I think you're misunderstanding the concepts of white supremacy and white privilege. Most white Americans do not trace their ancestry to slave owners, even those whose ancestors were in the US before emancipation. Likewise, not all Black Americans are descendants of slaves in the US or the broader Americas.

Nonetheless, we're a country where Black Americans are subject to all sorts of disadvantages. My parents experienced the segregated South. It wasn't that long ago. The attitudes that allowed for de jure segregation to persist didn't simply disappear in the 60s. No reparations were made for 350 years of de jure oppression. This casts a long shadow materially and societally.

Generally, few people think of white people as being hardcore white supremacists simply for being white. Although I would say that Black people do want to see white people be actively anti-white supremacy, not just neutral, because white people are still the demographic majority and wield overwhelming political and economic power. So basically, there can be no justice to be found for Black Americans without the active participation of white people.

When it comes to searches for technical reasons, dev related, sci, even gov searches, duckduckgo blows google out of the water. Junk random searches, trivial things, yea... its weak. My experience I should say.
It doesn't work for me for quite a while now (for up to a year), even with recent versions from git [0]. My preliminary guess is that's because Google renders each result with <div> (block element) inside an <a> tag. I didn't have any extra spare time to test that further (and report) though, so I simply ditched Google and just went with duck.com from that point.

That's a good idea but how would it work in practice? Would there be a two pass matching system? For example, let's say the friendly folks of this app match me with someone, what do I see? Do I now see a match, and my match sees me, and we can message? Or would I see my match and have the choice of declining?

It's interesting, but it's a different model to the XAND model currently used by dating app matching.
> in most markets men are at a significant disadvantage because of how men and women differ in the way they approach dating

This is such a ridiculous thing to say. A significant disadvantage compared to _who_? Other men? That sort of negates your statement? The women on the platform? Men aren't competing against women on the platform to find a date, for the most part.

I think you're sort of dancing around the issue that attractive people on the platform are going to attract more attention, but that applies to both genders equally. If you don't want 'competition', try seeking out people who aren't conventionally attractive.
Charge $100-$4000 a person. Make money while taking customers from all other dating sites once word gets out your site works and theirs don't
With a few well-known* exceptions it's a very risky idea to attribute any particular dish to a particular country. I'm from Eastern Europe, and can say almost any attribution can and will be disputed here :-) And situation can be farther complicated by the fact that same names are often used for different dishes.

* - And even those are disputed from time to time.

Desktops is relatively low growth and Intel holds a lot os sway with major integrators. There are about a handful of AMD offers at Dell or Lenovo and dozens of Intel ones.
Finally, it's crazy that they've haven't implemented this earlier, and why isn't it enabled by default, like on GCE? We've had for a long time an app that just polls the ec2 api and looks for impaired instances and then automatically restarts them. We have about 2-10 impaired/scheduled-for-reboot/on-deprecated hardware-instance per month so that app is quite a time-saver.
This is very impressive! The most advanced JS 2d rigid body physics engine to date!
You can do a lot of optimization though, probably double the speed. Tip: V8 loves objects and hates parsing strings.

Your functional spaghetti style is a bit weird though. I hate using the "find in file" function in my editor.
I wanted to "rip" some of the functionality, but it's so entangled I would probably need all your other functions too to make it work. But maybe that's intended :P

Many people, me included, would be willing to pay for an engine like this. I tried your "Game physics for beginners" but I'm too stupid to understand all the articles from math professors. I could probably learn, but I rather pay someone who understands.

But for me to use your engine, the API needs to be much easier! Something like this:

var box1 = new Body(size, position);
var world = new World({gravity: 9.8});
world.add(box1);
world.render();

console.log('New position: ' + box1.position);
This does not surprise me - I print all peer-reviewed journal articles I'm giving anything beyond a cursory glance, and generally prefer print editions of journals.
What if they are lying to the officials? Or what if they have information on the officials? What if they don't have information on the officials but the officials have been convinced that they probably do?
Absolutely. I myself use clonazapam (generic Klonopin) on an "as needed" basis, because you get tolerant to a particular dosage within a few weeks, and then you either increase step by step to the limits your doctor sets, or when you can mentally afford it, you wean yourself off, which is no fun at all. Good in its niche for anxiety, but not real solution.

