Exactly this, voluntourism is an exchange of money for time spent experiencing a very different culture which you can tell other people about for a long time and also feel good while telling stories to kids or laying bricks. Oh and a week long safari according to the article.

There is very little that is altruistic about the practice and an altruistic option is not an option for most people who go on these trips. I don't know what cut of the $3000 the school in the article got, but if it wasn't enough then I'm sure they wouldn't invite a load of useless white kids around to set their construction back.
Matches my experience - was very much a "sure, we could do that, but it's not our core competency or the best use of our resources"
I think it's more about changing perceptions of the NSA. Most think of government as working slow, being archaic and having no effect. The Snowden leaks showed that the NSI is pushing the limits both technologically and tactically (whether you agree/think it's legal or not).
Yup, I've had a Citizen eco-drive (solar powered watch) which has been going 10+ years.

It's an interesting model - there's some form of drive mechanism for the analog hands that let them move independently of the time. I.e. if you turn it to stopwatch mode, the hands will move to 12:00 and use the minute hand for marking minutes.

I've always wondered what kind of electronics are in there - and if they're even digital.
No, but they also aren't shown on the company's product page with a keyboard in the photo and "Great pen experience" as a subheader.

> After that, the process to get a clearance could take anywhere from another 6 months to 2 years (possibly more in some exceptional cases) and costs the agency about 250k.

Excellent. I see an opportunity here. Apply en-masse and let it go after you get the clearance.
The one in Giza, Egypt is quite challenging.
I'm curious about the backstory to this contest. Who is running it and why?

Group of puzzle enthusiasts banding together to push the envelope? Tech startup wanting to off-load design work for a future game?
Lack of sleep, have a young child at home ... can't really focus on anything else but documenting own older code or watching lectures right now.
i don't agree with the zionist ideal at all. What i'm saying is after the holocaust there no longer existed the option of staying in Europe' necessitating the creation of a jewish state. As for the arab refugees, a similar number of jews were expelled from arab countries yet a united nations agency wasn't needed to deal with them. At the same, time these jews were exiled under pain of death. The palestinians chose on their own not to participate in the new state (these are 1 million israeli arabs). And up until the 18 century isral was largely a deserted wasteland. The land was made livable by early jewish pioneers.
Yeah, pretty remarkable to see Intel behaving this way with a _current_ customer. I would’ve thought that would be off-putting for other current and potential Intel customers. I don’t have an MBA though, so what do I know.
This may be fine for the current M1 macs, since they are most likely not used by professionals or people that will do potentially installation damaging things, so a trip to the Apple Store will suffice. But this better work once the pro machines come out. It's already hard to recover data from the newer mac's when your system installation has issues, not being able to boot from another drive is going to suck.
Northern germany also knows it. Maybe it has something to do with age. It's usage has declined over the years, I think. Maybe because it belittles the underlying issue, as it sounds rather "cute" to a native speaker. Just an educated guess, though.
Only the worst teachers teach by maiming.
I don't know what that app is for but I usually receive ads for an app I've already installed and it was titled 'Time to revisit the app'
is there something particular about Number3s that applies to this discussion? In general I like it when people explain to me what I don't know. Unfortunately I don't have time to watch the whole show.

To answer you question, an example of shallow math is using an ODE to model population biology. This is mainly because the math doesn't actually tell you something that you qualitatively didn't already know. An example of deep mathematics is using representation theory to analyze the quantum charge, spin etc of fundamental particles.

Nice one! So is the trick that:

1. JPEG allows text comments

2. Browsers don't enforce correct HTML (alternatively, is "���� JFIF , ,�� r<html>" correct HTML?)

3. And exif tools mostly work based on header & statistical analysis?

Or am I completely wrong here?
> Today we had 4 tech billionaires/CEOs telling us what politicians we’re allowed to hear from or talk about.

Nope, they are telling you who is allowed on their platform.

You can hear from or talk about whoever you want.
Many people, myself included, argue that there is. I acknowledge that there's a value to some excavations, but you should pursue those goals as respectfully as possible. If I can't ask descendants, the safest thing to do ethically is treat them as I would treat something equivalent in my own life.

