the entrepreneurs amongst us don't like it when someone who the brutality of society would miscast as an ugly little man makes a site that isn't afraid of showing it's ugly side and garners moderate success in, if not financial but at least social acceptance and 'bootstrap' paradigms.

Frederick is an inspirational bloke and all these people casting aspersions on his character whilst lamenting m00t's departure for his cultural boldness, despite disagreeing with the content is pure hypocrisy.

Especially given the non-inclusive hate mob moniker attributed to GG by a genuinely terrible cabal of shoddy journalists and their transparent smears.

I believe common sense will prevail in all of this and there will be no victory fanfares or v-days - quietly the press will mature, the trolls will get bored and good websites and reporters will get justified clicks.
How exactly does this site break the back button again?
The whole package here is a great idea, but the "labs" have insane potential.

I would jump on the opportunity to build labs for other languages if they offered an sdk of some sort.
And if you're already getting A's and still bored, start doing more side projects.

Or: Take harder classes and take classes in a different field. Stop by and ask the professor's office and ask them the hardest question you can think of. And instead of having them give you the answer, talk with them and try to figure it out yourself.
The webRequest API is not supported in Safari, so extensions like uBlock Origin cannot be ported in their current form. It's unfortunate that Apple is not embracing the webRequest API, since it's so much more than a tool for content blocking. Requests are a core feature of any browser, and not allowing extensions to control and edit requests hinders innovation among browser extensions.

The notifications API is also missing in Safari, so extensions must use the native messaging API to show notifications from the native app extension.
The proper way to evaluate how successful throwing out leaders is as a way towards peace is not to list cases you can think of where it failed, but to list every place leaders were thrown out with a goal of peace, and seeing how well that fared.

Then to be really honest, see how well that fared against other options.

Then you may reach a different, but demonstrably more accurate, conclusion.
> I cannot imagine there is something extra-ordinarily hard that mathematicians do, that is somehow not captured by how a Go player approaches the game.

It's not "extraordinarily hard" but the issue is that math does not have a well-defined search space. A lot of times, proving statements requires quite a lot of intermediate results, additional tools and definitions... There is more creativity in math proofs that people think, and I don't think ML algorithms will be able to reproduce that. At most I see specific algorithms for limited purposes.
>Being able to speak "only" from one's own blog only makes discovery difficult, it does not limit people's access post-discovery.

Exactly. And furthermore, while the big social media platforms help discovery and amplification, they're not that powerful (fortunately). They're not the difference between Faneuil Hall and a remote mountaintop. Posting on Facebook and Twitter is no guarantee of being heard. You can ignore all the major social media platforms and your ability to reach a wide audience is still incredibly democratized.
Couldn't agree more. The pragmatist in me would rather MS understand that people don't want quarter inch drills, they want quarter inch holes, and yet another part of me wonders how they could freshen up the UI. But what I want more than anything else is consistency. Either is fine, but both aren't.
I'd say there might be ongoing work to support Windows/BootCamp but in true Apple tradition (or maybe due to MS delays) it is being kept secret
It's problematic for one state to move by itself though. I live in NYC, so if New York adopted permanent standard time, we'd spend half the year in a different timezone than New Jersey. I don't think I'd be in favor of that, even though in aggregate I very much want year-round standard time.
Yeah, that’s the email subscription, substack style. Not RSS.
Good article but there's something I want to point out:

> But in this case calling Martin Luther King a criminal is the noncentral. The archetypal criminal is a mugger or bank robber. He is driven only by greed, preys on the innocent, and weakens the fabric of society. Since we don't like these things, calling someone a "criminal" naturally lowers our opinion of them.

You can make valid arguments that Martin Luther King was bad because he was a criminal without connecting it to emotional reactions we get from criminals.

You can dislike criminals because you think they're nasty people, but you can also dislike them on the principle of them breaking the law, regardless of how nasty or clean they otherwise are. If you say that 'Criminals are bad necessarily because they break laws', and 'Martin Luther King was bad because he was a criminal', then you can connect them to get 'Martin Luther King was bad necessarily because he broke laws'. That can be seen as true without ever bringing in emotional reactions to criminals.

