There is certainly an entrenchment of an American and global oligarchy. What oligarchs historically fear the most is growing resentment among the masses, whether justified or not (i.e., disliking rampant exploitative practices like usury vs. your run-of-the-mill envy). When that happens, distraction, _unwarranted_ suspicion, and confusion are excellent tools. Distraction and _baseless_ suspicion can refocus resentment by whipping up conflicts among the masses themselves. This has the secondary benefit of dividing the masses and rendering them harmless. Confusion about basic facts and weakening the level-headed exercise of reason can render people blind, inert, and ineffectual, often producing self-absorption. There are lot of ways to do this. Pornography ("sexual liberation as political control"), fear mongering, racial conflict, prurient and stupefying film, sensationalist news. Even COVID, which is very much a real virus, became an instrument of political control (the senseless prolonging of undiscriminating lockdowns and social distancing limits social contact and communication). Censorship is another symptom because if you censor discussion that says too much, again, a dangerous consensus might result that will destabilize the status quo that those in power rely on.

But such tactics don't last. Either the society in question self-destructs because such a state of affairs is never sustainable, or people realize what's being done anyway. This is a dangerous situation to be in. Those in power rarely wish to change, and the mob can itself impose the most terrifying tyranny.

All this would explain the emerging interest in socialism. Ties between private interests and government are extremely fuzzy, with revolving doors between industries like Big Tech and Washington. Growing resentment among the masses poses a threat. Socialism would seem to both secure oligarchic power by completing the merger of corporate interest and government while also pacifying the resentment of the mob with state-funded services and UBI or whatever else. Not all oligarchs agree on the precise means, which is where power struggles can come into play, but the general trajectory is thus.
Django is the gold standard for consistently pushing out reliable, well documented open source software without any marketing fluff or other bs. The amount of value the team is adding to the world can't be overstated.

I've played chess under the influence of psilocybin with a sober friend. I was massacred.

There are creative aspects to programming, and you might gain some insights that are applicable, but I'd save the implementation till you come down unless the dose was rather small.
He should have invested in making better speakers.
My bad, deleted my comment. Assumed that "Current (and about to be former)" meant that they were putting former into the brackets (so in that quoted bit it was just a "..." that was removed) and that their bold was showing the new text.
I'd also like to thank you for the work you've put into LYSE. I'm reading through LYSE and the O'Reilly book, and LYSE is much easier to read.
To be specific, the relatively cheap GPS-guided bombs that became available after the 1991 Gulf War consisted of new electronics and new tail sections bolted onto ordinary "iron" bombs manufactured many years earlier.

They're really nice. Thanks for sharing.
I'm confused by why Facebook would suspend Trump, and worried about the precedent it sets - namely that tech companies' leaders and employees, who operate the digital public town square but are not subject to first amendment free speech law, will now censor anyone whom they politically disagree with.

The first reason I feel this is a bad decision is that it is selective enforcement. As an example, in Seattle, we have had BLM and antifa groups encouraging, inciting, and participating in all kinds of criminal acts - illegal assemblies, failure to follow police orders, property damage, physical violence, blockading of highways, arson, and of course the infamous CHAZ/CHOP autonomous zone incident. Why aren't all those accounts also banned when the damage they have caused is much more consistent and much more clearly an act of violence? Why weren't "journalists" streaming coverage of CHAZ banned from Twitch, Twitter, and Facebook for amplifying the message of those criminals? To this day, the 'Everyday March' group in Seattle (who blocks roads/highways) has used Instagram and Twitter to promote and coordinate dangerous, illegal acts daily. Every single day. And yet no action has been taken by big tech to censor them.

The second reason this doesn't make sense to me, is that I don't see clear evidence of Trump "inciting" people to break the law and storm the capitol. I may just be ignorant and unaware, so if someone could share the evidence I'd appreciate it. But as far as I can tell, there is no tweet or Facebook post where Trump explicitly tells people or encourages them to storm the capitol. Even claiming that Trump "condones" this act is a step too far, putting words in his mouth. I agree he hasn't condemned it explicitly, and that is despicable. But I am not seeing how Trump's posts incite violence, condone the storming of the capitol, or would materially encourage further violence. I get that he doesn't have to be explicit to have that effect, but that is not enough for me to feel that big tech is justified in censoring his posts.
Please, get a grip. The other side goes up in arms when somebody KNEELS. The outrage at the protests earlier this year were obvious, perhaps you weren't reading the news.
He is still the president today, making your argument dubious.
When, exactly, did Joe Biden incite CHAZ/CHOP to take over the Capitol Building in order to overthrow lawful election results in a last-ditch attempt to cling to power?