In a more pragmatic sense, trying to draw a line at some finite number of years always turns up an edge case like Kennewick man where someone genuinely cares about a 9k year old skeleton. Adopting the conservative approach of "extend the same respect to everyone, regardless of age" is both the simplest and the legally safest ethical system.
Reminds me of a scene from Cryptonomicon that may or may not have been inspired by history. It describes the RAM from a fictionalized 1940s computer:

>The pipes are laid out horizontally, like a rank of organ pipes that has been knocked flat. Stuck into one end of each pipe is a little paper speaker ripped from an old radio.

>“The speaker plays a signal—a note—that resonates in the pipe, and creates a standing wave,” Waterhouse says. “That means that in some parts of the pipe, the air pressure is low, and in other parts it is high.” He is backing down the length of one of the pipes, making chopping motions with his hand. “These U-tubes are full of mercury.” He points to one of several U-shaped glass tubes that are plumbed into the bottom of the long pipe.

>[...]

>“If the air pressure in the organ pipe is high, it pushes the mercury down a little bit. If it’s low, it sucks the mercury up. I put an electrical contact into each U-tube—just a couple of wires separated by an air gap. If those wires are high and dry (like because high air pressure in the organ pipe is shoving the mercury down away from them), no current flows. But if they are immersed in the mercury (because low air pressure in the organ pipe is sucking the mercury up to cover them), then current flows between them, because mercury conducts electricity! So the U-tubes produce a set of binary digits that is like a picture of the standing wave—a graph of the harmonics that make up the musical note that is being played on the speaker. We feed that vector back to the oscillator circuit that is driving the speaker, so that the vector of bits keeps refreshing itself forever, unless the machine decides to write a new pattern of bits into it.”

Mechanical computing in general is fascinating. People also used to use precisely-machined drums and cams to perform complex realtime calculations.
Right, that's not the default option.

I have the same take. I had a cordless Dyson that worked okay, but I would spend a lot of time cleaning the rotating brush and crap getting stuck in the small inlet (which probably had to be small in order to get good suction with the smaller capacity of the battery-powered motor).

And while it's bagless, with my cats I had to empty the canister a couple of times every time I cleaned the house.

Now the power supply to the rotating brush seems to have died, I'll probably try to fix it eventually but I took the opportunity to buy a good old Henry as a replacement. It's got a huge bag, a huge filter, it's much more powerful and does a great job. Yeah, I have to buy bags, but they're cheap and that's basically the only maintenance I have to worry about.
Why would he worry about concrete things, like customer service, when he can add three billion dollars to his on-paper wealth by sending two tweets about bitcoin?

Responding to this sort of thing would mean acknowledging that TSLA's future is defined by something rooted in reality, as opposed to purely sentiment. As long as it doesn't actually have to stop and deal with these kinds of problems, its valuation is like that of dot-com startup - unbounded.
Do not underestimate the power of human creativity and antreprenorial spirit when correctly motivated. The ability to sell this vaccine at obscene profits would've been extremely motivating.

Now I am not in pharma I don't know how exactly the extra money would've helped, but I know that in pretty much any business more money help with new hires and better people, new machines for production lines, more wild ideas being tested and discarded if not working. Also this is a supply chain issue and they would've been strongly incentivised by more profits. Even those damn syringes missing in Japan and little container bottles to store vaccines in. Finally at macro level better profits would've attracted and incentivised more entrepreneurs with more ideas and imagination. Remember, the very existence of the Moderna and BioNTech companies is due to the free market and private enterprise.

Now on the more very short term an expensive vaccine would've reduce demand by making people consider alternatives and by making sure only people that really need it would get it. It would've avoided aberrations like vaccinating terminal patients or people who are not active and can very well wait for the price to come down wearing masks in the meantime.

But I am afraid that the supply constraint for the vaccine is long term. Because the virus is changing. And our incentives are more aligned with prolonged lockdowns than vaccine production.
I'm most interested in Scala's structural typing.

Are there any studies comparing real world impact of structural vs nominal typing?

Defects? Code size? Team size? Architectural choices, big and small, like use of Visitor design patterns?

I've looked, but no joy.

--

FWIW, metaprogramming should be reserved for personal projects and small high trust teams. Definitely not for bog standard data processing and CRUD apps.