I can safely dismiss that as an imperfect example though, and still a reasonable example. The general thesis of the article makes sense.

You can apply the same reasoning to some of the other examples. In the Evolutionary Psychology part, a lot of the time EP is dismissed as being non-credible, not because it doesn't support one's argument or because people think it's inherently sexist. The author's example misrepresents what a lot of people mean when they disregard EP in an argument: they don't disagree with it because the logical conclusion is sexist, they disagree with it because it's being used in an unscientific and unreliable way. Again though, it could be used the way the author described, so for the sake of example I guess it makes sense.
Zee was apparently involved with both groups. He was likely the only skilled member of Lizard Squad.
I suggest you read on North Korean military equipment, supplies and operational readiness.

It is all about the details:

They have the largest submarine force in the world; but every one of them is an outdated diesel-electric.

They have a couple hundred fighter airplanes, but their trained pilots get 10-20 hours of practice every year.

And so on...

They aren't capable of a prolonged attack as they don't have enough food( literally ). At best they can defend for a long time and cause a lot of collateral damage with chemical weapons and short range nukes, which is enough to keep their enemies away.
I think you stopped reading Adventured's post too early.

The U.S. defeats conventional armies all the time, and Adventured was responding to the idea that North Korea's conventional army might be a problem for the U.S. It's the guerrilla war afterward that the U.S. might lose, which Adventured goes on to address.
During the development of The Sims 1, Will Wright came up with the idea of assigning each of the Sims a Zodiacal sign, based on the personality points that the player "spent" on them on the character creation screen. He defined 12 different archetypal sets of personality point values, one for each sign, and it simply assigned the nearest sign to the character's current personality.

Some of the other designers argued that we should come up with our own fictional astrological signs for the Sims, since there was already so much baggage associated with the traditional ones. But Will countered that the baggage was the whole point!

So we implemented the design for assigning astrological signs in the character creation screen. But at that point, the assigned signs were purely cosmetic, and had absolutely no influence on anything else in the game.

Then we let the testers take a crack at it, to make sure there weren't any bugs in the character creation screen.

Of course the testers immediately started reporting problems that the character's astrological signs were effecting their behavior too much, and that the game needed to be tuned so that their signs did not influence their behavior so heavily.

That's exactly the kind of behavior that Will was trying to influence by using "real" astrological signs, along with all their glorious baggage and preconceptions: the behavior of the player's mind, no the behavior of the game itself! It anything needs tuning, it's the player's belief in astrology.
SSH can really be used for almost everything. It's a different thing if it actually _should_ be used for everything.

My favourite one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS

Whenever I'm developing for my mobile phone I actually have the contents mounted on my desktop via sshfs as an actual filesystem.

What that means? Don't bother with FTP servers. ssh access to your server is all you need.
I don't know how people will communicate in 2115, but I can't imagine a 2115 where every human doesn't know every language without any effort at all. How can a discussion of life that far in the future not mention how computers will shape it?
It’s not too bad considering the alternatives. Not all of my customers are able to download software so I still sell through catalogs. They get a 35-40% discount—which is more than Apple charges. Plus I need to press discs and print manuals.

It would be nice if Apple would fix the search features on the Mac and iOS Apps stores so people can actually find my software.
It seems like the market for a product like this (augmenting older vehicles) will diminish over time as more and more vehicles come with these features plus rolling updates and more advanced sensors standard.

If this proves to be the case, I wonder what the company will do to pivot
I tried to raise awareness of this multiple times, in the forums, on their website, on the chat. I either had crickets or answers that fel strongly opposed to changing anything with their layout.

Anyway, I feel like an ortholinear keyboard woukd be better, maybe with an enter key in the middle to space hands more, like I wrote in the past: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10885&pid=86112#...

I might try to print an alternate case and PCB. A forum post mentions joycons, joycon grooves could be a fun addition :P
I think the more charitable interpretation of this defense is:
Ads tell people about conditions they might have, but not realize there is an available drug that can treat it. Or at least an encouragement to talk to their doctor about it.
>This of course is a lightning rod

I will admit this was a particularly barbed question, probably why it was flagged.