This was a coup attempt.
Signal (over Telegram). Signal is open-source, on GitHub, and run by a non-profit organisation. You can even use your own server if you're so inclined.
BLM never made it into the capitol or even the grounds. They built a large fence to keep them out.
We even can call it newspeak.com.
In the United States we hold the ideal that individuals should be subject to due process before being punished by the state. The idea that people should be executed extrajudicially is incompatible with a core philosophy of the American system and is way out of line with mainstream American values and beliefs.

It didn't work so well for him either, he got fired. When he came back, he was different, because he'd gotten married.

The terrible official biography of him actually notices that he was better the second time around and totally ignores it, but this is the reason.
Except Graal isn't the JVM, quite trivial to understand by anyone that knows a little bit about compilers.
Hopefully I checked and I'm not subscribed to matrix:matrix.org via my local ISP matrix+element :).

I noticed the archive json files have timestamps, so may be 'archive since previous archive timestamp' would do the trick (if there's a way in the matrix protocol to do that, and if matrix software is efficient in ressources in this timestamp to timestamp case).

And having a starting timestamp being channel join time minus a user specified number of days to go backward a bit in your archive.
I don't work anymore, but I'm curious of what happened.

You said they destroyed you.

Did they fire you for working on your project?

Were you harassed? (tall poppy syndrome?)
I think there's quite a bit of historical philosophical, and theological, debate on the topic.

Boils down to "there is an immutable, foreordained destiny" vs. "each actor chooses freely and history is the sum of those vectors".
"National treasure" is a common/colloquial phrase in the United States.
Steve Jobs built consumer products that he wanted for himself, his family and friends. He would push for out of the box ideas while scrutinizing every detail of the product, optimized and repeated.

Tim Cook builds the supply chain that he wants for himself, his shareholders and coworkers. He pushes for out of the box ideas while scrutinizing every detail of the supply chain, optimizes and repeats.

Tim Cook builds supply chain the way Jobs built for consumers. Jobs needed customer insight, creativity and societal foresight. Instead to make product decisions Cook has a giant user base to "A/B test" (between different phone models/features every quarter), he can afford to wait/purchase/curate good ideas rather than use foresight, and purchase creativity and ingenuity.

Apple no longer needs another Steve Jobs at the throne, they have access to hire two generations of the global population "raised by" and trying to emulate Steve Jobs while having the skills and 90% the talent of Woz. Apple today needs a master of execution that has a willingness to find the right new talent and give them a supply chain platform like never before seen. e.g. If you're talented in CPU and GPU development, where do you want to work in 2021/2022? Cook's supply chain optimization for A1 and M1 has made Apple one of the top three players in the industry. If as a developer, you want to re-think the need for a motherboard, or how to best integrate a Modem with the CPU (maybe a GPU/Neural Net enhanced storage/network card?), there is only one company you can go to right now to build that creative dream. Cook can leverage that creativity and ingenuity to delight customers while pushing like crazy on the supply chain.

Recent quote from Elon Musk: "Every company will soon have EVs. Every company will also have Autonomous driving. But no other company will be able to out compete Tesla at manufacturing." Similarly, Amazon Retails' newest CEO Dave Clark used to head the supply chain logistics. Clearly Apple's board, Amazon's board and Tesla's board all focused on the same thing, supply chain and logistics, imply there is some clear long term customer and shareholder value about it.
Actually, rather than a violation of privacy, this may be a great victory for accountability. I say this because I do not believe that anyone expects privacy for an action that they perform within the sight of a cop: if a cop is there, you can assume he will see you, it's kind of silly to think otherwise.