I have eventually crippling genetic anxiety and "depression of a bi-polar nature" (it's most like bipolar depression, but I never go manic unless I'm prescribed the wrong drug (which is not uncommon in general)). A low dose of the now generic Seroquel, an atypical antiphychoic, was a life saver, without it I'd only get 4 hours of sleep a night when I need 8. I also take a stiff dose of now generic Lexapro, which is laser precise in its action.

It took years for me and my doctors to figure out this regimen that seems to be as good as possible unless and until an anti-anxiety wonder drug is developed.
Easy. The NSA does what the government tells them to. Why would the government choose to limit its own power if its hand were not forced?
Why all those "physics engines" are so jittery? Are there no ways to solve such a system with perceptually exact accurancy in realtime?

Those kinds of approximations are the source of some of the most hilarious bugs in games over last deacade or so.

Please don't read this as a critique of this particular project which is pretty good at what it's trying to do.

I just wonder why AAA games use pretty much the same math? Are there no better math?

I mean CAD systems obviously do something better... Is that the same thing as with drawing triangles vs. raytracing?
If only github had a community of developers that could play such a catch up game... oh wait.

It's kind of amusing you are arguing that it's impossible to play this game, even though that's exactly what the perpetrators are doing, they are automatically detecting API keys and harvesting the code... maybe their script is hosted on github?
Again, you're assuming a lot of cultural context here that isn't universally shared. I truly, honestly don't know what people mean when they say "dangerous ideas". My intuitive interpretation is "ideas which tell people to go be violent", but the term is very frequently used to refer to ideas which don't call for violence, so that can't be right.
It’s pretty in character with zuckerburg so that’s probably why, and the public moves of the two companies align with that part of the article. I’ll agree with you that the quote wasn’t sourced as well as it should be, but it’s hard to fault people when they are told a duck quacked and take it at face value. When someone does something in line with their reputation, people accept a lower burden of proof. If he comes out and denies it, then that’s another thing or if it was a material statement for a binding decision then it would also need more proof.
No RBAC doesn't automatically do this. And many publicly available Helm charts are missing these basic security configurations. You should use Gatekeeper or similar to enforce these settings throughout your cluster.
The solution is to reinstate the media ownership laws that Regan and W Bush eliminated: no foreign ownership of the press, strict limits on the percentage of the audience any one outlet can control nationally and locally.

That leads to grass roots competition from voices in local communities, and (in this case) some other outlets could run articles fact checking the NYT.
Hah - probably accurate! Someone has to do it though, and I don't mind.

One of my goals here is to normalize big companies giving back like this. Even with budget and supportive leadership, spending money on OSS is surprisingly difficult.
I think the word you looking for is "allegedly" instead of "probably".
I find this comment ironic
That's indeed a neat property!

Re: "no good algorithm for inverse Laplace" -- there are certainly reasonably good numerical algorithms based on evaluating contour integrals (see, e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Laplace_transform). The inversion formulas are not usually taught in undergrad courses anymore (at least not in the US) because complex function theory has been largely taken out of undergrad engineering curricula, and even for math majors is very much optional.

That's a tacit acceptance that the solutions youre porposing have absolutely no chance of ever happening at a scale that will ever matter. Politics, and economics, are the art of the possible.

Capitalism coupled to represenatative democracy is the best shot w've got at developing a fair, balanced and sustainable economic system. What we need to do is correctly and rigorously price in environmental costs into the financial costs of our economic activities. Otherwise you get Soviet Russia laying waste to vast swathes of territory with misconceived development programs, or China polluting it's own country and population to death due to zero political accountability. The problem with Anarch-syndicalism is that at scale people will syndicalise back into special-interest blocs and you'll be back where you started.