I'm kinda curious how structural typing story plays out in this dichotomy.
by lobbyists, do you mean bribes? which should be illegal.
This is such a clickbait headline. Clubhouse asks for your contacts to invite them, same shady stuff that thousands of other apps have been doing for years, nothing special.
I'm a big believer in "everything is a wear item on a long enough timeline". You won't catch me hurring and durring and getting my panties in a bunch because somsone's gonna wear out the ball joints on their lifted truck in 80k instead of 100k. But spending 50k to have the display on your Tesla or the frame on your Toyota crap out in under a decade is unreasonable.
Love this I first learned about breathwork from using a quantified self product called Gyrosco.pe. Their breathwork classes were the main reason I paid 80$/month for the product!
Love to see a service providing just these classes for half the price
Could it be possible we get this too in the workstation and laptop ecosystems?
And different technologies (and possibly different ways of implementation under the hood). Nodyn uses DynJS, this uses Nashorn.
Amazing how grown-ups can de-evolve so quickly to middle schoolers. "Seriously, like o.m.g. did you hear that kevin got turned away by hackajar at that party???"

Don't get me wrong - I'm on the same page as everyone about a lot of this stuff, but gods be damned, the infosec/hacker community can be so childish sometimes.
Well, 1&1/United Internet has a reputation for such bad behavior [1,2].

Actually it's quite easy to just enter some address and order some useless premium services "in behalf" of other people - this actually happened to a member of my family. According to consumer protection organizations this seems to be their business model [3,4].

The fact that HTML5 basically completely specified the parsing for any string of input, even "syntax error" cases, raises an interesting point: if these errors still result in some DOM and across all browsers that choose to implement the error handling (which has also been standardised) so they will have the same behaviour, are they really true "errors" anymore? We usually think of error cases (e.g. in a programming language) as ones which have no meaning or could cause implementation-defined/undefined behaviour, but these have been completely defined by the standard.

I don't see any good reason to use "</br>", but there's some other cases that could be useful, like not requiring spaces between quoted attributes (name1='value1'name2="value2"). I see a parallel with this and the evolution of natural languages: words and syntax that used to be incorrect gradually become accepted as part of the language and attain a normative meaning, because everyone still understands.
That may be impossible - it depends how far back the problem goes: If someone stole some money three weeks ago and spent it, then any transaction descending from that original bad transaction would have to be invalidated too. This could conceivably be a large fraction of all bitcoin transactions since then because of the way bitcoins get 'mixed'.

In other words, most likely we would have to reset everything to the way it was before any of the bad transactions, and they might have started years ago (my impression is it was a small but long-term drain). This would be insupportable to anyone who has sold any goods since then.

Also, you don't need to persuade the miners, so much as the sellers (of goods): The miners will mine whichever blockchain on which bitcoins have value, and bitcoins have value only because people accept payment using them. In other words, your main challenge is to convince anyone selling goods in bitoin to update to the new client - the very people who would likely get screwed by reversing transactions.
It's an appropriate perspective for Japan. The country is slowly dying off as the population shrinks. Outside of Tokyo and Osaka, cities and towns are emptying out. On the way down, life is good.
> In short, security teams suck at intra-company sales sometimes.

I've been at this a long time. My POV is that this is true, but doesn't matter. The leadership almost never actually cares about security. It's the correct choice for most orgs. https://hbr.org/2015/03/why-data-breaches-dont-hurt-stock-pr...

Even the most impacted companies only take a hit in the medium term (1 yr) at best. https://investorplace.com/2019/03/equifax-stock-investors-ar... Right after that article, the stock took off and is still doing well.

Leadership is sophisticated these days. They aren't ignoring security due to lack of salesmanship from their security team.

Somewhere I have posted code that uses Inline::Perl, Inline::Python, Inline::Ruby, and I think maybe Inline::Go to convert Base64. (Perhaps other language interfaces as well, I don't quite remember)

Plenty of p2p communities have been doing something similar for years. If you invite someone to the forum, and they get banned, you get banned too... or at least have your privileges revoked for some time.
What is going on with this article? Usually I expect really well thought out pieces from Stratechery. Clubhouse definitely has marketing down I guess.

But in the article there is literally not a single mention of Discord, why not? Discord has been providing me the exact experience described here. I’ve had really interesting conversations with strangers on Discord, people are much more civil in disagreeing if it’s not text based! And what about twitch, “Just chatting” is definitely a competing product here in the 1 to many category.
For combat flight sims, in addition to the suggestions offered by sibling, I'd also recommend looking at DCS and IL-2. Great attention to detail, tons of well-made DLC available, online play is solid, and you can spend as much on your cockpit and controls as your retirement plans can stand.