However, what it does do is provide accountability. It is no longer a matter of "the cop vs the criminal", now, in court, there will be video evidence for what actually happened. For law abiding citizens, there will be no difference, for the cops, it will mean that they will be forced to provide reasons for and accurate accounts of all their actions. This does not violate privacy, it protects the innocent from the wrong doings of thugs in cop uniforms. (not saying all cops are like this, most aren't, but there's always a few bad apples)
The article also didn't give any numbers at all. How much radioactivity are we talking about here? Talking about "tonnes of radioactive water" is meaningless.

80 MBq/L * 300,000 L = 24 TBq

Investigations showed that the level of water in the tank was about 3 metres lower than expected, indicating that some 300 cubic metres had escaped.

Tepco told WNN that the leaked water had already passed through the first 'SARRY' stage of decontamination, which had removed most of the radioactive caesium. It was yet to pass through the 'ALPS' treatment that would remove strontium and other beta-emitting radionuclides. As such its radioactivity is considered medium-to-low at 80,000 becquerels per cubic centimetre. Dose rates measured for gamma and beta radiation were high at over 100 milliSieverts per hour, while the dose rate for gamma only was low at just 1.5 milliSieverts per hour. Tepco did not specify if these were dose rates at the water surface or, more likely, a standard 1 metre above the ground.

As the article explains, the concern is that they violated a law originally designed to prevent malicious "hacking" and that carries penalties that may be stronger than are warranted for something that's a lot closer to trespassing.

If you scroll past the first few pages, you can read the EFF explain in detail why this is a problem http://ia601209.us.archive.org/33/items/gov.uscourts.cand.25...
Grubwith.us only allows you to pay with an US visa card, but we don't have one. What can we do?
His $10.40 is the cost for an "incremental" 4-top, ie a group that wouldn't have booked without coming in via opentable since they were new to the place. Given that even OpenTable's info estimates only 50% of the bookings would be incremental, and that that's likely an overestimate in OT's favor, I can imagine $10.40 may be about right.

4-top via OT = $4

1/2 4-tops from OT "incremental", cost is now $8 per incremental.

If it's really 2/5 4-tops from OT are incremental, we're at $10 per incremental.
Health care is just another example of the "The government owes me something" mentality. We do not need another government program that will only increase in cost that will never go away once it is started.

One thing I've always wished for but never had.

Quiet time:
One hour every day where no one can schedule meetings or call their co-workers. One hour of zero interruptions. Most tech people I know work after hours or from home, just to get this.

I'll spend 30mins in the morning carefully writing an email to detail the current status of my project. Then I'll get four or five 5-15min drivebys interspersed throughout the day to ask about updates, estimates, timelines, changes, or other projects. Part of the frustration is not even knowing if I can start a complicated task before someone comes in to derail it.
Join a club, go indoor rock climbing (see planet granite), do running, biking, find something you are interested in @ meetup.com and go to there events.

$29 is enough for a week's worth of meals from the nearby Chinese restaurant. When I have to choose between entertainment and food, I'm going with the latter; some other people will get the food and acquire the entertainment through "cheaper" means as well. One way to get loyal customers is to reward them immediately without asking for anything.
I can see why it was unused. Looks like it says "Foid."

The minimalist in me would prefer 1 or 2 more iterations. Maybe without the strange dot off the 'd' and the superfluous flair on the 'F'.
Comparing anywhere to Silicon Valley is probably unfair. I moved from SF to Austin are they are too different to seriously compare.

While UT can do better, there's nothing stopping the students from connecting with the various tech meetups and incubators around Austin. We're each responsible for our own education.

I went to grad school at UT (advertising) and sadly almost nothing I learned there applies to my day-to-day work (co-founder at a web design/dev shop). I was a tad bitter when I finished but channeled the frustration into motivation. There are people within academia who get it (usually adjuncts or people with private sector experience), but most don't and never will. That's why they're there.

The programmers I've worked with that have a CS background (formal or not) are a cut above those without. I'd liken it to a classically trained pianist. If you can play Beethoven you can easily figure out how to play pop, but the reverse isn't true.
Like I keep telling you, this isn't any more or less secure than any existing solution because the browser is not secure in the face of an attack. Even with HTTPS if I can inject some javscript then it's a one-liner to get your password.