I've lost 30lbs on combination therapy of oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) and low dose naltrexone. There's some side-effects but nothing earth shattering. If I'm not mistaken the drug carries a thyroid cancer risk warning which hopefully applies only to the rodent testing group where it appeared.
The whole idea behind labour camps in Xinjiang is to strip Uyghurs living in China from their independent identity. Take away their history by destroying ancestral graveyards. Rid them of Islam by prohibiting religious practice and "educating" them with communist ideas through loudspeakers. And even end them as an ethnicity, by sterilising some women and raping others to produce Han offsprings.

Genocide describes that perfectly.

I make bread with 80% hydration: 500 g plain flour (11% protein) definitely no wholemeal, 400 g water, 8 g salt, 1 g dried yeast. Mix roughly leave covered for 12 hours at room temperature (that's between 15 C and 20 C at the moment), cook in a preheated pot with a lid for 30 minutes at 230 C, take off lid, cook for 15 minutes more.

Has a good crust and crumb.
Honestly for technical users the RPi should be preferred IMO. The reason I want to get Android working is to bring self-hosting to the masses. Turning an old Android phone into a personal cloud by installing a couple apps and putting it in a corner would be huge.

Android is such a pain we might have to settle for shipping custom SD cards for RPi's though.

Cisco small business line is shaping up nicely. You can get used kit on ebay pretty reasonably, update firmware without needing an account or support contract (yes, I am still talking about Cisco!) and their management console is maturing. For new installs I'm likely to go in that direction since UBNT seems lost and directionless, plus regressing on their former major selling points like no cloud required.

At this point it wouldn't shock me if they announced subscription required for firmware updates and at that point screw it - might as well go Meraki or Ruckus and get actual support as well as a lot better performance.
I mean the Anand piece.
> So when people say "programming is easy" what they really mean is that it's easier than most people expect it will be for the financial incentives it provides

This. Very well said.
Yes, Rust checks a lot of things at compile time, but not all. For example, dynamic bounds checks (indexing into a Vec or slice).
I'm not saying this is an accurate model of the financial system, just the sort of thing I was going for:

import random
import itertools

def withProb(p):
return random.random() < p

def avg100(f):
return sum(f() for i in range(100))/100

# Independent probabilities; look what happens as you get close to 1.
def marginCallChain(prob):
total = 0.0
while withProb(prob) and total < 100000:
total += 1
return total

# Dependent probabilities:
def marginCallDependent(prob):
total = 0.0
while withProb(prob) and total < 100000:
total += 1
prob = 1 - 1 /((1 / (1 - prob)) * 1.01)
return total

If you play with that with something like "avg100(lambda: marginCallChain(.95))", you can find that the chain starts extending a lot as you get close to 1. It's not a terribly sharp phase change, though.

"avg100(lambda: marginCallDependent(.95))" shows more interesting behavior. That only slightly raises the probability of the next margin call based on the fact that one occurred, and what you can see is that around .93-.95, you start seeing that every once in a while, the probability manages to occasionally work itself up to effectively 1 and the chain hits the upper limit I set. As you raise up towards one, you start to see it more and more often; .96 still sometimes manages to have a run of 100 without a crash, but even .965 the odds that one will occur in that run of 100 start to approach 1. There's a phase change between where 100 runs of the model have almost no probability of having a runaway to where the probability of at least 1 runaway is quite probable, and it's more sudden than a linear understanding of the process would suggest.

Again, this is not a model of the financial system; this is a simple model of the point I was making.

> The only two companies that ever had issues with Java owners were Microsoft thanks to J++ and Google with its Android Java.

While the Apache project is not a company, it definitely had issues with Sun over Apache Harmony's Java certification (I'm not confirming or denying that this was part of IBM's proxy wars with Sun).

Incidentally, Apache Harmony is what Google used to jumpstart not-officially-Java compatibility with Android.

> Sad that things have gone this way and Google isn't being hardly punished for what they did to Java ecosystem with their special flavoured Java and by giving Sun's fatal blow.