For example, I recently bought the F-14 DLC. A fan-made manual that takes you through the basics, in a mere ~500 pages (!), can be found here: https://www.mudspike.com/chucks-guides-dcs-f-14b-tomcat/

Lots of manuals for other aircraft on that site too, check it out.
The challenge you have is that people view housing as an investment. Americans expect their home values to keep pace with inflation. And because housing values are so expensive, there's a tremendous amount of psychological pressure to "preserve" what they've purchased beyond their own property line (eg: "Neighborhood character"). For these reason, they're going to oppose any new supply entering the market.

The only way you're going to fix this problem for good is to have the government step in and force new housing supply into markets, which is going to be extremely unpopular with everyone, including most YIMBYs who would favor removing market barriers. So it's a political impossibility - you can blame it on Boomers but truth is Americans aren't ready to decomodify the housing market.
I believe the point stands regardless of your net worth. People come up with rationalizations to smooth over the ego-stinging admission that they were somebody else's greater fool. Your net worth relative to your loss may be yet another rationalization. Instead of, "I was wrong," it's, "Well, it's only $X anyway."

But maybe time will prove you right. If you truly believe that, should you risk more of your money on $GME?
I believe it has an Nvidia card in it. While I did game on it awhile ago I haven't for several years now. Possibly I haven't pushed the hardware long enough to cause GPU thermal issues to arise.
actually it is, ES6 native js is too long to type, jQuery is so neat and short, I will continue use jQuery whenever it's fit
Ah yeah, I did not want to rule out the possibility that people in general may be shit at forming their own opinions even when they do spend the time and energy. But that also opens the rabbit hole into why that would be the case (low vs high intelligence - but intelligence is hard to generalize), and variance of judgement based on context (e.g. quality soccer judgement vs shit hockey judgement for same person).

All of which kind of comes back to quantitative changes to either time or energy needed for each person to get to an acceptable judgement (even if it's infinite of both for some people-topic pairs), and both of those resources are incredibly finite compared to the volume of topics that are beneficial to the community to have beliefs on.

The big point I want to drive home here, which I have a feeling we agree on, is that we should prioritize the topics people are forming their beliefs on more than what those beliefs are. This is something authoritative figures actually can help with (for better or worse) due to the centralization. So imo, maybe you disagree here, it is not enough to simply allow authoritative sources to exist but we should be more actively promoting sources as authorities for topics.
Why did you write this comment? It does nothing to disprove my point

Shameless plug: I worked on a similar tool mdocs [1]. The main difference is that is opensource, it supports authentication and authorization [2] similar to Google Docs. The authorization part allows you to share documents at company level.

It is a 100% client-side application, it uses Firebase as backend and Auth0 for authentication.

I'm using IntelliJ on Windows for Scala dev, and boy is it slow. I have to manually set the process priority to "Below Normal" every time, or it will soak up all system resources and music playback becomes jittery. Clicking right on anything is a four-second pause mistake.

It's free, so I shouldn't be complaining. Thanks for the product! Really, it's better than vim (especially with the intellij vim-mode plugin). I appreciate it.

But I'd feel a bit sour had I paid money for this. Especially after having seen Visual Studio. Wow, what a difference.

EDIT: laptop specs fwiw: Lenovo G505s, AMD A10, 8GB RAM, normal HDD.

EDIT2: Comparing the UI to other java apps is disingenuous. I'm no UI expert, but this looks fine. It won't win any awards, but it's not your average pile of swig.

“100%” and “never” are quite unconvincing.
Yes, that is the big takeaway here and why I just lost a ton of respect for Canonical.

In Canonical's statement they never regretted using the information to contact the user. The part they regretted was TELLING the user that they are monitoring the installs and linking those installs to personal contact details.

Canonical promised to improve training to avoid those "poor choice of words", NOT to stop the practice. Basically they will train their staff to make it feel more serendipitous when they just so happen to reach out about selling an enterprise license moments after you install the VM on Azure. Canonical doesn't regret this sales practice and plans to keep using it. That's the scary part in this story.