So no, even with HTTPS and your proposed solution you'd still be screwed.
I think this article is more interesting: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/the-ford-logo-tha...
The flip side of the coin is how much money will it cost to support users like you.

Take the high end of the Yahoo! estimate from this thread -- 2% of your users have JS turned off. If it takes 10% more programming time to support those users, is it worth it? That's a question that can only be answered in a specific context.

You are "supposed" to build your app using progressive enhancement and graceful degradation. But that puts an additional burden on the programmer. If that burden is worth it to you, then do it. Otherwise, don't bother supporting JS-disabled users.

My startup is focused on b2b users. Few of them don't have JS. It takes more of my mindshare and time to support those people. Without an affirmative business case to support those people, I cannot justify it to my cofounders.
There are still laws covering unmarried couples living together with or without children. You are not out of reach of the law changing because you are not married. If you have no contract, you'll get the default anyways, its just more trouble.

I don't know about where you are but there are a few different standard terms of marriage even without drafting your own custom contract. The situation is just less clear and more trouble in case things go bad if you are not married... and I don't mean divorce or separation, I also mean death, being incapacitated, stuck in a foreign country etc. And that is not even when children are involved.
> Are you willing to kill 20 people per year to keep safe?

Unfortunately, the answer for most is yes. That's more or less the definition of war.

Edit: Yikes! I'm really getting downvoted here, but no one's saying why. I didn't say I agreed with it! I just said that most people would probably say yes.
I can't see that they've done any of this. They've been pretty polite about the whole thing. At least that's what the article says. The fact they mention that their terms give them the right to deny users access to their service at any time doesn't mean they're threatening. It's just a reminder.

They're said the DMCA was a mistake and they hold their hands up to that. Aside from that, I can't see how they've done anything wrong. OK so asking the author to remove it from 3rd party sites is a bit cheeky, but that's all they did.. ask. I would have asked too, the author didn't have to. He clearly didn't want any trouble.

Imo Dropbox should have just fixed then, and sat there and laughed when people tried to use Dropship and it not work. It would have saved 'Dropbox attempts to kill open source project' and may have even caused for 'Dropbox fixes file hashing issue x days after open source project built to exploit it'. That way, both win. But that's just my 2 cents
Know the under documented legacy architecture inside out. Also helps if the bus factor of that arcane knowledge is in the low single digits.
Looks nice. But there should be some way to see the source without downloading a zip.

Github is an easy answer, something like what the HTML5 Boilerplate or backbone.js does would be even cooler.
I think a social layer is inevitable, the way that people used to interact with websites purely through urls today is too impersonal. What Facebook is doing is creating a great abstraction layer to improve the UX of the web as a whole.

Which is fantastic, except that it's Facebook.

Just got back from Japan. Happened to see a guy in Okinawa using a Pentel product I had never seen, a new twist on an old idea, a modern version of the pens designed for Kanji, absolutely loved it. Found them in Tokyo. Now I found this trove of them online. Wanted to share with some folks who are need to know something about typography.

he's made numerous comments about the US needing to be more competitive with china for many years, so it may just be as simple as that.
Mice are far from perfect proxies for humans, but when it comes to dietary and nutrition studies, they are surprisingly good matches. Others have pointed out the cost/quantity/ease advantages of working with mice. Another big advantage is that some mice (and many rats) are opportunistic omnivores, like humans. As such, their digestive systems have evolved to be reasonably similar to ours. (Key word here being "reasonably").
I'm so confused by Hacker News, sometimes. This just went from the front page to oblivion.

I could see an argument that the people more equipped to answer more technical questions may leave if they have to wade through a bunch of questions that could be answered in the docs.

Actually, i disagree to call H.264 "open" which is also on that slide. I mean, you are right, there is a list of open protocols, he could've also added tcp, ip, dns, ntp, etc. to it. It just seems so contradictory when Steve dedicated a whole slide for the word "open" and in the end presents an iphone-to-iphone technology.
NICE.

CTR nonce collisions are one of my most favoritest attacks. Everyone misses that. It doesn't help that CTR documentation isn't clear on how you should divide the nonce space up between counters and IV-style nonce; you'll find targets where you can induce them to wrap.