I like your answer although arguably reading about the Nazis you can generate a lot of discussion around it (obviously much of it counter-arguments). I think if a Marxism society can generate any discussion worth having, a fascism society could do the same?

>advocate for a form of cooperative socialism not a revolutionary one and stop well short of Communism

I think you'd be surprised considering the number of hammer and sickles social media posts and Che Guevara t-shirts.
Renting sucks. There's no stability, the expectation that you'll be priced out of a place, and none of the money or time you invest in anything there is truly yours.

'Single family' dwellings tend to have a small bit of yard space (not directly a plus for me), an air-gap with other units that helps with some noise abatement, and sometimes a choice of utilities (like Internet). There's room to park the nomad-mobile (the car that's required for efficient traversal of the many suburban wastelands and the gaps between cities).

If you own, rather than rent, you're able to change and modify many things.

There are still issues of BBQs, intense dryer scent bombs, and smokers. Parties, loud vehicles, and other annoyances too.

+++ my own ideal solution criteria +++

* Able to own
* Able to modify inside the walls
* Privacy of noise isolation
* Privacy of fresh air
* Internet choice (#1)
* Parking included (#2)

The privacy issues I see most easily resolved by requiring mechanical isolation spaces, similar to the old wetwalls, between units, above and beneath as well. My ceiling should not be directly hanging off of someone else's floor. The extra mechanical space also allows room for proper ducting of intakes and exhausts to allow a building intake of fresh air through a common filtration unit, and exhaust through a similar scrubber unit to remove particulate matter and minimize ecological pollution.

#1 Internet choice would happen after the last mile. The last mile being municipal fiber to ethernet links, and transit at high speed for base taxpayer cost to 2-3 peering points out of the local set. Real choice would be offered by competition at those locations. Peering points might be likely at government command and control centers (city hall, police hq, fire stations), or temples of information worship (libraries, schools, post offices?).

#2 Parking is the terminus of the inter-city and inter-state interlink that currently exists. This doesn't have to be per building. A 'cave of steel' like city could have interfaces (parking garages) at the edges, ideally with monitored space, even small storage boxes (garages) for cars. Naturally these would also be cargo terminals and there'd be a good transit system between them and everyplace within the city. This would require urban planning, mass transit and/or people-mover belts, and maybe an electric cargo drone delivery system. BTW, wouldn't an electric cargo drone delivery system be a lovely civic infrastructure aid? Completely eliminates the most annoying aspects of all current delivery services.
San Francisco has a very valuable and expensive tech labor pool. By GDP, however, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim very much is the dominant economy in California, not the Bay Area. Certainly a city as small as SF proper couldn't qualify for "is California" status in anything.

Commercial structures often appreciate as an area gentrifies and starts using legislation to kick out industrial activity in favor of coffee shops and other consumer facing stuff. So the facilities (and permission to operate them) appreciate like there's no tomorrow.
The real solution here is not complaining about individual use cases of energy, but effective carbon pricing. Wit cap & trade on a global level, this wouldn't be an issue. Of course there seems no political will nor ability to make this happen any time soon.
Traditional media is using their influence to lead regulation of social media under the guise of protecting people from fake news after having that same prove their bias and even outright falsification of the news; does a month go by where a major news outlet doesn't have to restate a story? Fake news or declaration something is fake news is no different than product placement. News organizations sell authenticity which they use to make money from actual product placement and many companies desire to advertise through certain outlets as they seem some more desirable than others.

At times in my local paper the small print stating a story is paid placement is easily overlooked but these stories tend to only occur on weekends

However we have to admit that product placement in some movies and television shows has approached meme quality to where the products were more talked about than the show they were on.

On a side note, a friend who does stream on twitch has to be explicit when being paid to play a game or even given a free key. they also prevent give away contest from being limited to subscribers.
The 70s were before the wall came down. It's claimed that east and west Germany were reintegrated very quickly after reunification, but i am not sure I believe it.