Speaking of "special flavoured Java" - what Google did with Android was an improvement over the fragmented mess that was Java ME. Good God, I remember Sun-approved, vendor-specific extension, so Samsung/Nokia/Sony-Ericsson each had its own API for the same functionality - e.g. checking for connectivity. Additionally, the API could be subtly different for each phone model from the same vendor. You either had to create different build pipelines (1 per vendor, with overlays/facades), or do an ungodly amount of reflection in your runtime logic. So much for "Write Once". Sun was never interested in licensing Java SE on mobile, I don't see how Google could have killed them when they weren't even competing on "your phone as a full-blown computer"

I loved Sun Microsystems; they were idealistic, geeky, and made very cool, albeit expensive gear. I suspect their idealism made them hop onto the open source bandwagon without due consideration for long-term sustainability. They open-sourced the OS (OpenSolaris), open sourced the application stack (Java, perhaps reluctantly), while their server hardware was being disrupted by x86; how were they going to make money? They were not long of this world - Linux, commodity x86 and open source Java Application Servers killed Sun. IBM was in a similar place at the time, and they shifted focus to consulting.

> But yeah lets not get distracted and join the Oracle hate mob.

I've been part of that mob for a long time, fuck Oracle for how they treated Gosling, how they handled the JCP, and mishandled OpenOffice (until it blew up in their face). I didn't care for MySQL, but it seems to have been ok so far.
I mean aren't they looking into driverless cars? Seems like has a much greater legal risk than anything peloton could ever present.
Once you switch modes, you better stick to Runtime Services, so networking etc is out.

But yes, for the beginning all that might not matter too much and you can get by running your "OS" as BDS application and incrementally migrate away from that.
Not sure how to interpret the pounding of downvotes.

Do others feel that no injustice exists in a situation where comfortable living and hopeless suffering are deemed products by luck?

Is it a disagreement that the GP's situation is based on luck (I never made that claim, GP did)?

Is it disagreement that people living comfortably based on self-admitted luck should concern themselves with those who perpetually suffer because they weren't as lucky?

Something else I'm oblivious to?
Bishounen is quite popular in Japan, many studios often use this art style, as well as female and male mangaka.

You can get paid to do that kind of math. But what about stuff that doesn't pay? The things that don't seem like work to me aren't profitable or even monetizable. And please don't tell me something to the effect of "I'm not trying hard enough".

FWIW, Musk makes no mention of expansion joints in the tube, only at the ends. He's also stated elsewhere (sorry, no source) that you'll probably need to run a polishing robot through the tube to get it microscopically smooth. That doesn't sound like a surfacing requirement that would tolerate gaps.

If you care to, check out the conversation that sillysaurus3 and I had down-thread. I would love to have someone experienced in MechE glance at my napkin math!

TL;DR it looks like simply pushing all the slack to the end stations is actually feasible, and it's easier to deal with there since the cars aren't moving very fast.
As an addition to this, I've struggled a lot with the concept of working for pay and only recently could I really begin to explain why.

Some people would probably call it 'entitlement', but I'm not really sure that's an accurate description.

As an employee, your role is essentially a permanent state of brown nosing. First of all you must convince a rich person/company that you are worthy. Then you must convince them that you want to work for them, that they're special, and so on. And then later, you must defer, every single day. Ill? According to policy document AED, page 5, section b, one of your eight sick days will be deducted, worker drone!

It's not enough to simply perform a valuable function for society. You need to be subservient and defer to authority - you are worth less than your betters (those with wealth) and must please them in order to eat, in order to shelter.

There are a few ways left in which you can directly serve other humans and profit via such - private entrepreneurial services such as window cleaning, antique dealing, etcetera - but these make up a small portion of the employment market today and are often subject to ridiculously overbearing regulation. The vast majority of 'jobs' in the Western world involve being directly, by rank, inferior to another human being.

Other people seem much more capable of dealing with this than I do. Often I find myself resenting others for putting up with the more ridiculous aspects - it feels like a betrayal, that if only people were better human beings and less likely to defer to authority we could all have a better experience.

This is the struggle I face, really. Physical trauma I find very simple - the emotional aspect of actively taking part in a system that I despise is much more difficult.
You can repoint nslookup with the `server` command which I often do when checking/debugging. I'd have to look up how to do the same with dig.
